17.01.2022 The countdown is on, Auskey will stop working at the end of this month. Why is the ATO Introducing myGovID? Modern security standards require multi-factor authentication to verify that the person who is logging in is who they say they are. AUSkey does not meet those standards, especially where an AUSkey is shared or attached to a desktop computer. AUSkey also has extensive browser compatibility issues, cannot be used on a mobile device, and has a difficult installation proce...ss. For more information on how to get your myGovID setup check out our post on our new website.

10.01.2022 Each Friday we don our Cheesman Appelgarth polo shirts and contribute a gold coin to a kitty and when it reaches $150 we donate it to a local charity. This time we have been able to donate $150.00 to allow the Toowoomba Hospice which will help them continue the great work they do providing free palliative care to the terminally ill. 2020 has been particularly tough on fundraising for Toowoomba Hospice. The Toowoomba Hospice is a community based private healthcare facility whi...ch provides free palliative care to the terminally ill (18 years and older). Their facility has been designed to provide patients with a family friendly "home like" environment during the final phase of their life (within their last 3 months of their life). Their management and staff uphold the community's respect for the sacredness of human life, and the right for vulnerable people to receive professional care and support when they most need it. They are currently raising money towards Solar Panels. Solar Energy will allow the Toowoomba Hospice to reduce their carbon footprint and do their part for our planet. It will also ensure savings received from having solar panels can be redistributed back into their service. For more information about the Toowoomba Hospice to https://www.toowoombahospice.org.au.

03.01.2022 A big spending Budget that is all about jobs On Tuesday 6 October, the Treasurer, The Hon Josh Frydenberg MP, delivered the delayed 202021 Federal Budget, his second Budget. How times change. In April last year, Mr Frydenberg delivered a Budget that was forecast to produce a surplus. Now, thanks largely to the economic shocks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government is faced with record deficits and high unemployment.... The Government’s response is a Budget that is all about jobs, helping those who are out of a job get into a job and helping those that are in work, stay in work. Mr Frydenberg said there is no economic recovery without a jobs recovery and no budget recovery without a jobs recovery". To that end, the government is spending a lot of money both directly and indirectly (bringing forward the 202223 tax cuts and providing incentives for business to hire and invest). The Government's overall response and recovery support is $507 billion, including $257 billion in direct economic support. But it may not end there. As Treasury points out, there remains substantial uncertainty around the global and domestic outlook, including around the spread of the coronavirus, future outbreaks, as well as timing and efficacy of vaccines and other medical treatments. Only time will tell if the measures in this Budget are sufficient and/or well targeted. Checkout the full Budget Summary here
