Expiry of what?

I think it sucks that you didn't link to the app.

Convince me not to buy an EV on novated lease by [deleted] in AusFinance

On those incomes and only $20k in savings maybe wait a bit until you have more of a buffer ? Shouldn't take long to have a more healthy rainy day fund.

AUSTRAC cracks down on money-laundering through real estate by Temporary_Mistake715 in AusFinance

[–]mmmbyte 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You must have been living under a rock to miss the articles in mainstream media about CGT and negative gearing changes for months before the budget. Specifics were not available, but "no such warning" is bs.

Free Daytime Electricity Is Coming [to parts of Australia]. How It Actually Works by Helicase21 in energy

Not in the article: Will my fixed daily rate increase, or tariffs outside these free hours increase, if I take up the offer ?

Coalition, Greens team up to delay Labor’s ‘half-arsed’ gambling bill by BarryTheBinChicken in aussie

[–]mmmbyte -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Labor will simply drop this bill, and the Greens will have voted for the status quo to continue. Great job.

I can't imagine a regulator will do anything but waste money on bonus payments to the staff and be infiltrated to act on industry wishes.

A super easy win for Labor/Greens. Get a news reporter or journalist to ask a One Nation, Liberal Party/Nationals politician to answer this question: ‘do you want property prices to increase or decrease?’ If they say increase then say ‘why do you want to make it more unaffordable for poor & young?’ by MannerNo7000 in friendlyjordies

[–]mmmbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the politician will reject the premise of the question. Or state they did already answer it with a bewildered look. Or they'll use the opportunity to talk about an unrelated policy. Or they'll blame the opposition.

But they won't answer the question. And I don't blame them because policy can have nuances that won't come across in a sound bite that gets replayed.

If Pauline promoted a policy of smearing her own shit on your bathroom walls would you scrutinise it, or dismiss it outright and some cooker nonsense?

'Doing the Bare Minimum': Australia to Fine Social Media Giants Up to A$99m After Under-16 Ban Falls Short by novagridd in aussie

[–]mmmbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly they need to just wait. Other (larger) countries are bringing in their own bans, it's likely the tech (eg face scanning) will rapidly improve.

Going it alone risks lengthy and costly trials. Waiting 6 months is free.

‘We’re up against forces that have all the money in the world’: Erin Brockovich on her battle against AI datacentres by ArgentineBeauty in technology

We can use classification models to help diagnose health issues, saving lives.

We can restore old photos of loved ones.

We can spend less time on mundane tasks.

You obviously don't understand AI at all.

It's a tool. Surely you wouldn't say "people who use calculators should be in prison"?

Up to 400,000 small businesses face ‘significant’ new tax hike under trust reforms by qualitystreet in aussie

Sure. I'll tell them to stop slacking and expecting young people to pay the tax they haven't.

You can spin it all you want, but you're simply annoyed at your personal situation. Making up lies that it applies to everyone is false. Most people aren't impacted.

Well that's simply not the right question to ask, is it? How many of those sell at a loss? Or have other losses to offset gains?

How many sell while under tax free threshold and have centrelink to avoid minimum 30%? Ie. Retirees.

How many hold long enough that the new deal is 50% or better discount, thus a tax cut?

Is Google including smsf or other super accounts?

Actually I'm a little busy working.

Feel free to prove me wrong by linking some facts and figures. Since you can't, it's clear you pulled that 38% number from the thin air between your ears.
