Remember those gas / fossil fuel merkins not paying any / much tax ? Well you can add Apple, Amazon, News Ltd etc to that list and be glad to hear that the loop holes just got much smaller.

Billionaire businesses dodging the taxman cop a reality check

They may not be breaking the law, but the taxes multinationals pay are not proportional to the profits they are raking in. That’s something laws passed earlier this week seek to change.

Global minimum tax reforms pass the Senate

Legislation to introduce a 15 per cent global minimum tax and domestic minimum tax for certain multinational groups has now passed the Senate.

I wonder if LU is going to be caught up in the U16 social media laws?

That would put an end to Gronksplaining and promote peace and electricity in the Ukraine.

we're not social media

we're not social media

Plus it doesn't even come into effect until end 2025 and I'll be 16 by then.

we'll need to see evidence of that

are your sure?

Australia's social media ban for children under 16 just became law. How it will work remains a mystery

The government's new laws banning children under 16 from having an account with some social media platforms won't take effect for at least 12 months. So what will happen before then?

www.abc.net.au

However, it does not name specific platforms that will be subject to the ban.

Instead, the legislation defines an "age-restricted social media platform" as including services where:

1. the "sole purpose, or a significant purpose" is to enable "online social interaction" between people
2. people can "link to, or interact with" others on the service
3. people can "post material", or
4. it falls under other conditions as set out in the legislation.

Sounds like a forum fits the definition

TBH I don't think the government even know yet, they just wanted to get it through before xmas

Could have the feds breaking into LU head office with a warrant.

Twizzle hiding under the bed with his feet sticking out like JDB.

No ratting on Gaz. Snitches wear sneakers.

According to this compass, everyone here has the same or close ideological positions and we should all be in complete agreement.

Ive been of the wrongful impression we all hated each other.

And because it’s my first day as a steaming wokey bender I’ve invented the Islamic Christmas Tree.



On the plastic evergreen
A red reindeer clambers forth
To found the wokey Xmas
Of pro nouns and remorse.

High atop this Christian statement
Sits a crescent white
To remind all those assembled
Of Suni and Shi-ite

I love a wokey Christmas
Oh Yuletide lentil beer
And church and faith and worship
Of mosques and faith based cheer!

I really don't know what to make of this 5 days waste of your time. I award you a silver star for your effort. At least I know that you're no Henry Lawson.

I was trying to do my own feral LU version of “imagine” by John Lennon.

Something for LU to use in its defence when Albo and feds come to shut us down for being social media.

Silverdale, the Tiger's cheer,
Loves Christmas time, despite the fear!
His family frowns, "Not this again!"
But he’s all in for joy, despite the strain.

An Islamic heart, but Christmas’s friend,
He decorates early, no need to pretend.
His relatives groan, "This isn’t right!"
But Silverdale beams, "Let’s celebrate the night!"

With carols loud and lights aglow,
He loves the season, and lets it show.
"Let’s bring some cheer," he boldly claims,
Even if his family just rolls their names!

I doubt it has my fingerprints, but I suspect it has my semen.

I suspect there’s a minute trace of your semen on each and every $50 note in circulation.
