"It is not equitable at all. Higher GST means the lower income group will spend a disproportionately higher % of their take home pay when they spend."
What's so special about Australians?
The Kiwis pay 15%
The poms pay 20%
The lower income groups in Australia get a nice tax free threshold unlike the Kiwis. I don't see the cost of living worse than our in NZ or the UK.
