Do people not realise that ice is just methamphetamine, a drug that has been around since the late 19th century and not some new thing?

At the end of round one - Obfuscation, the news cycle has moved on and nobody seems to know wtf is going on any more. It occurred to me today that the last time we had such an epically bad series of governments mired in division and disunity was the Gorton-McMahon fiasco. This leads uncomfortably to the conclusion that, although that was decisively ended by "It's Time" and Gough, all we have today is an opposition who actively propose they would do more of the same. There was a time when the opposition took the role seriously and every time the not-Tories got into power they pushed for a significant agenda of change. And don't we need one today?

Until that happens the two main centres of runaway pricing should be safe regardless of any policy settings. Can we all just shut the gently caress up about Pavel? Who cares? If it is really jepardising your employment don't surf SA Aus Pol at work. Unless it is your job in which case get a less lovely toxic work environment.

At the end of round one - Obfuscation, the news cycle has moved on and nobody seems to know wtf is going on any more. The good news is they've spawned a generation of mini-me's who are mercifully free of any life experience outside of student politics or pet thinktanks, so that'll end well. Given the other generational implications of the boomer oligarchy, I'm wondering what it's going to take for an actual revolution, or are you all just biding your time until they're ready for the cheapest nursing home? Having been at the sharp end of how the Department is "managing" the WFD program (ie getting agencies to cover for their utter incompetence and disorganization to the point of penalizing their customers for questioning the process, the customers being the businesses running the projects), I'm well aware of how the outsourcing program is proceeding. I merely think they may as well shut the department of border farce down since it seems completely redundant now, and since that's working so well, let's do the same with a bunch of other politically-difficult departments. Why bother governing at all, people just blame you for everything.

Cartoon posted:There is little evidence that investor demand is a significant part of the overall housing demand. More over, the policies were intended to encourage supply. It's all a massive clusterfuck of unintended consequences but actual 'we need a roof' demand is still way ahead of supply so loving around with the levers controlling the policy clusterfuck still won't crash the market. Something like 36% of houses are owned by investors and assuming that remains steady I'd say that is a significant part of the overall demand for housing. The percentage of investor owned houses is falling somewhat due to APRA changing the lending regulations (or something) but it is still a lot of the market. The 'we need a roof' demand can be satisfied by renting and most people have fairly hard limits to what they can afford to spend on a house, limits that a lot of investors (especially institutional investors) don't have so they have a lot more scope to drive up the prices.

http://www.salon.com/2016/02/26/brian_eno_oscars_swag_bag_is_part_of_israels_cultural_propaganda_campaign/quote:For decades, the UN has been condemning the forcible takeover of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers who, backed by an enormous army, government subsidies and the United States, have flooded in from Moscow, London, Brooklyn, Cape Town and elsewhere. It’s a familiar story: The Europeans who settled America did the same to the Native Americans, and the British did it to the Aboriginal Australians. In both cases we turned the victims into the problem: America had a redskin problem. Australia had an abbo problem. But what they both had, in reality, was a settler problem. And what Israel has is a settler problem. All a part of the boomer problem. It says something when Palestinians still can't catch a break 30 years after South Africans. ewe2 fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Feb 29, 2016 |

The percentage of investor owned houses is falling somewhat due to APRA changing the lending regulations (or something) but it is still a lot of the market. Here's as near to a neutral document as I could find. http://www.rba.gov.au/publications/bulletin/2015/sep/pdf/bu-0915-3.pdf The best way not to have a housing bubble collapse? Immigration! Just make sure they aren't any darker than the living room walls. Please label hate material blind links. Also for all the hate given boomers, some of us fell into a bit of a trap. During my 'active' years I fought against the Fraser government and saw them ousted. I then relaxed a little during the Hawke Keating years and those fuckers snuck some pretty hosed up poo poo past me before I even realised it. By the time JWH hit the scene I was done fighting to some extent. The next twenty years have been a never ending cavalcade of hosed up poo poo and I can't believe things have gotten this hosed up. You can see how it is tempting to blame the people who are younger for letting it happen however misguided that narrative or impulse may be. I never voted for any of this poo poo.

I think I agree Cartoon on that there's more likely to be an easing of house prices as opposed to a crash, but I am a bit unsure about where the difference lies. 10%? 25%?
