don't worry, the government is on the case - in 2024 they are gonna lock in a flat 30% tax rate for incomes between 45-200k, which will be a cut of up to 15% (the cut is bigger the higher the income :marx-joker: )
ALP has got to be the most cowardly piss baby opposition party in the Western capitalist world.
the fact they have actually gone BACKWARDS in that regard since supposed ALP Left 'torie basher' Albo got the leadership tells you everything you need to know about how the ALP exists to serve capital
I thought Albo used to be left too until I read this. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/11/australian-labor-party-anthony-albanese-new-south-wales-right-wing-politics
Labor factions overall are a fighting nightmare, the party is genuinely a lost cause, or has been ever since what Hawke did to it (you could argue the ALP served capital even before him I guess but I'm not versed enough in the history)
speaking of abject alp cowardice tomorrow is 20 years since tampa baby woooo
I want to send every single ALP politician to the Tree of Knowledge in 1891 to explain to the nice Shearers Union members with the very large blades their current policy positions
