Leith Van Onselen - Labor's 'equity' plan targets baby boomers

Description

Mike speaks with Leith Van Onselen, Chief Economist at the MB Fund and Co-founder of MacroBusiness, about the government’s plan for new taxes on baby boomers under the banner of “intergenerational equity.”

Van Onselen argues the policy unfairly targets older Australians for saving too much, owning property, or costing more in health and aged care, while the concept of “equity” itself remains poorly defined.
