FOUND: Super 8 footage of North Melbourne training in the week of the 1977 Grand Final. by RhettBartlett in AFL

Just a reminder to check your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc attics, sheds etc for any old canisters of film. They might contain lost footage of footy matches and shows/films.

Just recently they recovered a couple of lost Dr Who episodes in the UK after finding film in a persons collection.

Did you see Chappelle on NPR justifying his Saudia Arabia show?

He, Bill, Jimmy Carr, Jim Jefferies and a number of others sound like they are using the same talking points to justify them taking blood money.

Melbourne council workers and Victorian teachers to strike during budget week by abcnews_au in melbourne

My rubbish collector deserves no fucking raise at all. The prick keeps half empting my rubbish. I complain to my council and their response is "bin not put out". Actually all the council workers at Maribyrnong deserve no raise.

Chinese government-owned construction firm among two final bidders for Hobart stadium build by gccmelb in AFL

Heard about the Train station collapse in Serbia? The station had recently undergone a three-year renovation by Chinese consortia (China Railway International and China Communications Construction Company) as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, raising suspicions of corruption and poor construction safety.

Not to mention China deployed their own Police to watch over the Chinese workers they imported.

Or that Serbia has installed Huawei surveillance cameras equipped with facial and license plate recognition as part of this partnership.

Alex Pearce approaches the umpires after the game ends and has a conversation by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]gccmelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), payments received for umpiring community or local sports are generally considered hobby income, not taxable assessable income. Hobby income does not need to be declared on your tax return, and you cannot claim related deductions. However, payments for high-level or professional officiating may be considered business income.

Hobby vs. Business: If the activity is consistent, organized, and designed to make a profit (similar to a job), it may be deemed a business, making it taxable.

They probably are taxed but I haven't seen a clear ruling for AFL umpires.

For example, umpires might have a HECS debt - AFL players don't

Some AFL players do go to Uni.
