The News
The Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union has released a manifesto ahead of the Labor Party's national conference, proposing new taxes on high incomes, wealth, and inheritance, as well as increased revenue from gas companies. The union describes the tax system as 'rigged' and argues that extra revenue could fund higher jobseeker payments, free education, and nationalised aged care. The proposals are intended to advance a working-class agenda.
