Yes Steele,at home we did have the odd debate over politics from time to time. Now I'm in Queensland and they are in NSW, although we'll be down there next week for a catch up, and another grandchild due 25th a boy, so I'm told. Even told me the name they have in mind, no surprises

The sad part of it all is that there actually is enough money to go round, it's the distribution of it that is core problem.
Penalising effort & rewarding indolence too goes a long way towards inequality.

Steele Redux,
Unfortunately it's not about that it's about all of us now putting a stop to this rorting !
LNP/ALP have demonstrated on every occasion that they do not understand economics & sociology. Were it not for the taxpayers who provide a never-ending flow of Dollars these politicians would not be able to manage the Nation for more than a month.
All of us need to vote in such a way at the upcoming election that a third party i.e. independents, are put into a position of making whichever Govt we accountable.
Anyone hear that insult of Cormann's way of shopping ?

You are right there. $4 Billion being sent overseas as Jizya Tax (AID) every year just so some Government can spend their own money on Arms to attack the people that give them the "AID." If an end can be put to that Australia wouldn't have a problem. Pay off the Deficit.

Oh! Wait am minute. According to Accountants it's always better to be running in the "Red" to reduce your taxes. Ay.

better to be running in the "Red" to reduce your taxes.
Jayb,
That's what's so horribly wrong, we need a Flat tax ! Everyone pays the same rate , Full Stop !
No bracketing !
It's the ONLY way to create some sort of a level playing field. We would be a much better society in no time at all !
