    Young pollies want tax reform—but it’s the older Aussies who’ll pay for it

    It's LABOR Macca, and it's Labor who have rejected the proposal by what seems to be an influential business the CPA, and the Coalition have only done so with reservations, glad Labor do govern as I'm sure the Opposition would welcome the increase.

    Young pollies want tax reform—but it’s the older Aussies who’ll pay for it

    How does broadening and increasing the overall cost of living with a gst increase ease the burden on anyone let alone the younger generation? Everyone knows as prices increase, so does the gst take, it's self regulating. I'm glad Labor have rejected such a proposal, and sorry the Coalition have...

    Electricity prices just jumped again! This switch could save you up to $390

    Luxury item, while I sit here using my excess as best I can and not a bill in over a decade. If possible get solar you will never look back or care what price it is again particularly if retired.

    Electricity prices just jumped again! This switch could save you up to $390

    I'm sorry but the relevance of who one votes for is mute imo, I have had solar for around 20yrs and not a bill in over a decade, I never opted because of the saving the planet jargon, but because of the privatisation of the once publicly owned assets and the way prices were going, had nothing to...

    Energy will never be cheaper than it is today, regardless of how it's generated or who is in Govt., u can take that to the bank.

    Electricity prices just jumped again! This switch could save you up to $390

    Solar is not that expensive, mine was $5k and I haven't had a bill in over a decade, it is particularly helpful for those in retirement or aged as they can do all their big energy consumption during the daylight hours from what they generate, and only rely on a tele and a light or two in the...

    Electricity prices just jumped again! This switch could save you up to $390

    Wow, if power affordability given the concessions available to pensioners is proving a challenge, then there is far more wrong with your budgeting than power costs. Not that I believe it should be as dear as it is, but by hell if you're turning off the tele to save power, something is dreadfully...

    Super slip-ups are leaving Aussies out of pocket—are you making the same mistake?

    Oddly it seems everyone in Oz checks their Super going by the furore over the recent capping changes, every Tom, Dick and Harry are complaining unnecessarily imo, projecting their fears for some 40yrs time hence.

    ‘The new super tax has been designed to excuse long-serving politicians': And it’s causing outrage

    Anyone arguing only politicians avoid the tax are wrong ex politicians and PMs do too, and Judges, the Military, around 1m in total, but it is not as simple as it seems, this is because defined benefit pensions don’t accumulate in the same way as standard super funds. There’s no actual fund...

    Is YOUR retirement at risk? What wealthy Aussies are asking about Albanese's new super tax laws

    That still doesn't change the fact, that no one knows what the rules will be in 40yrs time, likewise, it wasn't me who stated, "Even worse that it will eventually affect everyone in years to come!", clearly it won't affect us.

    Is YOUR retirement at risk? What wealthy Aussies are asking about Albanese's new super tax laws

    Like the aged pension, those without enough super because they chose to will soon hold their hand out to the Govt. tho to survive. What happens in years to come no one knows, that is a copout, and to say the rules will be the same in 30-40yrs time is a lie. I don't know, public hospital doctors...
