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, calling Australia's tax system 'rigged' and proposing significant reforms. The manifesto advocates for higher tax rates on top earners, wealth and inheritance taxes, and increased revenue from gas companies to fund social programs. These additional revenues would support increased jobseeker payments, free education including university, and nationalized aged care services.
