Present 1.

When looking into this doco. for the club’s blog.  Reminded in Australia is in an election year – also, N.S.W. is to have a state election.  So with a second look, this content was viewed differently to that on the night of the club’s showing.

Britain by virtue of retaining small island possessions after the loss of empire since WW11.  Told that the UK has established a financial dominance through those island possessions as “tax havens”.   Investments in former empire domains and legal trust instruments, apart from other foreign entities utilise those havens.  Have strengthened a commercial-financial hub identified as the City of London.  Told the City of London administers those islands at “arms length”, and thankfully(sic) independent of Westminster's interference.

The presentation was to convince a streamer-viewer the practice of hiding assets in jurisdictions of tax advantage was/is abhorrent, especially that crime money was or could be laundered by this divisiveness.

In Australia we’ve a socialist nationalist outfit called the Labor Party.  Accepted by electors as the alternative to the current party in power.  The Labor Party has according to its parliamentary membership a tradition of profligacy.  The Australian Labor Party has signaled if elected will deny 2.1 million superannuates, 900,000 in pension phase of entitlement to imputation credits.  Many of the 900,000 need the refund to subsist.  As far as known, all superannuation contributions are held in (or by) Trusts;  Trusts apparently that cannot be moved into a safe environment, safe from exploitation.  Members and those who may read on, consider how the 900,000 might view this doco.(?)  The doco. doesn’t  examine the implication other than a call to ethical and moral repugnance.

Wanting as always to share observations on Don’s offering with members past and present with objective appraisal, with a expectation of concurrence.

Present 2.

The following provided for those who might be concerned.  It explains itself and is taken from a presentation shown at the club.   A highly disturbing bit of legislative “bastardry” as read in the month of the N.S.W. state election, remains a bill and pray, never sees passage in a future federal parliament.
