The Gatwick was not the reason people stopped going to St.Kilda. They stopped going to St.Kilda because it went from being a vibrant, low rent, arts community with lots of live music venues to a piss boring corporate cafe strip with dogshit dull bars that charge too much. Money killed St.Kilda, not homeless people (who have always been there).

If his homeless and destitute argument rang true no one would go to the CBD anymore and welpppppp

Why don't you pay it into savings and get something, which is better than literally nothing that also becomes less valuable every quarter? If there's spare money in there you can always throw it at super and get the tax deduction on top, saving $100 per pay (that will actually gain good value) for the princely sum of ~$75.

Once again savings is a zero sum game since the interest rates are too low for it to be effective. I can put more into super, but already getting 17% a year thanks to the EBA and future YouAmI can go gently caress himself at the moment.

Actually on that note, does anyone have some good references about contributing more to your super without loving yourself at tax time? I want to contribute more but I'm not sure if there are any limits or anything for doing so and don't want to accidentally screw myself.

Speak to your HR department, salary sacrifice for super can differ between businesses depending on EBAs or individual agreements

The Home Affairs minister, Peter Dutton, is considering establishing a committee to allow gun importers to review proposed changes to firearm regulations for “appropriateness and intent”.

Following a meeting with a pro-gun lobbyist in February, Dutton is weighing up whether to establish a so-called “firearms advisory council”, which the gun lobby says would give it “a seat at the table” to advise the government on firearms policy.

Last month Dutton met with Robert Nioa, one of Australia’s largest gun dealers, to discuss the council.

Just finished laughing at a comment in a Daniel Andrews' FB update about a rail level crossing being removed and how the project is well ahead of schedule, and some idiot posts "If he (Dandrews) didn't have his union thugs working there, it would've been done by now".

Of course, if we threw workers at the problem like Qatar has done with their sporting stadiums, it probably would've been done by now, who cares about some dead workers along the way, we'll sweep it under the rug.

Why would you stop people paying for school? I mean even if you ended public funding wholesale to private school, why wouldn't you let rich people reduce the burden on the education budget?

Because it then gets rid of the idea of a class system for education. There shouldn't be a need for private schools, as there should not be a need for the private health system.
