As someone who resides/bides time waiting for a chance to escape from/suffers in Adelaide, I'm jealous that I can't even enter into "Whose city is better" arguments. Even I wouldn't believe me. On the plus side I have this page to myself to list all the good things about Adelaide.

Laserface posted:Hahahaha "just gently caress her guts out with your big cock" No doubt it as crass as anything and there's some things you should not say anywhere near a microphone but getting busy is advice you get all the time from obs, mid-wives, your friends etc. when you are trying to bring on a birth. In particular when your wife is well overdue. If he had said "just fill her guts up with a big spoon of castor oil" (another one you hear) I doubt anyone would have really batted an eye lid. It seems it's the language that people are getting outraged by and some manufactured indignation that this is some assault against women. I've given the same "have sex" advice jokingly to my friends as well and I've been given it as well. Not like that though. That's definitely the footy coming out in him. I'd say he should be smart enough to know what tone to use near a microphone, but obviously he's not.

Even if there was an inquiry, what could it possibly recommend? China will source its iron ore from where ever it can get it cheapest and is quite capable of manipulating the global economy to do so. Our currency is considered 'exotic' and we are in the G 20. Brazil has a marginally higher GDP but a much less stable economy it isn't beyond the bounds of possibility for the Chinese to force the Brazilian 'real' lower to make them a preferred trading partner.

quote:“It just won’t work the way it has been announced. Employers will offer other things instead of paid parental leave, like a return-to-work bonus, so their employees continue to benefit. And unions will obviously bargain for those kind of things and for pay increases rather than additional paid parental leave. Isn't there some very large union that's been stuck in negotiations for almost a year, and who is unlikely to get new conditions without giving up pay?

Depending on what they are the conditions are generally better for the employees in the long run Also I love that they are doubling down on the "Rorter" thing, there are already many businesses that structure their PPL as a return to work bonus (My other half just signed a contract with this in it) so they are kidding if this is not going to happen. It's a rort in the same way as the 20% private use thing for novated leases is a rort, in that it's completely legal and is in no way against the spirit of the law.

I can somewhat understand the argument that companies with no physical presence in Australia shouldn't be subject to Australian tax, but if you have taxis driving all over Australian roads I don't know how you could seriously claim that you're not operating in Australia.

quote:For other businesses, the GST registration turnover threshold is $75,000. For taxi drivers, including chauffeur driven limousines and hire cars, there is no registration turnover threshold. This means that anyone who carries on an enterprise of driving a taxi, chauffeur driven limousine or hire car, must register for GST, unless they are an employee for pay as you go withholding (PAYG withholding) purposes. The government chose to apply compulsory registration of taxi drivers for several reasons including:

Yep, basically they saw that the entire taxi industry was set up as a contractor-per-car system so they made an exception so that the didn't miss an entire service industry. Most other heavily independent contractor based industries would expect to earn more than 75k gross from their jobs so didn't need an exception.

The ATO does not care if your money is legal or illegal, they are still entitiled to their cut. There have been cases of people filing for and receiving deductions for the financial losses incurred by drug busts.

The ATO only concerns itself with collecting tax, not the legality of the business. I'm pretty sure drug dealers require an ABN and collect GST.

When it costs $176,000 per centimetre to extend a swimming pool, it’s just as well this one in the Northern Territory only needs another half metre. Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey visited Darwin today to announce his government will pay half the $8.8 million needed to extend Darwin’s Parap Pool to a competition-standard 50m. The NT government will pay the rest. “I’m very pleased to be here ... to make a 50-metre pool 50 metres,” Mr Hockey told reporters. “It’s kind of extraordinary that it’s 49.5 metres, but of course being a capital city you should have an Olympic-approved pool, and that means your swimmers have the chance to compete with the rest of the world.” The pool will boost tourism and could host future swimming tournaments, he said.

Uber doesn't deserve to get hosed in Australia. It's too late for the Taxi lobbyists to stop it, I mean Lyft is launching here pretty soon so the rideshare economy will continue to grow. Less cars on the roads, taxi industry has to actually fight for what it has. Imho the only thing that needs to be fixed is Ubers lovely management practices and specialised vehicle coverage. Otherwise it's mostly okay. "Mostly."

I don't really give a gently caress about the taxi industry for the most part, but if access cabs become difficult for the taxi industry to run, I doubt ridesharing companies can pick up the slack, which would make life quite difficult for people in wheelchairs.
