Loudmouth,

I should reply to you, but I can rarely be bothered reading your stuff these days...not really on purpose, it's just that I slide right over your first few lines which are usually stoked to the brim with any and every snide remark you can muster...so before I know it I'm onto the next post and your stuff...well....

Thanks Poirot, I'll take that as a comment. And something of a compliment.

The question remains: if one is not paying any tax, how does one gain a tax cut ?

Of course, another question is: if someone is able-bodied, why aren't they looking for work, and taking it where they find it ?

Gosh, so 1950s.

probably the only one came out of this stunt worse than the abc hero makers was Kelly O'Dwyer who seemed incapable of calling out the leftist hero. How different was Ayaan Hirsi Ali last night who was able to expose how cowardly the left are when it comes to Islam. Despite the deniers trying to demonise her she exposed their cowardly fraudulent ideologies very succintly. Even Jones had to backtrack on his usual arrogrance and narratives.

Loudmouth,

Okay I read this one.

"The question remains: if one is not paying any tax, how does one gain a tax cut ?"

Um....let's see - as an example the govt has just given out corporate tax cuts.

But then:...the guy whose media stable crucified Storrar?

"Eight of the 10 media companies that paid no income tax in Australia in 2014 are linked to the Murdoch family, Australian Taxation Office data reveals.

"ATO report shows nearly 600 big companies paid no tax in 2013-14"

"More than one-third of the largest public companies and multinational entities paid no tax in Australia in the most recent financial year on record, according to the first transparency report published by the Australian Taxation Office."

Storrar's question is still relevant - why if the govt thinks it can afford tax cuts - do they limit them to the top echelon - especially those who already wangle their way out of paying tax?

Yep, this whole Duncan saga has been one big nation-wide example of why the ad hominem is fallacious.

As Poirot points out, Storrar’s question is still relevant.

I do hope that those who apparently deny the existence of genuine disadvantage are having fun attacking the less fortunate, though. Even if one of them really does only have himself to blame.
