http://www.ksbw.com/article/seaside-high-teacher-accidentally-fires-gun-in-class/19426017 High School teacher teaching gun safety accidentally shoots roof and injures student with ricochet. This is artfully timed. Also wouldn't estate taxes be a non ideological position because it works against wealth inequality which causes economic problems? Obviously you'd need enforcement/taxation/gifting laws to make sure it isn't evaded but yeah.

I'd argue that older people outright giving their money away to the younger generation is probably better than inheritance - a large sum of money would have far more utility to the average 25 year old than the average 45 year old (i.e. the 25 year old would spend it). Plus there's that old saying about how the first generation starts the family business/money earning engine, the second consolidates it and the third squanders it.

In Victoria the case used to push this narrative is Blackmores Wagyu Beef Farm. Basically a couple bought a property that was enclosed on three sides by a beef farm. They were quite happily living there for 5 years, then the farmer radically changed his practices which brought heavy amenity impacts to the couple. They complained to the council, and the council found the use of the farmland had changed to the point where planning permission was required. A permit was denied on the grounds of amenity, and the farmer and the farmers federation chucked one of the biggest tantrums you’ll ever see, resulting in Victoria committing to a reform program which is still ongoing.

There are some legitimate parts of the right to farm argument, but some of it boils down to “I should be able to blight other people’s land without compensation or recourse”

Solemn Sloth posted:There are some legitimate parts of the right to farm argument, but some of it boils down to “I should be able to blight other people’s land without compensation or recourse” Yeah, I'm sure there's some element of that, but I imagine moving next door to a farm is like moving next door to a live music venue or pub. You know it's there, it shouldn't be a surprise that at certain times of the day you're very aware you live near a live music venue. It's one thing to complain that they've started intensive agricultural practices when they previously had three cows in a field, another when the tractor starts at 5am as it does normally and the new neighbours complain. I'd also say it's not necessarily a good thing for the environment to build houses on productive farming land. Not that farms are particulary good for the environment, either, but houses are worse. It's almost like the developers should take some responsibility for this before they sell them on...

On the one hand a major change in how a piece of farmland is being used should need planning permission and have its impact taken into account. On the other hand use of farmland changing over time is a fact of farming, so it's silly to move next to a farm and then complain that it acts like a farm does. Similar to people who move next door to airports because the land is cheap and then complain about the noise of planes when some extra flights start coming in.

froglet posted:To elaborate on this - if you were on 50k + super and slaary sacrificed 5k, some employers recalculate your super as if you were on 45k. Definitely keep an eye out for this. When I was looking into salary sacrificing that was one of the points I saw come up a lot. Make sure your agreement with your employer specifically has them paying super on your current salary, not your post-sacrifice salary.

There’s plenty of actually really bad days planning problems relating to farming fwiw Last year Victoria introduced a fast track process for subdivision of land in rural areas, which doesn’t allow the council to consider agricultural value or use of the property or adjoining lots. Once it gets subdivided you can chuck a house on it without permit if the lot is over a certain size threshold (40 hectare from memory?) but given you don’t need a planning permit you can site it wherever you want on the lot, for example right near the boundary adjoining a farm, and then start making nuisance complaints about farm operations affecting your amenity. Not only does it add to the fragmentation of arable land (which is already hosed in areas like Gippsland due to historical soldier farms), but it brings massive encroachment problems too.

While we're on farming problems - WA seems to have the opposite problem to Gippsland, where consolidation is causing problems. What used to be 4-12 farms 30-40 years ago are now one big farm owned usually by the one family (though I assume there are corporate farms). Great for the farmer owning the land, I assume they make a huge amount of money, but my god do they complain about the lack of services in their region. You can't buy up all the farms, hire a bunch of backpackers then complain about the social isolation because nobody stays and how there aren't any services. Of course you're socially isolated and missing out on services, you've ensured that by buying out all the farms and drastically reducing the population density by creating your little empire! Back to cash refunds: Labor's plan to abolish cash refunds reopens debate about retirees' wealth abc.net.au posted:Labor's plan to abolish cash refunds for some shareholders has reopened the debate about how much government support retirees deserve. I can't say I have much sympathy for people in this situation. Justifying it as the difference between "the occasional eye fillet and birthday present" and going without is disingenuous.

Howard and the Rudd/Gillard govts handed you the keys on a silver platter and you still hosed it up. Taking expensive annual holidays I expect. The youth eat avocados, the boomers spend 5-10 grand a year on flights to Europe and/or cruises.
