  • Three million?! Who the hell has that much?

    80,000 rich Australians, mostly its via an SMSF and they dump.assents in ther to avoid ..paying tax , whihc is the entire point of this.

    Personally i think the Greens $2Million cap thats indexed is a better idea but Im sure Albo will die on that cross with his hatred of The Greens as he's now trying to work with the LNP to get it through the Senate instead.

  • The irony if the endless artickes in the AfR decrying how unfair it all is.

    Running alongside articles about how terrible it is there hasn't been tax reform for 24 years

    It's the same whenever the possibility of death taxes are raised, I am always bemused how the average person is outraged by this, as though a high tax on say >$10Million inheritance is some sort of outrage but inherited dynastic wealth that leads to vast inequality and political manipulation isn't. Let alone it was often made off the back of generous tax subsidies in the first place, like large super balances.

  • Same with Boost, I just don't use my piefed account becase no Boost support..

  • People have fogotten what heaphones are for on phones.

  • Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh.. I'd love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren't, like Taylor Swift don't need more supoort.

  • I think thays a good compromise. if you then have an issie with a particular user you can block them individually.

  • Australia @aussie.zone

    WA had its hottest summer ever, but climate change and heat-related health problems barely made the news

  • I don't log in to YT to watch any videos, I alao use Newpipe and Stube sans account. Grouping them in Tabs to get to is great for me.

  • I'm wondering how to connect to an org? I have no kids, had a vasectomy decades ago over concerns about world population and biodiversity issues.. I keep my carbon emissions low and vote Green. Seems to me I give more fucks about a future livable planet for other peoples children then many parents do but that aside.

    Anyone aware of a genuine community org that might be interested in me leaveing them my modest house and they can use it to house people ? I am guessing they'll get fucked over with stamp duty though for the title transfer, so maybe a modest sum to cover that for them as well?

    Currently my will specifies everything is liquidated and then distributing the proceeds to reputable charities so, maybe that still makes more sense?

  • I find Edges grouped tabs well implemented, not sure why Firefox doesnt move this way natively?

    As to 14 tabs, I'd have 50 or more

  • I was expecting a hot day (by Tassie standards, being from Far NQ originally all those years ago) up here in the NE as well but my little weather station showed 24.6 as the max for the day. But it is why I moved here, cooler, wetter, 300m ASL.

  • Pretty much this but another point of difference with say the US is that (Utes) (trucks) in Australia would be classified as "cars" and not commercial vehicles. Which is why you can see so many giant fuck off trucks in the US, they're not part of the legislation ... loopholes. Currently they want Government to have the same loophole as the US, so Toyota -> Hilux Ford -> Ranger etc can keep bringing in their big sellers with no penalty,

  • Rule

    Jump
  • As an Austrian I can only agree,

  • I did something similar and just sent a link to Signal when IPhone friends and family SMS'd me, worked....eventually :) (am on Android)

  • As an Australian, either.do I. They are in Mastodon and I have pointed out that being in Australia should make them a no go for anyone.
