Love to see some of you guys defend these guys with the same vigor you go after students. Remember the big guys attacked Gillard with daily front page headlines over an allegation of misappropriation of Around $5000 which happened 20 yrs ago. Peter Slipper $900, Craig Thompson $30000. Meanwhile some people go to weddings at your expense, get free travel, holidays, lunches,cars,even houses through negative gearing etc, and lets not forget welfare for big miners through your subsidy for fuel excise and pay little to no Tax. Scoosh lets not talk about that. Is the balance right??? Are we suckers for taking their bait and and going after kids school kids bonuses, heath, pensions, unemployed etc  Maybe I am a lefty and should be dismissed?..

  • Pharkin oath Murdoch should be paying his fair share of tax , the bloody governments and it doesn't matter who it is bow to these titans of big business like they some sort of messiahs! This country gets bent over and " phucked" by these multis and the government allows it!

    I loved China's stance on Murdoch and his Fox Group that grubby old leach has been trying for years to get into the Chinese media market, but the Chinese government actually changed laws restricting and further tightening laws in regards to foreign media ownership in their country, so Murdoch has given up and sold his remaining investments back to them, I have no sympathy for this grub of a human the sooner people realise he is nothing but a "pro-propaganda mouth piece"for governments that bow before him the sooner people may realise how much influence he actually has over the world!
  • As Wiz said, throw up some links/facts and we can discuss.

    Are you sure no tax is being paid?

    Don't forget the automotive industry got huge payouts to keep manufacturing in Australia, the government has now stopped it and they are pulling out. So, which way is better? Pay out millions in incentives (the same as giving others tax breaks), keep industry' jobs and other small off Shute businesses. Or, stop the free money and people lose their jobs and small businesses fold?

    No, I'd really like to hear people's opinions.

    If you are a worker, it's hard to get a job if there are fewer businesses.
  • Rather than whinging about the wealthy, put your efforts into your own life plans. You might be surprised what a little effort will get you.

    Everyone should be contributing to Australia and it's future. That doesn't mean the only way is paying taxes. Volunteers contribute, just not financially.

    Contribute or get out. That applies to every social level.
  • Big businesses do pay tax. They pay according to the schedules of tax. They get some benefits as they provide employment for 1000's of people. Without rich people, there will be no poor people.

    • They also have the best accountants that help big business avoid much of the tax they actually owe. Offshore accounts, tax havens ect. Our govt dosnt seem to care about that and does nothing about it even though they know it's going on.
  • YES he should we do. So why should he be any different then us From us. Just because he got more money then us.
    That mean he should pay more then us.

  • Feces, you mean Anglo Aussie women decided to stop giving birth? Cos I see PLENTY of "new Australians" with heaps of kids....
  • Yes they should like every other person.
    Definitely tax rates need to be looked at for big business.
    Only problem with that is we want to incentivise big business to hang around in Australia so if you tax the crap out of them they leave along with 1000s of jobs.
    Fine balancing act but it's something that needs to be addressed.
  • Conform, and dont bitch. Its the way it is. If you think its unfair then your a lazy turd who just wants to do nothing and get a free ride.

"If the purpose of the rule is to not have "one hand interfering with the opposition player", it should be worded as such."

"1. The rule is dumb and incredibly vague.
2. It's a coin toss decision
3. According to The Bunker in this game, basically making it look like you're going to go with 2 hands is good enough.
Can't wait for this stupid rule to ruin a rep/finals game."
