We are never going to reduce carbon emissions when governments and businesses exploit loopholes and burn fuel for fun.

“Qatar’s ghost flights – an open secret within the aviation sector – are “taking the piss” out of Australia’s strict aviation laws, industry sources say, and are occurring despite the Albanese government rejecting the airline’s formal request to increase flights out of concern the extra capacity would go against Australia’s “national interest”.

“The Qatari-government owned airline is currently limited to running 28 weekly services into Australia’s four major airports – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth – allowing it to run once-daily return flights from Doha into each of these cities.

“However, under the existing bilateral agreement, there is no limit placed on how many services Qatar is able to run to non-major airports.”

Forget about #tax write offs and #loopholes for a moment and consider the money that you spend on things like the food you eat, the house you live in and your transportation. The wealthy also eat food, live someplace, and get around. In order to pay for that they must use money. Somehow they're not paying taxes on that money.

I wanted to cancel my broadband contract, but as I had six months left on it, my provider wanted £70 to cancel it.

So instead, I *renewed* my contract, which cost me nothing to do. Stay with me on this.

Fast forward to today. I rang up my provider and cancelled my broadband. "What?", I hear you ask. Well, I was now within my 14-day cool-off period on a new contract, so I was legally allowed to cancel with no penalty or fees 😂

#German #arms export law. Hope dies fast. What the Ministry of Economic Affairs has planned so far does not go far enough. The concern: In the end, the law could open more #loopholes than close them. https://taz.de/Regelung-der-Ruestungsexporte/!5898430/
