 IA:  Why the banks will be the biggest winners of corporate tax reform

14 Apr 2018
 Q&A last night:  It was all about wealth.  All panellists are from high income backgrounds.  An intersting point was spot on, is the gender card, which was played by Judith Sloan (if I am correct, she is a staff from NewsCorp who has setup News Poll 'when poles are apart' and/or 'Truth goes to die').  At first, she was interrupted by the male panellist from AI.  But, then ...
 
  Another is dividend imputation, a rather technical term in the investment industry, which has been played by treasurer Scott Morrison to mislead Labor's policy. Attached above is media release from Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen, one of the panellists on the show.
