Well Derryn, as you say, unfortunately these emails look authentic and they ask people to confirm their personal details, such as their banking password or their PIN number.
Well, Derryn, I think it's very important that we do understand how Australia's tax system compares internationally, and this inquiry will be part of the total mix of different inputs that will help inform the Treasurer and the Government in preparation for the next Budget.
I think it's very important that we do understand all the taxes that are collected, not just nationally but State and Local Government levels as well, and across the whole range of business, property, transaction, superannuation taxes, so this is an important study, and this study will help inform discussion and input for the Budget.

I’m as staggered as you that the Labor Party would actually, as you say, having complained bitterly about the levels of taxation they themselves have complained about the point at which the top tax rate cuts in.
At midnight on June 30 or July 1 you bring the new Senators in and you have an emergency session and you pass your budget.
The first task is to try to convince the Senate, including the Labor Party, that they should pass these amendments, the legislation to give effect to these tax cuts before 30 June so they can come into effect on 1 July.

An article on the web reveals that “Melbourne radio broadcaster Derryn Hinch is battling an illness which has caused him to lose a large amount of weight.
Of course this is only a rumour, but the breakdown of the immune system, with the attendant severe infections and cancers that go with it, would certainly be consistent with his weight loss.
