Damn straight!
But when, is the $64,000,000 question. (Which will probably be median Sydney price by then </tongueincheek>)
Damn straight!That's because political parties are in the business of gaining power and staying in power. The days of political parties making tough, pragmatic decisions are a relic of the 20th century. It's all about populism and prosperity now. We will continue to see money printing and the protection of the residential property market as policy priorities of all major parties.
It's a game of political musical chairs. One day it's all going to end, and when the music eventually stops nobody is going to want to be in power, because things are going to get very ugly.
Agreed but I'm not going to underestimate what government and central banks will do.By any objective assessment, it's a bubble.
And who wins from that scenario?Agreed but I'm not going to underestimate what government and central banks will do.
It's a bubble but it's one that could well get a lot bigger.....
As an analogy, government seems determined to keep the sprinklers gushing and say nothing about a drought until the dam is literally bone dry with not a drop left. Then we go straight into a monumental crisis.
I came to the conclusion a while back that we have hit peak laziness when I started seeing Coles and Woolworths selling bags of pre-made mixed lettuce leaves and salad. Really, have we become so busy that we don’t have time to make a salad ?I walk into supermarkets now and all I see is ready made everything, gourmet this, gourmet that. Everything is being done for us because we no longer have the time, or so I am told.

Never too late, get youtube, become an apprentice to the next tradie doing work at your place and in a few years you have reasonsble knowhow for painting,tiling, carpenter or plasterboard work, etc..and you do not need much more than that.do own plumbing in sheds or chook pen.not rocket science and once you have the few trade tricks, you are fairly competent, not as quick or flawless as a 10000h practise tradie but not that bad, enough to do the jobGet as debt free as possible is my advice, even if it's just an old shack on a block of land large enough to grow some food. Those who are the most debt free and self sufficient will come out of the other end in the best shape.
I walk into supermarkets now and all I see is ready made everything, gourmet this, gourmet that. Everything is being done for us because we no longer have the time, or so I am told. We are being encouraged to lose the skills that make us self sufficient. I believe this is deliberate.
If I could do things over again, I would make the effort to be a lot more proficient with a hammer, screwdriver and saw. That way I could improve a property myself without relying on someone who charges $80 an hour. It's probably my greatest regret. I can do this and that but I just don't have the skillset I wish I did.
Some parties are better at it than others if you look at the statsThat's because political parties are in the business of gaining power and staying in power.

So you’d prefer it if the libs did nothing? So you think the libs should have just let people do it tough so long as our national debt remained unchanged? This debt comment is ridiculous given that Covid impacted a lot of hard working ordinary people. Explain to me why exactly you think our current debt is bad—and please don’t just wheel out the usual “generations to come will pay for it”look where we are biggest debt ever......
Since the GFC was before this and labor was in power maybe you go first why debt seemed to be a problem then as it was an election issue with the current governmentSo you’d prefer it if the libs did nothing?

Huh…I did say debt was a problem…you did.Since the GFC was before this and labor was in power maybe you go first why debt seemed to be a problem then as it was an election issue with the current government
No I said the left were touted as poor economic managers you concluded the rest in your headSome parties are better at it than others if you look at the stats
Some parties do try to introduce change through mining taxes,franking credits and talk about negative gearing but are shot down as left loonies and poor economic managers and look where we are biggest debt ever......you make your choices
The left are poor economic mangers, but we digress from Aussie house pricesNo I said the left were touted as poor economic managers you concluded the rest in your head
on topicI came to the conclusion a while back that we have hit peak laziness when I started seeing Coles and Woolworths selling bags of pre-made mixed lettuce leaves and salad. Really, have we become so busy that we don’t have time to make a salad ?
Like Gerry HarveySo you’d prefer it if the libs did nothing? So you think the libs should have just let people do it tough so long as our national debt remained unchanged?

Ok…I just can’t be bothered arguing with you on which side of politics is better…right or left. I suspect we will not cover any original ground and will be confined to you usual issues that headline the mainstream mediaon topic
? like I said…confined to main stream media issues…boringLike Gerry Harvey
Ok…I am a big fan of feta cheese in a tossed salad. I’m also more of a fan of rocket instead of iceberg lettuce. When cherry tomatoes are in season I also like them in a salad. I don’t care too much for mushrooms. As for dressings, Paul Newman’s balsamic is my go to.Yeah lets talk about salads
