Oh. Let's not have progressive taxation?
No #MiningTax, no #CarbonTax, no #MillionaireSuperTax?
Let's bleed the PAYG punters dry instead and keep using unlawful and not-fit-for-purpose ways of kicking leaners on benefit payments?

#MineralsCouncil campaign against the bill expects to spend $20m-$24m in 2023-24. That would make its campaign against the closing loopholes bill on par with the amount it spent advertising for the Rudd government to ditch the #miningtax.
