Why No Sane Person Should Ever Vote Labor Again

Proving the old adage: "If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas".

The Australian Greens, through their wholly-owned subsidiary, the Australian Labor Party, can be seen celebrating their new-found opportunity for Moving Forward on the following policies:

The Australian Greens will:
22. reduce inequities in the current personal tax system by:

• abolishing the 30% Private Health Insurance Rebate in order to increase funding for public hospitals;
• taxing family trusts in the same way as companies;
• introduce a new top marginal tax rate of 50 per cent on incomes of $1 million or over.

23. introduce an estate tax with full provisions to protect the family farm, the family home and small business with a threshold of $5 million with idexation.

29. return the company tax rate to 33% and broaden the company tax base by reducing tax concessions.
