Can anyone give an estimate of the accumulated costs of a formal trust arrangement? Pre 1991 means 35 years or more of annual ASIC & tax agent/accountant fees (as well as the legal costs to establish then wind up the trust). Might not be much better off in the end (except for the lawyers &...

Can the family take civil action against the abuser?

Darwinian processes at work...

Nope.

Imagine that whatever business you previously owned or worked in was targeted by the government who made much political mileage touting they would provide free services or items, & which the government claimed they would pay the business for. Then they underpaid 50% of the cost of the goods or...

Yeah, they just have to never die & they automatically become exempt!

Well, clearly the writer of this article is biased against an inheritance tax. Such a one sided-report using emotive language such as "now being framed as...", an "idea long abandoned...", "Critics have long dubbed such measures a ‘death tax’...", etc to try & sway us as we make our own...

My current electricity contract is up, & just this week I tried the Vic Gov electricity comparison site, & guess what? Prices are all up on last year. The minster claims one thing using selected data, the consumer reality however is very different. Why should we trust what this government...

Alcohol is clearly the most misused drug in Oz. No one is going to win the battle against that many vested interests. Still, that doesn't make the latest "miracle" drug, medicinal cannabis, anything more than this decade's OxyContin scourge. We won't have to wait long to see. Then people...

I'll give you some credit for asking; I'm a retired medical doctor with D&A experience. And I've come across all the excuses for why someone reckons the "need" cannabis. But I'll imply you're no lawyer - they wouldn't ask a question they don't the answer for or make leading assertions, so they...

In reality, the evidence actually shows in relation to your claim that "Organically grown Cannibas plants is the best medicine for..." » Pain - categorically no. But it has an adjunct role in select cases. » Depression - no. And it interacts dangerously with several medicines that are gold...

Cannabis is a $h!tty drug with excessive side effects for the genuinely naive. Excessive nausea & an analgesic potency marginally better that Panadeine (which they've restricted at Chemists!). It'd never make it onto the prescription list if it went the traditional "research & results" route...

Why didn't Prof Twomey state the real objectives of the Pharmacy Guild's "Toward 2035 strategic plan"? He'd make a great politician. He's stated the (very rubbery) figure to be saved on spending on doctors, but conveniently forgot to tell us how much cost will be spent on Pharmacists instead...

Thus article falsely reports, & many replies state that she was compensated for miscarriage of justice. Many are saying she was wrongly convicted. However the questions raised on the genetics found in her 2 daughters was one which MIGHT have resulted in their deaths (not everyone with this...

Actually, it was on the Victorian state news services last evening & he was charged & pled guilty to causing a public nuisance. It was reported he has mental health issues & is on the spectrum. Using my quasi-psychiatric abilities, it appears the man already wants everyone jumping all over...
