The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

They're in on the giggle themselves.

Catholic Church even owns pokies venues.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

It's just so entrenched.

It's very, very difficult to wind back 200,000 poker machines in 5,000 venues all over the country bar WA, which never introduced them to their benefit.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

Yes.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

That's my final rant for the day.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

I'll let you choose the last question, boss, because we're almost out of time.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

Lynette, I think it was, or we had one that made a really good point, is that those working in the charitable sector, there's a $15,900 FBT benefit that was introduced –

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

25 years ago to make it more competitive for charities and not-for-profits to hire workers.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler

So you're able to hire them and you get this $15,900 benefit on your FBT and that hasn't been indexed for more than 20 years.

That's the criticism.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

So it should be $30,000 now.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

And I guess my thought is, look, it's a fair point.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

It hasn't been indexed.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

But given that charities don't pay corporate tax either, there's also a question of competition and how level the playing field should be.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

And the charities already have it pretty good.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

as in they can offer workers, you know, this $15,900 FBT benefit and then they don't pay taxes.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

So, I don't know.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

But look, it's a fast-growing sector.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

There's lots and lots of, you know, the big Anglicares and the Salvos.
