Tony Abbott has weighed into the tax reform debate, saying his prime ministerial successor faces the problem of how to deal with a no-one-can-be-worse-off mindset.
"As a potential reformer, Malcolm Turnbull has the advantage of being relatively unbound by previous commitments," Mr Abbott wrote in The Spectator.
In a reference to the GST, he said: "Changing the tax burden from income to spending makes sense but only if overall taxes become lower, simpler and fairer."
