Aussie legal academic who loves queer, feminist and critical theory. At any given time, I have too many pets and need to work more in my garden. I try to be kind, but sometimes the snarkiness wins.

Opinions my own and not my employer's.
Important thread. There's a petition link to protest Everglades Auschwitz near the end of the thread.
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

And in your final year, your super grew from $2,861,301 to $3,017,016.

So it went up $155,715.

How much tax would you now owe due to the super tax changes?

$60,000? lol

$25,000?? roflol

$10,000??? oh please.

Cripes, only $1,000??????

Try $14.40.
Think you might one day have $3m in your super & be affected by the super tax changes?

Ok, you are 18yo, you just got a job - it pays... $150k!
Give yourself a 3.7% annual pay rise.
Never take time off for study, kids or illness.

You will retire with $3,017,016

Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes.

They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year!

Yep a $1.18m increase.

How much extra tax?

$1,528!

OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

Well, that was a pretty decisive Australian election result.

They came for the trans people.

They came for the brown people (immigrant, citizen or otherwise).

They're coming for the lawyers.

You know how this ends.
1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation

Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"

Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company
Fortune 500 company abruptly fires lawyer who helped immigrant family
On March 4, Clay Jackson, an attorney in the Dallas area, was at a gas station near his home when the attendant asked if he would help a local immigrant family.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.

Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.

Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

The US is not a safe place.

Let's hope that this is not the plan for Australia when our opposition leader is talking about taking "woke" (i.e. research and policies that are anti-bigotry, compassionate, and justice oriented) out of Australian universities.
