Business Council of Australia

X marks the self-serving spot of the Business Council of Australia.

In a nutshell they want:

1. to keep unemployment low enough not to impact domestic consumption but not too low so that labour costs go up
2. to keep OS competitors out of market by all means fair and foul, despite pretending to adhere to free trade agreements and anti-competitive laws
3. corporate tax rates to go to zero
4. to protect our large oligarchies from OS competitors and upstart SMEs and anti-competition commissions and the like
5. to make sure high income earners don’t pay too much personal tax

The outcome? A protected domestic economy with costs so high that we can’t export anything other than commodities, and wealth split down the middle between the haves and have-nots.

The biggest mistake the business community ever made was allowing compulsory voting to prevail in this country. It ensures that the have-nots eventually revolt against a government that tries to snow them out of their share of the pudding.

My prediction? There will be a movement to remove compulsory voting, sooner or later.
