The 'Dick-meister' implies that because people don't claim these kinds of deductions, they aren't doing anything for charity.
I'll back Dick on this. Australians with a taxable income of over 1 million dollars are the stingiest, tightest group of all the developed economies. Conversely, Australians are the best donaters of their time to charitable causes out of the developed economies. How about '1 million taxable incomers' leave donating their time to Australians that haven't got a spare dollar to donate.
Australians that need help don't need some wealthy tightarse, slapping themself on the back, congratulating themself at how generous they are with their 'such valuable time' cooking them a snag at a soup kitchen, that can be left to someone who's time rich and money poor.
As to this:
Perhaps some of these people don't need or want the world to know about their charitable works?
How many of this type do you reckon exist in Australia?
