FFS leave GST alone Chippy

[harm_less]

Works in Oz I believe...

Btw, I am a single person household. I would save around $6 a fortnight, so $150 odd a year. A bigger household would save a lot more I suspect.

Worth having, if it filtered through.

Worth having a look at their reg's: https://www.ato.gov.au/business/gst/in-d...STfreefood

Scenario - At the fish shop order fresh fish (GST free), order it grilled or crumbed/battered, then pay GST on the preparation costs and whatever ingredients fall foul of the GST free threshold. How about the chips, salad or condiments? Or on that note where do pre-prepared salads fall? Cauliflower vs. bags of individual florrets?

As soon as you put exclusions on any taxation it's just asking for someone to game the system. Messy!

We have a system that is admired around the world. Crazy to muck it up for the sake of a few votes. Labour are getting desperate. Trying to get votes for 16 year olds was crazy. Made people realise how worried they are.

In that respect this election could be won or lost on the vote of the youngest, if they can be sufficiently incentivised to bother voting. The Gen Z'ers and Millenials will be most affected by the increasing environmental degradation we are imparting on our planet. For that reason the Greens are well placed to gain votes from the young because they are, or should be, most concerned about the environment.
