It could also be in line with the increasing cost of housing (and living in general), where couples are cohabiting and choosing to dedicate their finances to the cost of entering the housing market v the cost of getting married.
These couples are therefore classed as de facto in the census.

Average age of de facto male is 35 and female 33.

There are no stats if they they are home owners.

Tell them that you want the sale to be conditional upon a block to be transferred into your name and that any stamp duty payable is to be borne by the developer (depending on value of the block, you may be eligible for First Home New Home stamp duty discounts).

Apply for First Home Buyer Grant ($10,000) build a house on it within 12 months, live it in for at least 6 months of the first 12 months (be careful of CGT but), then flog it.

HJ already said that the Lizard People are in Atlantis or something. Should we be worried ?

It started in Jerusalem. They hide the worm holes to universe there.

that's a fair point if you added up what it costs to get married in sydney especially for an upmarket wedding with all the bells and whistles it could be a house deposit

Yep, wish I had of saved the money that we spent on our wedding and bought a better house! Absolute waste of money getting married.

i have heard some couples say they are getting flowers for a birthday party because they know as soon as the florist hears 'wedding' they will jack the prices up

Probably a very smart idea.

Well yeah. Last census has 25% being de facto of all people living as "socially married". The stats are rising.

Perhaps it's in line with the decreasing attachment to the church ?

Call me old fashioned but I still see the purpose of marriage as a commitment of one person exclusively to the other. If you're not up for that then don't get married and have as many partners as you like.

Good point well made.

100% that happens. It also occurs for anything that has to do with babies.

My cousin booked a hall for his wedding but said it was for a party. On the night the hall owners realized it was a wedding got angry at my cousin for not telling them it was a wedding as they had quoted a party price and not a wedding one

 

[Gronk]

Weddings are certainly rorts. Funerals are not much different.

The unsmiling assassins in black will hit the deceased family for 30 or 40 grand easy and without.much to show for it.

 

[Gronk]

Is it China or North Korea ?

 

[The EELiminator]

Probably a very smart idea.

it would be fun if one person got a quote for party flowers then someone else got the exact same quote for a wedding then go to the florist with both quotes

 

[Ring Gids]

I challenge anyone to say they have not said something racist in their life. Whether that be pointing out a stereotype or actively hating on a race in the heat of a moment.

There are certainly fundamentally racist people in this country, i know many of them, doesn't make the entire country racist otherwise Pauline Hanson would already be the leader of the country!

Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes.
That doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes.

It's a rort no doubt, but Brides and more importantly their mothers are tough to deal with. That's worth some sort of price variance (just not the amount extra that is charged),
