Why hasn't Australia invaded Singapore?
They steal billions in revenue thanks to their low corporate tax rate, and harbor financial institutions that use Australian equity but don't employ any Australians.
Their entire economy is centered around this and other countries suffer also as a result. Why don't we stop them?

Slapping a mosquito sucking your blood is pretty reasonable.
Trying to make them extinct means you've got a few screws in your head loose.
I wondered where these little pissant states get their equity, they have no industry, no resources and yet some how miraculously are able to all of a sudden be the benefactors of billions of dollars.
How about wiping out the breed of mosquito that has a life threatening infectious disease?
>They steal billions in revenue thanks to their low corporate tax rate
Sounds like Australia should lower their corporate tax rate.
Because we have the knowledge, culture and stability for business to be done.
hyperbole
>they have no industry
They have an entire island whose sole purpose is to refine oil for Australia.
Their business blew up exponentially when Caltex closed their Australian refineries.
>they steal billions in revenue thanks to their low corporate tax rate
why doesnt aus lower their tax rate?
Forgot pic
Because they have welfare
You don't need to worry about your elderly or other vulnerable peoples, as Aussie pension funds flow straight into your country to be distributed.
How many of the chinese invading australia originate from singapore?
You charge anything and there is already someone lower.
It's more about slapping down companies who do the wrong thing. But that sounds like nationalism and thus evil
Why do their funds flow into Singapore?
>because it generates a better roi
That's just the way it goes. Singaporean citizens invest abit into Australian properties as well
we've already accepted that we're not gonna be competitive in anything
leave us alone
> 35% tax rate
>king of double dipping and high personal taxes
Because people want their portfolios as diverse as possible, and because Australia has alreayd pissed on corporations, no international finance brokerage was established.
He has some advice on how to take care of Singapore.
youtu.be
has always*
Singapore is literally a modern day asian Venice.
it wont be long before a fleet of Singaporeans sail in and sack Constantinople for commercial reasons on the pretext of a holy war.
Lmao this retard.
Literally autistic
Singapore funds actually pour a lot of money into developing Australia's property market. Billions of dollars.
What we lose comes back to us in different ways.
Those funds originated in Australia. It should have never left the country.
Historically speaking, the fate of successful city states fall three ways:
1. In the process of self defence the city state geographically expands to a point where it is no longer a city-state but a nation (Rome, Carthage)
2. In the process of self-preservation, the city-state angers stronger enemies to wage an uneven war against it to the point where the city-state is destroyed (Gdansk)
3. The city state is propped up by a stronger ally in the face of a strong enemy. The city state must support the stronger ally's interests and in return has a security of sorts. Once the stronger ally collapses, the city-state succumbs to stronger enemy or otherwise finds a new strong ally. Eventually the city-state gets absorbed. (Florence and its wars/alliances with the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France and the Papal States etc)
Singapore is in camp 3 with United States backing. If the power of United States crumbles in the near distant future, Singapore geopolitically will be in a lot of trouble.
You can only do so much on a small island.
Better Australia than Indonesia, I say.
If the US fails we go to china. Simple
tfw you end up cucked like Hong Kong and Macau.
Fuck off ang mor, auscunts can't even beat a few birds and fishes, let alone establish a supply line across a foreign peninsula
Geography is destiny.
It's quite tragic because no matter how hard Singapore tries, it will amount to naught. If you guys fuck up once in a military war, you're toast. We own a whole continent. We can afford to fuck up and still recover. Russia can fuck up and still recover. America can fuck up. China has fucked up heaps of times in their history. But you guys can't. Thats what history shows. Either conquer Malaysia and stake a claim or accept the fate that eventually you will be absorbed by a greater power.
Survival is key. I'm quite sure we will retain independence
Not really any need.
Singapore is all import and no export, all services and no manufacture.
The government keeps services cheap and this benefits both australian and singaporean companies.
