Yes... in fact I would.
Just like I don't mind paying more in a Medicare levy for the NDIS.
I live in a community that is a major retirement area and I see how burdened the health system is.... we need lots more money and if increasing the GST is a way to do it then I think that is fair.
I thought that the medicare levy was supposed to pay for our health care. (Including for those with disabillities)
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
How much is Mr Abbott going to put the GST up by???
Sunrise have mentioned this this morning??
before election no it won't change .............
fear mongering by the team that lost....
I know there will be no GST increase.. they will be taking a good look into the tax system. There may be an increase in the many years to come if everyone asks for it.
Everyone wants all these new services... take the NDIS for example... that is going to cost us billions and we need to find out where the cash is coming from. So far it is not funded four years out.
I would happily pay and extra 5% on GST to pay for important services.
Hang on, I thought that the increase in medicare was supposed to fund the NDIS - what happened to that?
That medicare levy increase does not even nearly fund the NDIS... there is a massive multi billion dollar shortfall.
