Third, the complex issues surrounding the rock art of the Murujuga region, especially the Burrup peninsula. The art is unique, and abundant, and important to the Aboriginal people. All the Woodside people I have surveyed agree that preservation of the art should be enough to stop the developments.

How absurd are complaints against the super changes? Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000. So they earned $250,000 in a year. Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability. How much? $2,884. That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

The Nakba resulted in the displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians, many of whom sought refuge in neighbouring countries or within Palestine itself. The cultural and historical loss was profound, with many villages destroyed and erased from memory tinyurl.com/4nn4wd28

Selling super tax changes will require a steadfast advocacy from decades past
The reforms of the 80s and 90s, often sentimentalised by people who weren't there, came about through a mixture of policy intelligence and political rat cunning.
