Re the Job Keeper allowance thru Covid
This from my accountant this morn........... The government has said they will audit everybody, however I don’t think it will be possible. Jobkeeper is rife with people abusing the system. It was supposed to be for businesses in trouble, but plenty of people saw it as a cash grab to get free money. The same situation is happening down here, plenty of people claiming it who shouldn’t. Last email from the ATO said there have been over 200,000 complaints lodged so hopefully they do something about it and go after the people who weren’t entitled to it. We are all going to have to pay for this one way or another..........

Just like every other time the country has gone deep into debt. In fact the country has rarely been out of debt.

Not talking about handing out money like it's going out of fashion, but to fund some solid projects that are shovel ready that will keep people employed and deliver benefits. |

Treasury is estimating that $42b will be taken out, it'll probably be higher if we include the unqualified. That affects everyone. It will hit everyone's super performance in some shape or form, and takes investments out of industries. We can only hope there is some plan out of this. |

At the end of the day the worst thing about this is they are taking advantage of the tax rates but it is still their money. And of course potential returns too. |

Good luck with the ATO chasing down people to pay back their own super, the only ones complaining are industry funds run by former ALP and union organisers. The general consent amongst the Libs is the super is your money, you get to decide what to do with it. If I'd known better I'd have taken the $20k and bought small cap shares and turned the $20k into $100k within 12 months, then put the $20k back into super.

My missus works at the ato, one of the girls she works with is also permanent, but get this. She’s also fully employed by flight centre, and receiving the full job keeper allowance as well as her ato wage.
She has no intention of going back to work at flight centre, but intends to keep collecting the jk allowance as long as it’s there. It’s this sort of thing they should be cracking down on, but as it stands currently there’s no rule against it. The worst she will face is a tax bill. |

I think that is the thing I hate most about this. Too many people who could work not doing so. But to be fair that is same before all of this anyway just worse.
What they need to realise that this will be a short to mid term solution and better to be in a job now IMO even if you have to get off your **** and potentially be paid less to do so. I would work for less than sit on my **** for more. Because the music stops eventually. I don't understand people with this attitude to be honest. |

Not changing industry but certainly chasing more pesos. But I was thinking the economy was not that great so didn't really pursue it luckily |

Big difference in attitudes towards anti lockdown protests compared to BLM protests? This is ridiculous - pregnant woman arrested in her house and had computers and phones seized for organising local protest. |

Daughter went for a job interview, & went to shake their hand as she introduced herself, & was told it was an instant fail as your not allowed to do that in these current times. Clearly there is something wrong with all this.

If that’s how they treat (understandably nervous) people, your daughter may have dodged a bullet.

If she was expecting batons, tear gas and armed SWAT to make her video more exciting she needs to move to the USA and not Ballarat. Sympathy count in this household is the same as the care factor - a big fat zero.

This, the exact reason i could not work for a company with a HR department and i'm self employed, Covid has just added to the madness we have nanny state and now nanny companies telling you how to act. I was lucky enough to do a engineering trade that taught a good work ethos, pride in what you do and taking personnel responsibility at work, no need for a HR dept to direct how you act.

A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 — and an Interesting New Theory Has Emerged
https://elemental.medium.com/a-super...d-31cb8eba9d63 "Covid-19 is like a burglar who slips in your unlocked second-floor window and starts to ransack your house. Once inside, though, they don’t just take your stuff — they also throw open all your doors and windows so their accomplices can rush in and help pillage more efficiently." Interestingly....mini prize goes to Goosey. "Jacobson’s team also suggests vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug. The vitamin is involved in the RAS system and could prove helpful by reducing levels of another compound, known as REN. Again, this could stop potentially deadly bradykinin storms from forming." |

So with the cdc reclassifying their death count, how long before other countries start doing similar?
Going to be hard to continue with the current narrative of pushing fear and shame if all of a sudden the death rate drops by 90%. |

Do you have a link for the CDC reclassifying the death count down 90%?
