Join us for a thought-provoking event, Reframing the Tax Reform Debate – Who Lifts and Who Leans, Really?, presented by Joe Roach. Joe has returned to Tasmania after a thirty year career in the Australian public service - including in senior roles in Defence and Finance. He has seen government decision-making up close under both Coalition and Labor governments - being in the Cabinet room is a unique experience - but one he cannot share - unfortunately.
Since leaving the public service in 2014, Joe has been involved in a private sector startup, but has remained an active voice in public policy discourse, contributing to the work of the Productivity Commission and the Grattan Institute on inter-generational equity issues. While he shares many of the general concerns raised by Ken Henry and Saul Eslake, the numbers matter. Joe will challenge conventional narratives around tax reform and make a case for a different way forward.
Joe is also offering the chance to win a $200 gift voucher for anyone who attends and takes up his challenge on the night - you will have to attend on the night to have a chance to collect!
