MysticalMachineGun posted:I feel like back in 2014 I'd already received emails from the VC that things were going to be fine, we'll work through it, blah blah but nothing so far with these announced cuts. I think the email I received from my VC was nothing like that. It was basically "suck it up leaners."

Why do they care about the tax rate when big corporations find ways to pay no loving tax anyway. Is it a smokescreen so that the public thinks they do pay tax?

Doctor Spaceman posted:Some do, some don't. Wesfarmers pays close to 1B in corporate tax each year and you can bet they'd like to lower that if they could. Is that due to the fact they don't have another country to shift profits to? Eg. They're an Australian company. I'm not being a smartass, I'm genuinely curious because I thought a company of that size would be employing all sorts of fuckery to minimise tax.

Blamestorm posted:Well it's on like 65b of revenue and they book like 3-4b of after tax profit so they aren't that bad at it. Remember as well due to dividend imputation, which virtually no other country has, the tax they have paid gives a credit to investors for their personal income rates. Thanks for the info  I'll have a read up into dividend imputation to educate myself!

And either the tenants had lied about that or were applying for backpaid rent assistance that they weren't entitled to? It's not clear as the article isn't very well written What a bizarre (and probably manufactured) article. CrazyTolradi posted:So people can only be angry about one thing at a time?

How do I convince people that drug testing welfare recipients is hosed up? It's amazing the amount of people that are for it, and I'm poo poo at arguing. Can auspol give me some talking points?Don Dongington posted:I don't know how many of you have been on a bargaining team, but it's pretty loving clear from day 1 that unless you're rocking huge densities, (>30%, which is AF rare outside of pockets of the public sector, construction, maybe maritime?) , the employer holds all of the cards. I'm in a union for the first time in my life (no union in previous workplace) and we're rocking membership somewhere like 90%+ and I cannot for the life of me think of my anyone WOULDN'T be in their union. It's the only way for the workers to not get hosed. "Yeah, nah what have unions ever fuckin' done for me" *gets paid a fair wage with 4 weeks annual leave a year and public holidays* "They're all hosed aye" We must smash the state, seize the means of production etc, etc. JBP posted:The 17% interest thing is a loving load of poo poo because when people bought that debt ... they paid off loans in record time and had a fuckload of equity available.

Frogfingers posted:The two were an overlapping clusterfuck for years, why are people upset about the consolidation other than tradition or heritage or whatever? State and Federal Libs whipped the volunteers into a frenzy before the last state election, and made it a noisy election issue. Federal Libs then passed legislation preventing an enterprise bargaining agreement for paid CFA staff from passing (by allowing volunteers to appeal/veto clauses they disagreed with) as a way of saying thanks. The State Libs were pushing a "hands off the CFA" agenda, in that they were objecting to the EBA via the volunteers association (fronted by a sycophantic Lib fuckhead). State Govt (Labor) received advice that any future EBA would be untenable due to the legislation the Federal Libs passed. State Govt says "Have what you want, have hands off the CFA, have your volunteer only organisation" and is now intending to consolidate both CFA and MFB into a single fire service called Fire Rescue Victoria.

Oh cool, someone who has profited massively from mining giving away some of the money they could never hope to spend. Why the gently caress is Twiggy Forrester so prominent outside of "has lots of money?" What's the angle here? Looking to run next election? Gunning for a knighthood? (lol, gently caress off Tones)
