Good in theory but Gina, Bruce,Clive and co wont be paying any extra, they never do, middle Australia will pick up the tab and everyone will have to pay more for health insurance when the over 65's start dropping out of private insurance after losing the rebate and driving the costs up.

Under these rules I believe it's going to come out of the inheritance unless they willfully divest themselves of property prior to death, and that's not going to happen.

So you are right, they won't pay while they are alive but the tax will still be paid.

Righto brains trust, does anyone know how to contact Uber/Uber Eats to discuss a traffic accident with one of their delivery riders? My daughter was travelling home from work on Friday night and got hit by one when he decided to cut in front of her and go right from the bike lane as she was turning left into a main road on a green arrow. She has a witness who saw it all but thats not the issue. The guy only gave a name, address phone number when my daughter called the police when he initially refused and they instructed him to exchange details whilst on speaker phone.
These menace on our roads have no id on them, no identification plates on their e-bikes and they get away with doing damage.
She called me as she was frightened and I rushed there as they were exchanging numbers.
Surely they are employed by Uber as either casuals or contractors, they must give details of their employer. Surely they are covered by insurance by Uber?
We have looked online on how to contact them, good luck with that. Can anyone offer any tips?
