In response to Mandy’s advertisement (Echo, 31 May), the Labor Party seems determined to implement its tax cuts for the rich. Surely this will be a hugely inflationary policy.

I’m afraid this indicates that the Labor Party is no longer the party of the common people but that the corporate world has the party by the balls quite as much as the other major party.
