Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires worldwide—including Australians Dick Smith, Graham Marr, and Richard Barnes—have signed an open letter urging governments to tax extreme wealth more heavily. Ahead of Davos, they argue that concentrated wealth undermines democracy, deepens inequality, and worsens the climate crisis.
In Australia, the 48 billionaires hold more wealth than the bottom 40% (~11 million people). Proposals include a 5% wealth tax (potentially raising $17 billion/year for childcare, housing, and healthcare), higher taxes on the top 1%, tighter capital gains rules, and an inheritance tax.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers is open to capital gains adjustments but has ruled out inheritance tax for now. These voices from the ultra-wealthy strengthen the case for mandatory, systemic progressive reform to ensure fair contribution and fund essential public goods.

Morning, all,

"this would be like Hitler telling his Generals he wanted to annex Poundland..." *

Derek & Clive got it wrong when they debated the worst job they ever had - it must surely be being the back-stage prompt for one of President Donald J. Tantrump's speeches.

* For Americans, Poundland is UK's version of Dollar Store; Iceland is a supermarket chain dealing in frozen food.

Trump speaking at Davos. Michael Spicer's "The Room Next Door" tries to steer the President through the event, and fails. Hilarious.

I recognise that simply not listening to Trump is an eminently sensible option. But if we want to listen, the incredible Mr Spicer provides us with the comedic shielding that lets us go through it and come out unharmed. Well done, Michael.
