He has a big stimulus......

My little birds have told me to pay for all this money Liberal has spent they will be bringing in a tax on inheritance. I don't think it's a terrible idea if only around 5-10%.

The way the property in major cities is, we will all need to inherit or pass on inheritance.

I love the Libs, spend a decade talking down debt then take on Billions.

Damning commentary about ScoMo’s leadership and the lack of trust that party members have in him. No amount of free money will pull him out of the shit at this late stage.

I’m calling an ALP victory at the election on 14 May.

You heard it here first…

I'll believe it when I see it. This is proper corruption and I know corruption having grown up in India.

Meanwhile Dosh Frydenberg is smiling and jogging in the background. I wonder if there will be a leadership challenge before they call the election?

No way in the world would someone else want to lead the Libs to the election. It would destroy them as well. Unless that person is so deluded that they think they could fix things in the space of one campaign.

Oh that guy would be Peter Dutton.

No, no, no, no, no.


There are renters out there hurting and no relief is in sight.

The New Home Guarantee is good in a way, as it allows first home buyers to buy their first home without the burden of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). The one-off premium is in the $8,000-12,000 range. LMI is an insurance policy that the banks take out which underwrites losses if the bank needs to foreclose and they suffer a loss on a mortgagee sale.

It means that they can borrow 95% without having to pay LMI. Indeed single parents can do the same with only 2% deposit.

BUT it is not available to existing dwellings, only new.

New Home Guarantee | Housing Australia

The New Home Guarantee (NHG) is no longer available for new applications from 1 July 2022. A NHG place reserved on, or before 30 June 2022, will still be able to progress to settlement.

www.nhfic.gov.au

Eligible New Home Guarantee properties include

• newly-constructed dwellings
• off-the-plan dwellings
• house and land packages
• land and a separate contract to build a new home

Use the postcode search tool to look up the property price caps for your location.

Also the postcode tool ^^^ demonstrates that it's very difficult to find a new home under the required threshold.

And if you can't afford to buy a house, get a better f**ken job ffs!

What did George Costanza say ? It's not a lie if you believe it.

But yeah, the Feds should not interfere with state matters.

Yeah you would need a caretaker guy to take the fall then instate someone legit later.... i asked once before - are there any long term perks in being a one month prime minister? Maybe just some agreements about future postings in lush overseas positions?

one thing they did was reduce the humanitarian aid budget by about $15 million or so

Scummo said we can take refugees from Ukraine, he is such a nice bloke. What he didn't mention was that they are limited to a 12 month stay, that they cannot get a work visa and they will not qualify for any Centrelink payments, so effectively we are only taking in rich merkins who can support themselves, or be sponsored by some other rich merkin.

He's so kind but very quick to say we'll take in Ukraine refugees.

I can imagine all the single Ukrainian women will be on the hunt for permanent Visa. Interesting. @strider

Yes. But we did face a pandemic and some wild natural disasters. What did you expect them to do?

I said it 3yrs ago. I dont trust the dirt bag. Abbot was much better.

I think many might end up freshly single, cos they arent letting their poor hubbies out of the country

I'd give it a crack but I am too busy

Most people I know not in the market have given up. They figure they'd rather just live in an area they like and have money to spend then be tied down to a debt and make sacrifices, live in a spot they don't like as much, give up on social events etc.

How much money do people even get these days? What's a good amount. I live cheaply. I am a bit of a minimalist. Rarely drink, don't smoke. I won't buy steak and while petrols expensive I drive mums corrola to save on fuel. I don't need much to survive

Talk soon I'm off to the gym and then Woolies to buy a tube of just for men.

Many are being taken in by existing Ukrainians within the community, or just other community minded folk out there. So those are the folk that also wear the cost.
