They leave their loser shit pellets everywhere.

Lol that's easy. My stupid dog likes eating their vegan turds. They can't be raisons bc raisons are kryptonite to dogs.

There's only 1 "loser" holding the excrement of another animal in his hand and posting the photo on the interweb.... and it ain't the possum!

That would be the ABC Rural reporter Caddie Brain.

The interweb is a harsh unforgiving world Caddie. Wipe your tears away and ignore him, if you can.

She doesn't appear too upset.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Did she ironically misspell her own surname?

You might say that eating possum feces is your dog's raison d'être.

No it's to be as annoying as possible.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe if you fed him the possums wouldn't keep coming back.

Anyway I was out West yesterday celebrating my godson’s 4th birthday. His dad is a life long mate and living with his in laws whilst he is building his house.

Inlaws have a place at Kemps Creek on 5 acres. God it was nice being in such open space. Farm animals everywhere. House all on one level.

Inlaws are of Maltese background. Felt right at home. What a beautiful, hardworking and hospitable family. Basically came here like most of us Mediterranean Descendants with nothing in the late 1960’s/early 70’s.

Spoke to the father at length and basically they did it with hard work but still managed to live well. He said the 70’s and 80’s were the best years to get ahead. Also said he felt the country was better during this period. He is a massive Parra fan and I agreed with him.

I’m convinced it’s too difficult to do it now and own your own home by the time you get to 50 assuming you settle here as an immigrant with basically nothing.

Where did it all go wrong ?

Other immigrants with a f**k load more than nothing?

Slightly different situation not being an immigrant but I bought a small 3 bedroom ex govt house in Canberra for 450k. The even smaller, older place across the road on a slightly smaller block went for 505k and was immediately knocked down.

When I was living in the city the two bedroom apartment next door to us sold for 665k...

The price of housing is utterly ridiculous...and then you have this older generation telling my generation "oh it's so easy just stop buying coffees and save up"...FFS the two 60 year old blokes I worked with at my last job bought houses in Yarralumla and Deakin for 30-odd grand a few decades ago that are now worth 1.5 mill plus.

The replacement of the pension with superannuation, and the rise of the Chinese economy helped push our real estate prices up.

 

[84 Baby]

I know many families who bought acreage all around Hills District when it was still all farms. All bar one are laughing now. The one who isn't laughing got absolutely screwed over by government over the train line. One of the other families though are Mediterranean Descendant immigrants and they're laughing the most

The Chinese economy hasn't really risen per se. They're a billion strong, multi climatic, strong shipping lane country. The problem is it's a bitch for any of their mid socio-economic and up to invest in their OWN f**king COUNTRY. Communism's great if you don't have any money, f**ks up everyone else though

 

[Gary Gutful]

Depends where you live as well. If you can work in a regional area then house prices can still be reasonable.

Even the difference between capital cities is frightening. Had a look at Sydney real estate the other week. F**k me in the arse it's expensive!

Pretty much how it feels when my mortgage repayments get taken out.

I'd probably store them somewhere else then!
