Do you think the problem with not reviewing the tax structure is related to the Gov mantra that no one should be any worse off as a result of a change? If not that what is causing policy inaction?

I am not sure what the "mantras" or fears are - other than if you get the politics wrong then proposed or actual tax changes can lose an election. Perhaps the biggest issue is the unwillingness of politicians to effectively engage the whole community in the process of tax reform - and allow the "common good" outcome to evolve.

Yes that's how it should be done but it seems the press come out with a negative view because negative news sells and positive changes are thwarted.
