Income Tax Changes from 01.07.12. Tax Free Threshold now 18200

[errol43]

Just curious ... this f... "flood levy" which we've been slogged with since 1 July 2011 and that was supposed to be "temporary" ... I has assumed that it would only be for a year, so anybody know whether we'll NOT be paying that from 1 July 2012??

jeezz I hate these barstads.... :lol:

What about the milk levy. 10 cent a litre..Dairy Industry was to be more efficient...Result Victoria with the most efficient farms going ok but dairy farmers in QLD and NSW going out of business...Hope there is never an outbreak of mad cows disease in Australia..

Once these levies are introduced, they never get rescinded but go into consolidated revenue.

What gets me is all the people that I know that voted labor because remember Julia said we needed change, well how is that change going???
Now they complain and I agree with the other statement further back about the budgee smuggler...

The flood tax is going, replaced with the Super theft tax for the "rich" (who paid the vast majority of the flood tax anyway).

The $18k tax free limit should have been that years ago. But they giveth with one hand and they taketh away with the other:

The first marginal tax rate will be increased from 15 per cent to 19 per cent,

The second marginal tax rate will be increased from 30 per cent to 32.5 per cent

Just more wealth redistribution, except this time it's not just the "rich" getting shafted.

What a bunch of socialist w*nkers.

Not to sound like another conspiracy nutter, but i've heard that Gillard is a UN puppet. Dunno how true that is but it's worth throwing around ideas, who really know. But if that is the case then labor may get in again.

Her policies have been so economically destructive that I can only assume that someone is paying her to bring Australia down to the economic level of Europe.

Something is going on thats for sure, its pretty obvious aust is getting 'managed' to suit a particular agenda.

Sounds like a clone of Helen Clark.

Would anyone on these forums actually vote for these idiots?

Would anyone in the country, apart from the mentally insane, actually vote for these idiots?

Dont worry there will be another flood coming to you soon .............Watchout.

Oh another gripe...........Desal plants........ SA goverment says " We are increasing Water & Sewrage rates to cover the cost of the $1.8billion dollar investment"

I bet your sweet ass the rates wont come down after we the stupid tax payer pay for it ........WTF do we need a Desal plant when dams and reservoirs are at there highest peak for years. Wouldnt it be smart to harvest all the stormwater, recycle or treat this water and then use for consumption is some way, shape or form?

Desal plants cost a shitload in power, so the poor tax payer has to foot the bill................bet your ass SA Water dont pay the power tariffs we pay grrrrrrrrrrrr

Paul Cacia (Water minister for SA), trust me bud I wont be swerving if I see you on a road somewhere

Bolt: But, Tim I'm wondering to what extent are you to blame for rising scepticism about some of the more alarming claims about global warming.

Flannery: Well, many of the things that scientists highlight may happen are very alarming. They're not alarmist but they are worrisome. Rises in sea level for instance are a significant issue.

Bolt: Well, let's go through some of your own claims. You said, for example, that Adelaide may run out of water by early 2009. Their reservoirs are half full now. You said Brisbane would probably run out of water by 2009. They are now 97 per cent full. And (you said) Sydney could be dry as early as 2007. Their reservoirs are also more than half full. How can you get away with all these claims?

Flannery: What I have said is that there is a water problem. They may run out of water.

Bolt: 100 per cent full, nearly! Flannery: And thankfully, Andrew, governments have taken that to heart and been building some desalination capacity such as in Perth. Bolt: Only in Perth. Flannery: No, there's plans in every capital city

Now who to blame? The person who made the ridiculous predictions or the person who believed them and acted on them (uniformatarians = stoooopid!!)

Not a single new dam has been built to supply an Australian capital city since Melbourne's Thomson Dam was hooked up in 1984 - with the sole exception of South-East Queensland 's Wyaralong dam, completed just in time for these recent rains to start filling it.

In that time:

- Every capital city on the mainland has been subjected to water restrictions

- NSW banned the Welcome Reef dam in 2002 in on environmental grounds.

- The Rudd Government banned a mega-dam on Queensland's Mary River to "save" the lungfish.

- The Victorian Labor Government turned a dam reservation on the fast-flowing Mitchell River into a national park instead to stop any new dam.

- The Mitchell has since flooded twice, with one flood sending more water to waste in the sea than Melbourne uses in a year.

- The Queensland and Victorian Labor Governments nevertheless claimed global warming would dry up the rains anyway, making a new dam useless.

- Queensland built instead a $1.1 desalination plant, now mothballed because of the rains.

- Victoria built instead a $5.7 billion desalination plant, costing four times the price of a new dam for a third of the water.

Dam you greenies! Such a waste

Thankfully I'm not a calf so milk prices don't concern me in the slightest
