- Street Fighter EX 3
- Tatsunoko v Capcom

@emezie I lowkey love that Terry’s a bit of a goof while not being a straight protagonist like Ryu or a hothead like Ken. It’s great character design.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@amr_maadawy This is normal though. SF4 added 11 new characters and only Juri and C.Viper have returned. SFV got 14 and only Rashid and Ed have continued.

This is just part of the renewal cycle.

@Sanomorf Good luck with the article. But it’s clearly a game that a greater proportion of people than ever find enjoyable to play.

Rather than explaining why everyone else is wrong, would it be more useful to reflect on why the things that bother you don’t worry everyone else?

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@RyanJosephHart @broskiFGC Can I ask what option C or D would look like in another game? Because aren’t those *always* the two viable choices?

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@David_McMahon75 @TurgidmiasmaASX Seems pretty clear cut - if you can convince the ATO to clarify you as a share trader, you aren’t considered to have capital assets and the minimum capital gains tax won’t apply:

@iL1keTurtles @David_McMahon75 The problem here is that the tail is wagging the dog.

A minimum tax on some forms of income is, on a first principles basis, antithetical to a fair, progressive tax system.

The exceptions are being used to justify the rule.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@iL1keTurtles @David_McMahon75 There are many ways to address these issues, for example, averaging income over multiple years (wage/income) and anti-income splitting measures.

This is a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@David_McMahon75 One of the best articulations I have seen. Both this and the 30% minimum are indefensible on policy grounds.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

The 50% discount was just intended to be a simplified approximation of the CGT inflation-indexed discounting rules.

For most assets, in periods of low inflation, 50% > the indexation discount and for high inflation, 50% < indexation.

It is the 30% minimum that is the tax grab.

[Christine ☀️💐 🩷 @crissy_az]

So if changes to the CGT discount is a so called “tax grab” for the government…isn’t it fair to say the ridiculous 50% CGT discount introduced by Howard 27 years ago was a tax rort for the wealthy?

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@browncharley23 @AvidCommentator Um, ALP and Lib primary votes have basically declined in parallel. The ALP’s has just held up slightly better until the start of this year.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@machonachos @realRick_AUS @letthatsinksin The point is that inflationary wage rises ALWAYS get eaten up by inflation. Lifting the minimum wage without productivity is a sugar hit, it evaporates basically immediately.

Ask what the govt is doing to lift productivity and lower core inflation if you want a living wage.

@DancingDanB @MaximDimSim Strange choice to link to an article that doesn’t contain this chart. Why use % of labour costs?

Your article instead demonstrates that Australia’s tax is comparable to high-tax France once you include our 12% super (France has fully government funded retirement benefits).

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@BarrieCarter6 The bottom 50 per cent of Australians receive more in direct government payments than they pay in tax. Who’s getting the free ride?

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@LisaA93194133 @AvidCommentator Sure, but the thinking was that people would want to see "lazy" public servants punished. Working from home ≠ doing a bad job, and many parents know that WFH can be a godsend in saved travel time and childcare costs. It's not only public servants who like it.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@TMFScottP Are you really saying only the person themselves is entitled to say “I lied” or “I am sad” or “I forgot” or whatever?

It’s normally understood in conversation that subjective statements about others have the caveats, “In my opinion & based on the observed evidence …” in front.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@michaeljames947 @tax_oz Texas Sunset Commission model: Systematically review public sector agencies in a rolling basis every X years and determine whether their administrative function is still required, or could be abolished or merged.

This, plus ongoing use of the efficiency dividend is vital.

@BristOliver @ciphergoth I explicitly block the AI results through an add-on extension that just leaves the search results.

I use AI but prefer Google for *Search* - that’s why I’m there.

[GuruJ @GuruJation]

@TMFScottP If a policy is bad policy on independent grounds and *also* likely to work counter to the stated intent of the policy, I think it’s reasonable to point out both things in the debate.
