Sizewell B has just been granted a 20 year lIfe extension at a cost of £800BN. It still hasn't found a home for the nuclear waste which is "temporarily" housed at its on site dome. I have worked at Sizewell B and it is an expensive plant to keep going. But the thing is, it is an extension to existing plant. It is not investing in new plant. It's suitability doesn't automatically apply to Australia. 25 years ago - yeah nuclear would have been the way to go for Aus. But renewables technology has moved too far forward now.. And it continues to do so. And allowing it to go ahead is probably more a political decision than technical

Yours looks a little warmer than where I was last night on the Bellarine Peninsula (come to think about it, not too far from where home is for you)

And the point is?

I would have said bringing some of the good weather with me. As it was, the plane had more lateral movement on landing than I thought normal

How can you fellas say its wet here. Today at tulla (Crappy phone camera)

Or did a bot post this?

But fair

In the event anything went awry with the job you would have to pick up the tab to make good. A contract designed to avoid paying CGT is an illegal contract and totally unenforceable. Yes, they do rob other taxpayers and as a result, things like income tax rates and even CGT itself theoretically has to be higher. Also my guess is should the taxman find out about it, you will have to cough up the GST + penalties + interest. Even if they charged you the CGT component as well. In fact it is likely the extra 10% you would have paid had you not questioned it will be calculated as the invoiced amount and then the 10% applied to determine how much GST you initially owed. I know this is something you wouldn't normally do, and as we all do, is a lapse.. but as they won't declare the job, they are increasing the casts they can offset against jobs they do put on the books, thereby reducing the tax they pay on those profits.. and by not putting that job on the books, they are also avoiding paying tax on the profits they make on that. It adds up to more than the GST saved in lost tax revenue

On another topic.. Who would have thought that one would say I am travelling from the UK to Australia to cool down for a bit?

Follow the money.. all will be answered

Slurred words

I don't disagree.. I just googled average afl club revenue v average nba (USA) revenue and according to the fountain of knowledge the average revenue for an NBA team is 18 times that of the average revenue of an AFL team. Given there are only 5 players on the basketball court v 18 on the afl field per team, the revenue per player skyrockets

I don't think any of the AFL clubs are privately owned (though Sydney was for a bit). I am guessing none of the ARL clubs are either. I know a lot of clubs or the league oats rent to the stadiums they do not own. It may not be entirely profitable bit it keeps it affordable for a good number of people. Compared to Europe and the USA, sports here is positively poor

Actually, I figured I woould try one more local shop to see if they could take the bike while I was in Aus.. To their credit, they said they would, but they aren't the best with electrics and I would be paying for their training. I liked that honesty. They referred me to the shop that they send their bikes to, which is the one I wanted to go to that has no availability until the end of August. I booked it in anyway, in case I can't fix it myself on my return; At least it is scheduled and won't be pushed back even further.
