Posted by Senator Steve Fielding on May 02 2010 | 4 Comments | Read more »
The Henry Tax Review has been released and the Rudd Government has formed its response. So what good things has the government done for the average Australian family? Not a great deal.
I know it’s a brash statement but when you think about it, the Henry Review is some 800 pages long, looking at things like housing affordability, childcare and family assistance. These are the things which families really care about because they are the biggest items which chew into the family budget and affect whether they have any spare cash or not.

About Steve Fielding
Steve Fielding knows a lot about families – he grew up in a family of 16 children and is a proud family man himself. He has been married to Susan for 22 years and they have three children: James, 21, Campbell, 19 and Gabrielle, 15. Steve and Sue live in Wantirna South, an outer suburb of Melbourne.
Steve, who is 49, was born in Reservoir in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. As a child growing up he thought his family was the typical Aussie family – however Steve now realises that ‘typical’ is not the best way to describe the Fielding family.
