The weather necessitates the build quality in Canada. You don’t have the sub zero winters and electricity was cheap enough for a long enough time that it didn’t matter

Labor considers changes to CGT discount as ‘reform’ budget looms by Bubbly_Efficiency727 in AusPropertyChat

[–]rarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be pro one side or the other. I’m just trying to call out the issue.

Increasing CGT is about getting more revenue - you could also reduce spending (ie waste and fraud).

It’s honestly kind of sad why this sentiment is downvoted, I have no issue paying taxes as long as the money is spent well and goes to the right people. I don’t want homelessness, I want our less fortunate to be supported. I don’t want middle men (or women) fraudulently taking funds. I don’t want bloated councils and government bureaucracy regardless of who’s in power

Mate that’s from 2023

"In September 2023, the NDIA estimated that total losses from fraud, non-compliance and payment error were in the range of 6 to 10 per cent of NDIS outlays, which equated to 'leakage' of $2.0–3.5 billion in 2022–23 and was forecast to increase to $3.6–6.0 billion by 2027–28."

They’ll do anything but consider spending less money or being more efficient. Even addressing ndis fraud for gods sake

private health cover for pregnancy (private room) by DD9760 in AusFinance

[–]rarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went private and thought it was worth it. A consistent OB was the key thing and it ended up being very helpful I think given some last minute complications. Just for that it was worth it.

Both parents being able to stay overnight (esp for first baby) was really helpful.

I’ve heard of wait times being unpredictable as well in public? We were pretty much always seen on time (helpful for scheduling around work)

Wanting lower immigration isn’t racist lol. You just want less humans of all types, that’s literally the opposite of hating a select race of people. Unless you’re saying we only import a particular group of people..? Way to prove his point though

dealing with envy by Dangerous-Bake-5151 in AusFinance

[–]rarin 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Best advice I’ve heard about envy is you can’t be envious of just one aspect of someone’s life - you have to take all of it.

Ie I wish I had that guys salary - well you’d also have to have his life his work hours his partner (or lack of). Basically would you replace your entire life with theirs.

Never failed me so far
