Tom Elliott clashes with union boss over proposed tax reform aimed at ‘solving’ housing crisis

Tom Elliott has questioned the practicality of a new tax proposal from the CFMEU that would fund the rapid construction of social and affordable housing.

The CFMEU wants the government to implement a super profits tax.

“I am completely for trying to do something to fix the housing crisis, but this isn’t the answer,” the 3AW Drive host said on Tuesday.
