I was under the impression that licencing and rego fees were initially introduced to fund road repairs and projects which is yet another thing companies can claim as a tax dodge that individuals can't.

I watched a program on SBS called Struggle Street Conversation it was directly after the last episode of Struggle Street. On the panel they had an economist. He made a point that unemployed are actually doing us a big favor.
If they all became employed, then the economy would grow and the risk of overheating. This puts pressure on the Reserve Bank to raise interest rates and the majority would suffer. So unemployed people are useful he said.

Unemployed also keep the price of labour down.

I didn’t see that episode but correct 0% unemployment present a whole lot of other issues.

Anyone who legally avoids paying any more than they have to is not breaking any of the huge amount of the laws made by our mostly worthless politicians. What we could really do without is so many obviously incompetent big spending law makers and some fairness in the system.
And a darn sight less off giving money away to those individuals (and some countries via foreign aid) who have never contributed and are never likely to. Among those I do not include the many disabled etc.
