fyi another interesting one to watch from the budget ... GST now imposed on companies providing services / software/gaming sales like netflix
however the government hasnt worked out how the hell they are going to collect this lolll ...
What were you expecting?
Everyone in this Country needs to get real, and the Gubbs need to get honest and deliver the necessary bad news to our society;
Better than using $100 and getting $63 I guess, conservative approach, don't spend it until you have actually got it
Let me explain.
Firstly, an aged pensioner that has worked all their life, scrimped and saved to make something of themselves and to support themselves in their old age SHOULD have a much better income than those that have been dependant on welfare their whole lives.
That $823k is all assets. Take away the furnishings, cars, jewellery and all the other 'things' that people have in their homes, and that figure is much less. Once you remove all other assets, it could be around $500k, in shares, property, super etc. That really isn't a lot, and when it's gone, they are in the same position as someone who had the same income over the years, but chose to spend it all, or someone who sat around and never did anything.
They are an easy target, and can't really complain. They're also not the first priority for Australian support.
Yes. See the comments below yours. Let's tax anyone without a vote 100%!
"People from overseas coming to Australia on a working holiday will no longer be eligible for the $18,000 tax free threshold, and instead have to pay tax at 32.5 per cent on every dollar they earn up to $80,000."
Thats a bit rough.
It's rough because these taxpayers are generally young and generally don't use or qualify for the expensive parts of the feds expenditure - childcare, welfare, education, health and aged care.
And so it begins... they needed to hashtag this article with #firstworldproblems
What's in it for me? Is that the right question? Sigh.

I may be a Lib voter, but I'm not a one-eyed voter.i was expecting you to start protecting the government.
and you delivered
totally support govt getting honest. but i think it should happen before the elections, not after.
if the government promises one thing before the election and then finds excuses to break virtually every promise - they deserve the boot.

Then you would never have a Govt.
That's it. lets have no Govt because they ALL lie after the election.
Can anyone name a Govt that didn't "lie" at some stage?
Has anyone changed their mind in their private life because circumstances have changed?
Would it be considered a lie?
I don't want to turn this into a Lib/Lab slug fest,some lie more than others
in this particular case Tony even lied about his government being the government that will not backflip on promises. how pathetic.
circumstances always change. no govt could be better than a govt that cannot even plan for a year.
After 18 months, Tony's mob hasn't done anywhere near as bad as your mob did; do you really want them back?
Tony's mob are making progress; it's merely slower than anticipated.
are you for real? they are doing the opposite of what they promised. how's that progress?
the end of mining boom has been talked about for as long as i can remember. even on this forum. it's a pretty poor excuse to use for covering the incompetence.
if you wanna compare first 18months of Rudd's mob vs first 18 months of Tony's mob, you'll probably find that Tony will lose out.
Tony even managed to get his own party against him much quicker than Rudd did
You wouldn't trust the current mob of Labor pollies to run a School canteen. They'd probably want to put pink batts in the ceiling!
Easily settled with facts. Now, we know the ABC isn't pro the Abbott governmentare you for real? they are doing the opposite of what they promised. how's that progress?
