“I need the parliament of this country unequivocally to stand up and say they are on the side of young people … because young people do not believe that you’re on their side.” #BillKelty #Auspol

#BillKelty testifying to Senate Committee on #CGT Discount.

He's asked about #ACTU involvement in CGT reforms in 1999 & 1985.

1) 1999 Changes was all #JohnHoward Govt;
ACTU had ZERO involvement

2) Prior to 1985.
Capital Gains were NOT taxed in AUS
#PaulKeating proposed CGT.
ACTU agreed

#AUSPOL

#BillKelty is spot on. If parties don’t embrace tax reform, younger generations will turn to the hard right.

Kelty urges #Labor to do more than tinker with #CapitalGainsTax to make system fairer to young working Australians.
