By buying Apple products we are endorsing this company's Aussie
tax minimisation program.

It beats me why seemingly normal Aussies on this board seem to
support little or no corporate tax and at the same time advocate
less benefits for Australians in need.

Third world countries have low taxes and even lower rates of recovery
and if Australia does not wake up we'll find ourselves relegated to
this league.

We have a proud history of giving everyone a fair go

Hi MM
Can you tell me how it is that the government has just finished a investigation of the major companies in Australia and found only one which was not paying the correct tax
I went through the figures for Google and it appears to be paying 0.9 % of turnover in tax
