Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.

This is how Dutton wins:

I wonder if the general public (if there is such a thing) cares.

As widely reported, Peter Dutton has/had? an extensive property portfolio.
I remember he had a fancy beachside investment place at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast.

“ Federal Defence Minister Peter Dutton sold his holding at no 109 for $6 million, pocketing a tidy profit on the $2.325 million he paid in 2014.”

I’m not sure that Albo and his wife achieving the aussie dream will hurt him at election time. Others things might, but not that so much I reckon.

Of course, a lot of federal pollies are hopelessly compromised when considering policies to reduce house prices.

This list shows Dutton as only owning one home, which is kind of a little sad if true.

But who knows they could have houses under partner's and kids names too.

Well, I personally don't begrudge him his recent purchase, but given the current housing crisis I can see how it might ruffle a few feathers.
It's bad optics whatever way you slice it.
I wouldn't fret about it though; it'll blow over shortly.

Yeah i read a few articles last night on Duttons real-estate history as you can see above he has a history of buying and selling quite quickly but they are almost all his own residence (better tax wise) i think the exception was the recent units.

So he is more a flipper than an acquirer of a big property portfolio.

I personally don't care either...

it's more a symptom of the gross inequality that our political class has allowed to develope within supposedly 'egalitarian' Australia rather than anything albo has personally done

politically however, is a different matter...

it just shows him, and his party, to be the aloof wankers they are

he should have taken one for the team

his advisors should have told him to take one for the team...

'the team' are struggling to hide their disdain for his little indulgence

I'm not so sure it will blow over

he was already so so on the nose I think this is his death blow

the greens are busy making hay to make it his death blow...

the greens - and an inept labor party - are almost ensuring we end up with a dutton government

personally, I think that would be a disaster... but I'm willing to take bets on it's probability...

Hello VJ

A great observation , cheap housing = more babies !!!

Australia desperately needs more babies and Pop won't help , with this problem .

Elon Musk was just talking about Australia's poor Birth Rate , miles below the 2 mark .

We are a Young Country that's just finding our Feet .

Oldies like me won't Make Australia Great !

China and Japan's longterm future is at risk , as they are getting old like Pop .

Immigration helps but we have NO homes for them .

We have 2 think of ways to keep our population Young !

Cheap Housing near schools , is a Great start .

Hows the graph, pretty crazy.

And the pill came out in Australia in Feb 1st 1961, slight lag but then free love here we come.

BTW. it would be interesting to over lay housing prices/affordability graph from the last 30 years, i bet it the opposite pattern, very sad.

Overall policy settings by both major parties are indirectly leading in the opposite direction.

Hi Vj

I’ve watched and read several LVO’s and Matt Barrie’s presentations. They provide an outlook on the current problems which are delivered with a smug arrogance, and an underlying tone of “it’s all the fault of the ALP”, when all available data reveals the origins of the problems lie with policies enacted by Howard and Costello. Policies which basically changed housing from a purchase to a tax deducible investment, and importing people to bump up GDP.

But that opinion comes as no surprise when the AIP is populated by a bunch of senior Liberal Party hacks and Barrie whose only claim to fame was being voted “Libertarian of The Year”. Van Onselen, in a recent interview with Monarchist David Flint, made no attempt to hide his disdain for the left. So we know where they’re both coming from.

The LNP for many years, have made no secret of their desire to cut real wages and did so ruthlessly. More recently, their tax cuts outrageously favoured high income earners while low income earners received little. By comparison, the ALP have fought for and achieved real pay increases for sections of the workforce and implemented revised tax cuts to provide a better outcome for low and middle income earners.

Covid and all its restrictions drove up costs across the economy. Shipping costs rose dramatically and a shortage of labour forced up food prices, and the usual run of extreme weather and reduced crop yields forcing up prices. The LNP reaction was to support businesses by throwing billions of dollars at them, very little of which made its way to the workers. Yet the LNP continually maintain the increases were caused by ALP policy.

Nine years of LNP government saw ever increasing budget defecits to record level. The two recent ALP budgets have seen large surpluses: inflation has also been halved since they assumed office. This should dispel the myth the LNP are superior economic managers.

They suggest a solution is to construct more multi storey, three and four bedroom apartment blocks. Developers are notorious for liquidating the building company to avoid any liability for structural defects, as displayed recently in Sydney. For that alone, no rational person would invest in such a property.

Governments need to further encourage business investment in regional areas, where land is much cheaper, and potential home owners need to realise your first home doesn’t need to be a 35 square cave.

Cheers.

A great post Salty and I agree with nearly everything you said .

I have to ask about Labor reducing Inflation by Half , since coming into Power .

Get Albo to tell the Governor of the RBA , as she will then be able to drop interest rates that have NOT come down 1 point .

Immigration was around 400k 4 ages .

On Albo's watch , its has exploded over 700k .

About the same % increase as Illegal immigrants entering the US under Biden .

I NOW agree Negative Gearing needs a major overhaul .

Can start by limiting the number of negatively geared properties a person can have , at 1 .

This one shares a couple of quotes from ALP MP's that are worth a read, re:optics

https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2024/10/albo-charges-taxpayers-100m-to-...

Hi Vj,

When The Australian quotes Labor MP’s on the basis on anonymity, my bullshit meter is triggered.

And now Van Onselen is pursuing the road upgrade angle to denigrate Albo.

The fact is the upgrade is long overdue and planning was initiated well before Albo’s new house was listed for sale. Sadly, for all their “foresight and planning”, the LNP just never got around to funding the upgrade.

The road has been a bottleneck for years and the upgrade will cater for future population growth.

I’m sure the other 25999 road users who travel that section every single day will appreciate the improvements.

But really, there is no end to the bullshit Van Onselen and his ilk are prepared to peddle.

Cheers

A great post Salty and I agree with nearly everything you said .

I have to ask about Labor reducing Inflation by Half , since coming into Power .

Get Albo to tell the Governor of the RBA , as she will then be able to drop interest rates that have NOT come down 1 point .

Immigration was around 400k 4 ages .

On Albo's watch , its has exploded over 700k .

About the same % increase as Illegal immigrants entering the US under Biden .

I NOW agree Negative Gearing needs a major overhaul .

Can start by limiting the number of negatively geared properties a person can have , at 1 .

Hi Pop,

The RBA seem oblivious to the damage they are causing to the younger people, when many people like myself are not affected by interest rate rises and in fact profit from it!!

Immigration is coming down after the Covid catch up, but there are still many specialist trades and professions we need.

Recently some parts of the media persecuted Albo over bringing in 1800 Yoga teachers from India. In fact they would be on a four year visa and the whole deal was part of the Australia-India Trade Agreement, negotiated by Dan Tehan and signed off by Morrison shortly before Albo & Co took over.

Shorten took Negative Gearing reform to an election and lost the "unlosable election". Guess who was behind the campaign against that.

Cheers

Sorry but the RBA is NOT Oblivious to inflation .

It is the ONLY thing they Really Look at !

It has not come down .

Our Immigration numbers exploded last Year !

Jan was higher than 2023 January .

Like Inflation , I have seen NO reduction in Immigration numbers .

Imho , Shorten got smashed for wanting to Ditch Franking Credits , not a modification ,or change , of Gearing .

Hi Salty, the numbers are not coming down that fast

We're running 'burnout economics' where monetary and fiscal are at odds: big infrastructure projects and big immigration increase demand (inflationary pressure) while rising rates are trying to stifle it - a bit like foot flat on both accelerator and brake as you do a burnout. A nice image, that one.

As you can see here, it's not working. Go through the top 25 economies or so, compare inflation rate to interest rate:

https://tradingeconomics.com/matrix

US - interest rate 5%, inflation rate 2.4%. They have overcome their inflationary problem.

UK - interest rate 5%, inflation rate 1.7%.

Canada - interest rate 4.5%, inflation rate 1.6%

Australia - interest rate 4.35%, inflation rate 3.8%. Notice it is way closer to the interest rate. Thus, it is not the RBA who are punishing young Australians, but rather those who are setting demand up to be high.

Your post above, agree with a lot of it, LNP aren't the answer either, for as you described, they set much of the policy that has led to the situation today. Something else will be required.

Hi Pop

Inflation here peaked at 7.8% in 2022, it's now at 3.6% for the June quarter and the September figure due out shortly will likely come in around 2.8% according to Trading Economics.

The measures implemented by the RBA impact younger home owners disproportionately and they don't seem to care if some lose their house. I would suggest a fairer mechanism would be to temporarily increase the GST but then it becomes political and we know where that will go.

I would expect a 12 to 18 month lag in immigration numbers once policy is implemented.

Shorten had a tax reform package: the LNP had a field day with negative gearing as well as franking credits, where the outrage was just as loud, and were going to make sure neither saw the light of day.

You can sell a plan as well as you like but if the vested interests are offended you will have a hard time getting it through. Never expect the LNP to have the interests of all Australians at heart.

Cheers

Hi Vj,

Our inflationary cycle is behind those of the countries you mentioned. But if the September figure comes in at 2.8% as predicted by TE, then there is a reasonable case for a 25 basis point cut.

Unfortunately the government has to tread that fine line between doing what they know is correct and not upsetting the population in general or giving the opposition ammunition.

Cheers

I think it's a Great idea to dramatically Increase the GST and eliminate some other taxes , like Stamp Duty .

They're an hour ahead of tbb so guessing they pulled the plug for tonight!

ALP vote is struggling to hold ground > only slowing pulling back their Vote...
On current ongoing vote count Alp will finish around 3% down

Green Vote was struggling early as with Alp but also struggles to pull back their Vote

Others ironically bled most to I4C but gained Indy preference to pull a seat off Greens

Seat count tallied evenly fast then camped to crawl to a lazy ALP hung Parliament

Honest News Wrap for Lib crew ( tbb did sit by the vote tally...so this is fair dinkum!)
Important to recap that early on Libs were hopeful with a 3% swing...
They also grabbed 8 seats pretty fast...so it wasn't all one way. (ALP will take note!)

ALP were seriously sweating for half the night...rest assured that Libs put up a good fight.
So if ya look about ya might find a news article about a Swing to Libs & there was early on!
Important...if ya do...that was genuine and was rushed out by Newscorp to capitalize....
It might look odd in hindsight but tbb is confirming Newscorp were right to release swing as News...Ok!

Hi Pop,

IIRC the GST was supposed to replace ALL other taxes……..but we all know what happened!

Warning……..Rant Incoming!!!

Democracy is defined as government of the people, by the people, for the people.

As Meatloaf told us, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad!!!

It’s a pretty good system, proven over the years and we have the best democracy money can buy.

Our version is the Westminster System can be described as “adversarial”, where vigorous debate precedes the passing of legislation designed to provide the serfs with a comfortable and joyous existence. After nutting out our problems in Parliament our elected representatives, government and opposition, all go off for a beer and a laugh then come back occasionally, look at what’s wrong and do it all again.

Unfortunately, it has devolved into a “confrontational” system, where the opposition representatives have no interest in constructive legislation but do their utmost to frustrate the government and where vested interests force compromise upon the system, after exchanging gifts, and on occasion giving employment, to those who arranged the compromise.

It was the Mad Monk, Abbott, on direction from his Mistress, P Credlin, who proudly proclaimed it is the job of oppositions to oppose. A simplistic model, but one that has ensured government has become increasingly difficult and at times dysfunctional, with the serfs ultimately being the losers. And then we have the Greens, but that’s another story.

We deserve a system where the serfs overall well-being is prioritized ahead of the ideological egos of some of our elected representatives. That may be a long time coming.

Cheers.

Clarification on 6 quarters of Tanking (Household Spend Recession!)
It's Not the Reserve Bank nor [L] or ALP policy at fault...

Neutral tbb will explain exactly wotz goin' on in no time at all.
Again the Govt / Opposition & media are asleep to the obvious...
That being a Double Whammy of 100% Household cash credit devaluations

April 2020 : Covid Emergency raised Tap'n'Go from $100 > $200
Household spending doubled > Interest Rates Doubled to record increases...

Jan-Feb 2023 : Inflation Peaks...(Feel free to Check!) but why here & now...Huh!
Answer is really that Simple!
Jan -Feb 2023 : Mastercard / Banks cut $200 Tap'n'Go Limit back down 100% to pre pandemic $100.
Inflation starts dropping > Keeping interest rates in check...(Correct!) All say Aye!

Explanation!
ALP let the $200 Tap'n'Go ride a little longer over the next 6 months with NO mandatory $100 return!
Why did ALP slow the Back Pedal..
The reason was to Scoop a Record GST Pool...
Off the back of Peak Rocketing Tail of Record Migration ticking over Oz high inflation / rates Jackpot.
ALP Seriously banked a Massive Record GST Windfall to pork barrel their losable 2025 Election!

Howard style > Middle Class Welfare...Buy Votes with Disaster Relief / Tax Cuts / QLD 50c Fares etc...

Now! There is a part 2 Healthy Dose of Reality Check that keeps spending in check...(Watch this...)
During Covid > Online Tech Banks bully Big 4 Bully Banks to cut back on Cash....
( Recall the Banks banning Pensioners + Digitized Loans / Deft + Digital Transit Switch)
Banks rip out record ATM Cash outs (Fuck Off!) Now charge a fortune just to look at a bank note.
Sad Reality > Com' Bank couldn't even Mint a Matilda Coin set..tbb told'em how Fucked Up that was.
They agreed! (Ironic that Woolies now Releases Minted Quality Matilda Coin Sets...(All back to front!)

Aust Post plugged up the Holes in Regions with no ATMs...but!
Armaguard refuse to double the risk & Cost to get Robbed servicing Far out Ambush regions.
Not our job to be Mobile Banks to Cow Cockies!
Cost is passed onto Oz Post Regional Branches @ $4,000/wk & they gotta do it so don't promote it!

Naturally all the Cow Cockies & Pensioners hit up the Supermarket / Department store Cash Outs...
Also buying 80 cent Ice Creams to Withdraw $400 from Maccas Teenies...
Night Wolf packs were drooling over cashed up Drive Thru Lone Tween Gurlz.

Same deal...Maccas can't afford to run a 24/7 Armaguard Teenage Branch Manager Pensioner Bank
Yep! Fuck Off ...No more $400 Hodad Ice Creams We're not yer Bank! Also instantly halved Cashies!

Sept 2023 Soon az...Woolies tells Shoppers to stop hittin' them up for $500 Cash Outs.
Stop using us as yer ATM...online Cashless Crisis now re-brands Supermarkets as Cash Banks.

Oct 2023 Woolies drops Cashout Limit from $500 > $200 ( Fuckin' massive Tank > Fuck Off Creeps! )
March 2024 Coles Bank likewise drops Cash Out Limit from $400 > $200 ( Fuckin' Massive Tank!)

Never in Oz history has Card Credit & Cash Outs been halved over 5 Quarters.
Please pay attention...ABS 5-6 Quarters of Household Spend tanking...there it is...well durr! Massive!

Not one Expert shares the Greatest Banking / Supermarket / Store Credit Tanking in Oz History!
Not even Treasurer cares to share the obvious 100% + Double Dose Household Debit Smash Hits.
All Brain Dead > acting as if this Massive Double Debit hit never Happened...can assure crew, it did!

There's actually more as Online Gaming Credit has also just been banned...(Massive Baby Bottle!)
Govt: 'No more dipping into Lucky Pay Day Loan / Mobster Credit for the Weekend Footy Tipping'
Gamblin' industry are trialling Play Station Gift Cards...
This is exactly What Online Lone Sharks want...to switch Mouldy Cash Credit over to Online Banks...
How?
Well like this...Govt can't stop gamblers buying Play Station / E games Gift Cards with Credit Cards.
Just Like that...the only reason that WSL hooked up Goldie...with the Promise of online live Credit!
All make sense now! Shh!

We're shifting gears real fast from Cash / Banks credit Squeeze to Online Predatory Loan Sharks.
Big Tech banks are digitizing outlandish Social Credit > Exorbitant Mobster Repayments or Lock outs!

Morning TrueBlue

Again you sift through all the chaff , all the crap and hit the High note !

I have not heard 1 commentator , point out the Obvious cause and effect , U highlight .

As VJ said , Tap and Go , the new M2 .

So often , it's the Simple changes that cause the greatest effects .

Pulling any Lever , causes ripples , Politicians LOVE pulling Levers , but have no ideas of the Waves they create .

Super insightful Suff TBB !

Great work , again !

Pop DownTHURSDAY, 5 SEP 2024
Our Experts love Models , showing a myriad of interconnecting forces working together , that explain , their View of the World .

Unlike TBB , they are unable to C , or Consider , what are the Keystones , in their Theory's .

Keystones are the Most Important Foundations of Australian society .

We need to Consider a Keystones Role , in an Arch and in all Ecosystems .

Keystones must be treated with much more Respect , they are holding US together imho !

TBB is a keystone of SN !

Thanx for the Credit crew...takes no time for each shopper to check @ Supermarket.
As tbb said...not one Expert passes the pub test...
All playing dumb (Choose)
A : Lazy & Rude
B : Thick and compulsive liar (Likes making shit up...just to stir the pot...Lights Match...Kaboom!)
C : Too Rich ...lost count after first Bajillion Gazillion.
D : All of Above + Pretend to care by running a dozen full page Mast Heads...[ Vote 4 Blood Money ]
All of them still get free shit delivered by lear jets to w/e shacks & Eskimo Slaves on tap in Bar fridges.

How could any pretend not see & call largest ever Doubling then Halving of in house Credit...Huh!
tbb is in Iso...only go to the Shops once / month...if tbb can spot it...then surely our 24/7 tap dancers.

Perhaps those of us scaling Rat Race skulls can see clearer from the slippery slope of the abyss!
Yep! As expected...It's Chockablock up the Whazoo...reckon that's yer problem...
Full throttle Twin Engine Reverse Thrust Goodvibes...'can't give ya any more Captain...(Doomed!)

tbb salutes the crew for not buying into Expert [ Factcheckers ]
Paid to censor the facts of the matter as a matter of fact!

Coming down from a universally rorted Viral Climax is not our most shameful depraved act...
Take a look outside yer windows...bar gets set lower each day...all say aye!
Better off scooping out yer own Brainz Yummy Brainz!

Auntie's flock Voted for Nazi Insiders to program RAGE ...Don't ya just know it!
Trax choose themselves...tbb just cues them...maybe one day...the crew will get a say! (A Joke...Ok!)

{Open Apology} tbb never meant to withhold, exploit or ridicule Emergency Economic Response.
tbb is in a position to view world in real time with more time in isolation...with that anomaly in mind!

9th Aug 2024
tbb contacted Oz Treasurer & relayed this Massive Non Govt Emergency Response Driver of Economy.
Also requested Govt to examine Global Emergency Response / Recover effect on Household Credit.
tbb feels that Nations gain better insight of World Economy by evaluating Emergency Credit Response.

Reason is essential, as Govts that oversaw Doubling of Credit were replaced when Credit was halved!
Meaning very few Westworld Govts are recording their Credit Recovery...
Sure...[Canada] / France...but that was massively contrived by Olympics Countdown.
Considering No world Govt had control over Global Emergency Credit Doubling / Halving...then...
True Oz could work with [Canada] as both ramped Immigration...Canada Govt - Can share Key Data / Base.

Also consider little control over Sanctions...again France sits on the fence trading with Russia.

We crew understand when & why Global Credit was Doubled during Early weeks of April 2020
Repeat > All World Govts Changed...
Since Jan 2023 credit was halved but never in unison, by Sept Credit fees Doubled + Cash outs Halved.

Crew are no fools & shared this Massive Credit Card Ramp/Response is the prime driver of economy.
tbb felt it's essential to evaluate rare Global response & equally feels this data is of Global Significance!

Even believe no nation is tracking + any nation clever enough will gain market advantage & Global cred.
Also reckon if ya bottle it...Well! It is Emergency Data but Emergency is over...Saying! It's a honey pot!
Exclusive insight into Each Nations Pandemic staged credit recovery is a Massive market advantage.
Any clever nation could measure the speed of World economy & response time of Any Future Crisis.
Also which nations follow similar Paced Credit lines...knowing all that would be worth a Fortune!
Example would be how each nation tracked Vax compliance > simply switch to Credit Recovery compliance.
Each nation would be ranked on return to Credit Neutrality...as in Fully Compliant...free from Emergency hand outs!
Which nations are most resilient to Credit Shock & how did they achieve or pace their Credit recovery!

Recapping...tbb felt he crossed the Line by exploiting or part ridiculing Emergency Pandemic Response.
Oz treasurer has been updated & informed of all above non govt Emergency Credit driving Oz economy.
Also insisted on no reply as it was merely Emergency Response civic duty [factcheck]. All good!

24 Oct 2024 Bank of Canada

"Does Unconventional Monetary and Fiscal Policy contribute to the Covid Inflation Surge in US?

Review conducted by National Natural Science Foundation of China!

A lone snapshot of a Global reckoning what our leading crew proposed

However this review was conducted to secure an exemption to re-elect Dem Govt this Election.
The timing is like an Immaculate Intervention...A badge of Honour from a Cornflake Pack.

tbb & crew requested global recovery review for Global / National security...
Shoulda coulda banged me forehead to predict it's a power tool to exonerate Govts for re-election!

Again...all here know Political Powers need to review in order to re-evaluate to exempt or exploit.
This being a US only example > not a Global Exercise but it vindicates the need to review stimulus!
We now know Global Banks and Treasurers are onto this to cover their arses.
Crew are wise to Govts further exploiting Covid Stimulus for Poll advantage...All say Aye!

Superstoked! We made a difference in keeping the bastards honest...
Sure tbb! Keep telling yerself that, you bloody stupid bastard...ya just gifted them another weapon!
tbb : Oopsie! Sorry 'bout that!

Qld 2024 Election Guide to Minor Right Parties
Media are calling for hung parliament with any of these goons holding power!
so tbb thought to bite at the wheels of this lot first in case the shitshow kicks tbb to the curb...

[Disclaimer] tbb sat wondering in a Health Clinic recently...
Upon reflection pondered why tbb sits alone within a broad family circle, inlaws & friends!
If you must ask...tbb is ashamed to share that all in this world are racist...everyone of them...
No! They don't bother hiding it...Nothing to hide if all are racist...

Those Family that know tbb's love of fellow First Nation shut me out & shout me down.
Yes! Of course...gang up & demand tbb remove tributes of brother Qldurrz...they humour themselves!
It's no joke! Feeling under threat by own family...One of Us...
So now ya know why Qld Votes #1 Racism!
Easier then for tbb to exempt himself & for crew to understand this is a very real bland interpretation!
tbb must humour himself to stay sane when compiling his brotherly Qld Hate File!
So if ya think it's a tad naughty....yer kidding yerself...this is as lame & tame as tbb can exhibit.
tbb is of a Qld where...
Methodist (vs) Anglican (vs) Catholics or Goldie (vs) Brizzo despised & banned civil unions!
tbb is being reserved sharing secret #1 Right Wing Media Dreamtime...this is the PG version!
