Prime Minister Tony Abbott says it will be up to the Australian people to decide the future of the Australian tax system. Treasurer Joe Hockey has said every element of the tax system was on the table as part of the Re:think discussion paper, released today. Mr Abbott said he hoped the paper would start a conversation about Australia's tax reform. But he said any changes would need broad support. "It's now up to the Australian people to decide where we collectively as a nation want to go," he told reporters at Cressy this morning. "As far as I'm concerned, I want taxes to be lower, simpler and fairer." The Prime Minister is touring Northern Tasmania today on the final day of the Pollie Pedal. MORE IN TOMORROW'S EXAMINER
