    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    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.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    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...

    Virgin Australia IPO Discussion

    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

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    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...

    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...

    "Despite having travel insurance with Allianz, the couple has learned it doesn't cover losses related to agency insolvency." Seems to be a common exclusion now.
