The state of the economy at the street level


Maybe, but we did not see the final report, if there was one. As he mentioned, he was just having a quick look for a friend.
 

The Victorian government/taxpayer is going to be paying.

What with, it sounds like Victoria are up to their eyeballs in debt.
Back of the napkin, I think I read Victoria's debt is heading to $177b and there are about 7m people.
That's about $25k each, I would have thought that is a lot of money, when you don't have a broad tax base.

... but it might take another 3 or 4 years until the mould becomes a health issue ( i was lucky it was discovered during the second internal painting effort , the paint wouldn't dry/adhere properly because the Gyprock was starting to disintegrate )

imagine the clownshow if the house had of been signed off early
 
some say a shrinking tax base
 
ABS released May l retail sales today.
The ABS says that seasonally adjusted, retail sales rose by 0.6% over the April sales.
However, without the special adjustments, sales value was dead flat, and given the recent increases in Inflation, in real terms it has gone backwards.
The chart of non adjusted retail sales says retail sales have gone nowhere for the last 9 months.

The breakdown into groupings says department stores are the biggest loser, followed by Cafes restaurants and takeaways .

Yeap $34m and it seems to be in Australia..for a business who is buying $3 made in china clothing sold $300
In 2024, a chinese jean out of the factory is 3 yuans, with 5 yuan per 1AUD
So i should be roughly right
You can expect a team of 10p for design, procurement and back office, the shop will probably be franchises..i do not know for sure but a lot of travel, posh hotel and Maserati required to end like this..
But hey in a country where lollypop traffic guys are on $130k a year..
Back to: is a million aud for an average house that high ?
 
People are hurting, grocery costs are through the roof.

Dutton's idea is starting to take hold. Coles and Woolworths get a lot of stick for being the biggest, but they are no angels. They bully their suppliers to cheat the public by having to reduce prices by deception - reduce product size while maintaining package size so as to visually fool consumers that they are getting the same for less. And recently the big two have decided to be a part of the social engineering agenda - No Aussie merchandise for Australia Day, large donations to one side of the last Referendum telling people how to vote.

People are starting to think that it's a good time to help the smaller independent shops.

 
doubt it would be in the budget due to the budget cuts in the hospital system by then. but provided you wanted to get the old fella cut off or grow a set of boobs there would be room in the budget then


 
bookmarked your link

hadn't seen that site before

cheers
 
i watch several , but dozens that i haven't found yet ( and would like to check on from time to time )

i read that one from time to time, the views can be extreme at times but its getting news from ground level from the opposite side of the abc and main stream media
 
i grew up in an ALP dominated area , i have no idea what 'extreme' means anymore

all a i see are trends towards an enlarged Government ( and the others )

Ahem , at my old union , the CFMEU , that will be 200 big ones a year ! ( No kidding )
Someone down the food chain will have to pay for all this extortion .
The pollies in power right now will be long gone and don't care , anyway .
The only hope that is left for this place , is the stuff we're digging out of the ground. There's really nothing else going for us .
 
Here is a list of all the brewers gone or in trouble -


Depending on who you speak to, the current outlook for craft beer in Australia is either “doom, death and destruction” or “a time of opportunity” with brighter days ahead.

In many cases, it’s a bit of column a, a bit of column b – with the weighting applied to each fluctuating week by week, sales report by sales report, or maybe just dependent on the balance of chemicals in your brain on a particular day.

What is certain, however, is that the first six months of the year have been as brutal a period for the beer community as we’ve experienced in the 14 years of The Crafty Pint – and beyond. One brewery owner who’s been in the game far longer says they’ve never known anything like it, describing the GFC as a barely noticeable blip compared to the experience of recent years.

The steady stream – or should that be torrent? – of closures, sales and VAs in 2024, since Wayward started the ball rolling on January 2, puts last year’s already bleak showing in the shade.


2024 Semester One Report Card​

We're sure there will be some we've missed, but here is a rundown of significant closures, sales and administrations within the craft beer world between January 1 and June 30, 2024.
