[extropy-chat] Australia really is a different democracy from America

[Emlyn]

lol! I particularly loved this:

"Mr La Rosa welcomed Friday's decision, saying that if the authorities
wanted to tax his profits, they should also take account of his
losses. "

(this is a guy who's income was assessed by the tax office for a
particular year as A$450,000, claiming this was A$220,000 too high
because that money was stolen from him)

Fair call, really.
