So the Government needs more money and one of their first actions (part of their first 100 days plan) is a stamp duty tax cut on the most expensive properties,. i.e. a tax cut for the rich. People buying a $100,000 home will now pay the same % of tax as those buying multi million dollar homes. In a country of poverty and millionares the Progressive Liberal Party needs to implement a Progressive tax system where the wealthiest in society pay their way. Combine this with the regressive import tax system (the poorest pay by far a larger % of their income than the rich) and I wonder why the PLP can use the name 'Progressive'.

400m in uncollected real property tax is a great place to start! And can we please give consideration to options that are not regressive (VAT)?
