Abstract: This essay reviews the Gallop Government’s revenue raising and tax reform agendas, and considers why these two agendas were not integrated in a united policy framework to improve the long term structure of the state taxation regime in the State. In particular, consideration is given to why, over the first three years of the term, large annual increases in the more inefficient and distorting state taxes, especially stamp duty, were being introduced when a separate tax reform package was being developed and enacted.
