You mean you people are paying tax..?

Seriously, dead weight arguments aside, the question really is whether governments should accumulate surplusses and what should they do with them.

More and better training positions to contain inflationary wage pressures, investment in infrastructure to unblock bottlenecks and improve productivity. (Those coal ships banked up off Newcastle are a national disgrace.) Renewable energy investment. Hospitals, schools, pensions. Then tax cuts.

Just MHO.
