Taxation; Aust has a vertical fiscal imbalance; in the top 5 pronounced VFI's in the world: states & territories collect only 18% of all govt revenues yet have 50% of govt expenditure.

Those politicians have created massive disparities between rich & poor in Australia. We obviously have more than enough existing & natural resources wealth for all adults to be working or receive international standards in basic income, & to be housed. Govt & external debt is massive, & increasing, & created by liberal & labor progressively since 2nd world war. No excuses for the deaths, poverty, & homelessness that has occurred in this country over the past century to today. Study our economic vision for Australia, & view it as definite economic strategies to eradicate govt & external debt & improve income living standards for all citizens.
