Income Tax Relief Delivered
You will soon start to benefit from income tax relief; that means
paying less tax and being rewarded for your hard work, now and into
the future. The passing of the Personal Income Tax plan in Parliament
ensures that taxes are lower, fairer and simpler.
The legislated tax plan has three steps:
1. Tax relief for low and middle income earners
2. Lifting tax brackets to lessen the impact of ‘bracket creep’
3. Simplifying personal taxes by removing an entire tax bracket
Our plan means a tax system that works for all Australians and rewards
those who work hard.
Guaranteeing Health Services
The Government is guaranteeing the essential health services that we
all rely on and this is demonstrated by the record funding announced
in the last Federal Budget. A further $35.3 billion has been credited
to the Medicare Guarantee fund for the Medicare Benefits Schedule
and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, this is in addition to the $34.4
billion credited for 2017-18.
Also included was $1.4 billion for new lifesaving and changing
medicines, such as Kisqali for breast cancer and Spinraza for Spinal
Muscular Atrophy.

North Lakes Author goes
North Lakes author, M.J.T. Meijer, will have three series published
by a US and UK based publishing house.
Having signed a traditional publishing contract with Crimson Cloak
a little over a year ago, Meijer’s first thriller in the first series, Disbelief,
is about to hit the world market. The official launch was held at the
North Lakes Hotel on the 22nd June.
Disbelief, the first in the ‘Ben Smit’ series, will be closely followed by
Disregard, to be published in November of this year, followed by
Disorder. The ‘Sam Jansen’ series is of the same, fast-paced and thrilling genre with titles
including Misguided and Misjudged, while the third is a humorously lighthearted, cozy
crime series: ‘Mum’s the Word’, which includes A Spade, and A Bottle of Port.
With seven finished books under her belt, all of which are under contract for publication
by Crimson Cloak, including any future books she writes in those series, Meijer can look
forward to at least three more years of book releases.
A proud Australian citizen today, Meijer was born and raised in the Netherlands, and
relocated to Dubai before moving to North Lakes ten years ago. Struggling with the
task to requalify to continue her hypnotherapy career in Australia, she decided to
take a year’s leave to write the book she’s always wanted to read and discovered a
passion for writing.
In November 2016, Meijer submitted her short story Perception to an online magazine’s
annual competition open to writers from all Commonwealth countries. After the judges
reviewed the thousands of entries, her work was shortlisted for inclusion in an anthology
and Meijer gained the confidence to submit her finished manuscripts to publishers,
ultimately resulting in the three-series contract with Crimson Cloak Publishing.
Meijer’s short story, Skydogs, inspired by her visit to a remote mining community
in Australia, has also found a place with Crimson Cloak in Equine Adventures, an
anthology that contains stories donated by authors and of which the proceeds are
donated to charity.
A passionate author, Meijer co-facilitates a monthly writers group that meet in the North
Lakes library every first Saturday of the month and plans to write for many years to come.
