Replying to @nickpmclaren
@nickpmclaren Forget spending money on the trains and invest in scaling up local businesses so folks don’t have to commute to sydney at all. More of their money stays local, their commute time to community groups and family, and just a better lifestyle in general.

@drnic That’s fair. Benefit of the doubt though - they comply with the law in each jurisdiction they operate in.
Scathing. Love it.
Still, there is the major point that keeps coming up in the AFR about tax and revenue. International transfer pricing allows companies to license/sell goods and services between subsidiaries. Offshore the profit. Netflix isn’t wrong, laws allow the practice.
