The Australian Council of Trade Unions wants to impose death taxes on all Australians?

Trade unions?

Have they branched out ?

Is the Australian Tax Office a member of trade unions?

You do understand the ATO only implements the laws passed by parliament?

There is another possibility....sheer ignorance.

Quote:

The question remains however. What the hell are trade unions doing calling for death tax?

They can call for what they like, just like any other person or organisation can. That okay but you?

Quote:

Or, duh, have trade unions become amalgamated with parliament and we weren't informed?

No, but it is well known and acknowledged that the Unions are part of ALP structure, and as such, have a capacity to contribute at ALP annual Meetings. "Death taxes" are not part of ALP Policy and I doubt they ever will be.

We had them years ago, it was seen as a rip off (as Grappler has so simply explained) and it was terminated.

It seems we 'inherited' the notion of death taxes from our Pommie colonial days, and it was not until Qld, then led by Joe the Jerk, began a rollback of it until it was ultimately turfed in the early 1980's.

Funnily enough, it was Morrison who first ruminated about a reintroduction in 2015.

Doubt Aussies will take a bar of the ACTU sticking its oar in

Next: Morrison floated it. Didn't have time to implement it. Labor picks it up. It's what they do. One stinking sewer of a party pretending to be two opposing parties

How about ACTU steps beyond its bounds some more and tells Aussies that its going to put a halt to politicians' perks and pensions and also reduce their salaries to the basic wage?

nice. I'll buy the ACTU a latte if they start using their non-too-impressive clout for good

until then, tell the ACTU to shut its trap

Why...they are an integral part of the Labor Party...and its structure. All quite open....no secret. Unlike the big end of town supporters of the Libs who hide in the shadows and behind curtains. You will see as soon as we get a Federal ICAC.

Hi Aussie,

tell us about his death tax policy during the election campaign?

What more evidence do we need that the trade unions are run by communists?

Actually Bobby, they are "Democratic Socialists" to be precise. Wink

Read between the lines of Aussie's post and it seems like that
no matter who wins we'll have death taxes.

FMD Bobby...can't you read????? ALP Policy is set at their annual meetings. Their last was in December 2018. No death tax became part of ALP Policy, so ....NO.....it will not emerge before the next election.

Scare mongering crap, Bobby. How desperate are you Libs these days? Huh...just dream up any old demon and say that the ALP will support it.

Next you'll be telling us that the ALP want to see people drowning at sea with an armada of boats heading our way.

Oh...hang on...that tale is already being told.
