Manufacturing union says Australia's tax system is 'rigged' in bold manifesto ahead of Labor conference
The Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union (AMWU) has released a leftwing manifesto ahead of Labor's national conference, arguing that Australia's tax system is rigged against working people. The manifesto calls for higher tax rates on top earners, new wealth and inheritance taxes, and increased revenue from gas companies to fund social programs. The union proposes using this additional revenue to raise jobseeker payments, provide free education and university, and nationalize aged care services.
