I'm surprised he hasn't locked it already. :)

Mate, go back and please point out to me where I have attacked you. And by the way, your assumptions about me are way off base. Have a nice day.

Thankyou for proving TF's point about zealotry and half-truths.

That sounds fair enough. Nice answer. :)

Of course, the donation you made is tax deductible. Do you whinge all the time, or is it only most of the time? PS - If you have to pay $1000, then your taxable income is at least $175,000. If the $1000 amuont is based on joint income, then your incomes are over $200,000. So stop complaining.

So hyperbole = journalism? Interesting take...

Just to check. Are you comparing trained scientists, experts in their field to the people in the audience of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

For the 14 people around Australia who salary sacrifice into super and earn Less than 18k, they need to lodge. But not EVERYONE who gets super, as you suggest. You have a problem with detail and facts. Research the difference between super guarantee and reportable super. Show me where it...

You have an issue with detail, Bluestorm, which is painfully obvious to anyone who has read your posts. You don't understand the difference between the mandatory 9% superannuation guarantee, and the Reportable amount, which are extra amounts. You don't need to lodge a tax return if you just...

Again you have failed. Reportable superannuation is EXTRA superannuation above the 9%, that hardly anyone earning less than $18k would have. People sacrifice salary into superannuation to save tax, so why would people pay 15% tax in a super fund, when they could take the salary tax free? You...

I pretty much agree Tom, but my post was more about posts by Bluey and Ned and others. Their main objection was that the globe is cooling, so this tax is a stupid idea.

Wrong again Bluestorm. You don't need to file a tax return if you don't have to pay tax. Where did you get your information?

The people here are hardly zealots. I, for one, just trust the scientists, who are much more qualified and intelligent than I. I'm also hoping they will come up with some fixes in the future. Mate, you sound hysterical. Have a cup of tea and a lie down. But don't put too much water in...

Say hello to Lord Monkton for me...

What do you mean 'tax people'? The income tax people pay will be reduced by these changes, because of the increase to the tax free threshold. People on $80,000 or over will be paying very slightly less (about $16 a year) than they are now. As there were no changes to the higher rates, taxes...

Obviously Bluestorm saw he first post, but somehow:rolleyes: missed the second one.

It's not an alarmist warning, I was just presenting some facts that you had conveniently left out. Sure, temparatures have cooled in the last 10 years, and it's hardly been hidden by scientists. But 10 years' figures is what statisticians would call a small sample size. There's no way to know...

Great post. It staggers me that people are willing to throw out all the evidence and the opinion of thousands of scientists just because they don't like what they hear. Instead they say, 'the globe is cooling' and give meaningless guarantees, ignoring 200 years of data to focus on the last...

Your hysteria amuses me. The good people of his electorate had the opportunity to vote for the National Party candidate, and they chose not to. Of course, they may choose to at the next election... But I hope you are joking when you call his decision 'treason'. Let's calm down a bit, people.

I understand your first point, I was just making a general point about finding a cheaper alternative. If prices go up, people look for a cheaper alternative regardless of what their income does. As for your $200 dinner, fine, but then why are you bleating about the tax? This tax is going to...
