You're easily pleased.... Keating was a sarcastic slease bag. Who by the way had a nearly $1 million tax bill for his piggery company wiped by the ATO in some back room deal....... which I believe may have involved the Commonwealth Bank.

Charmers certainly seems to be in the same category - dishing out tax payer dollars buying the youth vote with freebies.

Tim Wilson has been having a really bad run, it's making it easy to destroy the Libs...

Sadly, I must agree. Susan Ley is nothing but a follow-thru of the Liberal failure. She does nothing but compliment the ALP success. Just another woman around Mummy's Boy Albo, to protect him.

Seems the Libs are dead in the water as much as the Democraps of America. It must be a blue 🔵 thing?

Danielle Wood’s powerful Productivity Commission has gone exactly where the Treasurer didn’t want to go by advocating for company taxes to be slashed in its very first instalment for a blueprint to fire up the economy.


Central to the commission’s recommendations are to slash company taxes from 30 to 20 per cent for businesses with revenue up to $1bn. It appreciates the enormity of the task and argues the tax rate for those businesses with more than $1bn in turnover should be lowered to the 20 per cent rate over time.

At the same time, it suggests the introduction of a net cashflow tax of 5 per cent, allowing companies to deduct their investment costs in full. This could spur on investment, it argues.

Beyond taxes, the Productivity Commission has taken aim at the rising tide of regulation. Here it proposes a worthy idea that federal regulators should run under the abiding principle of “do no harm”.


The commission’s interim report: Creating a more dynamic and resilient economy, is the first instalment of a five-part investigation going deep into tackling Australia’s productivity malaise. More reports will be released over the next two weeks, looking at workforce productivity; digital technology; health care and the energy challenge. The full set will be out by the time Chalmers holds his productivity roundtable between August 19-21.

The Productivity Commission has urged a change in the “architecture and culture” of regulation.

“Regulators and policymakers should more proactively manage regulations and better consider the trade-offs between their regulatory objectives, risk tolerance, compliance costs, and broader economic growth,” it says.

If tax becomes too hot for the treasurer, getting serious about regulation could prove to have as much impact over the long term. And it won’t bust the budget.

On the other hand...



Let me be blunt, the Productivity Commission ain’t what it used to be.

And let me point out, the staff at the PC cannot claim to have any particular expertise in tax design, which is a highly specialised endeavour.

The recent suggestions by the PC to raise the rate of company tax rate for large companies, lower it for others and impose a cash-flow tax on all companies are truly bizarre.

The principle of simplicity is completely ditched in favour of a new arrangement that would undoubtedly spin off all sorts of unintended consequences, keep the accounting profession busy and possibly herald the exit of some of our largest companies from our fair shores.

It’s worth going back to basics here and outline the key problems with our tax system.

For starters, the rate of company tax is far too high – 30 per cent, although smaller companies pay less – and there is too much reliance on income tax as a source of revenue.

But before consideration is given to radically redesigning the tax system, the core recommendation of the PC should be a thorough review of government spending.

Promoting business in isolation - which only pays business tax on claimed profit anyway - will not do anything to fix the current tax scandals or repair the economy - only make more worthless people richer... and give more opportunity to hide income in 'costs' or simply send it Offshore into a tax haven...

Without full and proper tax reform that covers exporting cash by the ship-load, and starts to cover up the rorts, this here man's economy will fall and fall into ruin... apart from which - NO government has any home (sic) in supporting endlessly a 'business venture' that never makes a profit - like ... ooooh.... I don't know... ummm... housing serial possession at fabulous benefits instead of home buying?

Let's be honest, the liberals have no one unless you can name one ? Let alone two

The Liberals are indistinguishable from Labor. 
Just as the UK Conservatives are indistinguishable from Labour and pre-Trump Republicans were indistinguishable from Democrats.

So you support Labor then?

Shall we have another referendum on the Voice?

Susan Ley is a head wobbler when she talks.
Is this the latest craze?

If they're indistinguishable from Labor, but you don't support Labor, then your comparison makes no sense.

Although I am assuming you support the Libs.  Perhaps they're not racist enough for you so you've gone with one of the lunatic fringe parties?  Who knows.

There's your real problem right there - you assume everything.

The 'voice' is dead, cremated and buried - and it's remaining DNA will be too.... there are massively important issues in this country right now that need fixing.... just throw that kind of racist nonsense out without a thought...
