I'm getting really over players playing for a penalty. That's what Austin was doing for the Hurrell try. If he legitimately went all out to try and make the tackle, he probably would have been taken out and given a penalty, but he played for it and the refs/bunker rightly judged it a try. It happens...

He did plenty of things which impacted others. What about drink driving and the other driving offences? What about urinating on a guy? What about wilfully damaging a car? Compared to lodge though? Im not saying he should be registered, im saying lodge shouldnt have been. And its set a dangerous pre...

Of course, if the NRL was well managed and administered, this bloke wouldn't be allowed to play rugby league. Nor should they have let Russell Packer play, nor Todd Carney. All these players have seriously damaged the reputation of rugby league. Paul Green said today Todd Carney deserves a second c...

Ruined... Betty our puppy passed away suddenly while at puppy school on the weekend... she was only 4 months old... one minute was having a ball wrestling with the other puppys, next minute she was laying down struggling... the Vets on site couldn't do anything for her... We're absolutely devastate...

Dibbers

Besides shonky TPAs, i think there needs to be 2 things brought in that prevent this sort of thing from happening. 1. Ban front and backloading of contracts. Backloading has serious ramifications to cap management and creates an environment where someone like Baptiste is forced to be released when w...

Thanks mate

How many players have we signed since releasing Baptiste ? We needed to release Baptiste to be cap compliant and god knows how many have been added since.. Its not always as clean cut as that. They'd have budgeted for the majority of the additional signings. The Raiders would have known they needed...

Papalli is the least of our problems. Sure he indulges in the off season but so long as he works his backside off to get in shape for the season I don't care. We all indulge on our holidays. As for off field incidents, if we refused to sign/renew contracts for players who've done something untoward ...

yup. postage stamp or not you still need to get the runs. Poor shot selection will still get you out. To maintain the scoring at a RR of 12 an over with scoreboard pressure is a great effort even in the backyard...

Tbh I think most would agree that decreased govt spending would not hurt. It would certainly assist the national accounts, how much that will flow down to bring some borderline people to contributors, I don’t know. It’s not always the amount that is spent. More how it is spent. $190k a year job for...

Try some will argue that taxes don’t effect people’s motivation and choices simply because it doesn’t effect their own. Well you're arguing that reducing the taxes on higher wages will motivate the entire population to become CEOs because it'd motivate you, so same same really. FTR, i agree payroll...

Dibbers

I am not arguing importance, I am saying he made something of himself in reference to income. I obviously meant no slight on no other profession and am shocked and disillusioned that you have tried to turn it into that, with your moral conscience and all. 😁 Its a bid hard not to take it as a slight...

Dibbers

So, you can whinge and moan that too many people are net negative contributors, but unless the above and more changes which wont happen, then its neccessary to keep the country going. That makes no sense to me. It would be just as easy to argue that middle class welfare artificially inflates house ...

Dibbers

I don’t think it is reasonable that 40 percent of the population doesn’t contribute in net terms to the community. That is nothing like a safety net. There are choices about where people live, but that’s up to them. I shouldn’t be subsidising people’s choice to live in Sydney or Melbourne. Its not ...

Dibbers

Ask the question another way... do we really think 40 per cent of our population should be net welfare recipients? I’ve voted Labor for all my life in federal elections, but this seems disproportionate. Doesn’t it seem that way to most people? Nope it doesnt. When you consider the avg full time wag...

I think you will find most people who know what it takes to make something of themselves would argue TR is in fact right. I think people with a superiority complex will think you and T_R are right.

Dibbers

Dibbers I don't disagree with what you're saying. Its part of the reasoning behind my 2nd paragraph saying it would be virtually impossible to change to it from the current structure. My point was about perception of fairness. Equality is everybody paying the same % tax and earning the same wage. I...

Dibbers

Either you didn't read my whole post or you didn't understand it. It was me that mentioned the lower wages for current high income earners if we had a flat system. And i understand where you're coming from in principle, but the practicalities just don't stack up for mine. Even "flattening"...

I would believe more than any other club. I would believe double that of any other club. Triple would be stretching it. More that all other NRL clubs combined... that has to be a stretch. unfortunately the nature of the TPAs mean that this sort of article can't be proven/disproven. And people other...

Regardless of whether the employment market plays out that way, people who run their own business dont get paid pursuant to a job ad. No they don't, but a tax system shouldn't be devised with the sole view of being beneficial to business owners. Considerations should be made, yes, but they are a pi...

Aside from Childcare, we also receive zero benefits from the govt. We need the Childcare rebate because we need my wifes wage to cover the mortgage. Very decent of you to refuse the various frist home owners grants available to you. There weren't any when we bought. And having a first home owners g...

I receive zero benefits from the government. I’ve entirely provided for my retirement and health care. I’m paying tax to support people who expect subsidies for child care, and who are relatively well off too. There’s way too much welfare for middle and higher income earners.

Dibbers

The reason you earn the amount you do is because the tax is as high as it is. If income taxes were less, then your pay packet would have been less too. Wot? What i was trying to say was that if we started off with a flat rate tax system (and what it will eventually move to because hey, its business...

Dibbers

What I argue with childcare. Is if the government wishes to support childcare it should do it in a manner like public schools, i.e. everyone can benefit without reference to their income (which to be fair was kind of what it was like before these changes). If the government is offended by helping w...

Dibbers

You are right in a practical sense. That is why, I concede that any change would have to be subtle, slow and clearly communicated and sold. However, the reality of the current situation, is because successive governments of all creeds have been all to happy to pin an unfairly high proportion of tax...

Dibbers

I agree that the wealthy should pay more tax and this should be used to help those less fortunate to have moire opportunites whether through health / education or whatever to make themselves more fortunate. I disagree that they should continue to pay even more tax on top of a set rate that everyone...
