Oh damn, that was epic!
Given high levels of inflation and ratcheting interest rate rises - tax cuts are dumb. Just ask Liz Truss and her zombie government.
I'm the son of immigrants where's all this money?It annoys the f*** outta me that they won't. But they're not worried out what they can do with the extra tax income, they're preparing for the campaigning at the next election. They said they wouldn't scrap it before this election, so if they do it now it'll be ammo for the Libs next go round. You know all the usual - "They said they wouldn't stop the tax cuts. But now they're taking your money and giving it to immigrants!"
Shit outcome, but given how stupid the average Aussie voter is I kind of understand…
"We're here to represent small business", oh wait...I'm the son of immigrants where's all this money?
Labor was handed a lemon of an economy and most people will blame them for all the problems they inherited.
Well, obviously - because the liberals are the better economic managers. Everyone knows that.Labor was handed a lemon of an economy and most people will blame them for all the problems they inherited.
Heh, the Coalition has totally burnt their reputation in that area, can't argue with numbers that big.Well, obviously - because the liberals are the better economic managers. Everyone knows that.
You've met Australian voters right...? I'd like to think you're right here, but ive been disappointed before.Heh, the Coalition has totally burnt their reputation in that area, can't argue with numbers that big.
Lots of other things are also a free pay rise...and some of those can be shared with others at the same time.leave my tax cuts alone ya cunts! worry about the bandicoots or some shit instead.
its effectively a free payrise.
If your employer offered you an extra 15k to take home or 1k and some story about how some cunt you dont know now can live in the inner suburbs for cheap, I highly doubt youd take the second option.Lots of other things are also a free pay rise...and some of those can be shared with others at the same time.
"The Robinhood government" I hear it being referred to on Facebook quite often.You've met Australian voters right...? I'd like to think you're right here, but ive been disappointed before.
This is going to make me sound like a pious wanker, but I would actually take the second option. Really. I'm very fortunate enough that I'm not in the financial shit (or likely to be) and anything that combats rising inequality is a good thing. Otherwise we'd just be more like the UK or the USA where a rising tide of disenfranchised, pissed off poor people are really, really getting into populism. And nothing good is coming from that.If your employer offered you an extra 15k to take home or 1k and some story about how some cunt you dont know now can live in the inner suburbs for cheap, I highly doubt youd take the second option.

Like I said. Leave my tax cuts alone.
I think presented with the choice in reality you wouldn't be so alturistic. Source: human nature.This is going to make me sound like a pious wanker, but I would actually take the second option.

Not if any of things didn't matter to you. If you were going to make use of them, sure. The personal benefit is significant, but the reality is that most people who will be beneficiaries of that level of tax break dont make use ofthese things or have no more use for them.If they offered me $10k or improved free public health, free public transport, and free tertiary education...I'd happily forego the $10k bonus. I already live well within my means and would love to know I can catch a train for free to a sweet ride spot (I currently pay for the pleasure), crash my bike (highly likely), get a free ambulance ride (rather than pay or use insurance), get free hospital treatment in a timely manner, free dental reconstruction, and rehab..
