We have personal accountants and a super accountant - and, I am very happy with the super accountant - he has kept me on the straight and narrow and very well informed - my bitch isn't about the costs that we get from him personally - but, it's the fact that we need him to such a level in the first place.
Canberra as far as I can see is just full of BS and crazies who have pretty much no bloody idea of how the world works - other than for giving themselves a feathered nest.
I have always thought that it's easy to see why people do what they do - be it lower tax or welfare people doing what they do - it's not because of the people - it's because of the rules that they are given to play under.
I have always thought that for most of it - it's exactly what you would design if you sat down and said - now, what can I do to make this a complete stuff up?
