The government did not speak of the roundtable before its election win, the size of which has spurred calls from economists, think tanks and some MPs for Labor to consider broader reform to tackle issues such as reducing the reliance on income taxes...

The rest of the article details going the same route the USA has followed since Nixon. Do. not. open. the. door. to this. Please, for your own sakes.
