About 35 short years ago everyone had Jobs everywhere, in fact Mums use to stay home and families all lived happily just on Dads wages.
We had Iron Ore and great steel industries, we had shipbuilding, Car manufacturing, Holden, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Ford even Lightburn made a Zeta, we built TV’s, radio’s, washing machines, Victa lawnmowers, hills hoists & fine furniture manufacturing. We built Car parts and we even made our own tyres at Bridgestone! We had fishing ports all over Australia from Port Lincoln to Brunswick Heads. We made our own cheap Petrol that was refined at Stanvac Oil refinery in SA, Bulimba Refinery in Brisbane. Mortlake Sydney Refinery’s from oil brought in from the Bass Strait, North West Shelf and the Timor Sea.
We built Aircraft, Boats, Submarines and battlecruisers, Ships, warships. Buses. Locomotives, Diesel-electric trains, as well as the tracks, and you can add hundreds more to that list.
And everything was “PROUDLY MADE IN AUSTRALIA”
We had Corner stores and Milk Bars and Deli's, and Hardware shops all over the city and country. Our Rural towns were a hive of activity as they were very strong Communities and were linked by a vast rail network that now lies dormant forever all across the country.
Flea Markets everywhere on the weekends. All our food was fresh and local. Our Milk and bread were delivered every morning fresh to our doorstep in recyclable glass bottles.
We paid our rates to the local council to maintain our streets and remove our rubbish. and we use to dump our extra rubbish free at the local tips.
We had work available as driveway attendants at all our local Service Stations, that was when we had Australian owned Service Stations like GOLDEN FLEECE that even had restaurants owned by H.C. Sleigh... and AMPOL. I even remember good old STANLEY who checked your tyres, checked your oils and washes your windscreen. And at ALL these places you could always find a JOB!!!
I remember going to Myers, David Jones and Waltons etc to buy Clothes and there was always someone with a tape measure to measure me up and all my NEW clothes fitted perfectly... Today I have to take clothes off the shelves, get them out of the packets, Take them to the fitting room and try them on... If they don't fit put them back and keep trying till you get some that do fit. 2 Hours later take them to the checkout that if it is not a Self Serve checkout. They are scanned and the operator tells me the price... Oh, I say... Can you tell me, the second-hand price, please???? These are new She replies... No, they are not! These shirts smell under the armpits... These are not new at all... How many people before me have tried them on??? I don't know what diseases people have. This is a public health issue.
We had PUBLIC UTILITIES like Power Stations, Water & Gas which would employ thousand around the Country and it was always so cheap, it would sustain thousands of Industries all over the Nation, this was how thousands of jobs were created.
We were all taught Respect for others and ourselves at school.
Then the bloody Government starting selling out our very souls !!!! It started to Corporatise itself and began to compete against private enterprise instead of Govern. Local Councils started to buy up Caravan & Tourist Parks in all the major tourist spots and build Shopping Hubs and rented them out and at the same time dictate to all others what you can and can not do...
Then we started going downhill.
All our companies and manufacturers started going offshore or close down because this new corporate government did deals with other countries under free trade agreements that allowed them to totally wipe out our business and manufacturing by allowing the foreign business to start flooding our once great nation with their cheap crap.
We as Australians use to all watch each other's backs and respect each other and all say G'day with a smile because we were all happy with our freedom and our wonderful democracy.

HOW MUCH TAX IS PAID ON A SLAB OF VB ?

(And could someone please check my maths as this seems ridiculous)

$59.00 retail
$53.64 (excluding GST)
💰$5.36 GST

*Beer Excise $61.57 per litre of alcohol
30 cans x 375ml = 11.25 litres of beer
11.25 litres x 4.9% alcohol = 0.551 litres alcohol
0.551 x $61.57 excise =💰 $33.90

💰Total tax
$5.36 GST + $33.90 excise = $39.26 Tax

$39.26/$59.00 = 66.5% tax

But it’s worse than that.

You can only buy beer with after tax income.

So if your marginal tax rate is 30% on income between $40K up to $135K)

You have to earn $85 (and pay $25.50)in income tax to be left with $59 to buy the slab of beer.

So in buying the slab, you need to earn $85, and you pay $25.50 in income tax, then you pay $33.90 in excise, and then $5.36 in GST.

So in total you‘ve paid $64.74 in tax to enjoy your $59 slab of beer.

So of the $85 you had to earn to buy the slab 76% ($64.74) goes in tax to the Federal government.

But it’s still worse ….

As of the total price of the slab, that leaves just $19.74 for the farmer, the brewer, the aluminium can maker, the transport company, the cardboard box maker and the retailer - and all the taxes they pay.

Australia desperately needs a DOGE to eliminate waste and fraud so government spending can be cut, and that money returned to the Australian taxpayer.

🟡It’s time to vote Libertarian.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

A genuine set of questions for @MarkJCarney and @PierrePoilievre: What is the limit of the extent to which the government can confiscate our hard-earned money? Our income is taxed provincially and federally at one of the highest rates in the world. We then pay sales tax on what we spend both provincially and federally. We also pay property tax, school tax, exit tax, and endless other forms of taxation. The taxation oversight and burden is simply astounding. And yet we know that countless people in the political class find ways to avoid paying taxes. Is a human being a free individual if 50%-70% of their earnings are taxed? What are the philosophical and moral principles that animate your right to steal our financial future, our peace of mind, and the fruits of our labor to such an extent? Every time that I work hard to be a productive member of society (in my case by being a professor and author), I end up at the same financial place (if not worse) because my taxation burden keeps increasing. I can't escape Canada's taxation system even when most of my income comes from outside of the country. Is there no sense of shame? When does it become too much in terms of what you take from your most productive citizens? I am being fully transparent here: There is nothing that has traumatized me more in my life than the taxation that I face, and I faced the Lebanese civil war.

🚨What Killed Manufacturing in Australia?🚨

Most may not know this, so I will try and explain it the best I can. Sunday history lessons.

In 1975, with no public consultation, the ALP government of Gough Whitlam signed Australia up to the United Nations inspired Lima Declaration which required Australia to reduce its manufacturing capabilities by around 30% and to commit to import that same amount from other preferred countries.

The Declaration also mandates that we import as much primary produce as we can consume; such as fruit, meat etc.

After the ALP committed us to these requirements, Australians were told this agreement would “flatten the world’s production to redistribute wealth to give all nations a “fair share’”. Gough Whitlam was sacked shortly after signing this agreement by the Govenor General, as he was unable to get the support of his Party and created a deadlock in Parliament. He is the only Prime Minister to ever be sacked in Australia by the Govenor General, however, his damaging action in signing Australia up to the Lima Declaration is still being felt today.

In 2007 Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed the Kyoto Agreement ratifying it immediately after assuming office on 3 December 2007, just before the meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change; it took effect in March 2008. Which the legally forced Australian businesses to reduce emissions or face penalties.

In 2016, the then far left Liberal Prime Minister signed us up to the Paris Agreement of which replaced the Kyoto Agreement placing even further pressure on not only what was left of the manufacturing industry, but on every single industry.

So the fact that the current Labor Prime Minister has signed us up to the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework under the presidency of of the PRC (People's Republic of China) to lock up 30% of Australian land and Water (30x30) is no surprise.

Australian industry and manufacturing has been stymied by our own Governments decisions to place other countries wants and needs above our own, all of which has been orchestrated by the unelected World Government known as the UN.

So, it doesn't seem to matter how successful Australian businesses may become, Australian Governments will find away to export that wealth and innovation to the UN's preferred beneficiaries.

To buy a $150k landcruiser the taxpayer must fork out over $40k in taxes straight to the government

GST that was meant to eliminate sales taxes

LCT that was meant purely to protect our car industry that no longer exists

Stamp duty - something paid straight to the states every time that same vehicle is sold throughout its life

Registration including more GST

A full tank of fuel with around 25% tax + GST

Import duty

If your paying with your super, you have already been taxed 15% on your earnings with no opportunity to claim any deductions, and the remaining 85% of your earnings is taxed again next year. But when the market falls and your investments crumble the government just laughs - no refunds.

Or you could pay from your hard earned cash on which you have paid 37c in the dollar + Medicare levy.

All up that landcruiser when paid from postboxes income is now is now over $250,000 which your childrens children’s children for seven generations will be paying back on finance. Finance that which you will pay stamp duty on.

But AlboDud wants more blood in the form of another tax - cos we don’t already pay through our noses.
