Haydn, not complaining , well, at least not excessively..
Merely pointing out the loony ideas to extract SMSF funds on the basis that it would be "good for Australia"
Seemingly, "for the Good of Australia" is a new way to disguise jealousy and to level the playing field downwards to the LCD.
You say Australia is pretty good? OK, I will agree it's not bad, but as for great? ... The jury's still out.
Tell me, how's the cost of housing in Germany? Cost of normal living? Personal freedom? My experience is that Australia is 2nd to Germany. But the weather and beaches in Australia are certainly Excellent!
I've retired, what on earth would possess me to buy a small business and go broke dealing with red tape, green tape and petty government bureaucracies? I only sound crazy on HC, but I'm pretty sane otherwise.
