Its that time of year Again, Time to file Tax Returns!

Yes people the financial year finished on 30th June and we are now in a new financial year. Even though its a new year but it doesnt seem like fun. Globally there are reports that we might be heading to another recession soon but for now I will just say to all Australians to concentrate on job ahead by getting all their paper work together i.e Group Certificate, payslips and file out the tax return for the financial year.

I for one did not have the best of the last financial year but I'm an optimist and I believe that good times are coming ahead provided we make the right choices today and tomorrow.

File your Tax returns soon.

What's the guarantee that Labor will not bring back Full Mining Tax?

I've been watching  Labor's lame attempt to blame opposition saying that Tony Abbott will bring back WorkChoices. While I'm no fan of it and would vote against it but this cheap attempt by Labor to confuse voters is condemnable.

Labor says that Coalition will bring back WorkChoices if it comes back to power then the same analogy can be used against Labor Government too. We all know that Labor back tracked on mining tax due to fear of losing elections. What is the guarantee that if Labor wins next election they will not bring this great new tax?

There is No Guarantee either way so nobody should start claiming on future events. Such ridiculous argument only shows that some political parties have no respect for Australian Voters.

Made in Australia is what Australia needs

Apart from General Public which by and large is sick of Cheap chinese goods even many economists feel that "Australian made" products can bring new life into Australian Economy. Over the years Australian industries have folded up in front of the might of "Made in china" brand which is 10 times cheaper.

However, we all know that what kind of quality we get from there. Moreover the large distance is also becoming a major problem these days. Recently there was a news report that when Child Star Justin Bieber visited Sydney a major girl clothing company needed hundreds of supporter T-Shirts. Time was a premium so instead of ordering cheap T-Shirts from China they asked a local company.

Not only they got their T-Shirts done in no time but a flagging industry got a ray of hope. I believe that "Made in Australia" brand is still very much in demand especially in industries like clothing and accessories. Australian businesses should pay more attention to this sector. Not only it is a great business idea but it can transform Australian Economy by generation of thousands of Jobs.
