I have no idea whether similar fatwas exist covering the treatment of male slaves or even perhaps 'beheading for beginners'.
sigh.
Police will allege two Sydney men arrested this morning by counter-terrorism police were planning possible attacks on a range of targets, including the Navy base at Garden Island on Sydney Harbour.
The men, 24-year-old Abdullah Salihy from Merrylands in the city’s west and Mohammed Almouie, 20, from the southwest suburb of Bankstown, were arrested at home. Both are expected to be charged and will appear in court today.
This looks to me like code for 'we haven't been able to get any court decisions to go our way.'
"“Some of these foreign owned companies are overly aggressive in the way they structure their operations. We will continue to challenge the more aggressive arrangements to show that we are resolute about ensuring companies are not unreasonably playing on the edge. If they do, they can expect to be challenged.”"
So there you go. Another non-story from a bureaucrat who wants more funding to build a bigger empue.
Mining companies, which are battling the hangover from the resources boom, and foreign-owned finance companies still carrying the wounds of the global financial crisis were the most likely to pay no tax. However, the data also showed some companies in other sectors apparently operating on non existent or razor-thin profit margins.
