The Liberal Government of PM Turnbull is making a mess of managing our economy. Their solution is the wrong one, of cutting or not funding services in health, education, research etc. Not funding Gonski and CSIRO are examples.

While ordinary people pay tax to the government on a weekly pay basis - plus GST, fuel excise etc - there are many others who do not pay any tax or resort to dodgy tax avoidance or minimisation. As more revenue is required, these rorts can't continue.

The Turnbull-Joyce Coalition are not pursuing their wealthy mates. Overseas companies pay no tax on revenue produced in Australia. Local companies also use dubious tax avoidance.

Family trusts, excessive negative gearing and superannuation excesses are not being curbed sufficiently by the Liberal Party, looking after themselves and their mates.

The Liberal Party exists to keep the workers and their families down while protecting their own wealth.
