Thats just crazy, $500 up on an already decent amount? it is honestly criminal, go up with rates in OK but that seems to be an unfair adjustment.

Absolutely.
Looks like Cav had a nose for the future: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-...owth/102367580 Also, credit is due to Yellow Festiva for seemingly one of the best bottom-pickings shared on this forum with his purchase a few months back. |

Have the holes in your pink donuts got larger, Wiz?
I’d think some guérilla signmarking of parking bays might work, like the mobility spots but “Vietnam Veterans Only”. Council would be afraid to remove due to fear of a backlash. |

Pink is a premium priced flavour these days due to the "Woke."
I can only afford off gray food colouring.

“But that’s a chocolate donut!”
- It identifies as a pink donut. Will the real estate industry soon dream up more names to cover dodgy scenarios, in the vein of “granny flats” (which seemingly can now be two storeys, 3+ bedroom)? “Flexible living” might be a useful term… |

I asked for my rent at one place to match the market as I knew it was cheap. Current tenants stayed and it got put up 31% of what it was.

haha good ol Andrews.
Here's something I got not long ago via email, now here's the thing. I've been doing business ex china (yer I know had to) for over 20+years. Got to the point to service customers quicker I even pay for warehousing due to MOQ production runs etc. Point is Mr China won't let me buy anything there as some know. Yet we our Gov allows any tom dick and harry invest here be it for their student kids or business. https://www.mcgrath.com.au/advice/ar...uyers-are-back See above add to the hurt for 1st home buyers let alone any of us for these people have been inflating pricing here for over 25/30yrs.

Indeed. India is the same. I’d like to see reciprocal rules, and if someone holds multiple citizenships they’re bound by the most restrictive.

![]() Levy for international home owners has doubled from 2% to 4%. Good move. Should maybe make it 10% if the property is vacant for X days in a year, would help free up more rentals.

I look at this housing lark in a more simplistic way.
I get a little sick and tired of hearing about poor investors, how if it weren't for them there would be no overpriced rentals available. Maybe the cost of land / houses would come down if it wasn't for all the investors and pollies using tax breaks to feather their nests on multiple properties. With that lower cost of land and housing it may allow a greater percentage of people to be able to buy their own homes (to live in) Seems the whole thing is beautifully engineered to work the way it is working atm. Maybe we should just hand back all the land to the rightful owners and we can all pay rent.

And who believes it will only last a decade?
I suppose, notionally, part of the fundraising will go towards compensating the public housing tenants who were locked up like criminals. |

The amount of people he has put out of jobs, business's closed etcetc and now he wants his fellow sucker voter to recover the costs lol..... Oh hang on it only effects 1.3% of the pop one quotes. Seriously talk about s hithousery. It may not be much to some but its just another added cost that even if it ends up being tax deductable its the initial outlay, you may have countless more bills due at the time for eg.

Nothing comes for free. There was significant stimulus (read cash investment from the government, both state and federal) injected into the community through various pipelines, all of which was supposed to help carry the state through a down turn in the economy. Whilst there were specific feed-in points, it was supposed to benefit everyone by stimulating spending.
At some point in time, that money needs to be recouped. And, just like it was handed out through particular feed in points, that money will be collected through particular collection points. But that will also impact the rest of the community as the costs of that are passed on. So, everyone (in theory) benefits. And everyone (in theory) pays. No one should be surprised at this. And those living in other states should also be concerned about their own state's debt. NSW, for example, has a debt of over $187 billion. That's about $70b more than what Victoria's current debt is. At some point in time, that money has to be repaid. You can't do that without someone feeling the pain.

Govt debt (and country debt) is very different to a personal debt though. I think many people see these figures and think along the same lines as their own personal debt repayment plan/scheme/timeline.
Debt needs to be paid down, but there is no term. There has been debt for most people's lifetimes and there will continue to be debt. People will always pay tax. Its not really related to the debt. Lots of comments in the media about future generations having to pay this off for years etc etc, makes it seem like their lives will be different somehow. Its just the media turning people against whatever govt is in power. Tax will always be paid by the populace. Paying tax is doing your bit.

Sit back and enjoy the same merry go round from the same "smart ones" who post the same thing across every page. The most vocal ones don't even live here. ![]() ![]() Private schools defunded, 9 new public schools to be build, upgrade to health facilities....yeh never mind all that. When you want to build and grow, you have got to pay. Wait for the QLDers to start investing in the Olympics, see what happens then. Here's hoping the 3 year back to surplus holds true. But we'll be told we got our heads buried in the sand.

Whichever way you want to look at it, it costs the government (and hence the people) to 'borrow' that money and it does have to get paid back at some point in time. Again, you don't get anything for free.

The media use the debt message to sway the populace one way and then the other. The govt use the debt message as an excuse to implement taxes or raise taxes.
