I advocate better more equitable collection of tax and more efficient use of it. I bet we would have sufficient funds if this was achievable. I know it's just a pipe dream...in any case if they are forced to do it, they will divert the funds from somewhere else and get it done.
Or abolish negative gearing, introduce neutral gearing and abolish or reduce capital gains concessions..a national land tax rather than stamp duty etc etc.. It's all been discussed...

The problem is the rate of growth, are you are putting the ' a bit is good so more must be better' argument? The better solution would be to slow it down to something more sustainable.
