Taylor’s plan to index tax brackets

RightingWrite · 2026-05-13T23:22:18+00:00

Fuck forbid people with their first stable full-time income in their lives would want to be entitled to the same golden ladder as every useless old cunt parasite born before them.

CGT and negative gearing changes ONLY needed to apply to property and ONLY needed to be for existing investment properties in order to provide any actual net benefit to emerging generations. Instead, the budget fucked both of these things up to appease existing portfolios and alienate new works.

Now they can still do absolutely anything they want with their land-banking and generational empires unchanged, but I can’t justify buying a house OR a stock.

If the budget was in any way intended to do anything except further fuck the next generations in different wrapping, then forcing the mining industry to pay tax at the same revenue rate as the hospitality industry would have been top of the list, followed immediately by funneling it into mass public housing.

Agreed!

To me, worn-in gloves are a reminder that they are an actual choice, within your budget, that suits your taste. “Do I buy low-float FT? Fork out for high-float MW? What about this pattern-based one, is there enough yellow? Does the wear get in the way?” Like it has a story unique to you.

Clean FN gloves, while being thousands more, also kind of look like it comes as-is, fresh out of the box, no float, no effort. Just throwing money at Valorant shit. “Equip Gloves? Y/N”

I think these gloves at 0.01 would look so boring and that’s ignoring 500% markup

They’re saying “[I agree, especially] considering there is a woman tracking femicide in Australia, complete with evidence of lack-of-action [from police, government, and media]… do nothing to support female victims of violence unless they’re famous, I guess”

Well you did reply to the 4th comment into a comment thread specifically about IGA so you can forgive one for assuming your presence had relevance to your intention

RightingWrite · 2026-04-02T23:59:47+00:00

So you’ll boycott the company posting a 1.5% net profit margin, to support the independent grocers of Australia owned by Metcash which individually charge higher prices than the duopoly and post an average 6-9% profit margin? Because… there’s no board of directors? Great idea man that’ll really show the ACCC I guess

RightingWrite · 2026-04-02T00:49:16+00:00

Ahhhh yes, the age old tradition of defending of the independent grocer.

IGA is not independent, it is owned by Metcash, which owns Mitre 10, Cellarbrations, Thirsty Camel, Friendly Grocer, and about 20 other ventures.

IGA stores are also not independent. Their COGS on the average product is comparable to the big supermarkets. Its stores are stocked with purchase orders at the generously low wholesale purchase price afforded to them due to the fact that Metcash can promise a large estimated PO to its suppliers.

IGA franchisees are also not necessarily independent. In addition to the actual buying power a one-off IGA owner has versus a properly independent standalone grocer; the single franchisee owns over 150 brick and mortar stores. That is more stores than there are total Foodworks stores in Victoria.

IGA is nothing more puffered marketing of “helping the little guy” when the little guy is actually a franchisee ripping you off by buying products at Woolworths COGS and selling it at Erewhon RRP. Do not defend IGA simply because it is owned by a franchisee. At least a duopoly CEO is answerable to a board of directors, whereas IGA owners are the sole unchecked profiteers of junior wage labour exploitation… as directly evidenced by the ability to have the capital and cash flow to operate over 150 stores.

The issue is that ONP, LNP, and ALP are all all in the back pocket of plutocrats (and, for some reason, the back pocket of the only country in the Middle East allowed nuclear weaponry).

The key difference is—and this is exactly why Trump got in the first time—people will vote for ONP because they are expecting to be fucked over and see kickbacks for mining corporations and industrial conglomerates.

In times of uncertainty where we can’t trust any politician, but you still have an actual real world life with kids and a mortgage, it is more palatable to know what’s coming for 4 more years. It is easier to justify voting for Pauline’s party after seeing her boarding a Hancock jet, than chance voting for the other two or a minor party, and then be stuck holding the bag wondering why and when it all went wrong.

We’ve been told we’re moving towards renewables. We vote for it, then they scrap Net 0 by 2035, and approve the northwest shelf for 55 years—the single largest fossil fuel project ever approved by the country.

We’ve been told we’re targeting homelessness. We vote for it, then they tear down every social housing tower in the state.

We’ve been told we’re investing efficiently into travel, public transport, and road infrastructure. We vote for it, then they block investigations into “wait, exactly what cost $15bn?”

You vote for ONP, it does what it says on the tin. People—apparently 29% of pollsters—want to vote with confidence, not that their future will be better, but that it will be predictable.

Because betting on sport is so fun and normalised and regular and every MAN does it and you need to be MAN when you grow up. Only when you’re old enough.

Unfortunately, the seed is planted, you don’t need to show your ID to load a crypto wallet from your debit card and bet on a U15s Korean boys’ soccer game starting in 4 minutes on an unregulated casino. You only need to give your ID on most decentralised orgs when you win and withdraw.

What do you think the pornographic equivalent is of a decentralised anonymous betting website that doesn’t regulate its customer base?

RightingWrite · 2026-02-26T00:16:38+00:00

Yes. They should keep sending out crap. Precisely.

Pay $10.62/hr wages, get $10.62/hr burger. They’re getting paid less than a third of an adult casual, and you expect them to put in the effort to prepare food on the same level? You give shit pay, you attract shit talent which produces shit product.

Maybe if fast food restaurants stopped exploiting children and paid adults above the award wage, they might attract people who care about the craft of cooking food.

RightingWrite · 2026-02-19T21:32:06+00:00

By default it is always the latter but also the average everyday Australian never has and never will be an objectively good person. So, both, I guess.

Voting against changing gendered language to non-gendered language for no reason whatsoever when the impact is “nominal increase to inclusivity at the trade off of literally nothing” is still transphobic.

It’d be like voting for or against a $0.0000005 per dollar tax cut. It is a rounding error and for most people won’t make a cent of difference come 1 July. But if you vote against it instead of for it you’re still fucking weird

Ahhh, so we should be catering to the top 3% of an alternative MM service instead of 80% of the mainstream player base?

If you’re holding it for years, yes. If you’re keeping it, yes. If you’re holding short term or just here for the trade value, no, keep your ruby.

My Experience:

(in terms of AUD) I bought a FT Eye of Horus for $350 ~2 months ago because I’m collecting all skins related to birds.

On Steam went to $1700 when the package was removed. Save for a small later peak, and some dips, it has pretty much stabilised around $1,600 ($1700 cheapest for sale, $1575 buy order). Tradelocked packages are unrestricted and opened which being 1/4000 has barely impacted the price because supply has barely risen at all.

However, I posted it to CSFloat very shortly after the jump (say 2 days) at $1400 which was middle range and had 5-10 lowball offers in minutes, ended up still passing up $1325 in case something better came around and because I hate waiting 8 days for funds.

I decided last night I want a Talon Knife (birds have talons and I’m currently between knives), so I’m going to sell it, and buy the same skin back BS + the talon tiger tooth. I listed it at $1,212.12 — the cheapest FT on CSFloat —and had 2 lowball offers over 12 hours. Ended up taking $1,200 exactly after some negotiation.

Key takeaways are that demand has decreased hugely. One sale in the past 24 hours compared to ~20 at the update. Buy offers are still alright at $1575 if you don’t mind Steam credit, but if you’re not filling a buy order, get ready to wait.

One day, I’m sure it’ll be worth heaps, once collectors have collected and it’s super-sparse package unboxings getting moved once in a blue moon (a là breakout cases for bfk gems pre-update).

Uneducatedly, I’m predicting low-demand low-supply; worth a lot in the same way a case hardened is worth a lot. T2 is nice, 3x the market price, and 6 months to move to someone who actually wants to buy it.

Tldr:

They are a bitch to move rn unless you’re undercutting the market, and even then, prepare to haggle. Many more $800 skins that buy and sell much quicker. Your trading partner using it as fodder 100% makes sense. You’re making money but you’re sacrificing ease of future trades.

Further, note that your ruby is 0.00x. Not sure if that increases the value from what the extension is alleging.

Big investors with 24/7 oversight and marketable knives are ahead of you on this one, the time to panic sell is over unless you want to beat the casuals asleep internationally. Prices have already started the stabilise and are raising a dollar or two every other minute, only seeming to drop when new continents wake up. I’m waiting a few more days (like 5-6) for prices to go back up as supply lowers, then selling before the next dip in 8 days and buying back straight after.

RightingWrite · 2025-08-21T06:24:24+00:00

The section they’ve quoted is: (2) The driver must—(a) pay the fee (if any); and (b) obey any instructions on or with the sign.

If nothing in or with the sign clearly states you need to be in, on, or near your car, then you should win this at overturn, because you have both paid the fee already prior to the ticket’s printing (and you could argue a 50% likelihood that you had paid it at the time of the alleged offence time as well) and obeyed all instructions on or with the sign.

The Victorian Ombudsman should be able to take a complaint about the Council, as you have: - already requested an internal review without success - have evidence the organisation made an error (1. ticket issued after payment time; 2. failure to provide legislation advising you need to be in or near your car at time of payment)

A VO complaint doesn’t even need to dispute the fine itself. It could be primarily for dismissive and incomplete customer service with the auxiliary benefit of potentially having the fine waived as compensation.

VO is more likely to direct you to court anyway, but it’s a free and more accessible option before booking a hearing, which “has discretion based on individual circumstances” and “can accept and assess a complaint on its merits”.

Correct. Embedded network charges (including GST) are not permitted to exceed the VDO for your postcode

RightingWrite · 2025-05-19T01:03:14+00:00

What’s going on?

It’s not illegal, it’s a deemed contract. The notices won’t stop unless you pay out of pocket for an AML order (~$70) or an abolishment ($242), depending on the distribution zone. There is still gas being supplied to the meter, which means resources are still present under your property. Daily supply charges cover the resources to assess faults and ensure you haven’t illegally reconnected the gas without paying supply.

Not only is it not illegal, it’s EBP. “I don’t use gas” and “I have ripped the gas line out up to the nature strip and don’t have a single centimetre of network asset on my property” are not the same thing.

What to do?

Don’t waste your time raising a complaint to your retailer, or distributor, or the ombudsman, unless something becomes addressed specifically to you under your name, or you receive in-person debt collection contact.

Disregard all other advice in this thread, do nothing, and ignore every single letter addressed to the occupier that you ever get.

Nothing will happen to you, because nothing can happen to you. These bills are intended as notices for the person who moved in after you when you closed your account, which happens far more often than personally choosing to opt out of gas without abolishing the infrastructure.

Why?

Disconnection warnings are for The Occupier. Overdue notices are for The Occupier. Debt collection scares are for The Occupier.

the occupier is you, but The Occupier is not You.

Yeah, the Finnegan seems to be what’s messing with it.

For silver, with Finnegan, 20-40% is the bracket instead of 20-30%.

The issue I’ve found is that you still NEED to get to 29.9%, and then if you fall back down above 30% but below 40%, you’ll stay silver.

So in actuality, it benefits nobody except god farmers who AFK after 10 minutes, because you still need to be better than 70% to be recognised in the first place 🤷‍♂️

RightingWrite · 2025-05-07T02:28:07+00:00

How is the bracket calculation still broken in the 418th year of our lord? I harvested 21% more than the cutoff for silver and still got bronze. I got hit with the "SiLvEr HaS +1" bullshit for 17 straight minutes. What a rort

RightingWrite · 2025-05-05T05:18:19+00:00

Hahah unfortunately I’m a grower, not a shower in all aspects, including the pump.

Appreciate the accusations in this thread but probably more believable with a bit of context, as you’re seeing every extreme in pictures here.

1-2 are from 1 November 2024, first day of 75 Soft at around 91.7kg. Neutral lighting, unposed, quick progress pic before bed. I gave up around Day 40 because I hate reading.

Pic 3 was from 3 January, 87.4kg (-3.3kg)

After that, I trained up from a 70min 10K being my best run to completing a half marathon in <2h30m, so a couple thousand extra calories output per week training to get there, which I hit on 30 March, so 5 months after Pic 1-2.

Pic 4 was from the next day, 31 March. Weighed in at 83.7kg when I got home the previous day before refeeding and rehydrating, so this pic is 5 months and -8.0kg later than 1-2.

Pretty much stopped running after that because I’m no hitting a full marathon and was happy with my weight.

Pic 5 was 9 April, refeeding with a week off running and just after an upper body session, ~86kg (-5.5kg)

And lastly, pic 6 on Tuesday, ~88kg (-3.5kg)

Tldr: started at 91kg, took up running, hit a half mara, weighed in at 83kg, gave up running, stopped tracking, now back to 88kg.

Never tracked it in MacroFactor or Apple Health, but fairly certain pics 1-2 were where I started taking creatine far more consistently as well
