The state of the economy at the street level

From Evil Murdoch press

NSW is the toughest state to do business base on the failure rate, and has had the biggest increase in bankruptcies compared to other states.

In NSW it's probably dodgy developers deliberately dissolving the company before they get sued for not building the apartment block or whatever to code though.
 
I'm going to need a new work ute at some point in the near to medium term future... But only at a bargain price
a rough but functional 4WD would be nice on the farm ( the one that came with the farm needs a new engine ( and a few other repairs )

but not desperate yet
 
It's funny that we have all this rhetoric about the homeless in Queensland, couldn't a lot of them be given temporary accommodation at the Wellcamp quarantine facility, that cost the Queensland taxpayer $220million and housed 750 people for a short time?
OMG I forgot, the narrative doesn't fit.
What's the saying, hmmmm, crickets.

Demand for social housing has continued to increase in Queensland, with a surge of 745 families applying for accommodation.

Data released in November, for last year's June to September quarter, revealed 43,074 Queenslanders were on the waitlist for social housing – a rise of 1,600 since the quarter prior.



29 April 2023:
A $220million quarantine centre has been handed over to a property magnate after housing just 730 tourists at the 1,000-bed facility over 14 months.

The Wellcamp facility near Toowoomba, 127kms west of Brisbane, was gifted to the Wagner Corporation on Saturday after acting as a quarantine camp for unvaccinated tourists last year.

The facility went largely unused during the pandemic after completing construction in February 2022 just as covid restrictions were easing nationwide.

Clover Moore and TfNSW has totally ruined the ambience of Sydney City.

So much money wasted to plan, design and construct their own personal visions, to the detriment of everyone except a pandered to minority.
 
Was in Sydney centre today. Labor looks to be turning it into a shthole again. I reckon nsw Labor will accelerate the slide
the rich and well connected drive in then park in their designated spot and take the elevator to office. The grafters and salarymen come by train in the morning, move as a phalanx through the tunnels and ascend to their workstations. Foodcourts and /or a roof bar are the main other destinations. Every recessed doorway has a mattress and detritus of the homeless. And tourists amble about aimlessly. The quay and Rocks are chocka's, Barangaroo , parks and museums less so. There is always some construction happening and the place is dirty n dusty.
 
Turning that around, wont be easy, the homeless like Cities at least they can make connections, very difficult in country towns.
I usually walk down to the center of town at around 5am, it is really pleasant only a couple of people exercising and the homeless, I chat with most of them we get on well, they usually have been around the same traps as me.
I'm really hoping I'm wrong, but from my life experience it will be great if this is landed well, but there isn't a good feeling about it IMO.
Hope I'm wrong, maybe with computers and better data input, they can pull off a blinder, Kudos to them if they do.
 
According to Employment experts at Seek, there may be fewer jobs available if the job ads are anything to go by.
