I'm not in the habit of replying to Molly Ploofkins.

Yes some one else did the next post and it debunked a few of those lines from her.

Yep, it's probably beneficial for any remaining boys-only schools to start to become co-ed - modern world etc.

Though it's probably not as thrilling for any girls schools to embrace the entry of teenage boys....

 

[JokerEel]

My son's old school (Cranbrook) is going co-ed next year. The boys at the school were starting to get a bit of a reputation ... (below) and I think the girls need to kick a few of them in the balls. Will do them good.

So when do you start giving the club TPAs!

Elon's gone from the White House to the out house...

‘Disappointed’ Musk splits with Trump, says key tax bill undermines DOGE

After stepping back from politics, the world’s richest man says he is disappointed by the US president’s so-called “big, beautiful bill”, which raises the debt ceiling by $US4 trillion.

Meanwhile the latest launch of Elon's SpaceX pet project "experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly, or burst apart".

SpaceX Starship launches after two failures but tumbles out of control

The two-stage spacecraft, consisting of the Starship vessel mounted atop a towering SpaceX Super Heavy rocket booster, blasted off at about 7:36pm local time on Tuesday in Texas.

^ From the above:

"Contact with the booster was lost at one point and it slammed into the Gulf of Mexico in pieces as the spacecraft continued toward the Indian Ocean.

Then the spacecraft went out of control, apparently due to fuel leaks."

Fake news there is no Gulf of Mexico....

I must say Labour or Libs they both are pretty much the same these days..

I wonder how much the government makes from these projects or is it mainly back door deals at the end of the day.

Well considering one party wants to can net zero, burn coal for ever and jedi everyone into thinking that they have a nuclear plan and the other party is trying to sensibly transition to renewables, yeah nah.

Let's hope that we (Australia) make money from this gas project and Woodside actually pay tax.

Says who ? The Nationals are arguing their case right now. Canavan wants net zero off the table and "nuclear" on the table. The libs don't even believe in climate change. Why do you say incorrect ?

Says their current policies?

Even if they come into fruition they do have them same as Labor. Labor though as an earlier net 0 target.

Plus you said burning coal forever..

Scomo did the same thing..

Same same

 

[JokerEel]

Still gives me a laugh

 

[JokerEel]

But happy to tax unrealised gains..

What's ZZZ

Anyhow so if we are saying no one from the other parties openly campaign then are we saying Labor politicians who do are lying?

 

[Gronk]

But happy to tax unrealised gains..

Unrealised gains in SMFS's containing assets of $3m or greater, which impacts 0.5% of SMSFs.

They are targeting those cheeky merkins who have $50-750m in their little mum n dad super fund, where they slid it in paying only 15%. So anything about $3m will be taxed at - the company tax rate - or 30%.

You might whinge about all this but it is just closing a loophole that has been taken advantage of.

Boo hoo pay tax.
