Tony Abbott is a rich, smug merkin like yourself Gronk. Only he's richer and more smug.

No wonder you hate him.

Nice try fisherman Pou.

I doubt he is all that cashed up BTW. IIRC he has a modest home in Forestville. His Missus worked until very recently in child care.

How has Tony boasted about his achievements to make him smug BTW ? I don't really see him as smug TBH ?

A modest home doesn't mean he isn't cashed up. There are far better investments than the family home.

Because just like you he thinks he knows best. Smug doesn't need to boast.

Oh, so you have no idea. What a surprise.

:lol: Need to change your bait, Pou.

Smug doesn't need to boast.

Sorry mate, smug is just inappropriate for Tony. Try smaug.

Put it this way Gronk - if you own a few houses are you really better off living in the best one?

That depends. How diversified is his investment portfolio ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably just owns one house and some super, hey?

Usually it does as it your principal place of abode that is exempt from Capital Gains Tax.

and Land Tax.

but you could always get the union slush fund to renovate your worst one to increase the value before selling thus increasing your capital gains

Why am I not surprised ...

he is probably only trying to find out what Carr said about him

'' 'The celebration in the Kissinger family on the news of your [Carr's] appointment was indecent,' [Kissinger] said - so generous, so gracious - at the circular table in the wood-panelled dining room, Dutch flower painting on the wall behind him.''
Other guests included Rupert Murdoch, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the US's permanent representative at the United Nations and now National Security Adviser, Susan Rice

However a far more profitable venture would be to purchase worthless rural land and have it re-zoned for mining.

Why sell it at all?

 

[Avenger]

Why sell it at all?

Down size and use the rest of the money to travel and buy shit like a Hummer. On a serious note my intention is to live in something smaller and buy something in Montenegro or Italy and live in Europe for 3 months of the year during my retirement.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But if your best house was an investment property to begin with then you wouldn't need to downsize it. It shouldn't stop you downsizing your principle abode when the kids move out. Plus an investment property generates an income which reduces the cost to hold, meaning you can buy a better one in the first place.

 

[Gronk]

It's all about the bucket list Pou.

Go to Vegas. Snort coke off a hookers arse. Blow all your cash playing blackjack.

It wasn't.

Would've cost you then. Even rorting the first home buyer's handout a second time (or more).

FHOG is useless in Sydney, Pou. Try and keep up.
