Allegra Spender reopens the tax debate – but the real divide is wealth, not generations
Australia’s tax debate often frames reform as a struggle between younger and older generations. But the real divide lies between wage earners and those who derive growing advantage from assets, wealth and capital income.

Have any AUS politicians expressed concern re the attempted bombing of the #InvasionDay rally in Boorloo (Perth) on 26Jan?! Condemned the act? Declared love or solidarity with Indigenous people?
