Well, the established western financial system is also run by thieves... Question is, are the two sets of thieves just different arms of the same master?

I can confirm that WA public sector employees get 9.5% super, same as the general public. Not sure for federal or other states.

Please provide some sources to validate your rhetoric. I'm aware that bridging visas for asylum seekers specifically prohibit employment. Upon residency being granted, there may be language and cultural barriers that reduce their ability for find employment, and discrimination also plays it's...

I've worked in retail, wholesale, yard, dayshift, nightshift, floor, desk and classroom. Each has it's place and perks and downsides. I preferred physical labour as it keeps my mind free to wander, and kept me fit. I'm surprised how draining being a mouse jockey can be some days, but not at all...

It sure doesn't hurt, it's the lube that smooths the path. Having it allows more options and comforts. On the flipside, if over-expending your energy in the pursuit of it to the extent which it defines you is effectively locking yourself in a gilded cage. Many of us trade our daily freedom for...

Not my place to argue with your perception of my level of smugness, but it's a stretch to infer an implied support of government intervention. I see you've downgraded the accusation to acceptance though, which I can live with. Doesn't mean I like it, just means it is what it is. I used to rally...

My short term intention is to get it in a decent enough condition to run a B&B or provide lodging for nearby foresters. I'd like it to provide some form of residual income during the intervening years. It's right over the other side of the country so I won't go there often, at most once a year...

Remind me where I espoused a belief in governmental interference? Freedom is in your mind mate, not your wallet.

I've got my eye on some acreage in a remote part of this fine nation, which I'm capable of purchasing without becoming imprisoned by debt via a bank loan, thanks to a healthy enough balance in my SMSF created with esuper, held in a CBA Accel cash account. Has anyone been down this road before...

Freedom was relatively easy in colonial times. Just avoid settlements and don't give anyone a reason to come looking for you. Freedom doesn't come from whinging about the system, it comes from working within it until you can effectively remove yourself from it. The cost of liberty is security...

At Walmart, HR decides employees don't need a wage which frees them from reliance on the food stamps the government has decided they need to survive, paid for by taxes they purport to need to collect from those who appear to have more than is needed. While the employees might decide they need a...

I'm always mildly amused by those who want freedom from the financial system's rules, yet still want to live with the benefits of a financial system. If you want freedom, stop measuring things in dollars and start figuring out how to live a simple and "uncivilized" life.

I think you meant sell orders at 0.028. And yep, dreaming.

Question best posed to a CPA, or JFGI :P http://www.supermate.com.au/blog/73-winding-up-a-smsf-written-by-mark-ellem

In specie payments must be URNP, and are subject to CGT at market rates.

Don't think that's actual sales, it's market depth based on current unresolved buy and sell orders.

If consumption hits zero and all income goes to servicing debt, we've effectively returned to slavery and growth/inflation becomes irrelevant.

Good idea to softly bite gold coins. If they taste like chocolate, it's a fake.

Been rock solid in Perth over my lunch break.

Is user message export a possibility? FWIW,I deleted most of mine a few days ago.
