The question is who to tax and I will argue that the rich and capital are capable of paying much more in taxes to fund a fair and equitable society in Australia but that a better way of redistributing income is for workers to win higher real wages. To hear my discussion of stopping the cuts and taxing the rich come along to the Solidarity Forum at 12.30 pm on Thursday 23 April in room 19.2040 at the University of Wollongong.

If so, why aren’t their actions being investigated with a view to prosecution?
