New leftwing manifesto proposes wealth, inheritance, and higher gas taxes ahead of Labor conference

A new leftwing manifesto from the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union (AMWU) proposes significant tax reforms, including a new rate for high earners, wealth and inheritance taxes, and increased revenue from gas companies. These proposals aim to fund free education, higher welfare payments, and nationalised aged care, setting a progressive backdrop for the Labor party's national conference in Adelaide.
