Guide to ALP’s taxation proposals (The Aust 05/03/19)

We are now fewer than 100 days from a federal election with a strong likelihood of Australia seeing a change in government.

The Shorten-Bowen tax agenda is broad and deep, and I fear that, beyond the retirement tax issue, it is also somewhat misunderstood. If the ALP’s tax agenda is enacted, it will form one of the largest tax changes since the early days of the Hawke government. While the changes introduced by then treasurer Paul Keating made sense, now I believe several proposals are unfair.
