Professional classes stand in way of tax on the super-rich | Phillip Inman

If the prime minister wants to make the system fairer he will need to upset the professional classes with a land value tax The professional classes act like a Praetorian Guard for the super-rich. Having acquired some of the trappings of being rich, they defend the privileges of wealth – land, property and pensions. They do this as if they – company managers, lawyers, doctors, judges, senior civil servants, architects and chartered this and thats – were the main beneficiaries. Continue reading..

Warning: Australian politicians are importing the British right’s visions of doom | Jack Jacobs

Having met Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe and Tommy Robinson, Pauline Hanson is deploying their rhetoric in a country with a very different history of immigration In a 1950 essay, the critic AA Phillips wrote of a “cultural cringe” in which insecure Australians looked to Britain for instruction. Today, some Australians are championing far-right British actors and importing their visions of doom to Australia. In June, the former Australian Liberal prime minister Tony Abbott spoke at the Alliance for R
