@rohan_connolly @YouTube Super underrated band- copping a lot of flack at the moment… for being old 😢
@rohan_connolly @7RockLists Yep, their cover of Ticket to Ride is great also.
The Australian accent was first noted around 1820. Colonial authorities were puzzled by the distinctive way the children of the settlers were speaking. It had developed as a unique blend of English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh dialects that had never been heard together in Britain, formed through daily mixing in the new townships. The Australian accent evolved from: 🏴 🇮🇪 🏴 🏴

I live in a world not built for me, here is what I have learned buff.ly/4itPlKm
TREASURY HAS RELEASED ITS LATEST ESTIMATES OF THE COST OF TAX CONCESSIONS Exciting, huh? (I have a low excitement threshold. I am, after all, an economist.) To me the standout is that Treasury has hugely revised up its estimates of the cost of superannuation tax concessions. The cost of those concessions next year is now estimated at $64bn - some $9.3bn more than estimated less than a year ago. The bulk of the higher costs are due to a huge lift in the estimated cost of tax concessions on earnings within super. To be clear, it's hard to properly estimate the tax concessions given to super. To be even clearer, the concessions given to earnings within super are cray cray. That’s because parts of the tax system that make sense in isolation collide in silly ways inside super: (1) The tax system should encourage saving – and ours does through super. (2) The tax system should recognise that inflation can artificially inflate capital gains – and ours (indirectly) does through a capital gains tax discount. (3) And the tax system should avoid taxing the same income twice – as ours does through franking credits. But super funds get the benefit of all three of these. And super has a very heavy reliance on Australian shares, many of them with fully franked earnings. The upshot is that we’ve massively overdone the concessions. Super funds make earnings on which they have to pay 15% in tax, but then those same earnings often come with a 30% tax credit attached. Nice little earner, huh? No wonder that Treasury has had to massively revise up its estimates of the concession ... (More ranting here ... x.com/ChrisEconomist… and here x.com/ChrisEconomist…)
SOLVING SUPER – FOR BOTH PRINCES AND PAUPERS Yesterday I discussed the problems () Now it’s time for solutions Australia has an EARNINGS SUBSIDY RATHER THAN AN EARNINGS TAX The simplest way to improve that is to lift the tax on earnings in super from

My truly wonderful friend and mentor – Geoff Carmody – has passed away. This lovely story by @Johnkehoe23 – afr.com/policy/economy…– gets to the heart of it: Geoff had an absolute passion for a better Australia. That meant no phone call from Geoff was ever short: he brimmed with ideas on everything from tax to super to aviation and tourism policy and the energy transition. (And no phone call ever finished without a joke – the man had an endless supply!) A better Australia is built on the back of people like Geoff and the passion they have. I miss him already.
