There are a number that actually drive in the open “Letterbox” version. How fucking dangerous would that be ?

And if one of them runs up the back of your car how do you verify the licence to the driver. The cops don’t bother with small bingles

Get real.

Priests, cardinals, soldiers etc volunteer to dress up.

Women who wear burquas are conscripts to the male domination cause. This attire is the symbol of oppression.

I told you they’re bikies!

Look at this guy

A BRISBANE man has been granted bail for allegedly holding money in a bank account to fund terrorist activity in Syria

Majority of the World wants jules ignored

Well, looks like our gubmint just became a virus

Thanks for nothing “metoo” bill

as canberra teabags remove citizen rights and freedoms from all citizens; coz maybe a handful of people will abuse those rights and freedoms; we can be reassured by the citizens of 1984 that rights and freedoms become much easier to defend when we don`t actually have them #teabags

(Theoretically, with a more fundamental adherence to the tenets of bagism, objections to burqas and objections to berks, alike, might disappear from the face of the world.)

This is justifiable and its more a loan than increased debt.

‘The Federal Government has given the Reserve Bank of Australia a $8.8 billion one-off grant to help it manage future economic crises.

‘The money will be added to a fund used to offset the central bank’s exposure to risky financial assets.’

The usual culprits top the list again this year: Rupert Murdoch’s Fox, Frank Lowy’s Westfield and the host of real estate trusts listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

These are our thoroughbreds of tax avoidance; the nation’s chief “leaners”, as opposed to its “lifters”, the ordinary tax-paying Australians, small businesses and big retailers who fork out their fair share.

Big business ‘shirks’ fair share of tax load

Heath Aston, Georgia Wilkins September 29, 2014

Almost a third of Australia’s largest companies are paying less than 10¢ in the dollar in corporate tax, a report that exposes a gaping hole in government revenues over the past decade shows.

As Australia prepares to host world leaders at the G20 summit in Brisbane in November, where a global assault on tax avoidance will be discussed, the report found 84 per cent of Australia’s top 200 stockmarket-listed companies pay less than the 30 per cent company tax rate.

Some, among them household names such as James Hardie, do not contribute a dollar to Australian coffers, it found.

Tax minimisation by large companies far outweighs that of small- and medium-sized businesses and has a disproportionately large effect on eroding the tax base.

”Tackling corporate tax avoidance is an urgent priority; Australia does not have a spending problem, it has a revenue problem and it must be fixed,” says Who Pays for Our Common Wealth?, prepared by the union United Voice and the Tax Justice Network – a group of charities, unions and churches.

The 90-page look at tax contributions of the S&P/ASX 200 between 2004 and last year claims up to $80 billion in tax was forgone in that period. That could all but wipe out the past two budget deficits.

It details the widespread and growing use of subsidiaries in tax havens and so-called ”thin capitalisation”, where local entities are saddled with huge debts to reduce tax liabilities in Australia.

Almost 60 per cent of the ASX 200 declare subsidiaries in tax havens. For example, global broadcaster 21st Century Fox has 117 and logistics group Toll Holdings 72 in low-tax jurisdictions.

Nearly a third of companies have an average ”effective tax rate” of 10 per cent or less. James Hardie pays an effective rate of 0 per cent tax, Sydney Airport 2 per cent and Echo Entertainment – owner of

Sydney’s Star casino – 5 per cent, the report found. It said many of the lowest-paying companies are real estate investment trusts, which pass some of the tax burden on to investors.

Before its release on Wednesday, the Corporate Tax Association, which represents much of the ASX 200 on tax issues, dismissed the report, saying ”usually there are logical explanations for low effective company tax rates”.

But the authors of the report said the scope of their research made it clear that ”tax minimisation practices of a minority of very large companies have a significant and disproportionate impact on Australia’s corporate tax revenue base”.

David O’Byrne, national secretary of United Voice, said ”the corporate tax system is broken”.

”When 29 per cent of Australia’s largest listed companies are paying an effective tax rate of 10 per cent or less, it’s clear that the system is broken,” he said.

”In the last five years the proportion of total tax revenue from business shrank from 23 per cent to 19 per cent, while the proportion from individuals rose from 37 per cent to 39 per cent. Working people across the country are doing all the heavy-lifting because many of our biggest companies are shirking their responsibilities and it’s costing all of us billions of dollars a year.”

The Tax Justice Network and United Voice will call for a parliamentary inquiry into the corporate tax take after briefing federal MPs.

But they will face stiff resistance from the corporate world, which points to Australia’s place at second on the list of countries for company tax take to GDP ratio. Business leaders complain that foreign competitors pay far less in their home countries even though countries such as the US have a higher corporate tax rate, of 35 per cent.

Corporate Tax Association executive director Frank Drenth said: ”Financial journalists and some civil society groups don’t have a great track record of analysing tax information from published accounts. Financial accounts were never specifically designed to facilitate a detailed analysis of a company’s tax performance.”

He listed seven reasons why an effective tax rate can fall below 30 per cent, including taxed foreign income not being subject to additional Australian tax, tax offsets for expenditure on research and development, and restructures.

The report, which was reviewed by tax and accounting lecturer Roman Lanis from the University of Technology, Sydney, does not allege illegal tax avoidance by any company – nor does Fairfax Media – but calls for greater transparency and a national debate on the system.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development this month unveiled plans to tackle profit shifting and tax avoidance by multinational corporations. Australian companies will be forced to provide more transparency to the Tax Office from next year.

The ATO declined to comment.

A spokeswoman for James Hardie said its consolidated statement of cash flows showed it had paid $US495 million.

But Michael Kobetsky, an adjunct professor at the Australian National University and fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia, said it was unclear where that tax was paid because James Hardie was domiciled in the Netherlands and had subsidiaries in tax havens.

”We know they are not paying tax in Australia because their dividends to shareholders are completely unfranked,” he said.

A Sydney Airport spokeswoman said: ”We comply with all Australian tax laws and pay taxes including payroll tax, stamp duties, fringe benefits tax, council rates, GST and other levies, as well as collecting GST on behalf of government.”

A spokeswoman for Treasurer Joe Hockey said: ”Companies should pay tax where they earn the profits and that has been [Mr Hockey’s] agenda through G20 negotiations.”

Fairfax Media’s estimated tax rate is 25 per cent, the report found. It has subsidiaries in Malaysia and Singapore.

Labor assistant treasury spokesman Andrew Leigh said the data suggested that if all ASX 200 companies paid the full rate of company tax, the budget would gain about $8.4 billion more revenue a year.

”That is more than the total savings the government expects to make next year by unfair measures like slashing pensions, bringing in its GP tax and cutting programs for indigenous Australians.”

Yes, I’ve heard the argument that the burqua is “so liberating”

I tend to think we should rely on the facts rather than the contortions of logic proposed by religious fanatics.

For example – is there a country where women’s rights have made advances, at the same time that burqua wearing has become more common or enforced more rigidly?

Turkey, a country where 95% of the population are Muslims, banned the headscarf.

Racists!

”””it’s men who are the perpetrators in nearly all cases”””

yeah sure, true. But as the `feminista` often get wrankled at women being lumped into one homogeanous group, instead of the multi-demographic groups women really are, (and yes, they are individuals too, shock, horror) the male perpetrators are male, but not all males are perpetrators, is the gay-male demographic perps.? all of them.? any of them.? l suspect none. What about single males like myself, that don`t know any muslims.? and don`t know any burka wearers.? Just how am l perpetrating anything.?

‘Peta Credlin, the prime minister’s chief of staff and top adviser, has been revealed as another political voice in favour of banning the burqa.

‘Ms Credlin is believed to have revealed her sentiments – to ban the burqa in Parliament House for security reasons – to Liberal National George Christensen last week, another open supporter of the ban.’

“”Ban all religion””

And ban atheism………………………..no one should have freedom of thought.

In the latest tabot brain fart, he has said Australians should “be aware but reassured”, while reminding us that there is an “apocalyptic death cult” (seems they’ve earnt the next badge) who wants ” to have heads on stakes”.

Well, I for one am “reassured” 😉

“”That’s what religion is all about is it not?””

If that is so………….so is imposed atheism……………so what’s the point of banning it ?

It’s a step beyond the male domination in our culture/experience.

But should we attend to the male domination in our culture/experience? before legislating against someone elses?

Or address them both in the same fashion, with understanding and education?

“…………are you really, really, saying that freedom of thought is a bad thing wally?”

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr…………………….No that was what you wanted by banning Religion

If it was the culture that men also cover themselves, you wouldn’t hear from me about the burqua.

I’d take the view that it is simply their way. But it is a limitation/restriction that is only placed on women, and it is so that they can be regarded as a personal possession.

Just waiting for subjugated women to assert themselves is an inadequate approach.

…and as I’ve said in the past, I’m quite happy for men who commit violence against women to be locked up, then to wear tracking devices for a decade.

“Why do you think muslim women should not have the same free clothing choice as the rest of us?”

And if it was any other religion would you be saying the same thing.

Why do leftists like Islam??

Farewell, friends! The sails are set,
the wind is east, the moorings fret.
Shadows long before me lie,
beneath the ever-bending sky,
but islands lie behind the Sun
that I shall raise ere all is done;
lands there are to west of West,
where night is quiet and sleep is rest.

“They both hate the West with a paasion. My enemy’s enemy is my friend.”

It is a sad thing to say but i think you are right. Anything bad for Australia leftists seem to like.

It is why i am so one sided. There is almost nothing a leftist says i agree with.

(Erm, I think someone might mean ‘it is why i am so one-dimensional’, if they’re still trying to make some kind of point.)

yes, yes, you can have chains and whips in your re-education camp 🙂

”’no one should have freedom of thought.””

”That’s what religion is all about is it not?”’

So is canberra. Total thought-free zone.

Actually, it is one of his more intelligent ones (which says more about his other ones than anything else really) 😉
