Hey friends, sorry to post off topic. But last month there was superannuation chat that I can't find now. Which was the best Australian super fund?

That's the position that real estate agent and investor, Bella Exposito finds herself in after going all in and buying up 19 properties in the Queensland mining town of Moranbah.

"About 70 per cent of my wages is going out on mortgage repayments, and rates are on top of that cost. It makes me feel sick and very angry," she says.

Rough consensus was Australian Super if you want an industry fund, Australian Ethical if you don't, if I'm remembering right.

Sunsuper for cheap as cheap can be index funds through Vanguard, if you are that way inclined.

Those Qld projects are astonishing, but we might need to hold the horses there, I want to see what the state election throws up. Given both Qld and WA's penchant for playing the meanies from Canberra trick because it works every loving time, I agree it's probably narrower than we'd hope.

Polling is indicating the Greens are going to get the Northcote seat in the Victoria state lower house, which I think(?) put's labour at only +1 in the lower house.

I guess house prices going ever up helped in that regard.


My house has gone from 400K to worth 700k in 4 years. I'd like to move closer to work, but that means buying a house that's gone from 600k to 1 million in 4 years too. First World Problems I know.

I'm really happy that Bernardi being a poo poo about fundraising has raised $270000 to provide education to African women.

It's funny how whenever one of those fucks says something is outrageous it backfires on them hilariously. They have a whinge about boys in dresses, the charity organising breaks fundraising records. They have a whinge about a musician, the song in question rises to number one on the charts.

Non-binding postal plebiscite. There's a lot more work to do. Even if they play fair there will still be work in trying to protest against the "allowed to discriminate" rules they'll bring in.

The Killers played Forgotten Years by Midnight Oil at the grand final

quote:

Few of the sins of the father, are visited upon the son
Hearts have been hard, our hands have been clenched in a fist too long
Our sons will never be soldiers, our daughters will never need guns
These are the yrs between
These are the yrs that were hard fought and won
Contracts torn at the edges, old signatures stained with tears
Seasons of war and peace, these should not be forgotten yaers
Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics
How many dreams remain? This is a feeling too strong to contain
The hardest years, the darkest yrs, the roarin' yrs, the fallen yrs
These should not be forgotten yrs
The hardest yrs, the wildest yrs, the desperate and divided yrs
We will remember, these should not be forgotten yrs
Our shoreline was never invaded, our country was never in flames
This is the calm we breathe, this is a feeling too strong to contain
Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics
Signatures stained with tears, who can remember
We've got to remember
The hardest...
Forsaking aching breaking yrs, the time and tested heartbreak yrs
These should not be forgotten yrs
The blinded yrs, the binded yrs, the desperate and divided yrs
These should not be forgotten yrs, remember

So the ad was on Sky and it details the shocking things done to no supporters such as:

calling someone a homophobic maggot on facebook
calling someone a prehistoric bigot on facebook
calling them sad people on facebook

There was one thing which seemed even mildly offensive (saying they should have their teeth kicked in).

The no campaign is so loving slimy. It would actually be less sickening if they just went with the usual more aggressively bigoted arguments against gay marriage rather than playing at being the persecuted minority.

Last week the front page story in the community newspaper was about one of the candidates in the local election complaining about being "trolled" (people criticising her for lovely behaviour). I'll see if I can find a copy. For boomers getting owned on facebook is both incredibly relatable and the most pressing human rights issue imaginable so expect whinging about it to become the uniting principle of the right.
