This is nonsense. If there were no investor tax breaks this would significantly reduce demand. Investors don't need the properties to live…

I honestly believe Labor would go for far more radical changes if it wasn't for a media that largely hates them. Look at Bill Shorten's…

Who's going to pay the tax needed to fund pensions for our ageing population if there's no immigration?

Prices would be lower without investor tax breaks as there would be less investors in the market. While other factors are relevant, they…

Indeed, although I suspect I wouldn't care too much if it was that valuable. Could always make some well timed share trades to make up any…

They don't want that as their claims of economic credibility depends on a strong housing market.

Neither side will let prices fall, even the LNP proposed changes to immigration are only for a couple of years and will make little or no…

The main message is that neither party ever wants house prices to fall. Like every other attempt to address the issue these measures will…

And this sums up most of Trump's base. He could tell them that killing their own families was a good idea and they'd go along with it…

Maybe pick up a cheap handset that supports either dual sim or esim and sell it after your trip?

The tax breaks vastly increased demand for property investment, which makes my point correct and is a massively bigger factor with…

Dunks copied a line from social media and is now struggling to support his argument after being fact checked 🤣😭

Surely that means better the devil you know and avoid Dutton?

Not all people are stupid, but enough to determine elections certainly are. Or at least unengaged enough to be taken in by media bias which…

The immigration numbers were no better under the LNP, its not a Labor thing and is about making labour costs cheaper and getting more…

Dutton promising to sort out allocating more gas for local consumption when they did nothing about this very long standing issue during a…

The irony of your last line there 😀

Yep, don't buy for aesthetics as the black marks and scratches after your first flight will be somewhat upsetting.

Is it even possible to buy at the fantasy RRP number?

Shops that sell luggage constantly make out everything is 40% off RRP which confirms what a joke the RRP numbers are. They must play on the…

The stereotypical suburban yummy mummy car. Always white.

Yes and some brands are seen as "cool", others less so.

Reminds me of my backpacking years. Carefree times.

The buyer has confirmed it was working when they bought it. End of story, no warranty on gumtree purchases. You want a warranty? Pay full…

The bag isn't great but it certainly lasts longer than 2 uses and is cheap to replace. Our previous house used to get showered in leaves…
