The Australian Salary Packaging Industry Association, via agency CHE Proximity, has launched ‘Who’s Next?’, a major campaign against the Rudd Government’s proposed changes to FBT on cars.
ASPIA aims to inform the wider community about what the changes to FBT mean, and how they will affect individuals, employers and industries, in particular the car manufacturing and related industries. ASPIA was formed in 2010 and represents salary packaging and car leasing providers across Australia.

Clems advertising for pro-Liberal Party “Industry Associations”? Who’d a thunk it?
Kick this mob out
@David
The government or the creatives? Or both?
Oh, Boo Hoo. These changes are only a problem if you’re doing a fiddle. If you’re not rorting the system, you have nothing to fear from this tightening of the rules. I shamelessly claimed my car lease and running costs back in the day, so I know how it works and how utterly widespread and standardised the practise was and is. Entire industries have been created off the back of FBT rorting – which is really getting the Australian taxpayer to subsidise your lifestyle – and they had this coming. A company specialising in salary packaging??? Give me a (tax) break! But go ahead and vote for the Libs if you’re happy to be sucked in by this as part of a wider campaign of disinformation. Imagine Phoney Tony representing Australia on the world stage! I guarantee you’ll be howling for his removal in a few years when the penny drops and you see what a total fake he is. But then, that’s just the cycle in Australian politics. One false messiah after another. Oh, and feel free to disagree with me – after all, I’m not the suppository of all knowledge. LOL.
Turn it up OLD CD guy! The Kevin Rudd initiated – Henry Tax Review of 2011 never saw it as a fiddle, in fact made it quite clear it should say it was of net benefit to the economy to the tune of 1 billion plus. And your comrade Bill Shorten issued a press release shortly thereafter proclaiming the virtues of salary packaging to the Australian public. Perhaps you should tell the manufacturing industry workers, the teachers, public serants, oh and not to mention charity workes who have made sensible use of this system to help supplement their minimal wages that it is just a case of ‘boo hoo’. And putting that to one side, any Governement with a nose for good governance would actually consult the industries and individuals they are seeking to pull the carpet from underneath. Out of respect for the employees of that industry, the flow on effects to others and to reinforce investor confidence in general. This Government has a track record of making policy on the riun, and this is tey another outrageous example. Your man has had two goes at the job of running the country and they both resembe a Greek tragedy, with a similarly Greek fiscal outlook! Any change right about now would be change for the better..
