7:00pm 30th Jul 2015 :: On The Money

On the show this week:

Premiers and Treasurers met with Prime Minister Tony Abbott in a special Leader’s Summit to discuss one of the toughest issues for any government: taxes. A rise in the GST was on the agenda, but not all Premiers can agree on the change, and economists are saying other revenue raising measures should also have been on the table such as addressing super tax concessions, negative gearing, capital gains and property taxes. On the Money takes an in depth look at Australia’s revenue crisis and the need for tax reform.
