Mate, not talking it up or down, just pointing out the obvious. The market is treading water because investors don't know what is coming next from the government.
There is always bargains, everyone is saying property is in a bubble, didn't stop me buying an investment property last week.;)
But whatever you do, don't try and convince me this lot are anything but goons.LOL

What an insult to the majority of Australians! Curious to know why you feel so superior to your fellow Aussies? It can't be your spelling.

Don't think I excluded myself from the rest of the electorate anywhere in my post. Nor was it directed as an insult, merely a comment on the fact that humans believe themselves to be rational, yet constantly disprove this theory. Your comprehension is lacking.

My spelling appears to be superior to yours. Can not see anything spelt incorrectly in my post.

I have to agree with your comments on the electorate, however I think people in the public eye do an amazing job of generally saying the right thing.
I sometimes wonder how the reporters would fare if the roles were reversed and loaded question after question was thrown at them 24/7.
By the way don't pick on my spelling, I don't do spell check(don't know how) and I don't proof read (it looks the same no matter how many times I read it).

The problem lies in the fact that the electorate are incapable of rationale judgement and are just as useless as the politicians, therefore comment does and will continue to occur as they can be easily manipulated.

rationale????

See above: "rationale". Perhaps just a typo.
As is also perhaps "spelt" instead of "spelled".

Not necessary for me to comment on it and I wouldn't have except that your assertion that the electorate was so incapable of exercising decent judgment seemed very unfair, and I got cross.

Where is my misspelling? I'm always happy to learn if I am wrong.
With thanks.

Rationale and spelt are both legitimate words. They may not be the most regularly used.

My comment regarding your spelling was a cheap shot. You incorrectly believed my spelling was wrong hence your spelling was incorrect (on that occasion).

Don't want to start a pointless slanging match (there are enough in this thread already)!

I enjoy your reading your contribution to this forum for what it's worth.
 
You can't accuse the Libs of not being able to tell jokes.

Did you hear Christopher Pyne on TV last night re: the Andrew Wilke saga?

"This is the greatest political betrayal since Edward Vth murdered his two nephews in the tower of London"

I don't think so!!

The ALP do have a joker in their pack. I thought Conroy's joke on the Gillard/Wilkie fiasco was a beauty.

"What's really rich is Tony Abbott, a man who could deliver the numbers, stopping a promise being delivered, then saying a promise has been broken."

Yes, of course they are. "Rational" was the one that made sense in this context.

Me neither, and I apologise for drawing attention to the unimportant error.
No excuse, but I just get really annoyed at any variation of the cliche "we get the government we deserve" sort of suggestion. I can see how the saying would have originated but in the present case any democratic process was largely subverted by the personal revenge motives of the Independents who ultimately chose who would take government.

Generous of you. Thank you. Ditto: look forward to reading more of yours.

Yes. Jokes are seldom factually based. Edward V was actually one of the murdered princes.

As stated above, it is not certain that the princes were murdered. Nonetheless, there were rumors, based on eyewitness claims, that King Richard III had them murdered. They were supposedly smothered with a pillow and then buried underneath a set of stairs. This matches up with evidence found in the Tower of London in 1674. That year, the skeletons of two children were found in a chest beneath the Chapel stairs in the tower. The remains were taken to Westminster Abbey and buried there, near some of the siblings of the princes.

This however is not a Pyne joke. It is the biggest cover-up since Rudd and Swan mislead parliament on Utegate.

THE opposition will attempt to tie Julia Gillard to the Craig Thomson scandal when parliament resumes next month as it mounts a fresh push to topple her fragile minority government.

Noco a couple of days ago said FWA were not going ahead with anything more about Thompson. Where did that come from, noco? There has been nothing about that on the news and quotes such as that above indicate otherwise.
 
From the Canberra Times.

When contacted by the Sunday Canberra Times this morning, Ms Sattler said she had been at the tent embassy but she was not the go between.

UNIONS ACT secretary Kim Sattler has denied allegations she was the go-between to the Prime Minister’s office who tipped off the Aboriginal Tent Embassy ahead of ugly protests on Australia Day.
Ms Sattler was named by Tent Embassy co-founder Michael Anderson and spokeswoman Barbara Shaw at a press conference this afternoon as the person who passed on Opposition leader Tony Abbott’s comments and whereabouts.
Kim Sattler has denied receiving any messages from the Gillard PM Office. This is no joke.

“I heard it from the crowd,’’ she said.

Who would have thought that Bill Shorten has a sense of humour.:D

Workplace Relations minister Bill Shorten today denied the government had any contact with the independent FWA in its investigation into Mr Thomson and urged anybody who had evidence to back such claims to come forward.

"There is simply no evidence of any interference whatsoever by the government and if there is somehow something new then by all means bring it to light," Mr Shorten told The Australian Online.

"Since Ms Jackson's comments on television last night we have again been advised by the highest levels of our department that no information has either been passed on to FWA or sought from them on the investigation."
