Budget 08

I'm not concerned about the tax cuts in general although they look nice - I don't personally find the burden too onerous and I like the availability of public services. I'm not going to complain though :)

Of more interest is this snippet:

Increasing the GST registration threshold from $40,000 to $50,000

This gives me some breathing space :) Some of my forecasts were getting dangerously close to the 40k mark - and you have to register if you expect to break the margin over the next 12 months time period, regardless of if you actually make that much.

Now what?

The cat has a well-fleshed chicken carcase, and hes still complaining at me.

Heard from the panelbeaters this afternoon - parts hopefully arrive on Tuesday, then they can start actually fixing. They're doing the door separately as a private job :-/

It's really quite warm, but I've lit the fire to get some heat in the place and warm up the blocks for winter.
