I love how they've essentially abolished the minimum wage for the unemployed. 4 dollar an hour internships wow thanks Scotty.

And how was Malcolm's "yeah just get your parents to buy you a house" comment. Incredible long term solution for all there, pal.

******* hell. How is this shit allowed to happened?
But kill yourself before you use up you super!

So, I rang this big four wheel drive wrecking yard looking for this part, and the bloke said "Yeah, leave your name and number, and I'll get someone in the yard to look and see if we have one" After an hour, I ring back and talk to a different bloke and tell him I've been waiting an hour for a call back "It takes about 2 hours to check for phone orders" He says...2 hours for a junkyard lickspittle to walk I'm guessing 150 metres and peer through a window...and yet if I lived local and fronted in person, I reckon they would check within a few minutes, and yet the money is the same. I told him it was urgent that I knew quickly if they had the part or not so I could keep searching. "Two hours" He replied snappily hanging up in my ear. No wonder we source from overseas

What about punishing high income earners who put more into Super?

Don't they want self funded retirees? The aging population is causing a massive drain with health care and the age pension particularly big, and growing bigger, problems. And yet we try our guts out to self fund and get punished for it.

**** you spec mod and your gen y me me me problems. My family and I have real problems.

super isn't some slush fund you can stash money in so you can save some tax money and buy a third yacht later

what about the BATTLERS

old campaigners should have to pay a retrospective carbon tax for ******* up the planet the last 50 years. they won't care when the ocean is lapping at the doorstep of their beachfront mcmansion because they'll be long dead

I used to be Jeff Goublum from Death Wish, all hating on rich campaigners. Then dad finally found work again and now he's a high income earner. **** he has some money now, well the family do because of him, and it isn't even that much. After a 15 year stint on the dole not being able to get work and still living with a quality of life that would be the envy of more people on Earth than it wouldn't, it is ridiculous.

My opinion has changed from I hate rich campaigners to rich campaigners don't know how good they have it.

You campaigners should have listened at school.

It wasn't just for the bus ride you know.
The problem was listening in school. Shoulda dropped out, got a trade, and earned more than a doctor or lawyer and also be able to enjoy the cult of being a tradie that Australia offers. If that didn't work out, there was always the Pilbara.

I've owned a home for 6 years, it's great. Negative gearing can suck my dick, just brute force the Asian investors or buy in a shitty area. People are far too picky.

BUT A HOUSE IN INNER ADELAIDE IS 600K+ FARKIN

Then buy your first house in the ******* sticks for 200k and foot the extra 30 minute drive. ****.

School never taught me how to be born 40 years earlier and take advantage of negative gearing
Wah Wah Wah

My secret to wealth:

1. Make a sportsbet account
2. Bet on diamond in the roughies bets for the dogs, horses and harness racing.
3. Profit

Seriously. I started with 5 bucks and I'm up to 200 now, lol. I'm going to buy another house after this dog called "Scooby Doo" wins me more cash.

Seriously though, negative gearing only affects property closer to the city in good high growth areas. People refuse to suck it up and buy a shithole in a below average suburb to get their foot in the property door. Live there for a while, do some work on it, turn it around and boom you've got fire-power to attack the inner city market. It's a long road and so many I've spoken to have unrealistic expectations of what their first house will be/where they want to live. Your first house should ******* suck, but it will generate you mad equity if you do the right things, and you bunny hop to your next house.

A deposit for a 200-250k house is **** all (especially with the stupidly low deposit homeloans these days), if you have to go down that route and don't have a parents house to borrow against their equity with.

Shoulda been, it would be no less worthy of a subtext examination than anything else studied, where it either wasn't there at all and the teacher was a stoner, or it was as subtle as a sledgehammer.

Looking for Alibrandi ffs.
