If you are querying the second, then look for the posts where I have asked for substantiation, and see what you can find.
That's not too hard for you is it?

In relation to tax deductions for tax returns, I have heard the $3000 limit twice mentioned - by Bowen and by Shorten.

The ALP ABC have put up a swing calculator for those of us waiting for the water to boil.

Move to slider to your desired outcome :)

That's my prediction - for the record - I'm subtracting two seats off Labor because I don't think they'll win Lindsay or Banks. So for me it's 79 seats for ALP, 65 for LNP and 7 for the rest.

I think the election will be close.
Big tax changes from opposition as John Hewson found is hard.

Abbott will hold his seat, Turnbulls old seat will go back to Liberal (Turnbull actually liked the Lib guy and has been seen having lunch with him). Some of those Victorian seats are going to be hard for Labor to win.
If Morrison looks like getting close he will get more money from the Uber wealthy who are scared about the family trust taxing proposals.

It will be close and we may still get a boat or some other incident occurring in a couple of weeks.(not arranged of course).

The big weakness of the Libs is Tony. They have to somehow stop him spouting his usual.

How are Shorten and Morrison coming across on a personal level Knobby? I haven't seen either of them since the election was called, and IMO the way they project themselves, will have a major bearing in the outcome.
Morrison is carrying a lot of leadership baggage, but Shorten has never been high in the opinion polls, so it should be interesting to see who holds their nerve as it tightens up.

They both come cross as party machine men with little charisma, slightly more charisma with Morrison but he also comes across a little as a vacuum cleaner salesmen. They were both wearing yellow vests yesterday walking through factories so similar I couldn't tell the difference.
I am going to do what explod is and try to avoid this election. You are luck you are on holiday SP.

Labor is coming for your tax refund
Catallaxy Files: April 12, 2019 by Sinclair Davidson:
http://catallaxyfiles.com/2019/04/12/labor-is-coming-for-your-tax-refund/
...Bill Shorten has attacked the ability of wealthy people to claim a tax deduction for their accountancy fees.
...Mr Shorten singled out deducting accounting fees as “one of the rorts we want to shut down”, arguing Treasury had wrongly calculated the closing down of tax loopholes as tax increases.

“Did you know that if you want to deduct millions off your tax, you get your accountant to do it. Did you know you can also claim as a tax deduction the hundreds of thousands of dollars you give to your accountant to deduct millions out of the tax system,” Mr Shorten said...

Interesting that the source you quoted never mentioned that the proposed changes to tax deductability for accountants fees were for amounts over $3000.

If one was just reading it you would believe that all accountants fees would no be tax deductible.

He is either incompetent or deceitful. Little credibility.
 
I didn't know we were electing our first president as well.

Saw this Ad, think its interesting and important.

Instructive.

Clearly you regard yourself as intellectual. From your posts here I would say you are smarter than average, somewhere in the first standard deviation, but certainly no more. That you are unable to discern my point (admittedly {and intentionally} obtuse) is ample evidence thereof; that is unless you are feigning stupidity as some sort of puerile debating tactic to play to the Komrades.

I'm not sure which to be honest.

My advice is to review our interchange here; my response is intentionally fallacious, but was to make a point...

...which you may have missed.

I have no interest in your opinions.
You made a statement and I have no idea what you are talking about.
It was as simple as that.
But it's not relevant to this thread that I am aware, so I will leave it at that.

Could you link each and every post. Its too hard for me:D

In regards to the tax, I wonder if that will cover sole traders as well?

That's all cool.

Just wondering why you feel compelled to comment on my posts then?

Seems contradictory to me ;)

Where is your evidence?

LMAO

*Inshallah?

*The comparative reactions to Islam amd LBGTABCXYZ and (supposedly) right wing terrorism?

Look at the juxtaposition between Islam in the West and 3rd/4th wave feminism and LGBTABCXYZ.

I have long since realized that you disregard evidence that doesn't fit the narrative supplanted within you, so hope to awaken some critical thought...

...so far in vain.

So you are like the many posters here who do not actually provide evidence, but think repeating a statement is adequate.
Try someone else.
 
Commenting on day 2 of the campaign. (sorry I have had sparse internet access), The debacle of 3 people having to resign because of section 44 ineligibility to run for parliament. it must be making some people think what is this liberal mob doing. You call an election and cant organise your own troops to be of correct eligibility status. A minor administrative task I would have thought.
It worries me how the job of running the country is being done behind the scenes.
