Aust. tax abolition call
NZPA-AAP Canberra The Federal Opposition Leader, Mr John Howard, has called for an immediate wages freeze, the abolition of “anti-investment” taxes and relaxation of foreign investment restrictions to deal with Australia’s economic crisis. Mr Howard outlined the
austere policy mix in a nationally-broadcast reply last evening to the Prime Minister, Mr Hawke’s, Address to the Nation last Wednesday. Reiterating the Opposition's previously-announced prescription for restraint, Mr Howard said the Government
should immediately: • Recall Parliament for a mini-budget solely devoted to cutting Government spending and waste; • Withdraw all support for the 3 per cent productivity/ superannuation deal; • Effectively seek a wages pause for the rest of the year
