Government considers changes to tax
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)?

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'.
