Greg Jericho pointed out that various other ABC journalists have written the exact same thing tax cuts as Alberici but I guess she chose to do it when the LNP is campaigning hard to win support for so it was a big no no

An article in the ABC telling the RBA to lower interest rates so we are in a neutral position when the US stock market crashes again. But Joe I don't think they can go any lower

I did wonder last week how Katherine Murphy was going to skew the polling results and welp it's a beauty. After arguing that Malcolm being ahead in Prefered PM was a sign of a strong start to 2018, this week she has just chosen not to include any mention of his 5 point fall in her article today.

That's embarassing, I even read it twice and must have glanced over that part both times. My only excuse is that it was the paragraph right next to a Tony Robbins targeted ad and I am wondering what I clicked on that's served me that.

There are a lot of pissed off people and we might see this translating into something a decade from now (although I doubt it) but in the short term nothing is going to change over there except for the occasional downtick in the size of the youth population.

Without being a dick and wishing ruin on your family, you're in a privileged position to get or maintain a mortgage on one income when a family home typically takes double income now and it should also come as no surprise that people who aren't in that position need the market to change. That almost necessitates current owners getting hosed just a lil bit. Ideally it only fucks property investment portfolio types but someone who did nothing wrong is getting stooged eventually.

Exactly this, actually. I'd love to see interest rates go up and punish rent-seeking parasites but since they're almost certainly making good money they'll just sell up and move on. It's people struggling to pay their one mortgage that would get turbofucked by 15% interest rates. I realise I'm in a privileged position but it's also a position of not living in the states where house prices have gone completely bananas. Living in SA I expect to make a loss on this house if we ever sell, but we've bought it to live in, not to flip for a profit.

What I'm trying to say in a very mealy-mouthed fashion is that I expect to lose a few tens of thousands on this house in the long run (as a combination of over-paying and the bottom of the market falling out eventually) but if some poor sap is paying a horrendous mortgage just so they don't have to commute 2 hours each day from Western Sydney or what have you they could stand to lose hundreds of thousands, while the guy who got bankrolled by his parents to buy 20 investment properties will just sell up and look for the next opportunity.

I think that's a bit simplistic still, because the portfolio owners have to sell to a market and take a loss per property that would scale with the size of their portfolio. They won't be homeless but the argument goes that neither will the owner occupier, because they will do everything to repay and the bank will do everything to help them pay to avoid also 'buying' their loss if they foreclose and also have to sell an over mortgaged property to the declining market. edit: I am unclear on the remainder of the mortgage issue if you declare bankruptcy. Maybe the bank has no loss, only admin overhead and insurance paperwork, or maybe they just take you for it regardless of the bankruptcy.

I have a mortgage on one-and-a-bit incomes. We bought 45km out of the city, in one of the cheapest suburbs in WA. I think it's the 3rd most disadvantaged suburb south of the river. It's the kind of place where the push all the state housing so it doesn't mess with anyone's investment portfolio. But we have a toddler, a baby on the way, 2 dogs and a cat, so renting would be out of the question here, where the regs overwhelmingly favour landlords. So, while my mortgage is comparatively small, and our combined income is something like 140k, which is around the median; we have tonnes of discretionary debt from years past when I didn't earn a decent wage, when my partner or I had less secure work, and cars died or poo poo needed doing that we simply couldn't just save up for. This is apparently a widespread issue for people my age, and not surprising when you look at wage suppression and poor job security of the post-Howard era. We struggle to afford utilities and internet. Renting would probably be about the same for us, because 4 bedroom houses are rarer and cost a premium, let alone the pet issues. Losing value on the house isn't really an issue for us, because it's already dirt cheap and can't fall that far; but an interest rate rise of >5% would loving bollock us. You can't just look at everyone with a mortgage and just assume they're inherently privileged. You shouldn't look at people wanting to have children or pets in their mid 30s a privileged, unless your'e some kind of sociopathic ideological purist idiot. We all know that housing affordability is a huge huge loving problem, but you can't just gently caress over everyone who moved out to the boonies so they could have some semblance of a family life before they're too old to enjoy it. It would be way less damaging to take away negative gearing and capital gains discount, that make property investment the obvious choice to anyone with 100k to burn, and watch the massively inflated inner suburbs drift back to more affordable rates. Raising interest rates would only serve to knock off the casual investors and punish households, while people like Tophat will shrug and raise their rents, while buying up all the cheap property flooding the market.

G-Spot Run posted:edit: I am unclear on the remainder of the mortgage issue if you declare bankruptcy. Having a flick through the AFSA website on bankruptcy it looks like you spend up to three years bankrupt and if you haven't managed to cover the shortfall in that time, the mortgage is discharged and the bank is stuck with the loss. Reads like the trustee is empowered to sell your house, your car if it's worth above some amount, and garnish your wages to pay off creditors during those three years. Its pretty poo poo. It's very different what I have heard about parts of the US where if your mortgage goes under, you just hand the bank the keys and they're stuck with the loss.

I'm not saying interest rates are the correct way more addressing the gently caress you forever sentiment. 140k might not seem like much but you're doing well mate. I don't know what your bit is, but our bit is .6. At 1.6 we make roughly 2/3s what you do at 1.bit and we're much better off than we used to be.

Raising interest rates would only serve to knock off the casual investors and punish households, while people like Tophat will shrug and raise their rents, while buying up all the cheap property flooding the market. The problem I find is that no-one can think outside the box on negative gearing. Removing it altogether would cause an almighty crash on house prices which would be devastating for the economy, leaving it in place will continue to have house prices rise. So how about; no negative gearing allowed on future purchases with the benefits tapering off over a 10 year period for existing negatively geared properties. This allows for a more gradual entry to market for those that would suffer under changed negative gearing rules, but also allow first-home buyers to compete on a more even field in the new build sector. Personally I’d rather negative gearing stayed in play so the government can continue to pay off the capital on my property!
