 Good morning, everyone. A federal government discussion paper has raise the prospect1 of cutting the commonwealth2's taxation3 base to allow states and territories to raise more of their own tax revenue. The coalition4 has released its federation5 green paper, sections of which had been leaked in recent days. The discussion paper says an option to make the state and territory funding system fairer would be to reduce the personal income tax rights that the commonwealth claims. This would open up the states and territories to raise their tax rights to fill the gap. 

 
 
An opinion poll commissioned by the Construction Union on Australia's free trade deal with China shows voters in seven marginal seats strongly opposed key aspects of the agreement. The trade pact6 includes the ability for Chinese investors7 in major infrastructure8 projects to bring in Chinese workers without advertising9 locally. It also gives Chinese firms some rights to sue Australian governments for policy changes. More than 90 percent of people surveyed opposed the agreement if those parts were included.
