What an idiot.

Correct.

How Ridiculous to Make such a Law, but Trump takes NO notice of any Rules, Laws or Protocols. He's a LAW unto Himself. Anyone with even 1/2 a Brain can work out that's NOT on. Nev

You Must be Wilfully Blind to Reality GON. Look what's REALLY Happening. They owe a lot. Have high inflation, Fuel more expensive than Here and no other Nation can TRUST the USA to keep a promise. and Trump is SICK. Nev

To paraphrase an old saying, He who lives by the Law, dies by the Law. There is a law in the USA which says that if a terrorist organisation attacks US interests with drones, that organisation cannot be removed from the list of terrorist organisations for four years. In April 2026, the US Administration informed the Congress that an Iranian organisation ws hitting US interests with drones. The nett result is that the US cannot lift sanctions against Iran as promised in the current peace agreement. This video explains it.

At That Hospital Opportunity KNOX and on one wears a Mask. Even if you are dying you have to Pay as a priority., They have a Lot of disputation with Insurers. Nev

It's in a PHON electorate, so all will be well. Nev

Norton had that set up on their Military 16H Model (2 wheel drive). Several German Makes Predated them. Nev .

These Days it's Fool You. Nev

You're better than me OT. I thought the first bit was "F*** you" then couldn't figure out the rest. 😄

"If you can dream it, you can do it". Universally attributed as a saying, to Walt Disney - but the experts claim it was an advertising executive working for GE, who wrote it on a GE recruiting brochure.

Wasn't BMW the original 2WD motorcyle/sidecar combination of WW2? Did Ural copy them?

The only thing needed for munitions storage is a large cleared area in a rural location, with substantial earth bunds around the perimeter to deflect any detonated munitions blast. Then they just set out sea containers at spaced intervals to store the munitions. If large missiles are needed to be stored, these may require a concrete and earth hardened bunker. Not much threat to us, but the earthmovers and concrete suppliers will be clinking champagne glasses when they get the construction job.

Trump has debunked the adage that wisdom comes with age.

Two television celebrities put themselves up as candidates in elections to find a leader for their countries. One did it as a joke, and became a respected leader. The other did it to become the leader, and became a joke.

A capital gain on a personal use asset is subject to CGT if it cost you more than $10,000 to acquire the asset. Capital losses on personal use assets are ignored. This means you can't use a capital loss on a personal use asset to reduce capital gains on other assets (including other personal use assets). Personal use assets are CGT assets that you keep for your personal use or enjoyment. They include: boats furniture electrical goods household items an option or right to acquire a personal use asset a debt resulting from a CGT event involving a CGT asset kept for your personal use making a private loan to a family member or friend. The following are not classed as personal use assets: collectables – these may be subject to CGT your main residence, which is generally exempt from CGT cars, which are exempt from CGT. If you dispose of personal use assets individually that would usually be sold as a set, you get the exemption only if you acquired the set for $10,000 or less.

Some things they track. For example, all aircraft change of registrations are notified to the tax office.

$42 M in Australia today does not buy you a radio announcer or a union delegate, let alone a munitions storage.

Just to be clear this is not a new rule. The method of valuation has changed. I am not necessarily disagreeing with your points, though.

They are riding Chinese bikes.

Since we are merrily drifting far from thread title, I ask.... Are those Ural bikes what Russia is presently using for motorbike invasion of Ukraine? I'm guessing the newer ones are built to a higher standard than the early ones?

Oh, great. Just what we need. Another big target on our backs.

Well, I hope we make a lot of money from it and they are building us an effective iron dome

I neglected to include the difficulty of enforcement (train/phone at the time), but if when you sell someone wants a receipt, you are going to be, if only slightly, a little more at risk because the next bloke nay get audited and he produces a receipt from you. Granted, the risk is tiny, but regardless $500 for a single item that doesn't have an exemption for, say not having up to a reasonable amount of the type of collectable for normal use whether you can prove it is for normal use or not is scummy and shows they may be prepared to use it against the little people when there are far bigger fish to fry. It's about a culture as opposed to the probability of enforcement... IMHO
