Yeah I don't think a single modern toll Rd in Australia has actually switched to free.
Still shits me the transurban CEO is on like $2.3mil a year and pays more tax than the company itself.

This guy received his invite to the VWLBC yet?

[TiTAN]

Bit like quantas. Massive losses brought forwards to offset any profits made so there's no tax paid for years after.

[Birds]

And praytell, who made you an expert in tax?

[Leroy Peterson]

I thought Qantas losses were offset by Jetstar profit...

[Birds]

Got a huge corporate tax bill to pay?

If it's a tax consolidate group then yes. Likely given that Jetstar is wholly owned by Qantas.

Nobody

Spotted two McLaren 570S parked in Narre in the space of two days

Watch out Toorak

[Leroy Peterson]

I'm working at a substation tomorrow along Narre Warren - Cranborne Rd, I haven't been there in years, I remember it being the only non farm land thing along the road for kms. Tried finding it in Google maps today and can't find it. There's only houses and shopping centres. It's endless.

[Birds]

Pretty decent growth suburb - 11% from memory.

Vacant land is practically non existent and old houses are being snatched up for current and future subdivision. Fountain Gate is a massive draw card, as is the Monash cutting through the suburb.

Will be what Rowville is now in about 5-7 years.

Especially with Cranbourne filling out farmland with estates left right and centre - would not want to live down there with insane congestion on the way. Much needed freeways down there.

Berwick and Endeavoir Hills have also gone nuts. As the more established and gentrified suburbs, they're boosted by Narre's growth the same way Narre is by Cranbourne and Clyde.

[Birds]

Freeway extensions have been great - got to work in 17 mins this morning

[UNR33L]

It'll be 47mins tomorrow

[Leroy Peterson]

Works in citylink to tullamarine roadworks expect +6 months to go.
Finishing the Monash widening will be great too. Though, I might be moving north towards the end of the year
If 88E and crypto kick off, plus higher interest rates, might be able to get a place lolololololol

[Birds]

Things bout to get interesting for 88E with 3D seismic commencing and impending reopen of IW2.

Gym guys talking about Crypto was bad enough. With 60 minutes doing a report on Crypto and telling viewers whether they can make money on it or not, you couldn't pay my to invest right now...

lol @ auscoin goons too

[dezz]

My work was on show in that 60 minute piece.

[emts]

i average 30 sec to get to work....

love that work from home now I have a proper home office.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Survived round 1 job cuts...

[TiTAN]

Survived round 1 job cuts...

Only 5000 more jobs to go over the next 2.5 years, that won't hurt productivity at all.

[Birds]

I never understand with the huge corporate job cuts, why they are all done at once instead of slow reduction over time to offset the liability to the point they might not need to slash as many

[emts]

to show a big change to "hopefully" impact share price in a positive way.

 

or you can do it they way my old company did and just pick a few low hanging fruit and then realize 3 months later that they lost a whole bunch of skill sets.

 

eg for one product they decided to merge it with another, so started by removing the entire dev team for that product.

when to product team 2 and they said no we cannot add that to our project due to good reasons x, y and z.

 

SO then hire new devs to maintain first product and they take 6 months to get their head around code.

 

rinse and repeat. multiple times.

 

 

or get ceo 1 who goes we need to merge everything, so support can support all products not just the ones they trained in, 18 months later new ceo, no we need to container all products and have specialists, 18 months later new CEO  and guess what!!!

 

but each needed to come in hot and have a new strategy to hopefully boost shareholder confidence...none ever did..
