ATO outsourcing has one winner: corporations making millions.
Everyone else loses. Underpaid workers, taxpayers, tax agents, and a fair system.
Public money up, inequality up. Enough! #FairGoAustralia #Auspol #ATO

I think what needs to be noted is The Liberal–National Coalition introduced and significantly expanded APS outsourcing, including ATO call centres.
Labor is currently trying to wind it back, but inherited long-term contracts and deeply entrenched structures.

"former staff say training is “woeful”, turnover is 125% a year and bonuses can be wiped out for tiny mistakes.
Many quit within weeks. Vulnerable taxpayers end up stuck with inexperienced staff because the system is built on churn & speed, not quality."
Bonuses wiped for tiny mistakes? What a joke!

These outsourced to private companies, Probe, Concentrix and Serco are under $316m in contracts! Yet workers report low (poverty level) pay, poor training & extreme pressure. ALL FOR A PROFIT - SHAME ON YOU!

Imagine if that $3 trillion went into public policy. Greater infrastructure, tech and innovation, health and education. Australia could boost productivity, create jobs, and become globally competitive instead of deepening inherited privilege.

Without an inheritance tax, Australia will miss out on over $3 trillion in the next 25 years. This money could fund desperate housing, education, and health, roads, rail etc.
Instead, it’ll sit in private estates, widening the gap between rich and poor.

What is Andre Dillion doing about racism in AFL?? "We need more people to takle the issue" ok, so....making Hosch redundant is a ridiculous step backwards! Right?!
