I sont think picking a language that we need to teach is a great idea. However, Auatralian schools are so disjointed that people learn a couple of years of lots of different languages and never spend any real time on one.Sensible Stephen wrote:4.

5. Why? Whats the point of that. Encourage people to pick up a second language at school, but why force one particular language? In the 80s they said everyone should learn Japanese. So how helpful would Japanese compared to some of the other major languages? Hmmm.

Plus you need to keep up with a language to keep it and in a place like Auatralia that isnt going to happen.
So I would like to see more consistency is what is taught, and I dont think Mandarin is such a bad idea for that language.
Add to that non-researched. If it's a popular idea, the ALP go for it hook, line and sinker.

Franking credits are taxed at the business tax rate of 30%. They should be dealt with as a tax paid. If you need to pay less tax than that you get a refund
What I think should happen is retirees, like every other member of society, should pay tax at the income tax rates. Why do they get a tax break? I have no issue on drawing down on capital, tax has already been paid on that. But you dont get a franking credit for that. But if you earn $100k per year interest, thats an income and required the inputs of the government to earn that. Pay tax on it.
