The solid increase in the ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rating (now 116.6, up from 105.3 pre-Turnbull) and Roy Morgan Business Confidence (119.3 in October 2015, up from 102.6 in August) since Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister in mid-September gives him the political capital to make the tough decisions now to ensure Australia’s future prosperity. The recent discussion about the taxation system – including increasing the GST from 10 per cent to 15 per cent, and possibly broadening the GST base, is needed because too many people and companies do not pay their fair share of tax. Broadening the GST base in combination with tax reform will help tackle Australia’s booming "cash economy" and allow the Federal Government to implement extensive industrial relations reform. Australians who want to prosper will not complain, as more jobs will be available for everyone.
