Actually; you may be surprised. I am a capitalist pig, and my main motivation is to make obscene amounts of money so I never have to work again, then spend all my time playing golf, sailing, travel, family, etc - but also give time and money to those in need such as homeless youth etc...

Fantastic result, Lib. Might I add; even the "normal" IP is a social purpose - providing housing for those who are not able to be in a purchased property at the time. This is often the aspect of PI (that folks who aren't doing it and criticise us) - even though we are LL's and get the returns...

I wasn't looking at this Economy situation with my business owner's hat on so much actually - just a bloke who was pulling in all the various aspects of the rhetoric we keep hearing and thought I'd do a few basic numbers. I guess my business owner hat comes on when I see one thing happening...

Here's a bit of a read; http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/climate-guru-brace-for-massive-cover-up/ And this; http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/live-blizzard-set-to-wallop-no/41251974

Yep; I have been sent the same letter for the last 3 years and have declined each year. I am too lazy to check, and would shudder to think how much - I pay each year for various insurances - money that is primarily wasted for the most part. Could be worse I guess; could be a Physician's...

It was; otherwise why even think the idea up? It will have no effect at all. What myth? Andrew Bolt has attempted to obtain from several various Politicians, experts and scientists involved in this mentality, an answer to how much the world's temperature would be reduced if we proceeded with...

The people who use them have ultimately turned them into a hurt to the economy. I hate pokies. Mindless. The idea behind them was great; provide more revenue dollars to the Gubb, and an entertainment source for the users. BUT; it's a double-edged sword; many venues do well out of them and...

How do you assess those who need it and those who don't? From my memory, most industries in Aus have continually won improvements to workers' conditions and remuneration. I don't know the figures on whether the average wage has gone backwards in real terms over the last 40 years that I'm aware...

What does this even mean? I think I can speak for all business owners here in that we all want to make money, we all want to expand our business, employ more staff, improve the economy as a whole...it starts with the next customer though. If you are referring to inequality; there has...

Well, explain your position. Is your mindset that Companies need encouragement, or are they evil monsters who rip off the little guys, are greedy and should be punished, and so forth? How do you see the problem of the deficit being resolved? One thing I forgot to mention; we also have a...

I'm not of the mindset to penalise the rich, and take away incentives for business owners. It doesn't matter how many zeros are on the end of the business's bottom line; if you take away the incentives, job losses are a result. Mining is currently experiencing a massive slide, so we need to go a...

I do, and have always seen it, but the Pollies don't want to touch it because it is a guaranteed vote loser.... Look how much the Country squealed when they threatened to take $5 out of their pocket for the copay. And yet; seems everyone can afford a pack if cigs, a take-away coffee, a...

I don't think they were. The graph showed a Medicare increase. :confused:

Maybe some good news then. Why would JB say it was blowing out though? It does show in the second graph that Medicare expenditure is increasing. :confused: The problem is the GDP I think. Mining and manufacture are down the toilet currently, so is the graph a prediction? It could be still...

We who can pay already do so through our Medicare Levy. Folks with healthcare cards already get looked after. So do pensioners I believe. When I go to the Doc - which is almost never - I pay about $36 out of pocket from memory. I reckon that's a fair deal. I haven't been for a couple of...

Now, I am not very smart financially. So, what I say here may be totally wrong and I am happy to be corrected, but... This morning Julie Bishop was saying on the breakfast teev and ABC news that Medicare was currently costing Taxpayers $20B per year, and would escalate to $30B in 10(?) years...
