If you aren't factoring in the impact of inflation on your investment and only earn a return equal to inflation then it's your own fault and you should not get a government handout to help you the mitigate risk. The only exception to this should be the primary residence, but I'd be tempted to increase the 1 year threshold on that since that seems like it'd mainly benefit those flipping houses.

How old was Aisha when she got married? Why is pork a sin to eat yet marrying a 6 year old girl is ok? Who killed 800 men in Medina? What's the penalty for leaving your faith? Why do gays get hung from cranes in Iran? Why can't women drive a car in Saudi? Why do CHRISTIANS get 10 years in jail for owning a bible or wearing a crucifix around their neck in Saudi Arabia? Why is there no problem with terrorism in Japan?

Also a cyclist got ran over by an idiot driver in Brisbane today, and it's caused loving mayhem out on the westside because Moggill Rd is literally the only road in and it occurred at a very unfortunate choke-point (one of many) where if you got stuck on it you were hosed and couldn't bypass it. Apparently the backlog was 7km+

Sydney, 17 February 2017: The Chairman of the Australian Bankers’ Association, Andrew Thorburn, today announced the appointment of Anna Bligh to lead the ABA as it continues its work to strengthen trust and confidence in banking and deliver better outcomes for customers. “We are excited to appoint Anna as Chief Executive Officer at such a pivotal time for our industry,” Mr Thorburn said. “Anna’s focus will firmly be on the culture within banking and lifting respect for our profession; creating a strong vision for customers and on how our industry responds and leads on regulatory reform. “As I’ve met with Anna I’ve seen the leadership, values and accountability she will bring to the role – and a willingness to confront and challenge the industry to continually improve. “Anna has a track record of community service and a strong ability to connect with people. She is highly regarded and respected by community, political and business leaders and understands the need for all stakeholders to work together to deliver the best outcome for customers.” Mr Thorburn added: “Australia has a world-class banking system and there is more we can do to be better for customers and demonstrate the role banks play for them, the broader community and the Australian economy. “We have also heard the message from customers and from the public, and the industry is serious about change. The appointment of Anna demonstrates our commitment to this.” Ms Bligh has more than 30 years’ experience in public service, initially with community organisations, before entering the Queensland Parliament in 1995. She held ministerial responsibilities for a number of portfolios including Education and Finance, and served as Treasurer and Deputy Premier before becoming Premier from 2007-2012. She holds Honorary Doctorates from the University of Queensland and Griffith University and the National Emergency Services Medal for her service during the Queensland floods in 2011. Ms Bligh was awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in the Australia Day honours in 2017. Ms Bligh is currently the Chief Executive Officer at YWCA New South Wales, a role she has held for the past three years. During that time she has worked with vulnerable and financially disadvantaged Australians. Ms Bligh said: “Our banks are critical to the strength and stability of our national economy and the prosperity and well-being of every Australian. We all rely on our bank for the most important financial decisions of our lives, so we want a system that is open, fair and trustworthy. “I am excited by this opportunity to lead and shape the reforms needed to strengthen public trust and confidence in our banking system.” Ms Bligh, who becomes the ABA’s first female CEO, will commence in the role on 3 April. She replaces Steven Münchenberg, who announced in October last year that he was stepping down after almost seven years as CEO. Mr Münchenberg will finish with the ABA on 14 April, to enable a transition to Ms Bligh. “On behalf of the membership and Council of the ABA, I want to thank Steven for his commitment and strong leadership as the industry navigated through a rapidly changing political, regulatory and economic environment following the global financial crisis,” Mr Thorburn said. “Steven is a total professional who has worked tirelessly during what have been challenging times for our industry. We have a stronger foundation to build on thanks to Steven and his team.”

You Am I posted:Truly he is a piss weak PM. It's getting embarrassing how awful he is at negotiating, which is terrible since he was a lawyer and investment banker. Maybe he's so used to getting his own way all the time due to those previous roles that he doesn't understand when someone stands up to him. His problem is that he negotiates too much to try and look like A Reasonable Man, but he's dealing with cretins and fuckwits all day so it don't work.

There's no CGT on the primary residence (but also you can't negatively gear it). Arguably, this is one of the distortions that makes property more attractive than other forms of investment.

Katherine Murphy seems to have woken up and realised that  quote:We were talking about the relentlessness of everything. I told him I’d thought over Christmas about hanging up my boots because the universe we both inhabit now feels hostile to humanity, it now roils like a cauldron. Spend too long in a cauldron and you end up as essential nutrients for a witch. Uh Katherine, that's been the case for a decade. But read the rest, it's quite good, explaining why Shorten is in as much a mess as Turnbull. A mess none of us want, and no one will fix it.
