Whitlam posted:I don't have HECS/HELP debt so I should definitely look into this is what I'm hearing. Thank you THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE SPEAK TO SOMEONE WITH ACTUAL QUALIFICATIONS salary sacrifice is cool if you can afford it because concessional (pre-tax) contributions are taxed at the low rate of 15% if you earn under 250k per year, 30% if you earn over. however there is a cap to these contributions after which you’re taxed at your marginal rate as well as an additional charge - in other words, if you contribute above the cap, you pay the tax you would have paid anyway, eat an additional charge, and can’t access that money because it’s locked away in super. the cap for this financial year and the foreseeable future until government fucks with it is $25,000 per year. there are also some weird carry-forward clauses that i don’t understand and don’t mess with but you might be smarter than me so check them out. the trick is that both salary sacrifice AND employer contributions count towards the cap. you need to calculate your salary sacrifice such that it plus your employer contributions (minimum 9.5% of income but may be higher, eg in the public sector in particular) do not exceed $25,000 in a given financial year. if your pay increases for any reason (promotion, enterprise agreement, acting arrangements etc) that will affect your employer contribution and you may need to change your sacrifice accordingly to avoid going over the cap. hopefully that makes sense but i’m only some idiot on something awful so seek advice from qualified professionals. salary sacrificing isn’t hard but there are some pitfalls to look out for.

“details” don’t mean “here’s what the policy is intended to do”, it means “what is going to be in legislation line by line and does it introduce new loopholes or perverse incentives” like i think this announcement is a poor showing from the greens but the hysteria in this thread reminds me of the guardian comments section. the greens haven’t declared sight unseen support for a labor policy announced days ago so they’re literally the liberal party now? someone help me understand this please

i’m also wondering what some people in this topic think about what can be done politically; with labor captured by the right and the greens apparently entirely compromised by entryists, is there literally any avenue for progress politically or is our only option a revolution

asio posted:I have absolutely no idea how to make Israel relevant to Australian immigration. Unless you mean the fact that having an open border with Russian facists who were Jewish accelerated Israel's descent into apartheid? i mean the point seems pretty straightforward; the british opening the borders of the mandate of palestine to all jews resulted in an influx of jewish immigrants and subsequent disenfranchisement and displacement of the palestinian population i’m not going to debate the accuracy or relevance of said point to the discussion of open borders because i don’t give a poo poo and amethyst is using his typical style, but this isn’t that complex

She is accused of standing in front of another Greens representative at a media doorstop so she wouldn’t appear on TV, of passive aggression, of ‘unfriending’ a party member on Facebook and in typical Greens-speak, of projecting, triggering and making the Darebin branch an unsafe space.”

correct, abbott will throw his biggest tantrum yet and nothing of consequence will happen abbott has zero allies on the frontbench. either they’re wet libs and therefore wouldn’t support him in the first place (bishop, pyne) or they have their own ambitions that abbott is only a hindrance to (morrison, dutton). abbott is done as a political force. quote this post when he topples turnbull a fortnight from now to own me BBJoey fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Mar 25, 2018 |
