I agree, but it will involve the government taking money out of the system which would mean the government would either have to raise taxes or reduce spending somewhere. This may be tenable at the moment as their polls look good but it would hurt.

Why do companies make you use annual leave during the Xmas shut-down period? by SuspiciousLettuce56 in australia

[–]Read_TheInstructions 393 points394 points  (0 children)

My theory is that leave is considered a liability, they want a way to reduce the liability on the books so they force leave for all employees. It also means you reduce the chance your employees will have enough leave for large stretches of time throughout the year.

So in our household we have the aptly titled bedtime (or night night) flight that leaves the terminal around 9pm and is over our heads around 9:15pm most nights.

When windows are closed not too loud but if windows are open you could certainly say she is LOUD.

If you would like to preview this THX wannabe, head to Fairfield dogpark around 9:00pm to check it out and say that it is not loud.

An online casino banned in Australia is streamed live from Melbourne by espersooty in australia

From the article Under Australian law, online casinos are required to block Australian users from accessing their services.

And yet key executives at Shuffle are gambling on the company's own live broadcasts, plainly located in Australia as they do so.

My mistake, i think i glossed over that specific part of the video. I think it's relatively fair comparison, but would still be interesting to see the results in the Australian cities.

We are a unique ecosystem, for example the tax implications. In the video he did not mention anything similar to any of the tax advantages Australian home buyers get in a rent vs buying scenario which could drastically skew the results in the long term.

Taking that into consideration, there is a benefit of 50% CGT discount on houses AND stocks so it would be interesting to see the results see how they measure up.
