my understanding of the changes means some companies using it as a tax dodge will be decreasing it. people like us who use it honestly and get reamed by the ATO anyway will continue using it as intended.
when I was claiming kms, meal allowances and LAHA my untaxed income was high which was punishing. why not just tax it all because its going to be taxed from me regardless.
listening to ABC radio today (only thing in reception) and it makes me angry that ABC spends all day interviewing and reporting on academics and political figures to talk about politics all day, all of who are basically in the public sector. everyone talking about what should be done, but nothing actually getting done. and no ad revenue means its 100% funded by the government. all the crap they were reporting and discussing could be summed up in a 60min program.
how about lets abolish ABC2, ABC3, ABC24 and ABC classical radio and broadcast important programs on commercial stations for providing unbiased *cough* national information. would it not be much cheaper and more efficient that way?
tl;dr: people paid by the government interviewing people in the government, talking about how to improve the government, broadcasted to those who pay for the government and/or are paid by the government.
