Oxford or Cambridge come to mind. Term finishes 21 June this year so imagine they'd be more accommodation around afterwards York or Bath could be good too Well-connected, interesting sights and though I haven't visited recently, I reckon they'd be decent restaurants

I suspect the child has consumed a similar absolute amount of ethanol to that which is found in ripe bananas, soy sauce or even bread

My younger brother managed to get through the best part of a 1 litre stein aged 5 at a bowling evening in Austria (probably due to deficient family supervision). He was a bit wobbly but hasn't shown any signs of developmental problems (yet). I'd be disappointed if the family's lawyers can find...

The WWGC won't be accepted as payment. It was a sad day when the ability to do so stopped

Last week, we ended up having to do 40 minutes T3 to T1. Just missed a shuttle but waited 4 minutes for next then walked briskly-loads of time to spare

I understand it stays until the end of the hotel year but doesn't renew

Our recent 4 Y+ VFF award seats flying JNB-SIN-SYD on SQ were certainly appreciated by the andye clan. I wouldn't have stumped up cash though.

I wouldn't say no to some extra cash for hospitals, community aged care and defence subsidised from rich adults' inheritances (noting few toil for capital gains)

Am alternative is to tax all (from pension or accumulation) withdrawals for people with TSB above a limit ($3M say but could make a case for marginal above $1.9M). Would affect the deathbed withdrawal strategy for big balances too.

I agree that taxing unrealised gains is problematic and personally don't agree with the principle. Howver, I'm sure the vociferousness is driven heavily by the ultimate tax outcome (which I imagine is understood by even fewer than the 0.5% who could get caught up in it)

I think I worked out how it goes (happy to be corrected as not a tax expert). Say: in their Joint SMSF Mr & Mrs Affluent have a Total Super Balance of $10M with $5M in property. They each have $2M in retirement accounts a few years after they retire. The remaining $6M is in accumulation. They...

24c off with the 7-11 fuel lock feature yesterday. No location shenanigans required. Standard VFF and Platinum Edge points

I meant currently

That lacks logic and fairness. .... I do have a feeling that there must be a big tax advantage (rather than merely opposition to the principle of taxing unrealised gains) in keeping things as they are, to explain the vociferousness of the opposition to the proposed changes.

Definitely aware that you pay 15% on dividends etc in the accumulation accounts pre and post retirement. A question I have is do you pay CGT if you sell an asset from accumulation once retired (I understand the rate is 10% for an asset held for over one year from an accumulation account...

Yes but outside super, you'd still be up for marginal tax on dividend/rental income and 22.5% CGT when you sell. I'm not sure 100% how CGT works currently inside super for property if you (a) sell asset in retirement phase (?10% if held over a year or 0%) (b) die and give to inheritors (...

I am probably being dopey, buy whetre willl they put the money that ends up not paying any tax (while achieving returns)?

When I ruptured my quad I became convinced of the superiority of tapentadol (Palexia) over oxy. Got off as soon as I could but has changed my practice with my own patients

Singapore Airlines 😉

I am in South Africa at present and am very pleased we will be back to vote. Australian democracy as demonstrated on the day is fabulous and I really enjoy going to vote (and a sausage sanga)
