I think the more important question is whether you think the system is a good one. Should our tax income streams look like this?

If you look at OECD countries, Australia is in the top tier of countries that get more revenue from company tax. Where we appear to be quite low, is GST / VAT. A lot of countries get more tax revenue from consumption, which would suggest the GST should increase.

Have you read why? Does an airline or cruise operator pay tax during COVID when they book billions of dollars in losses? What about if you invest billions in a capital project to extract and process natural gas?
20-30% of ASX Top 500 listed companies make an operating loss in any given year. Make no profit = pay no income tax.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said the Israeli military will expand its campaign against Hezbollah: “We will reach wherever the organisation operates, in Beirut, Damascus and in more distant places.”
What’s in the US’s latest arms packages to Israel?
Despite expressing concern about civilian casualties in Gaza, the US White House has green-lighted more major shipments of arms and military equipment to Israel in recent days. The packages include:

That's because they choose not to. They choose to expand their balance sheet instead or invest into future revenue rather than paying tax.
People carry on about individuals negative gearing - multiple it by a heap with corporations.

I rarely if ever have voted for what was in my interest. Although coming to Australia with just a change of clothing to our name our family has done okay.
I look at what is for the greater good for low to middle income earners, environment and the future.
Which is why I split my vote Labor/Greens.
It is more Council elections that are a pain.

When working I would always take out extra tax so wouldn't have to pay at the end of the year. Didn't have many legitimate expenses to offset.
One year I found that I had to pay something like a couple of hundred dollars and was really annoyed with myself so decided to delay filing return. They eventually wrote to me asking why I hadn't filed a return. I said I had (during the times when mailing in), had a copy when in fact was the one I didn't send. Anyway wasn't fined and eventually they accepted 'lost in the mail' and I paid.

The US taxpayer should really be demanding a more efficient delivery service to Gaza.
Why isnt the US delivering its bombs with these crates of aid??? It seems madness to deliver this aid below and then sell bombs to the Israelis and allow them to do the bombing. Why not combine the deliveries????

They are probably delivering the bombs in the planes they have also given them. Just pack the bombs in the bomb bays and they can be dropped shortly after taking delivery. And this is Biden and the Democrats doing this rather than the out of control Trump people. American politics is a cesspit of questionable allegiances and immoral policy and action in which there is little separating the two parties.

Is your question one of policy or administration?, I.e if the system is a given, it is operating well (administration question) or is the system wrong (policy questions). I’m not being pedantic, but it’s an important differentiation, similar to are the police effective in policing the laws we have or is the law rubbish.

It seems that the Oppenheimer film opened in Hiroshima a few days back. Apparently, some of the japanese who watched it didnt understand the americans celebrating the success of detonating the bomb.....strange eh....maybe they havent been educated into the american way of thinking...

I found it interesting to see so many Japanese at Pearl Harbor.
I can’t recall anyone celebrating the bombing in the movie though

interpret it as you like
Oppenheimer has just been released in Japan - so what do people in Hiroshima think?
The BBC’s Shaimaa Khalil spoke with Hiroshima residents who saw the film for the first time today.

Yes I agree. That media bias site has proved useful. I dont rely on it but it's useful to confirm bias after i make my own evaluation. Good work SR.

it was a compliment on your information... i just had a look at the epoch times which somehow had got into my email list and your media bias site confirmed what i thought of it. I was merely posting about the usefulness of your info. Should I gush more?

Other than the usual israeli attacks on hospitals and journalists and general civilians, it is very quiet at the moment....almost too quiet. It's been a week since blinken or biden have called for israel to not cross a various coloured line....red line blue line whatever. The obsession with coloured lines appears to reflect a strange fascination with geometric shapes.
Meanwhile netinyahoo has been in hospital....which is rather ironic....to supposedly get a hernia implanted...but sources say that a monkey's heart has been put in. You would think that doctors would consider the greater good when they were involved in these activities.
It seems that we're at a stage where we are waiting for the american public to get more disinterested in gaza than usual, even as $4billion of their money is spent on bomb to kill more innocent civilians.

I thought you had put my "I'm worthwhile" comment through a mediabias website? I don't think I want to know the results.
