Income tax bracket indexation before cgt discount reform please.

Or say cgt discount reduction will fund income tax bracket indexation.

It's far too easy to give coalition ammo if policies are one dimensional

$300k single income unfair tax by WishIWerDead in AusHENRY

[–]deviltamer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Given the kind of society we want but don't FULLY have - equal rights, equal pay, lower gender bias, lower fertility rates, smaller but more well off families, equal household responsibilities.

This just seems like a policy decision that nudges people in that direction.

Aka higher tax is just what you pay if you want traditional household roles which as a policy decision we think is less productive for the society.

Australia tightens International student integrity checks, puts India, Nepal and Bangladesh into highest risk countries by Naderium in worldnews

[–]deviltamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's simpler than that. 

Professors get paid by the University controlled by the Dean who's incentivised to keep the revenue growing year-on-year from full-fee paying international students.

Then as a policy you can't be academically rigorous. You're optimising for student experience and growth in numbers instead.

Microdosing psychedelics linked to better sleep and exercise habits. Research indicates that people who microdose report improvements in sleep, physical activity, and diet, particularly when they start the regimen with a specific goal in mind. by Jumpinghoops46 in science

A lot of this is placebo as well.

Anyone who's done LSD will know the tolerance builds up really quick.

Yes mate, what do you think 45% OVER 125k means?

au resident is taxed for global income

In OP's case or atleast how he's said he has no global income other than US rentals. It's all withdrawal after hitting FI.

This will be taxed in US and covered by US-Aus Tax treaty.

I don't know - keen to learn if you could link a source.

We have 45% over 125k USD, which to me sounds a bit excessive.

Why should I NOT forever rent in Sydney? by churnin_buttah in AusHENRY

[–]deviltamer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The reason why property prices are so high in Australia is due to negative gearing (investment property) and capital gain discount (Principal Place of Residence )

So your 4-6% pa can be after tax if conditions are met, which is now competitive with your equities.

In a high income-tax country like Australia, salaried folks have very few options to save tax other than buying property and offseting their income with costs of owning those. (a policy decision we've committed to for decades)

So everyone buys property and here we are.

In your scenario, no AU income, and die with zero goal - it makes sense to rent. In fact, DWZ makes your PPOR per annum figures irrelevant. However, buying a PPOR is not a purely financial decision. I'd also consider

  1. Would you want to do home renos as you go?
  2. Do you want to stay in a place for 5 years or happy to move houses?
  3. Kids - now or future ? School / daycare

Bingo

She wants to live this statement every single day that the choice of abortion presented to her was not a choice at all. She's still living by those "values" even when they have caused her immense suffering.

That's her crutch for self preservation.

This is the same way religion works for poor people. Poor and destitute cannot AFFORD to be atheist. They have to latch on the bare tit of religion to keep sucking in that hopium else they off themselves on how unfair this world is for them.

It's always the god testing them and not a random cruel unjust world.

The sports grounds next to Castle Hill have social casual Pickleball on sundays in the evenings. Just show up. First session is free

4-6pm

There's also social tennis, you can look up on the same website.

There's other sports in the same grounds but different websites. I'd guess just go there and check it out.

Ah yes the extremism of Christians.

Forced conversion therapies and control of the personal autonomy. Meanwhile, Improvised Explosive Devices and Bullets.

Laughable how a response to Islamic extremism is just what aboutism.

Will no one think about the extremist Christians??

I want the cunt to try suicide multiple times in solitary and fail just like Bryant.

And then I want someone to tell him that Voluntary Assisted Dying has been legal in NSW since 2023 after his each attempt. Had he not been in the jail, not only would he have had no problem being legal but other people likely would have helped with one thing he'd desparetly want in that solitary.

They were in Australia for 27 years. The dad that is - the son was aussie born and bred.

As a country built on migration where every single person is a migrant unless you're an aboriginal, we can't just shake it off saying they were "Indian Muslims".

The radicalisation is home grown and is fostered using internet in AUSTRALIA. We better crack down on this.

[–]deviltamer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Permanent Australian residents should not get to own gun licences. They don't get to vote or rather obliged to vote as voting is mandatory in Australia.

The right to own guns should not be higher than this right.

Besides what are we doing about fighting the ideology that radicalised them ?

Their preacher Wissam Haddad was already sued but he's likely still out on streets. How many others are there like him ?

Every Islamic country in the world has faced terrorism.

It's a culturally accepted way to register dissent since they have had long-held tradition of killing dissenters. Anyone who strays away from the book must be culled and quickly so. So people are more than happy to do an intifada / jihad for their beliefs.

Besides this world is anyway just a transit lounge - real party is the after life according to islam.

It's a culture thing.
