    Yeah fucking Medicare levy.

    It means I have private health and I hate the idea we are privatising our health system.

      Just a side note, here I’m talking about the Medicare Levy Surcharge, which is actually an entirely separate thing from the Medicare Levy. That is a 2% levy that you can’t get rid of by having private insurance. (But can get reduced by having very low income, or can be exempt from if you’re not eligible for Medicare in the first place, e.g. if you’re not a citizen.)
