Fraser's thoughts on Vossy and the win; "We’ve exchanged text messages. He was proud of the group, his fingerprints were all over last week’s result - I was really pleased for the players and hopefully ‘Vossy’ found some joy in seeing a victory as well."

Vossy's departure on his own terms, insofar as timing, probably gives him more scope to enjoy our wins than the six coaches we've sacked this century.

Yep. Just listened to the same thing at Frase's media conference. This acknowledgement from Frase says volumes about how this particular ex coach is viewed by the club... very, very different -- as you point out David -- to other coaches who've departed this century. I think we can safely say that the club has 'turned the corner.'

I'd still love to see Vossy considered to replace Diesel on the Board.

Thanks EB - when discussing discretionary trusts, it is probably important to distinguish them!  Without having looked at this, I assume that the recipients of distributions would receive the franking credit?
Yep that's how I understand it too Dodge...the trustee would have paid tax on the total income and then the Individual beneficiaries get the tax credit subject to their tax rate etc.

How I understand it is that Discretionary testamentary trusts are set up in a will and are not taxed when at death but when they are disbursed.The reforms would change that by applying the minimum rate on a trust’s taxable income before distributing it.

is that most of the taxes they're bringing in, particularly capital gains, is a tax on money thats already been taxed!

How has a capital gain already been taxed?

Discretionary Trusts will be taxed and then a franking credit applied to the recipient.  This was first floated in the early 2000s (there was a lot of work preparing for this to come in).
