gently caress Bob Day. The fall out from the RBA board announcement yesterday has been fascinating. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-04/reserve-bank-stuck-between-rock-and-hardplace-on-interest-rates/8415044 quote:Reserve Bank stuck between rock and a hard place on interest rates ANALYSIS By business editor Ian Verrender Updated about 3 hours ago Also refusing a sausage sanga at a barbee doesn't pass the pub test Malformed, so gently caress off and die or resign. Ray Hadley on housing affordability this morning was straight up comedy. "Kids these days don't remember the era of 18% interest rates and how hard we had to do it...."

I think someone crunched the numbers in The Conversation awhile back. Servicing an 18% loan at the time was not just cheaper than today, but far cheaper. Or just ask Hadley why they didnt require 40+ year mortgages back then?

I'll give Ray a tip, home loan rates have never been 18% for anyone that wasn't being blatantly ripped off and that crazy peak of 15-17% only ran from like 86-90 then cooled right off. I'd rather buy a house for $200-300k and suddenly have to find cash to repay a doubled interest rate than pay $1m back from day one.

Looks like someone has been whispering bad deals Hansons way (and it's not Ashby). Well that or Druery is trying to claim credit for poo poo that he has nothing to do with. "I like to think of what I do in working against One Nation as a community service... My hand on their electoral throat squeezing the preferential life out of them," he [the preference whisperer] said.

Also they're largely incredibly loving dumb. Sure there are a few outliers, but they won't go into comedy, because they know there's no money there for conservatives.

Urcher posted:http://theconversation.com/houses-arent-more-unaffordable-for-first-home-buyers-but-they-are-riskier-75130 The article also totally ignores that a 20% deposit has risen from one year of median income to two and a half years. It's getting to the point where the amount you need for even a minimum deposit is inflating faster than the ability to save for one - especially on top of rent and childcare.

Isn't the median wage today something like $38k

Nibbles! posted:Isn't the median wage today something like $38k You know I think you're right. I calculated the article's 2017 wage figure from their figures of $4.7k being 69% of monthly before-tax, but on re-reading it that's the average wage. gently caress.

Yeah, I think the average is like $55k but then the median is much lower.

# ? Apr 5, 2017 05:36 |

In 2013-14, the median gross household income was $80.5k, average was $107.2k. If we assume a significant number of dual-income households, this is pretty supportive of your 38k/55k individual figures. Data from http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/6523.02013-14?OpenDocument

The WA Libs have picked a Jeff Kennett staffer to review why they lost the election. Hilarity ensues.quote:The WA Liberals have appointed the head of a government relations firm to conduct a comprehensive independent review of the party's "dysfunctional" state election campaign, following last month's downfall of the Barnett government. A little-known fact is that both ALP and Lib PR firms are mostly owned by the one company, STW Communications. John Griffin was Kennett's chief of staff for 5 years and finished with that in 1997, so long ago I can't dig up much about the circumstances, except that he "resigned to to establish his own business consultancy". More on STW here, from when it used to be called STW Group. The tl;dr from all this though is PR people are trying to fix the message and not the party, so it'll all be for nothing.

Urcher posted:http://theconversation.com/houses-arent-more-unaffordable-for-first-home-buyers-but-they-are-riskier-75130 This is rough as guts and I had to interpolate some data points where I couldn't find info so don't take this as gospel, but it shows kind of what I expected it to show. 1990 is a massive outlier and people are right to complain about housing affordability. Also note this is for Sydney only and for Average not MEDIAN wage which is a pretty huge difference. From memory it was average wage 80k Median wage 55k, however I couldn't find any historical median wage data.

hooman posted:*hits self with huge stick with "LABEL YOUR AXES" written on it* Heh. Just goes to reinforce what I said earlier, the issue with housing affordability isn't the repayments, it's the massive pile of cash you need to somehow scrape together so you can start making them in the first place. To be fair to the article author, the point he makes about risk of shifting interest rates being higher than ever is also a significant concern.
