I knew someone who actually did buried tins back in the days when Australia had death tax. Dug it up after the husband died, water had got in (FNQ) and turned wads into into solid lumps. I suggest use of inert metal (Au)😁.

Not my area of expertise but aren't rules around that now redundant?

I didn't know that. The famous "age of entitlement"... that would be 67 😁

Yes not realised by many. Perhaps "to create a fairer and more sustainable system" super pension mode payments should be similarly taxed. Listen to the screaming then. Although really, it doesn't seem right that a single income family person on the average income pays a large amount of that in...

The PM stated the the tax will also apply to exMPs on their gov (DB)pension. I think that makes it clear that it will apply to pension balances too. "...calculation is adjusted for pension payments..." Oh yes (adjusted=added back in), surely you won't be able to have a $xx_xx unrealised capital...

I have a simple maxim... never buy private equity's "restructured" business. The capital has been taken out and replaced with debt (Myer), so the new "value" of the shares usually based on x recent profit which can be quite artificial (Dick Smith...supplier rebate is a profit 😆 without actually...

The rise and rise of TLS. Up again today, on a down day, and after recently warning of a possible reduction in the 100% franking rate. Amazing. Edit... maybe the buyback pushing it up

OT but I used to think that electing judges was bizarre; now thinking more towards that it may be preferable to politically appointed as in au. Edit, latest - appeal court reinstated tariffs, interim

Thanks Austman. Late comment but just did an AFF search as I'm SYD-NAN in FJ J next month for a week of boating. Sounds like it will be a pleasant flight but not to hold back on eating in the lounge beforehand.

Great TR and I like the history lessons too, thank you. I'd love to visit but I have zero ability at foreign languages, 3 years of school french and all I've got is the gallic🤷‍♂️

On -ve watch. Just saying.

I don't think so. I've searched in the past but haven't found original source, definitive answers. But from what I can work out... Driver's licence - your home (=principal place of residence?) state; Vehicle - where it is "garaged" (irrespective of above) so Victorians are aloud to drive to qld...

No I'm not THAT silly (On the other hand, posting my mistakes on social media, maybe I am🙁)

Backing out of the garage a few days ago, left the car door open, scraped off that plastic strip that's attached to some cars doors. LTIL - - no paint damage - I drove Her Hyundai Getz instead of my Merc, so replacement part is just $65 ! and I can diy - She is away and I'll fix it before She...

You do realise that qld has a digital licence option?

I think the targeted people will say yeh, nah. It will be the only structure taxing unrealised increase in value. There's the rub.

Fine for a single person

Excludes RAD...an extra $1M. I think that's why a lot of retirees aren't spending their super Edit: I've never heard of the organisation that produced this (news journalist is just reporting a report), and quote "medium retirement" spend $43,000 a year". I think that's below the poverty line.

Lot of words but simply mentions if you withdraw... - compare the tax rate you'll be paying outside super (d'oh) - be aware that you might trigger otherwise unrealised CGT (how ironic) (my opinion... careful about selling $25cba shares you might still have, be selective, be aware selling selling...

Not mel. Maybe ATC shortages.
