As someone who's not going to be able to benefit from either of these, which one costs less for me as a taxpayer?

miicah on Labor-Greens Coalition Government Would Get Rid of Capital Gains Tax Discount & Negative Gearing

Take the cones to the local police station as lost property. You can cite the $100M economic impacts mentioned above. Just being a…

Pretty unlikely. Maybe $12 at a stretch but it wouldn't be as frequent. Not interested in a drink bundle to increase it to the $15 either,…

Not keen to spend more than $10 on lunch if I'm in the office, otherwise I'll just bring something from home or not bother at all. Do a…

BobLim commented on [VIC] 5-Pack of Hot Jam Doughnuts $3.75 (Was $11) on Tue 4/3 @ American Doughnut Kitchen (Melbourne 7am-9am / Prahran 8am-10am)

bunnybash on iPhone 16 Plus 128GB $1,479.99 Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required) (Price Beat $1,405.99 @ Officeworks)

Lots of companies issue iPhones to employees, and you can bet that when the SE runs out of stock they'll be shifting plenty of these

Sure, and doesn't that gift stop being considered 5 years after it's made? Being many years away from having to plan for such things, I'll…

I'm sure their kids can cover it from the massive piles of cash they were gifted just in time to have it drop off the radar for the pension…

Also contributions to assisted living / aged care etc vs covered by public funds if you have nothing.

Ask the office to schedule a 5-10 minute phone call

I willl agree that this scenario is more reasonable than many other examples - no one could physically block you merging even if they…
