Opinion AUSTRALIAN Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[kirky]

Given that supermarkets like Drakes are selling the 180 gram blocks of Cadbury for $7, I wonder just how bad it could potentially get.

Everyone has a go at Coles and Woolworths however if you have ever done a price comparison between Drakes/IGA/Foodland they are up to 20-25% dearer on many of the products.

And the Drake Family wealth is over $800m.

More power to the Drakes, they are legends.

I’ll tell you what’s shocking to me.

When you completely f*ck an economy for two-plus years over a flu-like virus, that economy ends up completely f*cked (and you still have the flu-like virus lmao).

I don’t really understand how it’s possible that completely f*cking something could end up with that thing being completely f*cked.

I would’ve thought that when you comprehensively fu*k something it winds up really good afterwards.

Nobody could’ve seen it coming. I’m baffled and so are the experts.

Urgent warning is issued to every Australian with a mortgage

Australian home borrowers are paying 59 per cent more on their monthly mortgage than they did three years ago. But by Christmas, they could be paying 80 per cent more compared with late 2021.

The pandemic actually wasn’t the problem, the problem was interest rates were kept artificially low for years after the GFC.

The RBA kept reducing the cash rate from Nov 2010 to Mar 2020. All that did was allow people to overextend themselves.

It therefore inflated the property market and here we are.

Now on another point, everyone is blaming immigration for the property shortage (it isn’t as simple as that but lets put that aside). Now lets think this thru, if we didn’t have the levels of immigration after closing our borders, who do you think was going to fill the shortages we had in the workforce? I mean to say our unemployment rate is current at historical levels now.

 

[Slippery Pete]

The pandemic actually wasn’t the problem

The inflationary disaster in particular is everything to do with the government’s response to the China Virus (not just in Oz).

They pumped a gazillion dollars into the economy paying people to stay home and destroying small business, and a lot of that money went into the housing market.

The insane demand for housing is now being propped up by other factors (immigration etc) but the crushing blow to the younger generation’s prospects of home ownership was chiefly dealt by politicians & health bureaucrats and their deranged Covid response.

You do understand the inflation issue is a worldwide phenomenon and was not just restricted to Australia.

Stop trying to rewrite history - no-one knew what we were facing.

I’ll guarantee if we lost the same % of people as they did during the early 20th Century pandemic the world economies would have crashed and recessions that would have lasted years. No ifs, no buts.

The crushing dreams of younger generations was not pandemic related, the roots of that are the relaxing of CGT, negative gearing and governments not investing in public housing and just leaving it to the private sector. We didn’t seem to have this housing issue prior to 2000. But hey.

Do some research and educate yourself, you might learn something.

They have their quota of dumb incoherent grifting stooge already. Bad luck Albo, i'm sure you care deeply about saving the taxpayer some money. Also its saving the planet by decreasing your carbon footprint. Very noble, walking the talk for once.

I think sometimes in life, if you think you're the smartest person in the room, or you think you're the one with the answers, or you think "I'm the bloody PM, I should say something", sometimes its best to shut up.

I am no Rudd fan, but one of the smartest things he did was around the national apology, there were some protests outside and I remember he went out there with a notepad and just talked to them. I am sure it was all for show as it is with Kevin, but by God it was the right thing to do at that time.

The cause she stands for is important and she seems to have done a lot to draw attention to violence against women but she has certainly lost some shine with her antics. The way she carried on was ridiculous. Albo turned up, and spoke, where was Dutton I wonder?

I can’t disagree with much of that.

What were your views on Grace Tame, I wonder?

Why do you always fall
On the weak communist comnents?
Is every labour leader a communist to you?
Is Malinauskas a communist too, after all he is another labour leader?
And which restrictive communist policies has he forced upon you?

 

[Slippery Pete]

Is every labour leader a communist to you?

I’d have to go through each one individually. Katy Gallagher? Yes.

Malinauskas? No. I actually think he’s a very talented and likeable man. But he’s certainly beholden to the commies in his party on some issues.

Example: the SA Voice. Which he pushed through despite the SA population voting resoundingly no in the federal referendum.

Very commmunist-esque don’t you think?

Malinauskas. Best pollie in Aus IMHO but I fear the party machine will drag him down.

If he was ever interested in Canberra I reckon he’d be a shot at PM

 

[El Doederino]

Expect he will

Wouldn't surprise me if once he is out of politics he makes it on to the AFL Commission

 

[George Kramer]

I can’t disagree with much of that.

What were your views on Grace Tame, I wonder?

And if it was ScoMo

 

[El Doederino]

And if it was ScoMo

ScoMo was slammed from all corners and Tame held up as a hero

When in reality they are both arseholes!

Yep, interested to hear OGC perspective given it’s clearly a balanced poster

He also should explain his views on pushing through an SA voice after South Australians comprehensively rejected the idea at the referendum.

That was a shambles, no one voted
