Yes Stephen! The article has the ring of truth except for the assertion industry super, the best performing super, is channeling funds, to party electoral funds?

If only we could follow the money forensically to enable some crooks to cool their heels in jail for a time, as their own super saving and personal property, the proceeds of crime is forfeit to the state.

And we could if our own two trillion dollar plus super fund was given an offer the offshore investment vehicles could never ever match!

And that's tax free, self terminating, Government guaranteed, 30 year investment bonds! You know the rate of return to the last cent, in numbers that just do not fluctuate and for the life of these very special bonds. Never ever to be made available for recurrent spending, NEVER!

Self funded retirees would invest every cent of savings in them as would many corporations awash with surplus funds, around two trillion.

Unions are easy to beat! Just offer all government labour hire contracts to local only, employee owned, labour hire co-ops. Other contracts could stipulate only firms employing employee owned, labour hire co-ops would be able to ensure a successful tender.

Folk who own the firm are not going to tolerate a union working against their best interest to get a better return from the employer, i.e.them!

If they wanted more money they'd only need to negotiate with themselves and their own back pockets to get it!

This would eliminate some costs, by eliminating strikes and other financial blackmail tactics! Contracts that don't include unenforceable penalty clauses ought be outlawed in legislation!

Contractors that cannot be brow beaten by union crooks, will be able to compete with some vigor for the work! TBC. Alan B.

Sir Joh said the tax rate should be a fifteen flat rate 15% every tax payer paid. And given how much tax avoidance steal from our heal budget road and rail upgrades, I absolutely agree with him!

In actual cash numbers the top amount of actual tax any corporation paid last year, was around 17%! With one in three just not paying any tax!.

A flat rate tax of PAYE/PAYG 15% would harvest a fair weekly/quarterly return from all and because there'd be no exception or exclusions, write offs, write forwards etc etc. There'd be no need for any ultra complex tax compliance laws and therefore no tax compliance costs.

There'd be no money churning or wasted with the annual saga, the great tax return!

This removal of unnecessary compliance costs, would return a average 7% to the bottom line and therefore enable smaller government with fewer public servants.

. The less well off, could be protected by simply increasing the tax threshold, increasing family endowments and pensions etc!

A very wise man who said, "At some point complexity always becomes fraud" Quote, unquote.
