@BenPhillips_ANU The only country above us has the same CGT discount we do though... the only one to keep sky-rocketing despite the late noughties recession. And guess what, they reduced it this year for sales over $250k.
If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it.
US says: Israel's slaughter of 10,000s of Palestinians in Gaza is self-defence, not genocide, because Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
US says: Iran firing missiles at Israel is not self-defence, it's a dangerous act of aggression, even though Israel earlier bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus.
It seems like, whatever it does, Israel's always the victim. But what victim is allowed to go around killing whoever it wants?
Why is Australia approving visas for Israelis who ‘just got released from the IDF’ to come here for a working holiday when the IDF has been conducting a genocide @SenatorWong @AlboMP ?
It really is business as usual with a genocidal state? #Gaza
@Sedgythurgo@ShaneoNUFC What are you, 12? He's made a joke at the expense of Australia's only openly gay footballer. This shit has no place in our game.
