Saw MT photo op with his grandkid and suddenly feel the historical precedent for him is Crassus making his way to Carrhae. 62-yo rich dude with maximum hubris about to be handed a shellacking by underestimated adversary.

As well as much of Turnbull's personal popularity vis-a-vis Abbott being sourced from younger voters. The same class of voters he is alienating every time he professes his undying love for negative gearing.

Okay somebody tell me if I'm wrong/crazy regarding the business tax cuts. For the local small-then medium-then any businessperson, because of dividend imputation/personal services attribution/div 7A (*chortle*), the local businessperson will pay a top up rate to hit the proper (higher) marginal rate. Because the individual brackets as largely unchanged, tax paid by the local entrepreneur will be largely unchanged.* For the multinational not in the sights of *yeah I know about using trusts to split income

Actually releasing good economic policies that have been stolen by the Libs has been great for the ALP. It's framed the debate in such a way that the Libs are at a natural disadvantage because it's not about economic management anymore, it's about fairness.

It's kind of hard to quantify the cost of the corporate tax cuts given how few of them pay the right amount now.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Does literally anyone care about signage? We have mandatory voting, it's not as if we need to be hyped for the election. Is it just for name recognition? To an extent, it gives the impression of legitimacy. It's hard for a challenger to knock off an incumbent if nobody knows who they are.

Cartoon posted:Amalgamations are ridiculous. Counterpoint: councils routinely fail to extract a proper return for the community (in the form of infrastructure or otherwise) from developers because they don't have the scale/resources to negotiate commercial terms. You can count on one hand the councils that have these resources. Larger councils somewhat addresses this.

ScreamingLlama posted:Like in the movie, it could be strongly argued that the compulsory acquisitions did not occur 'on just terms' due to the significant hardships those evicted may face as a result of the Westconnex project. IANAL though. NSW has a Just Terms Act which sets out the matters to be taken into consideration when determining "just terms" (s55). If you were unhappy with the amount you could appeal to the Land & Environment Court as set out in that Act. If you were unhappy with the process you could conceivably run all sorts of administrative law arguments to try and delay the decision and have it remade properly, which may or may not net you any more money. Given the despicable machinations of the Baird government you may even have some success with this, although the courts are (sometimes) reluctant to exercise this power. I'm assuming you could do this because I didn't see a privative clause in the Act and I'm in my phone and I cbf looking. I am not an environmental lawyer though.
