Oh man, i always miss this stuff then suddenly realise when i see the deleted posts checking older post comment sections.

Yeah, hopefully they're both back and happy again at some point. Cheers for the news.

Baku's gone again?

Why not have a day that we can all celebrate?

Yep. It'd be nice.

Not outdated, just different to yours.

Its not useful to the vandals cause, whether sov-cits or Indigenous Australians, i've assumed its the latter in the rest of this comment.

I want to underline that i think there's a place in Nation State democracies for civil disobedience, and violence as well to be used, just not in this case.

For the indigenous cause against aussie/invasion day its not the best way forward. You just create culture war fodder for powerful cunts to divide the nation with, especially in times of political stress.

The arguments that have taken this day from a July 4th-esque euphoric celebratory day to a quieter celebration are the civil arguments about the divisiveness about the date. It attacks the concept, not people, and thats something everybody can engage with, not become defensive against.

To boot, this argument is winning, every year Australia day comes round theres less flags, theres less parties, theres less of a thing made about the day.

As an example look at Dutton's red meat to the base, 'i won't stand in front of a flag, mate!', in the lead up to today. Didn't exactly set the world on fire, it was pathetic and shallow.

Yeah, i don't understand that. Pretty sure Phillip was the terra nulious proponent, so it boggles the mind why you'd go after a Cook statue before the Phillip statue if you're indigenous Australian. Which means you're probably right.

Yeah, maybe if it was the words on its own, but also knocking off Rudds head? That doesn't make much sense.

My first thought was aussie day related, but Rudd is a PM who actually did something meaningful, symbolic, but still meaningful.

Interesting, judging by who was taken, and the words, "the commonwealth will fall" sounds like maybe sov cits?

I found that such a shallow use of a very unique sort of political leverage.

Morally they have to be given a chance, not for them, but for the millions who may now have a chance for a more peaceful life.

Australia's relatively normal practice waiting for the US to decide and following along can be dropped with the new administration.

Theres no evidence that this practice would be appreciated by the incoming administration. In fact its probably more likely to be sneered at by them. Better to formulate policy in line with what is best for Australia's interests now, that being a 'stable and freer world'.

Seems like a fairly reasonable idea. A bit Listian, which is in line with the way the economic/political world is turning now. Mild industry protections, like this seems, could be very useful for Australia.

I've done this before. Its a good idea.

You haven't considered all the possible intended outcomes the participants envisage in the consumption of the icecream.

It may generally be agreed that strawberry is best, therefore, everyone takes strawberry as their first choice until it runs out, and then maybe vanilla is eaten, the final flavour, chocolate, is finally consumed because there is no other choice and by the time you reach the chocolate all the participants, while agreeing chocolate is the worst, also now have a mild sugar addiction that requires satiation.

In this case the work of consuming the worst flavour is postponed in favour of all participant's greater enjoyment of earlier scoops, rather than endured as a necessary part of every scoop.

Also scooping across the flavours spreads the chocolate across everything.

Also chocolate doesn't belong in icecream, it belongs in bars.

.....

Why yes, chocolate is my least fav! How did you guess?

Gee sounds like you've had a year. Gipe the plan goes smoothly from here on for ya then. :)

Oh right, i see what you mean. Its avoiding double taxation of the same monies.

Because the employees pay is taxed also, if the tax office were to tax the whole $10,000 it would mean they effectively tax the same set of money twice. In this example that $5000 of employee wages would be taxed first as business tax, then as income tax.

Your kidding. Thats ridiculous. Are you doing it in stages due to the cost, or where your at with reno's?

I've never been a business owner, but i've heard about the extra costs, usually from bosses complaints about their inability to pay more.

Interestingly, i've never heard about the tax break you mention.

I's under the impression payroll tax, and insurance were the biggest extra costs to employing people. If theres a general tax break to those, then i have witnessed some rather convincing crocodile tears in my time.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

We are going to end up killing any drive for innovation because the rewards are diminishing and being stolen by people who lucked out by being born in better situations.

This is going to become an increasingly correct sentiment. And as you say, at its core, the issue is how we're dividing land ownership rights.

The great thing about Australia, is everyone knows no-one has an inalienable right to any piece of land. Whehther its been demonstrated by eminent domain from the government, the knowledge that it all rests in this amorphous thing called 'the crown', or, happily, the very active and oft discussed indigenous land rights.

I say 'happily' because in this case the often strained discussions and legal cases around an Aboriginal Nation asserting a claim serves the whole community to remind us that there is always other stakeholders in the land we might have passing control over, whereas eminent domain isn't used widely, or as often, so people tend to forget about it.

She is telling you how she goes about making decisions i.e. deferring to authority.

This is really insightful. Thanks.

Well, economic activity could be boosted by a policy to remove this stuff, thus, said line would go up.

I suppose its the opportunity cost each government faces, set up an ongoing fund and market for the removal of asbestos, adding economic activity, but not really building anything of tangible value, or build another highway, or something.
