"Why not consider changes to [GST] exemptions on things like private health and private education?" Great question! Australia Institute research shows including private school fees and private health insurance in the GST would generate an extra $1.8 billion per year! #auspol

Inequality has meant Australia collects less GST. If GST had kept up with economic growth as it was intended to, it would have generated an extra $231 billion in revenue for the states and territories since it was introduced. Read the full report:

You force us to have private health or we get penalised, now you want to tax that more. Go fuck yourselves you socialist fuckholes

By all means, add GST to my health and school fees, someone’s gotta fund the government’s race to turn Australia into a fully certified banana republic.

If only Private health paid GST on the services it reimbursed Oh wait. It does, and you are trying to double dip. You pretend the medicare Levy doesnt already exist. You fail to comprehend that private health allows doctors to work part public/part private for competitive rates, and massacring the private health system would drastically reduce the quality of our medical services. At this point you should rename to the Anti-Australia Institute.

sure. tax more. tax everything. tax ever time you dumbasses tweet.

But they’re not spending our taxes wisely so why give them more to fritter away??

Offset by increased burdens on public schools and hospitals as citizens flee private health and education. Not sure this has been thought out.

How about public school parents start paying their fees? Imagine the money that would come in from that!

The only answer you socialist clowns have for anything is ' tax the rich'

Donations to political organisations like unions, Greenpeace, and Australia Institute should be charged GST
