Water isn't rising, the islands are sinking.

"Please excuse my ignorance" Unfortunately Indy we cannot excuse your ignorance when it comes to income taxation. A shoddy attempt at distortion by you with your tax scales.

Here is Indy's chart;

taxable income Tax rate ......TAX FREE THRESHOLD.
$18,201 – $37,000 19% for amounts over $18,200
$37,001 – $90,000 $3,572 + 32.5% for amounts over $37,000
$90,001 – $180,000 $20,797 + 37% for amounts over $90,000

taxable income Tax rate
$0 - $18,200 zero tax
$18,201 – $37,000 19% for amounts over $18,200
$37,001 – $90,000 $3,572 + 32.5% for amounts over $37,000
$90,001 – $180,000 $20,797 + 37% for amounts over $90,000

Oh! this is painful, but for the dummy sitting up the back of the class. Indy pay attention.

Example; A supermarket worker earning a taxable income of $38,000 pays $3,900 tax 10.3% of his income. The state manager for the same supermarket earning a taxable income of $380,000 pays $144,000 37% of his income. INDY PLEASE EXPLAIN.

How about those other questions you are avoiding.

Why do you want to see the pay packets of Brendan Murphy and Paul Kelly reduced by 25-30%?

Would the Aged Pension also reduce by 15%?

Mr O, please help me out here.

Individual has a degree in Garbology majoring in toilet flushing, what's his degree worth? I suppose there wasn't much call for mathematics in Indy's working life doing odd jobs in between collecting the dole.

Armchair Critic,
Consider the displacement effect of sediment, artificial fill, Navy shipping, commercial & pleasure shipping & you'll find that all combined will probably result in some ten Billion tonnes.
It may only be a few millimetres but a rise it is never-the-less ! The REAL PROBLEM with the oceans & the Planet as a whole is pollution !
But, consumers want increasingly more pollution causing commodities !
Let's just hope the reduced emission due to COVID-19 will have a little beneficial effect on curbing pollution !
The irony here is that the very people bagging the big companies for pollution are in fact the very consumers pushing for the commodities ! Talk about senseless !

So, how would a 15% flat tax a low paid worker see his tax INCREASE, while a high paid executive would see his tax DECREASE
Paul1405,
Why would anyone apart from you want to see a low paid worker pay more tax ?
How will a high paid executive pay less Tax ?
Please explain ??
Pensions are already below minimum pay so, why lower them ? You don't seem to get the gist of Tax at all. Everyone pays Tax the moment they spend a Dollar & that's on top of income Tax.
What don't you understand when I say wage earners should pay less Tax & high earners should earn less ?
What is it you don't understand by the term Change ? Our Tax system needs reform, that's all there is to it ! If you don't understand that then I'm sorry I find no point to repeat myself just for the likes of you superfluous greed bags !

Individual, Auckland University's Institute of Coastal Studies did a
survey of all Pacific Islands. They used aerial photographs from 1945 as
their comparison. They found, and don't hold me to the exact percentages,
that 65% were larger, 20% were the same size and the rest were smaller.
They compared the photos with satellite images.
I know that the AGW religion finds it hard to accept but then look at
the trouble Galileo got into with the church.

Bazz,
Interesting & it supports my (to the GW worshippers unacceptable) beliefs that the Planet continues to evolve on all fronts including geological rise & subsidence of islands.
