BloatedCorpse posted:The national interest rate is set by the reserve bank which loans money to the other banks. They then loan out that money at whatever rate they want, which tends to hug the national rate pretty closely because if they had their rates too high then a competitor would undercut them and people would move their loans over to the competitor. The RBA sets the cash rate which is the rate at which banks settle overnight loans with the RBA which is generally used for operational purposes such as settling accounts with the RBA. That money isn't used by banks for funding loans for things like mortgages, personal loans, credit cards or business loans. Money for those purposes come from a variety of sources including short and long bonds (and also securitisation) but these funds come from the wholesale lending market. Funds from the wholesale market are usually available at the cash rate + a premium so when the RBA moves the cash rate, the change in cash rate can influence a change in the wholesale rate but there's no guarantee it will change. If it does change the wholesale funding rate, then a bank may choose to pass on (some or all) of the difference to the consumer or be greedy and don't change anything. Also if a bank's funding source is primarily, from foreign sources, then the cost of those funds would, in theory, be much less affected by movements in the Australian cash rate.

My favourite part of a housing bubble is it may hit sometime soon after a labor government takes office federally, leading idiots(otherwise known as voters) to believe that was the cause and effect, firmly entrenching us in a thousand year reich under fuhrer Morrison with an austerity package harder to take than a suppository of all wisdom.

The whole mortgage you can't afford thing just reeks of victim blaming. Sure there are people who live far beyond their means, but houses are expensive and not everyone is rich.

Are you serious? I mean I know the whole borrowing money thing implies you cant afford a house, but if you actually cant afford the repayments, no one is holding a loving gun to your head to take on the loan.

Murodese posted:I want to watch the bubble burst and the Australian economy implode into a gaping black hole just because some men want to watch the world burn I was on the train yesterday with a couple of guys in high-vis clothing, one bitching about how their wages haven't increased so they were struggling to meet the payments on their investment properties. As in, plural of property. There are going to be so many (former) CUB tears when the bubble bursts, especially seeing as the mining jobs are already stalling / disappearing. e: 8 flags at Tony Abbott's press conference. 8 flags + 1 Prime Minister = 9 19 members of Cabinet - 8 flags = 11 therefore, LNP did 9/11, wake up sheeple!!!1111one

open24hours posted:When the alternatives are likely to lead to an even more miserable life than the one you get when you have a mortgage you can't afford they might as well be. Renting really isn't that bad, honest. But there is an element of victim blaming going on. We live in a culture that has hammered the notion of buying into your own home into its citizens since birth, and we shouldnt go around sneering at people because they aren't that economically educated, are worse off, or succumb to the weight of cultural pressures. I have a lot of friends/family that have dumb mortgages but I wont be sitting around all  when the market goes belly up and they all get royally hosed over.

quote:The inquiry heard that a student came to Paterson in the late 1980s to complain a teacher, Damian Vance, had touched him inappropriately and asked him to engage in mutual masturbation. Paterson told the boy to go to the library and “think about what he was alleging”, he told the inquiry. Good jorb.

I wouldnt buy a house just to keep her around anyway - every place I rented I just took her and didnt tell anyone and it was never an issue.

I kinda get the feeling that any badly supervised organization that had control over the welfare of children, secular or otherwise, would have run into these sorts of problems. Penn. State football team isn't really a religious organization and look at the diddling that went on there.
