Nhoj,

Quite so.

Bazz,

"Poirot's rhetoric is amazing."

Why, thank you!

Private wealth is "not" public debt.
Poirot,
Isn't it ? What happens when people go broke then ? How do they get pulled out of the crap ? Tax return, welfare etc. but that's not public in your mind now is it.
Lol!
Don't lol to early. If the australian income is so high in comparison to other currencies then anything owed is on the same value be it private or otherwise. Unless of course you are a supporter of the sweatshop countries & owe them a few dollars.
Stuff you jack I'm alright is an out-dated term but very much the mentality of Poirot et al.

individual,

When you've done with talking gobbledygook let me know.

: )

Individual has just shown why nobody has put him in control of the country's finances.

The call by Hockey that the "burden must be shared by all" has a hollow ring when you pick up the paper and read how much one multinational pays in Tax. I'm talking about Google and how little it pays in Australian company tax, despite its local profit ballooning to $46 million. Google was initially presented with a tax bill of $7.1 million, but is now set to pay just $466,802. You don't need to be a mathematical wizard to calculate that is a negligible one percent of profit.
This is the sort or wroughting by big business, that Tax'em Tony should be cracking down on! Its not an isolated example of the tax rip off by big business.

It would be interesting to see Hockey's personal tax return. I bet that over the years he's minimised his tax liability in every legal (??) way that's humanly possible.
