Good article about the benchmarks that banks have to use to assess how a person's income relates to their lifestyle spending habits and therefore how much they can borrow.

If this comes in, either gradually or all at once it will be the shock that many people have been waiting for in the housing market, because suddenly a whole sector of would-be home owners will drop out of the market.

Bernard Keane has a big cry about mean Twitter fake news:

quote:

Twitter users are always ready to attack the press gallery for its political coverage. A lot of that criticism is justified. But much of the time the criticism is because journalists have reported things that don't fit people's preferred narrative. Say something that fits people's political worldview, and it's all retweets, likes and "nailed it!". Say something that doesn't fit what people want, and they're suddenly radical sceptics, refusing to accept any evidence you offer and parsing every syllable to detect your raging bias. The press gallery, people complain, is a herd of sheep mindlessly going in the same direction. Even if it wasn't manifestly untrue, yesterday's silliness illustrates that the herd mentality is as much ingrained in social media users as in any journalist.

Oh boo hoo Bernard, we aren't professional like you.

The Annerley Taco Bell replaced a Sizzlers, which was a replacement of the old Bonanza steak house. This proves that the recurrent cockroaches-in-food problem is from the site being cursed, not the fault of Sizzlers, and losing Bonanza to a Sizzlers to a Taco Bell is both an excellent premise for an indie Australian film and a wider allegory of the Qld Labor party

It allows for direct communication to people in a position of power. It can put the person who writes the article in direct contact with the person who reads the article. It allows politicians to get direct feedback from people without going through a focus group filter. It allows for instant dissemination of bite size pieces of information.

But no, hurr twittersphere of swjs am i rite

Dont worry I should be signing a contract in the next two weeks or so to trigger the market collapse at my expense.

Yeah but his article has the whole tone of being mad that he can't coopt Twitter and hates having to beg for status on a platform that will never respect him just because he reports from Canberra. Twitter will ignore his narrative and make up its own bullshit which he can't ignore but has no say over it, mob mentality or not. And slowly but surely the clever politicians are utilizing Twitter and cutting out the middleman, which makes him even more mad since all he can then do is report on twitter.

@murpharoo has promised there will be more podcast, indirectly confirming my hunch that she's been avoiding the whole thing for the last few months.

edit: and Keane finishes his dummy spit with:

quote:

We're capable of protecting ourselves better. And if you want something to be true, that's all the more reason to be sceptical of it. But we're not. Wanting to believe something is true is apparently too hard for people to overcome on social media.

This is why I'm done with Twitter. I'll continue to use it to support greyhound adoption and spruik my articles. I might even drop the occasional narky comment. But it's such a vast pool of stupidity and gullibility that interacting with it, or prolonged exposure to it, is toxic. Life is too short.

And nothing of value was lost.

It’s too long to be a thread title but these were the best two sentences from the article

quote:

In a controversial interview with Sky News, the One Nation leader also said she considered herself "Indigenous" because she was born in Australia.

"I've got nothing against the Aboriginals but I'm sick and tired of being made to feel as if I'm a second-class citizen in my own country," she said.

I don't get this world view. People like Pauline feels persecuted by Aboriginals somehow. I have literally never seen an Aboriginal persecuting a white person except, and this is a stupid exception, for calling them a white dawg whilst drunk, and they also called the other Aboriginals black dawgs so it's hardly persecution as it is being very drunk and disorderly.

I'll ask racists how they're being persecuted. Or those idiots who endlessly complain about transgender people forcing their kids to become women to point to one instance of someone actually saying or doing that and they can't. It's some persecution complex driven to insane levels and I just don't get the point.

Someone explain it to me? How does listening to a didgeridoo in Australia make her feel like a second-class citizen? Or is she just upset that she gets told to shut her idiot face when she says racist things?

What others above have said, plus crabs in a bucket mentality is a big part of it, at least where I'm originally from (Perth) - "I didn't get any special treatment, so why should indigenous people/women/whoever get special treatment?" Often heard in relation to boosted ATAR scores, forms that ask if you're ATSI, employment quotas, any kind of "levelling the playing field" measures. Totally lacks self-awareness, but duh. Also misses the distinction between equality and equity.
