Green slip rip off

kill the pensioners and get cheeper green slips!

 

You won't be getting a $3k payment for your co-contribution???
Or are you talking about SG payments?

Get in a defined-benefits scheme. Go nuts and get paid out.
Don't get any surprise life-threatening illnesses, though.

 

I never can figure that. WTF has Full Comprehensive got to do with Third
Party? Or are Full Comprehensive policies covering some personal injuries
now too?

Fully comp with anyone, or fully comp with them?

If with them, then they just want to encourage you to pay the premium I
expect. If with anyone, then it's probably because they think if you
get fully comp you are a more responsible rider.

SIlly really, cos pretty well anyone who has an expensive modern
sportbike has bought it on the drip and has to have fully comp, and how
many R1s in the wreckers then?

when i checked last it was with them

yep discount for being with them

on that note the CB250 esky mobile i had i asked the questions as it hadnt
been registered for so
long and had to get the greenslip so went through the quotes in a NRMA shop

ok so i will need green slip $250
3rd party damage $150 or there abouts
so $400

ok what about full comp
$300 and you will get $100 off green slip so green slip $150
total $450

hmm ok so for $50 more i can have full comp sounds good

ok do the policy for 92 CB250 which has only 4500 kays because its been in
someones
backyard for 10 years and because of the kays they would only insure fo
$3500 which made full comp $450

asked em to get me $3500 for the CB and i would be over the moon , not a
buckleys chance in hell for a 10 year
faded CB250 , but all they could say is thats what the computer says so
thats it then

needless to say i just said give us a greenslip then

a lot more people than you think own their bike and dont have full comp
because they want to ream you a new one every year

 

What about them?

The top income tax rate in Australia is 47%. This kicks in for income
exceeding $62,500pa. Tax rates for lesser amounts of income are lower. If
you're going to insist that such a framework can result in an overall tax
rate of more than 50% of total income, then your maths might just be weak
enough to make the government (sorry, "govenment") more capable of spending
your money than you... I mean, seeing how you can't even count, really...

Couple of questions for you...

What is the total tax collected by the Australian Government?
What is the total paid out in unemployment and parenting allowances?

Does the latter amount really come to_half_the former amount?

If it doesn't, or if you don't know, or if you can't be bothered finding
out, then I dismiss you as a wanker who shoots his mouth off and skips the
bit about asking questions altogether...

....and here I was thinking Teutons were supposed to be a precise people. No
wonder they kicked you out.

Not at all... according to Origin Energy and Energy Australia websites, to
qualify for a concession on your residential energy bill, you need to be a
holder of:

-Pensioner Concession Card
-Health Care Card
-Health Benefits Card
-Veterans' Affairs Gold Card

Pensioners are far more numerous than people in their mid 20's who are too
busy playing with this new toy they have called the Baseless Rant usually
envisage.

Yup. Because silly, uninformed twerps just keep on swallowing whatever red
herrings get dangled in front of them by those very same authorities they
claim to resent.

 

Sounds like you are in the Goverment. He says one thing (taxs, Fees and
charges) and you make up an argument about income tax!

I mean seeing how you can't even read, really!

And what is the percentage of those in receipt of sole parent benefit
who are over 25, or male, or sole parent due to death of spouse?

What is the current work test requirements for getting unemployment
benefits?

What is the current penance for proving stupidity to umpteen thousand
people on aus.moto?

- who thinks the answer to the last question is "give Zebee your bike"
but who fears the resultant avalanche of motorbicycles would bury
the house!

Well, there's up to 47% income tax, but while spending whats left of my
earnings, I also get to pay 10% GST, ~47% tax on any petrol I buy,
either 37% or 41% on alcohol (and something like 20% on tobacco if I
smoked), various stamp duties, licence and registration fees, noise
levies, Ansett rescue taxes, the new airport taxi tax, and thats all
_before_ the "optional road safety tax" I occasionally have to pay...

It wouldnt surprise me too much to find that 50% or more of the money I
earn ends up in Little Johnnys pockets...

In case it matters, I've got some good stories to tell about QBE if you
ask... 1 at fault claim, 1 not-at-fault claim, and one instance of
giving good advice over the phone for an incident involving a bike not
insured and run down by a car while it was parked.

I've always had comp insurance on my bikes, except when it was prohibitively
expensive or the insurance companies just didn't want to touch me, so I didn't
go shopping for the bike i'd always wanted, I went shopping for the bike I
could leave in a ditch on the side of the road and walk away from without
whinging and bitching about how much money I'd lost because of the big bad
insurance companies were trying to operate a profitable business.

Google would've served you well here in establishing:

1. Both my level of affiliation with and affinity for government, both the
present one we have and the concept in general.

2. Yubs' so-far perfect record of showing how big an ego he's got and how
laughably little there's actually there to back any of it up. It's a fair
bet that he used, and I quote, "taxs fees and charges" in the same way
Lionel Hutz says "defence rests" or "Case closed".

But, nah... much easier to just assume something suitable, innit?

It's not my problem that you'd rather bally-hoo on a newsgroup how much the
government skims off your super contributions than make like a normal person
and just find a shifty accountant.

The government expects you to lie and cheat on your tax return. Thus, they
take a bigger chunk out to balance it all out. After all, a pie goes further
when everyone involved squabbles over how big their slice should be, doesn't
it?

 

Are you sure this whole discussion isn't hypothetical? I mean, you're
clearly not old enough to be eligible for a driver's license, so what could
you have to do with green slips?

 

Around...

 

Sorry - not my modus operandus to research the past posting/habits of
every poster I respond too.

Again mind reading is not my forte - I did what a number of other
posters have done - I read the post as it stood.

If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck I will always assume a duck!

No that is not your problem - I suspect you don't have room for many more!

Do try to keep on track will you. The incoherance makes it difficult to
understand you and the spittle on the screen is difficult to wipe off!

not all of those are Little Johhny's earners though.

Enough are that it's more than the income tax, but dunno if more than
50%.
