Am I missing something here? Time for any entity accepting funds from anyone to be a public company regulated by the Corporations Act and subject to its disclosures

I wonder if the ACCC which ordered Microsoft to offer refunds for those of us who opted back to “Classic” can call for stats of how many of us did?

It would be an insight into how many actually want AI in their lives

And this is why we need to build more data centres, and powered by coal if the coalition and One Nation get their way?

No brainer. Charge cars to use (and wear out) the roads based on weight x Kms driven

Or address gambling advertising.

Modest, that is, in billionaire terms

UK has a 40% Inheritance Tax over a modest threshold. Does Germany have anything similar?

Absolutely. And an opportunity to rid ourselves of the Diesel Fuel Rebate in the process

How come whole of life cost of this facility wasn’t required to be built in to the price of the gas? As far as I know, coal mines require a bond to fund the remediation of degraded land when closed

And if by building in the remediation cost to the price of the gas makes it uneconomic, well hello…

I guess that why we see more sunsets…

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill adds another one million dollars to the US national debt EVERY MINUTE. Since I am not living in the US, I consider this kinda funny. If I were to live in the US I'd be outraged. Source: buff.ly/qarmBxT

My thoughts exactly. Says a lot for Israeli TV coverage of Gaza (not)…

Pay tax on unrealised gains when the account is over $3m but be unable to get a tax refund for that overpayment if the account falls below $3m. Another user has suggested the “unused” loss is carried fwd (as realised capital losses are). Ppl will complain but the big picture is still correct.

Yes that would work

Greg I agree. But one issue I haven’t seen debated is if an account is over $3m one year based on unrealised gains and below $3m the next only because markets have fallen. The amounts are small as you have demonstrated, but equitably there ought to be clawback mechanism. It looks messy. Thoughts?

Keep this quiet! It’s not by “speaking to…”, but “listening to…”.

Thanks for confirming

I need to ask Greg, Is payroll tax in these numbers? It’s tends to be forgotten because it’s a state tax. But from a business perspective a tax is a tax is a tax. From an economic viewpoint, payroll tax is a tariff we impose on our own labour. Getting rid of it must be in the mix

When the Olympics came to Sydney in 2000 we were invited to the hospitality tent for the Sydney Morning Herald (our local newspaper). Chatting to a journalist about using the internet, he asked us. “Have you heard of this thing called Google?” 25 years.

A higher GST rate combined with an corresponding increase in the personal tax tax-free band would be a good place to start

The CGT discount, set as it was in inflationary times to replace the old indexing method, is far too generous.

Dutton wants to create 2 classes of Australian citizen
