2 Worlds Collide Podcast · #107 - Steve Baxter - Labor's Budget Will Destroy Australia's Future · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

State taxes and also their labour relations laws sort of don't exist.

So they're a lot more mobile in their labour.

You can fire people easier.

You can hire easier and you can fire easier.

So it leads to a lot better solutions in the long term.

But you get that choice, if you know what I mean.

So if we could actually, I think that more democracy closer to the people is better.

People sort of say we have too many layers of government in Australia.

Well, the Yanks have three layers of government too.

I don't understand that.

Well, the assemblies that people vote in and represent those people are actually responsible for more.

Exactly right.

Yeah.

So, for example, I think we should devolve income taxing back to the states.

Retain the ATO as that central post office that everyone sends their taxation receipts to.

And then you basically let those funds get remitted back or some level of those funds get remitted back to the states.

Yeah, in Queensland, for example, you could say, as an example, you can say in Queensland, if you move your business to the north of the Tropic of Capricorn or north of Mackay or Northwood.

Better tax breaks.

Yeah, and that top tax bracket doesn't exist.

You'd empty Sydney into North Queensland.
