So you think stopping overseas pensions after 4 weeks will save less than $20M a year? Go back to school scaremonger! They are talking about the current scheme of 6 weeks being reduced to 4 weeks for reducing some payments.

 

Another brain fart from KH.

Another member posted it on another thread.  I posted the direct link to their costings. 

 

The words are, "Overseas eligibility for social services payments – reduce to four weeks."  Now, if you think that reads just for pension supplements, then that's up to you, but the words "social services payments" with an emphasis on the word "payments" as opposed to "supplements" reads different to me. 

 

Google "Dutton to cut pensions after 4 weeks if overseas" and you will see the Facebook pages of some Labor MP's pushing it out on their social media.   They are at the top of page 1 on that Google search.  

 

The title of one is, "Peter Dutton will stop your age pension if you go overseas."  That's from Steve Georganas MP who holds the seat of  Adelaide.  Now, maybe, just maybe, do you think he's well informed about it before he goes public? 

 

If you think it's just the supplements that will stop after 4 weeks instead of 6 weeks, good for you, but I would call your "interpretation" a brain fart.

Playing the poster and not the post. 

 

Any comment on the Liberal's policy?  Perhaps you think it will only apply to guys like Paul Hogan. 

Still waiting for your previous, relentless scaremongering campaign about non resident tax rates to be legislated. How much longer you think?  🤣🤣🤣

The previous Liberal government proposed them, and the current Labor government DID NOT bin them.

"Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones told an Australian Chamber of Commerce event in Singapore this week the new rules for deciding Australian tax residency were in “the government’s in-tray” ahead of the October budget, and the day limit was “being looked at." 

 

It appears it's not if, just when, and the who doesn't really matter. 

 

I don't know how much longer, but in my opinion the proposed changes haven't just gone away.  The current laws are 90 years old and are no longer fit for purpose.  It's only a matter of time before they are modernized. 

 

Geez, Thailand even has the 180 day law, with many other countries having a similar tax residency model, but you seem to think Australia will never bring in a 183 day law.  It's laughable.

 As I said, go back to school. $25,000 times 800 pensioners equals $20M. So, according to there are only 800 pensioners living overseas. Haha. Caught out as a scaremonger again. Do you sleep at night? I doubt it.

 

KH caught out again. Will he ever learn from his mommy's basement? I doubt it! You are a fool!
