And as the article says - this data is only from individual tax returns. It doesn't cover companies.

Cunts

Isn't that just a generic term for Australians? Like not even an insult? I think there's gotta be something much worse to call them. "Landlords" might do, it's basically synonymous with scum of the earth.

Nope. Cunt as a singular can be a term of affection. Cunt as a plural is only a positive when used with some adjectives like "crazy" or "mad". Used without an adjective like that, it's a harsh put down.

The differences are subtle but unmistakable.

It depends how hard you go on the 'c' at the start, IMO

Thank you, that's helpful. It's important to learn these cultural nuances of other countries so one doesn't accidentally offend.

It's all context. You can tell from the context (an article about landlords) it's an insult that conveys disgust for the subjects of the article

don't form opinions based on reddit comments.

The full stop was unspoken, but present to all aussies.
