Dollar for dollar tax cuts at the bottom end will do more for the economy than at the top

Always have and always will - demand fuels growth.

My point is it is difficult making comparisons. I believe my parents did it harder than me. My kids got more than we did. Parents want more for their kids than they had in my experience.

I've never held a job that paid me overtime, not that I didnt do any.
I'd surmise OT was a factor in paying your house off, its one of the employment decisions we make, e.g working for yourself/employing people.
Paying your house off is never easy.

Yes, getting your first house has never been easy. Keeping it can be difficult in a climate of rising interest rates.

Getting your first house these days is significantly more difficult than in generations past. The numbers do not lie.

Which means younger people get trapped in the rent cycle longer, taking many more years to establish their asset base.

Fair enough regarding the AEC, clearly I didn't have all the information on that one.

I have no time for Bogut whatsoever, but I think the action of VEC (whether they are required to do it or not) is unnecessary.

Based on how many of those BS sort of "ads" I see on various social media platforms, if the VEC are following all of them up and issuing these sorts of notices regularly, they clearly aren't doing anything to actually enforce them, which has me skeptical of the underlying motives of this one.

I look forward to all PRBitch Tweets including “The following has been paid for by the Victorian taxpayers campaign for Dictator Dan”

Your experience is that of someone substantially older but - we are talking about people 35 and under who are seeing housing prices be a far larger multiple of the minimum wage than its ever been in australias history.

Much larger than when you got in the market and much larger than when your parents got in the market.

You want to make that account more popular?

Millennials and baby boomers both claim they had it harder buying a house so we asked a property expert to settle the debate

With property prices having rocketed up in recent years, millennials assume it’s never been harder to get into the market. Dealing with 17% interest rates when they were buying their first homes, baby boomers tend to disagree. We asked Corelogic head of research Tim Lawless to weigh in on the […]

You can lodge a complaint with the VEC for the allegedly bad tweets eddie.

I dont think the NSWEC have jurisdiction over the Victorian election...

What an absolute nothing article

It was the boomer line that is promoted - their effect on the current day market. The wealth generated by long term ownership (paying it off) & inflation, which is probably around the corner for todays mortgaged property owners.

What an absolute nothing article

I was hoping there would be a definitive conclusion. At least the various arguments for and against are discussed

 

[Kwality]

so your rationale is that we should still be in lockdown because changing minds/decisions is just playing politics?

cynicism, look it up.

As soon as I saw it was BI i knew it would go nowhere but even so it still let me down

Its not hard to understand the challenges now compared to 20 years ago let alone 40 if you think about it.

Buying a house was never easy unless you were rich but it's getting a hell of a lot harder to get into the market now.

Our last place which we moved out of last year went up over 80% in less than 7 years and we live 40kms out of townAAmd that place was 50 years old

Some places out here are going for over a mil now which is crazy

Wages haven't gone up anywhere close to house prices

ok i think i must be heartless - just did a cursory search and found a 39 year old woman from Melbourne and her two year, $100k ordeal in trying to fall pregnant and how she has very little time left and how the postponement was going to affect them - I would say I'm an empath but I just didn't care - if you can't get pregnant you can't get pregnant - it's how the chips fall

FFS - the ****hole of the Month award is very much overrated.

That doesnt alter the fact that the multiple of the minimum wage to purchase a house has gone up by a lot.

Western Australia keeping their border closed until 90% triple dose. The madness continues.

Why on earth would they even consider opening up in this climate?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Western Australia keeping their border closed.

They’re an island, on an island. They think they are keeping Omicron out forever. They sneer at the eastern states and call us incompetent but when people can just stroll back and forth across your border at any time of the night and day, or live within metres of it, things are very different. Queensland gave it a good go, but there comes a time when you have to deal with a different reality.

See this post that I liked, as I agreed:

They aren’t opening up as promised on Feb 5 because their health care system was designed and planned by a toddler. It’s more amusing that they think they’ll keep cases down forever.

Victoria tried but its NSWs fault, as all Victorians know !
No doubt there are many hoping WA doesnt succeed.

The number of days kids were locked out of school will be a simple measure of success/failure of the various approaches, when the dust settles.

Again though, why would they even consider opening up in this climate?

Or we have to wait 9 years for a liberal government to not build a hospital to get a labor government that is now building a hospital

Same as the last two large public hospitals built in perth have been built by labor and both liberal governments in between failed to build one - but hey dont let facts get in the way of your hysterical ranting.
