University Challenge back on July 14th. It seems to be expanding to cover the full year! All we await is the return of Only Connect and all will be right with the world (or at least with Monday nights). Quite possibly the most smug show on television. But, they've started so they've finished..... :...

They’ve got a huge mandate from the public. And you wouldn’t take it as a single GST change. It needs to be a tax reform package. - 15% broad based GST - lower tax brackets - remove interest deductibility on investment properties - remove stamp duty at a state level - trade off is greater gst recei...

Government spending control would help, the money being squandered on the NDIS rort and other areas is out of control. Let's be correct here, they need to (And are doing so) administer oversight to the shysters who are over-charging the system that the LNP allowed. The NDIS in of itself is not a rort

Yep it’s just business now. Liam seems to be turned into a semi functional adult since he hit middle age, he’s into running now so he’s can’t be all bad

Yeah but who’s chasing him; coppers or loan sharks?

No party will take a GST change to the electorate as it's so poorly explained why it's needed

You need someone mercurial and as much as I like Chalmers, he's not that.

And if he lived in Sydney, he'd have been a regular at the Cabana Bar

I get 0 rugby club vibes from him. Golf absolutely. Bullshit! Probably no socks and boat shoes in the summer. Sydney Uni stands No way, those glasses and that build? No way he's into club rugby. Maybe watching Shore play at the annual old Boys reunion or something. Such Defensiveness :blush: :lol:
