%T Shrink taxation by shrinking government! %A Robert Carling %I Centre for Independent Studies %D 2013 %K Policy, %K Local government %U https://apo.org.au/node/35175 %X This paper explores the link between tax reform and smaller government. Executive summary The TARGET30 campaign by The Centre for Independent Studies advocates reducing the size of general government in Australia (defined as total federal, state and local government expenses) from 35% of GDP to no more than 30% over the next 10 years.
