  • I worked for ITP for a tax season way back in the day. Did a 12 week course that CES subsidised and voila I was a professional. The base cost was like $79 (30 odd years ago) and it was the equivalent of filling in your name and address details in the current system and pressing submit. Every other box that we filled in was an extra $5, unless you had business income. Anyway, some people came in because it was cheaper than an accountant and they couldn’t be arsed doing it themselves the rest were just people with no clue. The number of arguments I had with people telling them that “I could claim your uniform laundry expenses but it won’t change your refund, because you are already getting all of you tax back and I will just have to charge you more money now” was mind boggling.

    Filling out the basics of a tax return should be taught in school, it’s not hard.

  • Your argument is driven by racism. The same old tired racist arguments that have been floating around since time immemorial.

    “People are just claiming they are Aboriginal to get government handouts”

    “They’re not really asylum seekers they are economic migrants looking for government handouts”

    “They are going to create a new level of government so they can claim government handouts”

    They are not getting inequitable representation. They are effectively being given a constitutionally recognised lobby group. The Government of the day will be able to completely ignore them like they ignore climate scientists and environmentalists.

    Ok yes. “But then why does it need to be in the constitution” because the Coalition disbanded every non constitutionally recognised group that has ever been created.
