Sky News host Chris Kenny says Australia “desperately” needs a tax reform shake-up.

“We desperately need a shake up because we have a messy taxation and federation system, Canberra raises most of the money while the states spend most of it,” he said. “But the states are often a big problem here, they kinda like that situation where the nasty tax collection is done by Canberra but they get to be the good guys who spend it.

“And we always have to be wary of governments raising more money rather than taking the tough decisions to make sure they waste less.” The NSW Coalition government is conducting a study to come up with some meaningful tax reform. “We are told it will work closely with the Victorian Labor government to settle on detailed proposals next year,” Mr Kenny said.

The issue isn’t the amount we pay it’s just the hidden break down of tax. Other than the pay as you earn system you really can’t see how much per dollar really goes into tax

Just dont remove Franking credits though......clearly

We don’t have an income issue, we have an expenditure issue.

No one has the political backbone to do this.

Kenny is insignificant.
