Yes but the problem as AusPM pointed out is that we are being screwed on the absolute necessities of life - shelter, education, health, gas, water and electricity. Not much we can do there.
Haha yeah, I noticed that too. Back before he was so well known, and didn't have so many grey hairs. I think some shows would be a bit scared put him on now, in case he got out of control
Apparently the departure tax for leaving Australia jumped from $48 to $55 in this budget, and is now linked to CPI as well so it will keep going up.
A tax linked to an underquoted CPI - haha, people will be paying it with their spare vending machine change on the way out in a few years.
Got a Bike? "It would make more sense for the toll road network in Sydney to be tolled on utilisation based formulae, for example per kilometre travelled and/or differing time charges," the report said. It recommended the treasury and Infrastructure NSW investigate toll arrangements and provide options to the government on opportunities to make the toll road network more efficient.
This will never happen, someone surely will have the light turn on and realise that this will increase congestion in places like the city. Imagine how much the demand would rise if people knew the cost of commuting was going higher the further out you lived from Sydney?
What's this "soon?" When was the last time you bought fuel? Did you pay GST on the tax component of that fuel? Or when was the last time you registered a new car? Did you pay tax on the GST and other taxes on that car? Nuff said.
