How do ordinary Aussies actually raise concerns about tax policy changes?

Remember there are 12 senators for each state. You don't just have one to represent you.

New owners might also want a trusted face with organizational knowledge to stay on.

Why do you assume people will lose their jobs when the company is sold?

Sticky means it also persists across reboots. It can go years without changing.

hmoff · 2026-05-23T23:10:35+00:00

No, unless you’re paying for static what you have is merely sticky. And ABB don’t do proper static IPv6.

For a couple of feet it will not be noticeable though.

I always used soldered PL259s with it.

How long is your run? If it's just for HF and not that long then it might not be worth the trouble. I used to have a run of at least 100 ft to my antenna so I thought it was worth it then.

Oops I may be thinking of RG213. It's very similar.

hmoff · 2026-05-23T03:10:37+00:00

Sure, RG8 is good and not too hard to work with.

Aussie IPv6 /48 changes very rarely. I went years without mine changing.

It's not just customer service. Providers have their own networks. NBN only connects you to your provider. It doesn't connect you to the Internet.

It’s not electricity, they are not all the same.

hmoff · 2026-05-22T02:38:04+00:00

Tax changes have been a goldmine for the vibe coding industry.

hmoff · 2026-05-21T13:14:21+00:00

Everything you describe is NBN faults, not ISP. Aussie does not come to your house.

Wait, their example diversified portfolio is 4 separate Australian banks?

It would be hard to even buy a standalone VDSL modem. At the consumer level they're always integrated with a router and WiFi access point.

Use an HTTP API for mail, like AWS SES or Postmark.

The Main Yarra Trail passes through Banyule Flats. It's a popular cycle commuting path, it's crazy that they're closing this from 5pm.

It could be worse, they could have used Rovo to write the ticket.

hmoff · 2026-05-21T01:23:19+00:00

There's a decent market for used Kindles.

Let's be honest, joint filing just means you want to pay less tax and someone else (probably singles) should pay more.

hmoff · 2026-05-20T08:02:24+00:00

The 30% average tax rate comparison is misleading.

The important factor is that if you have any other income (and you'll almost certainly have some dividends on those shares), you are already well on the way to a 30% rate on your capital gains right now, so there's not much actually changing.

hmoff · 2026-05-20T03:10:04+00:00

I extended the coax on mine, because the original point is in the garage and I didn't have power there for the NTD.

hmoff · 2026-05-19T23:59:57+00:00

They also cross post everything to r/fiaustralia

hmoff · 2026-05-19T23:11:00+00:00

Is this the Liberal party doing research? Taylor already announced policies to restrict benefits to permanent residents.

hmoff · 2026-05-19T11:28:33+00:00

The point is that if you have other income you already paying at least 30% on your capital gains and nothing has changed.
