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.

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).

We'll miss Breann but good luck to her and the impending new arrival.

I wonder if she will return next season and chalk up 100 games as a Bluebagger.  I hope she does.

Your last 1/2 sentence is the only correct bit of all that, the rest is hysteria.
They are taxing Discretionary trusts.....thats the facts.
Expected return is 4.5 Billion over 5 years...
but its not a cash grab, and the elephant in the room, is that most of the taxes they're bringing in, particularly capital gains, is a tax on money thats already been taxed! 

Thats why people are getting annoyed.

Campo on his home deck would have to be chance as well.
Probably, Flynn Young also needs a game at some level as he didn’t play last week. Not a direct replacement for Hollands hence why Acres will probably play, maybe in place of Evans although won’t provide the same level of pressure. 
I dont know if Evans had a negating role last week but he seemed ineffective. Has been like that for a few weeks and he'd be the one I'd drop for Young. Problem with Young is that he's been held over for a few weeks and hasn't played at any level.
