@Alsadius @DominicJPino @PostOpinions Like the same as your land tax, your music studio contract or your company tax. It’s not that hard.

@Alsadius @DominicJPino @PostOpinions Strange when people have an etf they take 0.5%. When they hire a property manager they take. When they hire a wealth manager, 0.5-1%, no problem. But when tax time comes, assets are holy. Id say if you can’t manager your assets to produce a return far above, you give them back.

@MarkoMatvikov We need parents parenting and not working. Too few kids. Selfish society. It’s all nonsense and leads to the wrong outcomes.

@brobson_politic own home = no tax. super = low tax. i think this only needs an exception for deposit savers so eg. up to $200,000 cash or stocks = no tax. everyone else: you are rich.

@AngusTaylorMP Actually the largest and richest energy source Australia has is above your heads. Its the sun, baby.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@AvidCommentator Because gasoline was so centralised and only useful in cars, sure, a fuel excise for roads made some sense. With EVs it makes 0 sense. So you can either create a complex mess to track km driven, or you take the cost into the general taxes. I vote latter.

@Reuters Newsflash: Boat passes through strait.

@_colourmeamused On my train passengers have tripled. Everyone saving $10 a day. The savings for the public are much larger than the cost to the tax payer. It’s more eco friendly, more social and more healthy. It makes SO much sense.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@Ahead_of_Curve Great analogy thank you. And the rationale would be that since cigarettes are taxed and the money goes to hospitals, when people switch to vegetables we need to make them pay for hospitals too. Roads are a public good!

[bleep @bleep749326]

@JacintaAllanMP Low cost public transport is smart. The infrastructure is already there and needs to be paid for anyway. More people are on the trains now, all saving money and spending it on other things. It also opens opportunities.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@alanbeck021 @JacintaAllanMP maybe use an uber then and save money and the environment.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@starman8888 @TopherField and australia already produces about 280,000 gwh electricity per day. so yes maybe not all of that is at the exact charging points needed but the whole argument is ridiculous.

a 1 gwh battery costs $200m. put one between each of the major cities. boom. solved.

@MarkoMatvikov @sydney_ev I agree that the subsidy in its current form is unfair. A fairer subsidy, if any, would be a fixed $xxx off per EV.

However, initially a subsidy was helpful to get the market going as EVs were on average more expensive.

@un_wellington @sydney_ev @penrithcouncil And you feel smart giving others your empty 10c bottles?

[bleep @bleep749326]

@agentsmart @sydney_ev @penrithcouncil Recycling should be done by machines. As shown these 10c create more problems than they solve.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@agentsmart @sydney_ev @penrithcouncil The proposal is to not have 10 cents on trash.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@sydney_ev @penrithcouncil which is disgusting in itself. think about it. get them a real job.

[bleep @bleep749326]

@agentsmart @sydney_ev @penrithcouncil Smart and hygenic. Isn’t it shocking that we create an economy where some people
scavenge for 10c bottles when minimum wage is above $20 an hour? what is this? are you supposed to feel good that you gave someone your trash? This create perverse incentives and pushes people down.
