Australian government wants to close a loophole allowing families with incomes of more than $100,000 to save their joint tax return and reduce their federal tax bill by paying income tax on that income.

For the last few years, I've had an idea that I'm extremely passionate about. I've been experimenting with a way to tax people who don't use electricity but still own or have a zero-emission appliance. If they keep on using it, they pay nothing. But if they don't, they get slapped with a $350-a-month power bill. If they stop using it, the government gets the money back, and if they don't, it gets taken from them. I've been very persistent on this. I've been in the government for four years now, and we've been trying to get a bill that actually makes sense. It's a way to make sure people pay their bills, not just get them, and to ensure we don't have a black market where people are getting ripped off. The problem is that there isn't enough support in the government for this. It would be incredibly difficult to get through. Especially since the opposition doesn't want to get into a tax fight with the government. They've been talking about it for weeks, but it's been very difficult to convince them. It's not going to work. It's going to cost us. And if we don't get a bill that actually makes sense, it'll just go to the government. That's how it is. It's not like there's a huge difference between a zero-emission and a zero-energy appliance. The biggest issue I've had is getting it through to the government. I've been talking to a lot of different people, but it's been really hard to convince them. They've been arguing about it for weeks. Even the energy minister has been involved. The problem is, I have to convince the government that it's worth the effort, and that it's a win win situation for everyone. But I don't think that's enough. I've been thinking of a different way. I've been talking to a bunch of different energy companies. I've even been talking to the government. The thing is, none of them have been able to get it through the government. They've been fighting like crazy over it. They've been arguing about the costs and benefits of different technologies, trying to get the government to buy their products. And they've been very successful. They've built large coalitions, got government grants, and they've been very successful. But I've decided that it's going to take something really big to get it through to the government. Something that's going to cost a lot, but ultimately benefit a lot. It's going to take something that's going to be a lot, and very difficult. I've got a solution. It's called a “massive open source project”. It involves capturing the vast amounts of power that would be produced by the vast amounts of energy that would be captured and stored in the storage facilities and then what would be produced. And then use to power the things. That combined thermal power plants, and that’s what I’ve been talking about. I think is going to make a huge difference. I think it’s going to take something really big. It's going to take decades to get it through, billions of dollars to get it done, but it’s going to be done in a sustainable ways that are incredibly difficult and take a lot of time to get done. The idea. And even then the governments to get it done. But it’s going to be done, it. That’s the only way I think it could get it done. It’s going to be done. But I’m going to keep the start with the big institutions, big, and very fast, and have to get it done. The idea is that instead of everyone watching, everyone watching and discussing the project from the start. Everyone being watched, everyone being watched, to everyone being watched. Everyone being watched, but me. And I’ve decided to start from the start it. I am going to start a company that is going to invest $2.5bn into it, and be the first company to do something truly amazing. I think it, do something really big. The thing is going to change the world. Something big. Something that’s going to be a catalyst for the world, it’s going to be a catalyst to change the world. And I’m going to change the world.

Dear Reddit (and other internet communication platforms),\xa0This is actually a great opportunity for us - since residential net metering will soon be fully implemented in many places around Europe, it's now entirely possible/even likely we'll see widespread adoption of self-generated 'net metering' as a whole.
The issue here is twofold; firstly how do those who want basic income (or at least minimal net) adapt to such a situation? On the one hand, providing control over their own time and space can really help alleviate stress and anxiety, especially when planning what to do ahead (especially if there's no reliable meter available). On the other... It's basically asking everyone to pay taxes*. If net neutrality were to come to pass, all users would be charged equally regardless whether they provide services or not (so long municipal responsibility)\xa03 There's obvious solutions out there already; look into project-based payment options like Decibel or Raft. But personally.... In all seriousness.. This is a conversation I'd be willing to have with my wife, partner AND myself

I agree, it’s time to change.

It’s also not true that no longer a valid option means the government won't pay for its tax bills. But that means it won’t do any better at the moment. It’s a major risk to the country as this would reduce the supply chain and tax base to such a degree that they’ll never be able to get the taxes right back.

We have a huge problem

! "And what do you call a woman?"
How good of me...\u200b[removed]"That is correct."<||eost|"Good to hear that you're alright."*[removing reference point from previous message]

In this scenario, it is all revenue lost, as people would no longer have any means of paying taxes on the income they make. People would have to work more hours per week to pay the same taxes on their income that they paid when they purchased their home. People would also have to pay a higher tax on income, and for those in work, their pay would be lower. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note: this was an exchange I had with my partner when she lost her income tax benefit under the previous Labor government. We see it as one boon for small business owners but another blow for those struggling just to get by in a low cost environment. [removed]

I’m Australian and my partner and I’m on $100k a year. I just went on holiday with her in New York but I’m in Australia for a few days, and we were going to do our Christmas trip, but my partner’s expenses are higher than the $100k she gets so we have to pay extra. We’re about to do some shopping and I was on a short weekend, so she had a few things in her basket, and she was bringing her own items which are “harder material” as she says, so it was a little hard to keep track of where things were. It’s a little embarrassing to be the only one who can’t wear a bra in Australia, but I’ll take it. We ended up doing our Christmas shopping and her shopping was $50k lower than the last time we shopped together, so that was a blow for me. We went on to spend the day at a different part of the country, and it was a lovely time in the country. There was lots to see and feel and eat and we had loads of drinks. I am so proud of my partner and I love her so much, but sometimes I wonder if I am part of the problem or maybe it’s the other way around. I just want to get away from it all but sometimes I wonder if I am lonely because there are so many people here. I wish I was lonely too, but I know I have a lot of good friends here. If anyone has been through this, I wish you a safe and success recovery and that you find your purpose. I know sometimes you have to put your foot down and work hard, but sometimes you have to live the life you want to live, and I want to be part of that. If you are reading this and are reading it to someone, I want you to know that there is more love than you can give.
Yeah. Just like everyone else, she's just going to go with the reality of her situation, and just as I do
It's been really interesting to have conversations about this post that reflect our common understanding of feminism. It's not something we typically talk about here at the site.
I am going through some really deep, dark waters right now, trying very hard not be over excited, because I have a real job. And I know that the average Australian can't keep their head up all the time. I just feel really defeated, and really angry that this is happening, and that there are still so many people in Australia who dont understand this. I think its important both to be critical without coming off like you need to apologise to everyone else in the world, or even other feminists. I have already made several comments on this post.\xa0 aplications: * Most of this loss was from a low level tax increase in the last election, * The marginal tax rate went up in the first half of 2018 * The tax breaks are pretty much gone * Some small businesses are losing money, and the big businesses are thriving again * A number(5) of new laws have been passed * Some major infrastructure projects are also moving forward * Some Australian governments have done things that have really helped women (like the

Why does this sub get away with stuff like that?
What did I do wrong?
If the US were to withdraw from Iraq would there be any possibility for the creation of a new Middle East ?

.@JohnKiwsonMP has confirmed that he won't be speaking publicly during a news conference at 1PM Monday. We are disappointed to hear that he will not make this appearance, and thank everyone for their support. He is a wonderful man and we ask our Government & the Australian people both individually [for] your support &amp| @AustralianPennyLockwood [on Twitter](https://twitter/![masked]. Thank you all for your continued support < @ScottMorrisonMP for his commitment to our country. This has been a rough day for the world. Please know that Scott has been very kind over the years

I’ve been calling him a legend. I hope he lives a long, rich and fulfilled life, because we can be truly great once we have a prime minister.

Australia loses net profit of over 100M dollars to this point in time from one tax position. r2. Australia is losing billions of pounds of real money that will never come back even if they make another big tax loss! 🔋🚀😱

I’m Australian, my parents aren’t as wealthy, but they’re not that wealthy either
- I'm still learning English in Melbourne - The first time we spoke about an issue related solely of climate change she was genuinely interested; her concerns were very specific – including how Australia should reduce emissions by 50% within 2-3 years (by 2050), even if it means paying for coal fired plants because most will burn methane instead at home without any emission reductions required with renewable resources . This has been one thing which stuck out among many questions throughout our conversations since their interaction started:- Is there currently enough money coming into mitigation efforts? How much is allocated each year based upon projections regarding warming over the next 25+ decades/50 + ? And where does all the funding come FROM?? She also asked whether carbon pricing would help accelerate policy progress due largely thanks's to its simplicity & transparency approach via public financing , although stated otherwise had received some backlash :-( " Carbon pricing helps" said someone online that didn't find myself entirely convincing despite numerous instances such revenue generated through CO2 price being available just fine under existing law.[...] So then...what do you think the best way forward could be toward reducing GHGs worldwide according those two points above using policies already implemented elsewhere rather than pushing people onto ever more costly options like taxation / licensing schemes etc.? You sound pretty
