The Ruby Princess, registered in tax haven Bermuda, appears to be one such ship. Professor Cheer said cruise companies paid "very little tax" in Australia.
Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund last week emerged with an 8 per cent stake in Carnival Corporation & plc after a $US6 billion emergency recapitalisation due to the coronavirus. The Australian operations have contributed strongly to the company’s profitability since a $US400 million writedown in 2017.
The company had aggressively moved to bring popular brands into its stable and had pioneered a less formal style of cruising, he said. "The cruising industry is acutely sensitive to customer perceptions and concerns, particularly relating to health and safety," an Australian parliamentary inquiry found in 2013, noting "sharp declines" in passenger numbers following September 11 attacks and the SARS epidemic.
mevanssmh carriefellner Shouldn't surprise anyone that this Company is oily ....just have a look at the spiv that runs it, ( the CEO ). But before you ban them all , better to check if these ships and their passengers contribute meaningfully to the Australian tourism industry .
mevanssmh carriefellner Australia start of January zero COVID19 now more than 5000. Home Affairs Border Force failed to stop, test, quarantine sea and air arrivals hosts to COVID19 that infected Australia. We need Royal commission now so same never happens again..
mevanssmh carriefellner What does this have to do with the ship being allowed to dock due to some bellend Hillsong politicians mother in law being on board ?
mevanssmh carriefellner That is not news! That’s well known. It doesn’t justify treating those on board like criminals, denying them care if they need it & assistance to return home. The cruise line needs to be held to account & those who act for it. Not the crew. Treat as you wish ours to be treated.
mevanssmh carriefellner Outrageous. Morrison, Frydenberg et al, constantly being assailed for tax reform, Labour went some way in their last election manifesto, but the aforesaid just want to protect their well off mates, the churches and the big end of town.
mevanssmh carriefellner Even if they did pay tax, we would never see a cent of it.
mevanssmh carriefellner So im paying way more tax than them...thanks a lot Scotty from marketing !
mevanssmh carriefellner So that means we should let people die? Being an arsehole is far too easy these days. We should review the tax system, yes, but the gov with any real tax reform was vilified by the media.
mevanssmh carriefellner Even many of the largest Australian Companies don't pay tax ... is this News?
GailCoastie mevanssmh carriefellner Whats the daily rate being paid to Wollongong for berthing a disease infested cruise ship?
mevanssmh carriefellner WGAF....make up done story the wife will believe category here. Find something meaningful to report...here's an idea why not actually analyse some stats about COVID19 and report them
mevanssmh carriefellner Along with a whole lot of other big companies. Why don’t you do a report/expose how much Twiggy, Gina etc don’t pay instead of just one company.
mevanssmh carriefellner Thought that was pretty obvious.
mevanssmh carriefellner from the 23rd March:
mevanssmh carriefellner This has always been known!! Obviously kept away from the media until now...
mevanssmh carriefellner They now need to the compensation!
mevanssmh carriefellner After this fiasco, Australia needs to pass more strict rules and regulations, 'pays no tax', I keep hearing this with regards to so many companies, it sickening. I paid tax all my working life, I expect others to do the same.
mevanssmh carriefellner No worries now let them pay all the hotel and medical bills
mevanssmh carriefellner That’s not an exclusive. We’ve always known it.
mevanssmh carriefellner Just keep the ship as compensation, we can sel it back to them and recoup some of the spent budget.
mevanssmh carriefellner This killer vessel is registered in Bermuda.
mevanssmh carriefellner FFS
mevanssmh carriefellner it was a monumental blunder by NSW as they caved in to d cruise lobby We should double d landing charges n charge $50/ea for health checks
mevanssmh carriefellner Diversion, an attempt to scrutinise the principles & credibility of the cruise line I see. Great Show this one!
mevanssmh carriefellner Send it back then simple . Can’t not have it overwhelming our health system and costing tax payer money .
mevanssmh carriefellner Gee... What a surprise
mevanssmh carriefellner we should charge double when they ask for Syd harbor berth plus $50/ea for health checks We should bill d crews being treated at NSW hosp $6k/day They should pay for everything Move cruise berth to Botany bay
mevanssmh carriefellner Exclusive? Wow, that would be a shock wouldn't it! I just can't believe the lightweight reporting coming out of this. Can one of u shock jocks just ask the whining passengers - why did u get on any boat after January? Warnings were abundant. But it wouldn't fit the narrative eh?
mevanssmh carriefellner Why would it? Because lots of Aussies holiday on it every year? That’s the scam of the cruise ship and we need to wake up to how it’s run and what it really offers!
mevanssmh carriefellner April 9 Nearly half of all deaths in Australia resulting from the coronavirus pandemic can be traced back to cruise ships. The Australian WB: Heads should roll today Gladys Peta Credlin: Hazzard “Mate, time to go.” Graham Richardson: “Staggering Hazzard still has a job,”
mevanssmh carriefellner No surprises there - and are they paying their staff while in quarantine?
mevanssmh carriefellner Yet the want access to our public health system.
mevanssmh carriefellner Does it not pay port fees? Do overseas airlines pay AU tax?
mevanssmh carriefellner Keep the boat as a down payment. We can scrap it for cash. parasites
mevanssmh carriefellner It doesn't pay any taxes lol. It's operated from the Bahamas.
