While I'm not a huge fan of the RBA, I'm confident they know more than you do.

We already have high rates and low inflation. This was just a small cut after many increases. Businesses won't invest unless debt is…

What has the election got to do with anything? Unless you actually think the multi millionaires that run the RBA would be Labor voters? LNP…

Someone like Dutton wouldn't have a prayer without our biased media. Dutton offers nothing. But then again neither did Tony Abbott and he…

And that 40% do a lot of the spending that keeps the economy moving. A big chunk of the 60% are retirees who by nature spend less and are…

Its already being reduced

You actually think the sort of people that run the RBA would be Labor supporters? Wow, what a take. More worrying was how desperate some…

Why hike rates by 0.25 then, as they last did in November 2023, if it makes so little difference? Its proven that this stuff affects…

They've had their time

Banks will have already priced expected cuts into TD rates. TDs, like fixed loans, are a gamble but do provide certainty if that is what…

This stuff actually does make a difference to people.

TD rates are based on the rate outlook for the relevant period and it was obvious cuts were coming. This is completely normal.

I was given 20k in cash for a car a few years ago. Having to count it in front of the buyer rang all my self conscious alarm bells. Took it…

We have 2 cats and 2 shedding golden retrievers. Floors mostly polished concrete with some carpeted rooms (that pets don't really go into).…

Yep, remember people thinking everyone would be made redundant by computers at the time.

I would have thought teacher is one of the most obvious to be replaced, literally rehashing the same information every year.

Clearly not as mentioned washed exactly the same things with previous machines (that actually had a lower capacity) with no issues. Also…

Even if you do this also applies, but to a lesser degree.

We had a Beko washing machine for about 5 years. Its performance was pretty good but when we were washing larger things like sheets or…

Would be nice if it didn't look like something from 2012.

Now its narrowed down to government positions, nice backflip. While every last second of classroom time (which isn't much more than 3 hours…

He wishes he was that slim.

That's a very sweeping judgement of office workers. How do you know this? Meetings are part of a work day, regardless of how valuable or…

9 day fortnight is just compressing 10 days work/hours into 9 days, it isn't a free hit.

So how does anyone who has only known teaching know how hard it is in comparison to other jobs? They don't because they can't possibly know…

How long does it take to "assess" that a phone is bricked and completely unresponsive?

because this has never ever happened with an iphone obviously..... my pixel 8 pro is hands down a better phone than the iphone 15s my wife…

Agreed. People are conned into thinking they need "flagship" phones when this sort of thing would do the job perfectly well for most.

Which everyone will then complain is too expensive.

Biggest noticeable difference would probably be camera performance (although I don't know what the Nothing camera is like). Everything else…
