“For example, the Australia Institute suggests the government could wind back some of its subsidies to private schools, saving up to $21 billion a year. Or, it could reduce superannuation tax breaks for high income earners, giving it back $65 billion in forgone revenue.

The government could also abolish the luxury car tax exemption for big utes, saving $250 million a year for vehicles which impose substantial costs on society including higher carbon emissions, road damage and safety risks.”

And i thought Trump lived in a dream world!

the subsidies to private schools thing is always brought up and while I agree more money into public education is good thing, I’m not sure just turning off all funding into the private system is the answer either.

like all things, it’s balancing act.
