The original philosophy was that profits that create dividends should not be taxed twice but they should be taxed at the company tax rate. By bringing in cash refunds for low income earners the profits that have created those dividends now don’t get taxed at all. The company tax paid on them is returned in cash to the recipient of the dividend.
As an example if the only income I receive is a $7000 dividend under the current law I get income of $10000 in my tax return and a franking credit if $3000 which I get back in cash. That $3000 is the tax the company paid on $10000 profit and now I have it not the ATO. Once my marginal tax rate is 30% or above under the ALP change I will get the franking credit which ensures that $10000 is never taxed at more than 30%.
The change is absolutely fair but I agree we need to phase it it so people have time to rearrange their affairs

He should be paying for security to make sure his paying customers are safe.

He needs better security. Security that won’t let people get that close.
I think his self defence and the follow up from others on the attacker was appropriate.

What'd be funny was if you only need 19 votes to get rid of him.Ian4 said:Almost up to 800,000 as I type this.

taztiger4 said:not so sure assaulting someone with an egg is the basis for creating a national hero !
Or is it ok because "the victim" is someone most people appear to hate & that somehow makes it ok.
What if the victim was Morrison or Hawke or Obama or your mum
WesternTiger said:Who on here is making a hero out of him Taz? I just don’t think punching a kid in the face twice and having four guys wrestle him to the ground and holding him in a choker hold is a commensurate response to an egging. Good possibility the authorities will see it in a similar way.

It wasn't violence, it was humiliation. Just enough force to crack an egg. Humiliation Anning deserved for humiliating Australia by releasing his statement on Australian Government letterhead. What #Eggboy did was a lot braver than Anning does with his views and normally surrounded by his neo Nazi minders. Walked up, pulled out his phone, in the middle of a room surround by nazi thugs he said "*smile* It" and egged Anning. Then he cops a decent slap and stands his ground. Good on the kid.
That small act of defiance went a long way to restoring Australia's credibility. We should all say Thank You to #Eggboy.
I reckon this will have started a new movement. The next time neo-nazis or white supremacists are gathered, the eggs will come flying from all directions. Might be a good time to buy shares in egg farmers.
