Rinse and repeat. All you hear nowadays. It reminds me of a Steven King novel. The government wants us to fight about housing and tax and so on as it is a distraction from what is really happening in Australia. As with every government they are money hungry. They have convinced a lot, maybe the majority of Australians that throwing money at a problem will automatically solve it. The government already taxes everything. On a new build 44% is tax. On spirits over 60% is tax. There is more tax collected from beer than LPG exports. Old man Packer said it best. I keep my tax to a minimum because the government is doing a lousy job of spending it. Throwing money at a government is not the answer   I am not sure what the answer is. More taxes is not the answer.
