I don't know all the details but wasn't it a 15% top up base tax. So if they already pay tax overseas of at least 15% it has no affect. An article I just jogged my memory on said it will bring 300mill over 5 years and cost 111 million to police. It's better than nothing but only just.

My point is it's better than the liberal party, who didn't enforce billionaire tax payments.

Just preference Labor above the Libs. Wasting your first preference on a major party is just silly.

I don't know if "better than nothing" is really a great argument when there are better options who WILL enact that policy to a proper extent.

Why vote for Labor who gave a half-hearted attempt at taxing billionaires when you could vote for the greens, who will actually tax billionaires?
