All the Liberals have to do is not to go ahead with the slashing of company tax..

Or they could take a giant step and make the global businesses here start paying their share of tax instead of shipping the profit overseas to shelf companies in tax havens

But that would upset the Big End of town..why do that when you can kick the little guy's heads in

Like labor did when they spent all those years in power, oh wait ..............

Don't point fingers at the liberals when your precious labor did absolutely fkk all about the problem when they were in power and will do in the future as well.

actually, it was designed by Ross Garnaut ....... and in 15 yrs of coalition govt. since it hasn't changed it?
despite the govt. being told the original PRRT was designed for specifically for oil, not gas.

I guess Craig Emerson is just bignoting himself then.

"Mr Emerson – who designed the petroleum resource rent tax with economist Ross Garnaut in the Hawke government – believes particular scrutiny should be given to extra concessions won by the oil and gas sector since the tax was first imposed on offshore projects in the mid-1980s."

And don't forget the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd Government. They couldn't even do a reasonable job of RSPT.

Treasurer threatens tax hike to fund NDIS
February 15, 2017
News.com.au

Treasurer Scott Morrison has threatened to increase taxes if a raft of welfare cuts worth billions of dollars are blocked by the Senate. Huh

The government expected to generate $5.6 billion in savings through its welfare omnibus bill - which appears certain to fail - earmarking $1.6 billion for childcare fee subsidies and the remaining $4 billion for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

"If you don't fund it (the NDIS) by getting welfare under control, you've got two other options, increase taxes or increase debt," Mr Morrison told News Corp.

Labor, the Greens, the Nick Xenophon Team and Jacqui Lambie have all signalled they will reject the bill, leaving only One Nation in favour.

The treasurer said price fluctuations meant the government could not rely on a spike in iron ore revenues to bankroll spending and achieve structural change.

"If the parliament is going to insist that the government spend more and more money, particularly on welfare, then someone has to pay for that." he told Sky News Business on Tuesday.

There were only two options to do so, and finding savings was the government's first preference.

"But if you don't do that, you've either got to have higher debt - which is a tax on your children - or you have to do it with other revenue measures.

Hi sir Crook,
notice the Govt. never talks about reducing public service wages?

They can't take the public servants off the gravy train but they
can tax all the rest of us or slug welfare recipients.

You mean like the refundability on losses?

I can see any government doing that. Wink
