Tax reform
If Treasurer Jim Chalmers is serious about tax reform, he will finish the job started by Peter Costello 25 years ago and do away with state-based payroll tax, as was initially promised with the introduction of the GST. Payroll tax is a tax on employment and the silent killer of many small and medium enterprises.

Do better
It is a duty of care for all our elected representatives to manage the country’s affairs so that everyone receives essential goods and services. So many living in poverty is a massive failure of government but it is also a government choice. Our political belief system prefers factions to facts and actions.

What Jewish lobby?
I was disappointed to read Denis Muller’s use of the term “Jewish lobby” in the article regarding the ABC v Lattouf case. While further into the article he details the specific groups who coordinated the attacks against Lattouf, to use a term like the Jewish lobby – to my mind – implies that all Jews are part of a concerted group to manipulate or control the media.
