SuperTed, what has buying or selling the farm got to do with a budget surplus or deficit?

In your Economics 101 textbook you will see that deficit has its economic place (e.g. to stimulate and economy) – contrary to the Costello line that it is the root of all evil. It’s just that right now, we don’t need the stimulus and people swallow the…[Read more]

Summo, what’s your commission?

Summo. Out from the cold you come with “forum spam”. At least something is happening in Adelaide, I suppose.

Thanks Chan. As I said the first time, I get the joke. Really, very funny. Seriously.

Happy to have given you another excuse to post, though!

PPOR = Principal place of residence (Home!)

I got the joke the first time, but I still ask “??!”.

I’m with CGU and the only complaint I have is that it’s a pain to make a payment (you need to call a Brisbane number during business hours).

(I know that’s not directly related to the cover itself, though, but it’s all part of the “relationship”.)

Analysis paralysis exists, but instinct is something far more dangerous.

SIS, there ain’t a lot to defend when a cost of living debate comes around!

Any party would have had a budget surplus over the last 2 terms of office, so to say that the Libs have done well is not really that true and yes it is largely due to selling assets like Telstra.

Spot on, Houses. Equally, if the Coalition had been in power in the late-80’s you can bet that they would have seen…[Read more]

There’s an article in today’s SMH that suggests that 50% of emails in the US are “spam”. It even quotes a couple of spammers who say that they get anything from a 1% – 7% response rate (!). That’s a lot of enhanced equipment in the Land of the Free!

One of the “legitimate spammers” (another of life’s great oxymorons) claims to turnover $2 million…[Read more]

Wayne, I still don’t know if your point is any more than cliched rhetoric.

So, yes. Enough said.

My boss will kill me re the time it takes to get this working!

CBA have just decreased their FF points per dollar ratios. Std = $2 per point; Gold = $1.50 per point; Platinum = $1 per point

The name of the game is maximising serviceable exposure through equity and minimising non-deductible debt.

Peter Costello is doing his best to discourage us from Number Three.

Guru, is everything okay?

Thanks qwerty – that’s just reminded me!

I knew the engineers had put it down to something (re my post above), and I knew it wasn’t mine subsidence.

Clay content was it for my parents, too.

But let’s just say that an unacceptably high proportion of government spending I consider to be electoral bribery.[V]

Okay, so your point actually has nothing to do with any political party in particular then…

Celivia,

Is this a local property?

My parents had a place (PPOR) in Bradbury that had had a decent sized crack in the wall. (First noticed when the place was approx. 25 years old). For a non-engineer like me, to say it concerned me is an understatement.

They got an engineer’s report which said that it was not a structural issue. They said that…[Read more]
