But that means there’s effectively no tax paid on the income that goes from the company to someone who pays no tax since the refund is the amount the company has already paid

That’s not fair to the rest of society who pay tax on their earnings towards government services etc and different to the maccas kid who is actually working to earn their money

Only if they fall under the tax free threshold that everyone gets
 
Seriously don't understand the opposition to removing cash refunds for excess franking credits.

Double taxation will still be avoided.

And if people are really that needy they can access welfare like everyone else.

Know someone in management at WA miner, they said he has been excellent to deal with sorting out issues with running things during the virus outback.
 
I just wanted to say this does not represent my country. I sincerely apologize to this news crew. Trump is NOT my president and does nothing but spew hate and far right xenophobic remarks. Sadly, America lacks the national leadership to move the county forward past the killing of George Floyd and other black men and women at the hands of law enforcement.

What a sad day in America that this has to happen. I am embarrassed. It will be a long night for law enforcement across the county as they try to handle the riots that will likely increase due to the irresponsible decision of our president to basically invoke Marshal Law.

To my Aussie footy friends, don’t judge all Americans by the foolishness and ignorance of a few. November election is fast approaching.

Aussie news crew bashed by US police

Watch the moment police in riot gear violently set upon a 7NEWS crew covering White House protests over the police killing of George Floyd.

He only has one objective: re-election. He knows by November the riots will be over and he'll take credit for returning law and order. If that manages to fool the people into re-electing him, who are the real nutters?
 
Trump doubles down when faced with opposition.
Always has, always will.
The fact that he lectures people on behaviour, just encapsulates the hypocrisy!
He's a Dictator, who communicates bile

To jump on the Trump train

I truly dont understand how anyone can listen to him for more than 1 minute and think, yes, this is the man I want to lead my country. This is the main I idolise.

I get if you associate with right wing policies ( I consider myself quite central) but I dont understand how you can idolise someone who sounds like he lost half his brain at some point

It’s baffling. But it is the USA after all and after years of having a silver tongue who sounded great but did SFA Other than talk, I guess the yanks wanted something different.

Trump is to the right of idiot !!!!!. How the F did he get past the party selection process !!!.

On the other hand, who do they have to take over ?. Lack of leaders is what I see.

Tearing down everything Obama started to build, especially diplomacy.

Agree.

Compare the British & USAers. The Brits will openly tell you all their faults, the USAers think they are world leaders and everyone should love them for what they do.

The riots will end early when the second wave of Covid hits when we start having real conversations about why black men are shot while innocently jogging in their own neighborhoods, shot and killed or mamed or injured because the cop felt "threatened", why black men are scared to wear covid masks to the stores, and why too many law enforcement are not properly trained to handle these situations.

EFA. I wasn't going to respond to the responses to my post, but I can't let this go. This short term thinking is exactly how Trumpers think and how distraction from the real issue is the modus operandi. Stop the riots and you've stopped the problem, right?

Here are some facts about Minneapolis you won't hear on Fake (Fox) News:
Poverty rate: White 7%, Black 32% (biggest gap in the country)
Home ownership: White 76%, Black 24%
Unemployment: White 3%, Black 8% (this was before covid)
More info here: https://www.startribune.com/how-did...e-most-racially-inequitable-states/547537761/

No, the riots will NOT stop when the second wave of covid hits. The riots will stop when we look directly at the problem, no matter how much it hurts, and work on solutions together.

holybishop, I don't know if you are really a bishop, but in case you want to hear what a the very real Bishop Marianne Budde, who oversees St. John's Episcopal Church, thinks of Trump's use of a Bible and her church as a prop after he tear gassed peaceful protesters so he could walk and take his photo op. Spoiler alert: She wasn't too happy.


To all, let's not clog this thread up with this garbage. If you want to continue this, please PM me, especially you holybishop :) After watching that Aussie cameraman get punched in the face and gut and reading how both were also hit with rubber bullets, I wanted to reach out to this community to let you know this does not represent all of America.

Having lived in London for a couple of years & spending some time in the USA, I would much rather spend time with Americans than Brits in general, but the current situation over there with the orange marshmallow running the show has me questioning just how much they really care about how their country is run

The riots aren’t about race or equality, they’re extreme left vs extreme right with a fair chunk of dumb thugs and criminal lowlifes involved. Hopefully they wipe each other out.

David Dorn, retired St. Louis police captain, killed by looters

A retired St. Louis police captain killed by people who broke into a pawn shop after protests turned violent was a gregarious and outspoken leader who mentored youths and insisted on strict ethical conduct among his employees, a longtime colleague said Tuesday.

Complete anarchy for the sake of it
