CSIRO scientists developed a synthetic version of a compound found in the bottlebrush plant which was far superior to what was available at the time.

I am all for taxing corporates who reap money from Australia and dont contribute their fair share to our schools, hospitals etc
Taxing their cashflow and reducing tax for companies actually paying proper taxes would be great.

Small business tax cut to 20pc under new reform proposal
Small companies would pay less tax, but the largest could pay more under a new reform proposal from the independent agency tasked with helping to shape Labor's economic reform agenda.
