Timothy, if possible, have a look at the volume of taxation law changes from 1980’s onward. Then Keating brought in taxation rulings which did not have force in law but were widely referenced. I think in the 70’s most accountants only needed a single CCH volume for most tax returns. Now what is required can probably fill a bookshelf. I’m relying on very distant and not employment related memories so others should have more information.
So it isn’t just the new laws, it is the expansion of existing laws.
You are of course 100% correct. As a tax lawyer myself I can tell you that the legislation which used to occupy one printed volume in the early 1980’s now takes four larger volumes with smaller print. And those volumes don’t even include the rulings.

Struth had a bit of a flap and wax lyrical about how he is the bestest and the greatest and ‘exposed’ Bird for what he was, and how everyone else is afraid of being called ‘Nazis’ and so nuke Bird on sight.
But it was really because Bird called him a c***. And Struth did not like that…

First let me say that Inheritance Taxes are double dipping taxes, and therefore theft.
Second. It was sold to the Queensland public because the wealth level which incurred death duties had not been revised since the 1940’s and had started to bite even those of modest means. As per the mindset that still exists in Australia today, it’s fine to tax the shit out of ‘the rich’ with all manner of targeted taxes, in order to enhance ‘fairness’ and distribute wealth, but when it bites ‘me, me, me’, it’s a bloody travesty.
As per a lot of things today, if laws and legislation where applied equally to every single Australian, without favour or exception, this country would be a better, more united, place.
A single line addition to our constitution, stating this, could resolve a great many issues.
No special superannuation entitlements and age restrictions for politicians.
No essential versus non-essential jobs during pandemics.
No special ‘closing-the-gap’ freebies for the Aborigines.
No tax brackets, just a flat percentage.
Etc.
All or none.
Let’s see Labor introduce Death Duties when Sally of Tarneit is going to lose 40% of her inheritance, regardless of how modest it may be.

Had an interesting experience up here in a NSW beachside town yesterday.
With the government having gone the full mask retard again, I was forced to wear one to go into a bakery to buy the young lads a pie each.
On exiting the bakery and removing the face nappy, an attractive, well dressed 30+ year old woman approached me and asked if she could ‘borrow’ my mask so she could likewise enter the establishment. Clearly, she didn’t give a rats rectum about my vaccination status, or my potentially carrying the virus, she just wanted her bread. I gladly donated my 50c turtle killer to this damsel in distress.
Her care factor for this bullshit was clearly zero. It warmed my heart.

Mater opines:
Okay.
Some Battler earns $20 grand in a year, pays 20% Tax, he won’t even be able to put a roof over his head and feed himself.
Some NufNuf that inherited an Income Stream of $1,000,000/year pays 20% Tax, it’s a drop in the Champagne bucket, but he’ll still be bitchin’ an’ moanin’ like a MoFo about it.
Here’s the thing you’re missing:
There’s always going to be many multiples more Battlers than there are people livin’ High on the Hog who don’t have to work at all.
So the question becomes:
in the interests of Australia and Australians, is it better to help the battlers or should Hoarders be looked after and encouraged?
Because you can’t do both.
No, you idiot.
She was trying to pick you up!
I’m not missing a thing, Ed.
One pays $4,000 tax, and the other pays $200,000. Which one is contributing more to “the interests of Australia and Australians”? That’s what’s great about percentages, they’re proportional.
Also, Tax free thresholds exist for a reason, and they apply to all…even those with a $1m income stream.
She’s only human!
More Mater:
Yet Australia was a better, fairer, more united place when State Death Duties were in operation.
Death Duties discouraged mindless hoarding, among other things.
I heard of a bloke in Brisbane who owned 700 houses, started as a penniless migrant, used Vendor Finance back in the day when existing inner city houses were hard to sell, the BCC had a Department devoted solely to dealings with this guy.
He died, left 4 or 5 kids a million each and the rest of his Estate to his latest wife, who was worth $ 100 odd million in her own right.
So it went to the Courts, probably still in the Courts …
Here’s the point:
If Death Duties in Qld were still Law he woulda been incentivised not to mindlessly hoard 700 houses, the Courts wouldn’t be clogged up with bullshit, the BCC wouldna have had to employ a Department to deal with this FruitLoop and everybody woulda been better off.
….Because you can’t do both.
This is absolutely correct!
The economy NEVER shifts in response to changed regulatory conditions.
Tax cuts for investment have NEVER resulted in higher employment levels and thus increased demand for labour and thus higher wages.
That’s why when Reagan and Thatcher followed the advice of Art Laffer they both plunged their countries from happy prosperity in 1979-80 to poverty and misery by about 1988.

What an idiotic argument!
You cherry-pick an outlier hypothetical and compare it to another tug-at-your-heart-strings BS and pretend you’re making a rational argument.
If I’m not mistaken, the top 5% of earners pay something like 45% of income tax in good old egalitarian Oz. And that doesn’t include the dozens of other taxes hidden by this gangrenous, thieving government.
Apparently, that’s just not fair, the hard workers should be paying much more, doncha know?

Ok, you win. I’m convinced that paying taxes twice is a good thing.
Hard cases make bad law.
Besides, what’s wrong with this outcome…other than offending your envy ridden values and principles? A penniless immigrant makes good, and you want the government to steal it to provide for you because you didn’t?
5 minutes ago you were talking Flat Tax rates, now it’s Income Threshholds.
Let say the Battler earns $40 grand then and the Income Threshhold is $ 20 grand.
He’s still battling, he’s still gotta pay GST on everything he’s still gotta pay exhorbitant Taxes on Fuel, either directly or indirectly, the NufNuf on a $Million/year who’s never worked in his life is still unaffected and is basically a Free Rider
This is always the underlying motive.
Did you miss the bit about thresholds applying to all?
That doesn’t contravene my ‘equality for all’ principle.
Please do take Gilas’ advice.
Take away one of the States revenue streams and they become dependent on The Feds, who’ve also got to get the money somehow.
But enough about the Labor decision during WW II to remove income taxing powers from the states. Perhaps they should have those powers returned to them, with the Commonwealth relying on the GST, excise and limited tariffs?
Thanks for making my case for me.
This outcome (the bulk of the populous hurting from taxes and excise) would drive better, more considered government policy and spending.
When I say “bulk”, you’d be an idiot to think there’s more than a tiny percentage of Australians who have an income stream of $1m+. Even fewer still who don’t work damned hard for it.

State Death Duties are a legit Tax, it encouraged people to arrange their affairs rather than leave it to the Courts [free riding] and it prevented hoarding, where a few people own a colossal share of the Wealth.
This used to be called The Commonwealth of Australia.
That’s become a joke since State Death Duties were abolished.

Here’s the reality:
Assets are scarce, abolish State Death Duties, and over the following 50 years, assets are still scarce, but now more tightly held since the State stopped taxing them at the owner’s death.
That’s how you end up at Oligarchy, a tiny number of people have a colossal share of The Wealth and their only interest in life is to conserve and add to that wealth.
That’s Guatemala, for instance.
That isn’t what Australia is supposed to be about.

Mr Ed

When the ALP was the party of the rural and urban working classes, you might well have directed that question to them. Now that the ALP is the party of Big Business and the urban tertiary credentialled bureaucratic class (greedy hoarders?), you will need to look elsewhere for an answer.

Mr Ed is right on the (‘ed) case. There were never rich people when there were Death Duties. The only tax which never collected a dollar, because it prevented hoarding (How did that bloke live in 700 houses, or was he helping to house others by renting them out, like the Housing Commission?), and no one had a colossal share of the wealth. (That’s sarcasm Mr Ed, in case you don’t know.)
Someone asked up-thread if Mr Ed is Homer Paxton.
Doubtful, even Homer doesn’t seem to be that stupid.
Wondering how this unrealised capital gains tax will work out for Vic. I sure that some here can think of how it will effect the property market. I’m thinking that the state gov will use it to force people to sell land they don’t wish to sell and select areas where they want development, they could also use it as a eapon against those that the gov doesn’t like. Will they rezone in bulk or just little patches here and there? If they do it in bulk you’ld think that it would drive down the price of land as most owners would have to sell almost straight away to pay the tax. If they do it in small lots it will increase the price of land by a lot. I guess it comes down to how desperate Dan is for money.
Paxton liked death duties for the same reasons that’s why I asked, John.
‘mindless hoarding’
Someone last night encapsulated this perfectly.
Ed. Because you are an incompetent shut-in and incapable of making a dollar on your own without it being shoved down your throat by Gummint, does not mean your life should be subsidised forever by those with that particular life skill.
Timothy Nielson ululates:
No, Timothy.
What happened was that the few people who were in a position to attrace State Death Duties no longer had any incentive to minimise their Estate prior to their passing on.
That caused
1. Assets to be held by fewer people.
Over time that causes rises in Asset prices because velocity is taken out of the Economy.

The question is how can it be reformed, or just close it down?
Start in the early 1950s when the Property Market in Brisbane was very quiet, use Vendor Finance, rent them out, after a while the bloke employed his own Real Estate Agent to buy houses for him.
The story I heard, he was driving round Brisbane looking at houses as he drove by, he says to his Agent “Buy that house for me.”
Agent replies “You already own it.”
What his motivation was, who cares, I was told he did no maintenance on the Houses, but he wasn’t jacking the Rent up every year [or even every 5 years] either.
Like the ABC, I would say the FBI is beyond reform.

And no, the $800k is not worth that. Prices have just gone stupid with people desperate to get out of melbourne.

People do not remember that there were both state and federal death duties.Most estates attracted state duties.In Victoria you needed a certificate for each asset from the govt before you could dispose of it.
It meant heaps of work for lawyers setting up multi generational, trusts to keep the assets out of the hands of the government.
Primary production land that contains a home will also be exempted up to two hectares.
So instead of rates driving you out slowly the socialists will get you to put up the farm for sale overnight.

Andrew’s tax is the perfect example of big government and big business working to tax the little people out of the way.
A small investor who has a hunch years out that this land could have value or a lifestyler with a bit of cash and a yearning for near city rural living won’t dare buy for fear of punitive tax.
The big end investors are the only lot who could wear the tax long enough to reap the development money and they’ll get the land far cheaper as the competition is squeezed out.
Naturally the clueless marxists at the ABC won’t join the dots.
No, because people didn’t mask up and get jabbed “for the common good.”
They did it because of fear or because they were coerced into it.
Saying it was “for the common good” just made them feel better about it.

Yes indeed. Contact tracing information should only be available to the jacks under warrant, and even then if there is enough information before a judge to suggest the person the information relates to has committed an indictable offence, ie one that would get you significant jail time.
There’s quite a bit of effort and paperwork that goes into that process as well. If this is going on, it’s circumvented the exact system in place that’s supposed to ensure that inappropriate disclosure doesn’t happen.
Then again, it’s in Victoria so it shouldn’t shock anyone.

There’s no Free Lunch and you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
State Governments were able to balance their books during the Death Duties era.
State governments have relied on Commonwealth subsidies since they lost income taxing power.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed this appearing in daily round-ups:
– Fairfax
-ABC
Sounds to me like ICUs are free enough to be parking dozens of people who are no longer dangerously ill.
I should have added that not only would contact tracing information relate to the commission of an indictable offence by a person, but that the contact tracing information would be directly relevant to the identity of the person committing that offence AND that the information would supply evidence of the commission of said offence.
Close enough, CL.
Most Health Systems have a policy of bunging straight into ICU anyone whom they feel is (or risks becoming) unable to fend for themselves on a general or specific (e.g. Respiratory or Cardiac) Ward.
So after certain surgeries of if you have a particular comorbidity or get particularly sick after admission, a stay of at least some duration in ICU is all but inevitable.
Difficult to gauge without further information.
While their covid infections may no longer be “active” if they have co-morbidities, which can almost be assumed, they may still not be out of the woods…or ICU.

which is why they stole the election last year. Sounds like the lesbian bitch is getting ready to make another move too.
Dr F
A lonely hobby.
Perhaps Mr Ed never worked out how to handle that other solitary pastime?
Microeconomics is solid. It is as good as gold – in the same league as accepted physics and chemistry. Provable beyond doubt.
Macroeconomic orthodoxy (Keynes) is simply garbage and the official data has several problems beyond manipulated definitions.
The best thing to come out of mathematical macroeconomic theory was Okishio’s theorem. An implication of that is the assumptions Marx had about capitalism are simply not possible in the long run or in a wide enough portion of an economy. That is, matrix algebra debunks Marxism.
Let’s not even delve into the suicidal stupidity of modern monetary “theory”.
But all you do it Beat It! Just Beat It!

It’s hard to continue being loyal to a country that jails a 19 year-old for going clubbing while infected with a harmless cold – as a magistrate did this morning, refusing him bail – but a Queensland Premier who has caused multiple deaths blocking entry to the state (including a 78 year-old who died waiting in a car park) isn’t even asked a hard question at a press conference.
I haven’t got Dr Ivy Mecktin yet but I am taking the Sambucol prophylactics with elderberry extract, vitamins C & D, zinc and astragalus.
Plus the apples, cherries and pineapple I have been tanking for quercetin, bromelain and various polyphenols…and glorious sunshine this time of year.
Generally,placing a premium of your health and well being has not been a priority at the Perth Cup.

It’s puke making. It’s not the country- it’s the pollimuppett-meja class.
From the horse’s mouth, apologies for the
TGA word wall.
These changes have been introduced because of concerns with the prescribing of oral ivermectin for the claimed prevention or treatment of COVID-19. Ivermectin is not approved for use in COVID-19 in Australia or in other developed countries, and its use by the general public for COVID-19 is currently strongly discouraged by the National COVID Clinical Evidence Taskforce, the World Health Organisation and the US Food and Drug Administration.
Firstly, there are a number of significant public health risks associated with taking ivermectin in an attempt to prevent COVID-19 infection rather than getting vaccinated. Individuals who believe that they are protected from infection by taking ivermectin may choose not to get tested or to seek medical care if they experience symptoms. Doing so has the potential to spread the risk of COVID-19 infection throughout the community.
Secondly, the doses of ivermectin that are being advocated for use in unreliable social media posts and other sources for COVID-19 are significantly higher than those approved and found safe for scabies or parasite treatment. These higher doses can be associated with serious adverse effects, including severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, neurological effects such as dizziness, seizures and coma.
Finally, there has been a 3-4-fold increased dispensing of ivermectin prescriptions in recent months, leading to national and local shortages for those who need the medicine for scabies and parasite infections. It is believed that this is due to recent prescribing and dispensing for unapproved uses, such as COVID-19. Such shortages can disproportionately impact vulnerable people, including those in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
To summarise,
You might take something that fixes you and we won’t know about it.
Vax is gooder!
You might take the wrong dose as we’ve blackmailed your GP under threat of disbarment if he/she advises or prescribes ivermectin.
There’s a shortage of this easily and cheaply made drug.
India and Japan are developing countries.
Oh, but there’s an oral treatment available, just not for Covid, fnyaaarrr!!
What a pack of C*nts!
Speaking of pollimuppetts- every time howard opens his mouth I dislike him more.
Look, Brandon was more far gone 5 years ago than The Gipper was at the end of his Presidency, but results count.
Brandon:
Ended the Afghaniostan War
Trump: Talked about it
Brandon:
Stopped the BLM/Antifa rioting
Trump:
said: “There’s good people on both sides” and headed out to the Golf Course
It’s like being a soldier…you enlist because of patriotism but you end up fighting for your mates.
Judge rules Catholic Church vicariously liable for Ballarat paedophile priest Bryan Coffey’s abuse 50 years ago
Leave the issue of vicarious liability to one side. The Judge also unleashed the superpower of recovered memory:
Abuse is an awful thing. But the prospect of an easily awakened $200k will not pass unnoticed in ruined lives everywhere.
Mother does not approve.
Mmmm, might get a Big Mac for lunch.
“Recovered memory” is bullshit.
Oh look…a piñata.
Now, where were we?
Groogs
Yellow card. Typos. Settle down little fella.
“the man had suffered since the memories were reawakened.”
Memories are always there. You don’t forget, you don’t wake up one day and suddenly remember.
It’s just bullshit.
Tom:
It looks like Ed McClown is taking the Scorched Earth route.
He could have taken the Withdraw at Leisure approach, but he’s trying to double down and keep all the gains he’s made, which, historically speaking, has been the quickest way to lose everything.
The whole WZV Drama has been a failure and the smart ones are looking for a way out. The dumb ones are escalating.
Perhaps.
No indication that this man’s life was ruined though.
$200,000 is still a lot of money.
This man would have had to satisfy the Court and his Solicitors that his memories were genuine, that would be near impossible to fake.
Biden surrendered to the Taliban, the riots continued and the left complained when Trump starting locking up “peaceful protestors” and wanted to put Rittenhouse on gaol for killing a wife beater and serial rapist of boys (who were violent rioters).
The last five years have been a massive tantrum from the left because their Kween, Hillary did not win even after she stole at least 5 million votes.
his solicitors
You’re an absolute joke, Grigory/Septimius.
Surprised by a long queue of cars on the other side of town.
Either the local meth lab is trialling a factory direct drive through,
or everyone is taking the kiddies to get a cotton bud up the nose
because the weather is too manky for the beach.
Looks like a trip Down Under will be the cause of death for another English captain.
No, it usually takes some extremely stressful event, or Therapy, to suddenly recall details of awful events from childhood.
It probably is in the Family Court, it may be when Police and lawyers are chasing a prosecution,
but in Civil Cases such as the above, Judges aren’t making Awards to grifters on the basis of bullshit.
That pivot to the left on climate worked a treat, Scotty.
Labor predicted to take 9-12 seats from the Libs.
Newspoll.
That’d ruin your well earned break.
Meanwhile, noted in Rod Dreher’s column at American Conservative:
Poms 7-61, still 21 runs behind Australia. Debutante Aussie bowler Scottt Boland 4 wickets for 5 runs.
Mitchell Starc has a better batting average than any English batsman in this series.
That’s how shithouse the Poms are travelling.
Scott Boland, in his first Test, gets a five-for. MCG specialist.
Sounds like the good Dr Hobart wasn’t the only one trying to “first, do no harm.”
How many others have been destroyed without us knowing about it?
No, it usually takes some extremely stressful event, or Therapy, to suddenly recall details of awful events from childhood.
8-65
Boland has five.
An innings defeat chasing 267 would have interesting effects upon Fleet Street methinks.
Blockquote fail.
Scott Boland 6-5.
“No, it usually takes some extremely stressful event, or Therapy, to suddenly recall details of awful events from childhood.”
What a load of absolute drivel. Just fuck off gargoyle.
9/65.
Never seen anything remotely like it in any Ashes series, ever.
Boland – Michelle +1 on debut.
Any psychologists in Melbourne. Please make your way to the MCG.

It’s puke making. It’s not the country- it’s the pollimuppett-meja class.
They have a symbiotic relationship, one can’t survive without the other. Destroy the MSM, and the polliemuppets lose much of their ability to hold power without serving those they rule over (but do not lead).
Given that the real world data show the efficacy of the currently available vaccines are less than 80%, then even if EVERYONE was vaccinated; we would NEVER achieve herd immunity (80% vaccination is what is required as a rule of thumb), then how is this an argument against the use of Ivermectin?
If we approved the use of Novavax, Covaxin and Ivermectin, we’d all be better off!
Looks like all those promises that QR coding was private and would not be disclosed to third parties was all a lie.
The English players must be in two minds:
Do we forfeit the series and get on the next plane home?
Or do we seek asylum?
Individuals who believe that they are protected from infection by taking ivermectin may choose not to get tested or to seek medical care if they experience symptoms. Doing so has the potential to spread the risk of COVID-19 infection throughout the community.
Condemned out of their own mouths. Let me revise that:
Individuals who believe that they are protected from infection by vaccination may choose not to get tested or to seek medical care if they experience symptoms. Doing so has the potential to spread the risk of COVID-19 infection throughout the community.
Using their own standard, a single changed word destroys the case for continuing with vaccination.
Arky:
Noooo!
I am burying my Vegemite hoard for the catastrophic day when the Vegemite Mines run out.
You gotta cut a deal with the Vegemite Gnomes. Fortunately they don’t have much of a business plan.
Inside two and a half days.
Bowled out for 67. 67.
Ashes are home.
As BoN said, Fleet Street will crucify this rabble and rightly so.
All over red rover. The front pages in Pommyland tomorrow may be a little incendiary tomorrow.
Mr Ed
Brandon:
Stopped the BLM/Antifa rioting
You have reversed cause and effect. The BLM/Ante-Fa (precursor to fascism) riots stopped once they had achieved their intended effect, the “election” of Creepy Joe.
Oops I have repetition disease. Like England in this series.
At least the Australians usually take the full day to capitulate.
68.
An innings and 14 runs. The GOAT didn’t even need to warm up.
Excellent MCG track as well.
Poms second innings all out 68. Aussies win the Third Test and the Ashes series.
As Rex Hunt would say, a destroyation.
Dot:
It’s like the final decades of the Soviet Union – the central planning couldn’t get the information they needed to allocate resources, because they refused to allow the information to reflect the real economy.
Mr Ed
This man would have had to satisfy the Court and his Solicitors that his memories were genuine, that would be near impossible to fake.
ROFLMAO, what a load of pretentious bullsh1t. Mr Ed might better be named Francis the Talking Mule, except that Francis was waaaayyyy smarter.
The TGAs three reasons are specious. The first equally applies to vaccines. The second is absurd as it doesn’t apply to GPs prescribing ivermectin. And the third is without merit because ivermectin is easy to manufacture and procure.
We haven’t seen a credible reason against the use of ivermectin when prescribed by a medical practitioner. Not one.
They will but they’ll be hitting the wrong target.
I watch a vlogcast with Atherton, Husein and Rob Key.
By all accounts the ECB has let the County game go to seed while they rake in the dosh from the white ball game. That’s why they’re not producing Test players.
The only plus is the Poms should now give a bunch of newbies a chance for the next test. So long as the selectors don’t get woke and pick a bunch of ex-Afghans or something it may give a few young county players an opportunity to perform in the big time.
in Civil Cases such as the above, Judges aren’t making Awards to grifters on the basis of bullshit.
Mr Ed (aka Francis) confirms that “recovered memories” are bullsh1t, used by judges with no skin in the game to impress their dinner party guests at someone else’s expense.
ROFLMAO!
They sent the Lions home after Brisbane, Bruce.
We’ve just about seen all of their squad.
Shocking:
NYPD Stormtroopers round up a little boy and his mum at a restaurant: Video.
This is Nazism, straight-up.
I’m glad to see you make that claim because I’ve been telling people that the economic data at present doesn’t make any sense.
JC it’s real and it’s magnificent, if you like that sort of thing.

Even the professional psychological associations maintain that memories aren’t, of themselves, cogent evidence of abuse.
Was corroborating evidence presented to lead the judge to deem that the balance of probabilities had been met?
The church’s lawyers must appeal on principle.

Poms second innings all out 68. Aussies win the Third Test and the Ashes series.
Newly appointed English manager, Dan Andrews commented on the loss “Some people can’t bring themselves to say, well done.”
Dot:
Dot, I had hypnotherapy to find out why I suddenly started getting agorophobic in my very late teens.
Got hypnotised, and immediate memory resurfacing from when I was about 9 or 10 years old involving a drunken Matron in the Home. When I spoke to family about it they all remembered it, so it wasn’t manufactured.
But as you say there’s a lot of bullshit being peddled for the compensation.
Such as?
It’s sickening watching Scott Boland buying into blackfella victimology. He doesn’t need a leg-up. He doesn’t need identity politics. He took six wickets on debut today on merit. It had nothing to do with having one poofteenth blackfella blood. It came from hard work.
At 32 he has to consider his post-cricket future.
Boland is obviously of Aboriginal descent and he’s only putting pressure on himself by buying into the victimology, but:
Cricket Australia are now Woke and extremely PC, so was his selection strictly on merit or perhaps his riding instructions are to be a cricketing Adam Goodes?
Ivermectin is not approved for use in COVID-19 in Australia or in other developed countries
Japan is not a developed country?
Maybe that should read “or in other WEF captured countries.”
Bruce Pascoe named for 4th Test. Cricket Australia CEO …
Boland is great bowler, terrific figures for a test match.
London to a brick he will never be publicly criticised or dropped for any future poor performance because racism.
A pity, because he could stand on his own merits without any of the “first nations” crap.
sfw:
isn’t this just a subtle variant of the rezoning game that has brought the Chinese economy to its knees?
I just heard an elderly friend is in hospital in Perth with severe heat exhaustion.
He spent two hours standing in the sun yesterday in 40C+ heat waiting for a Covid test. He had apparently been advised in an SMS that he was a casual contact from one of the many places the diseased Frog backpacker has visited.
Angry doesn’t describe my mood right now.
