Post-mortem on the Taxation Summit

Abstract

There are no simple answers for the left on the problem of taxation, says Peter Groenewegen, who argues a controversial stance in his review of the Tax Summit. It's possible, he suggests, that since Option C and its compensation package have been ditched, we may end up with an even less satisfactory situation.

The success of working class and community groups in opposing the government's tax reform proposals has implications for the future, says Warwick Neilly, which extend far beyond achieving an equitable tax package.
