Another plum job up for grabs, maybe in Florence? What grit to have your cake then smear it all over your face and ■■■■ off when there’s only stale bread left to eat. Taking a leaf from David Cameron or the leagues of Trump appointees, gettin’ out while the goin’s good, or at least early enough not to suffer too much blowback?

We are in Higgins and my wife got junk mail from her yesterday - more waste of taxpayer’s money.
O’Dwyer - no loss all at. In fact F.O.

at what ??? Or is this humour?
Guarantee you she will walk into a senior role at a bank, consulting firm or board role.
She’s been a cabinet minister, articulate, worked in investment banking before, intelligent etc, etc. Not all pollies are hopeless.

Mining company, like all those other evil ■■■■■ do
Looked her up.
Arts/Law at Melbourne Uni followed by employment at Freehills(arguably the best law firm). You can disagree with her politics, but I’d back that pedigree to show she is a talented lady.
Slow walking pace? They’re particularly easy to evade if you’re walking.
Kelly O’Dwyer has provided a new nadir in mediocrity in Australian politics despite her qualifications and privileged background.
Good riddance

The wealthy retirees living in that electorate who have had their superannuation stuffed around with have been gunning for her for a while. There’s no way she could have retained that seat.

So if I understand this correctly. If you made over 500K voluntary super contributions, they would back date taxes for the amount over?
Those people who somehow got $10m in their super funds (despite annual limits on contributions) and expected to get it all tax-free after 60, but big mean Malcolm made them have to put all but $1.6m into a tax-paying fund.
Super was meant to be a way of funding a comfortable retirement, not a luxurious one.
That was a bad mistake making all super tax-free after age 60 back in 2007. If they’d just raised the thresholds, we wouldn’t have the stink about Shorten’s plan to abolish cash refunds of franking credits.

Oh, my heart bleeds for the retirees who now can only place $1.6m (each) into tax-free super — a couple at a sustainable 4% withdrawal rate can now only have $128K per year tax-free!
(They can get more tax free income elsewhere – e.g. sell shares making a profit of $36K each a year. Half capital gains on that keeps it within the normal tax-free threshold. And then as many fully-franked dividends as they like.)

(IIRC, the excess is only charged at 15%, so whoopee-doo. Might have to give the butler one day off per week.)

Thanks Noonan saw you replying and knew you would tell me. For some reason, I thought 1.6 million limit has been around forever.
You nearly there? Only got 1.47 million more to get to the limit myself.

Regardless of your politics, changing the rules after the fact is a dickmove and a lot of people wanted her gone.
