    Let's just hope the same people defending the church aren't bagging out Joe Hockey for playing by the rules as well.
    Is what Tinkler has done against the law or is it more so morally bankrupt??

    Not paying Super and entitlements and running companies into loss after weighing them down with debt and finally winding them up before then continuing under new $2 companies is not so much a game invented by Tinkler. He is just doing what plenty of others have done/do and that is manipulate the system to benefit himself at the expense of others.

    "The Law" doesn't touch people like him that's why it keeps happening.

    yep no doubt - what's the dunsters take on the corporate nonsense that is allowed to go on in this country?

    is it a necessary evil? do the benefits of one bloke pulling it off outweigh the ten who tank and file for bankruptcy?

    Not paying wages under the terms of an employment contract is against the law.

    Super is slightly different as all company setups are different.

    I am under 'obligation' to my Super company to pay my employees super quarterly. If I miss it they crack the shots but I don't think they can go after me.

    Im sure the super does need to be up to date at end of financial year though or else they can go you.
    (Thankfully I've never had any such dramas).

    Yes the ability to bankrupt companies with seemingly minor repurcussions a disgrace.

    But I also think that a lot of workplace laws are a disgrace but everyone seems cool to rip off 'the boss'.

    It ain't all one way traffic chief.

    Being that he is known for making bigoted statements and the fact the President has to bend over backwards to accommodate Israeli interests as the people who bank roll you to be president are Jewish and control the mediums who make or break you the chances of this happening are pretty ****ing slim

    Our prime minister getting deals to reduce wind farms. That's forward thinking right there. Wouldn't want those unsightly things in the future.

    ****ing hell. Wind is a great source of energy.

    I mean what the **** does it matter what it looks like? I don't like the plumes of steam from concrete chimneys but I still rely on them. I don't like the Lowe hunter being made into one of the largest ditches in the world, would much rather have a few wind turbines there to be honest, far less offensive.

    wasn't that whole idea based on a non-peer reviewed journal article by a South Australian professor who was on the pay roll of a certain resource company. And was basically based on the reports of a man who had a wind turbine on his property who complained of increased symptoms of his already diagnosed chronic disease.

    What environmental effects?

    The kind like a 600ml bottle of water takes 4L of water to make?
    Or the long lasting positive effect that clean energy production provides to the world?

    Not too sure. I haven't read that much but from scientific sources I can find there is no evidence for them even causing health problems.
    Allan Jones seems to think they are utter evil though

    I get what you mean, I still think that the pros outweigh the cons. Even without the information.
