Do you think LNP voters get confused when O'Dwyer says unions want to take us back to 1970, but that's her party's whole platform?

The boom time is over and we're now officially experiencing the "house price fall we had to have", according to Deloitte Access Economics's latest business outlook.

It has found what many had been predicting: prices are dipping as interest rates are rising, with our biggest cities feeling the winds of change most keenly.

"Our house prices here in Australia had streaked past anything sensible by way of valuation," said Deloitte partner Chris Richardson.

"Now, finally gravity has caught up with that stupidity and prices are falling.

"In Sydney and Melbourne, housing prices are falling by over $1,000 a week."

Australian Liberty Party - ALP.

Hurf about "freedom" and "Aussie values" with a stock photo of a 'typical Aussie family' (bonus points if white) in a backyard with a hill's hoist, playing cricket with the kids, and 'dad with the BBQ'. You'll make the votes rain.

I wanted to start a party like that. It’d be for free speech, high density living, nuclear power and fast Internet. I gave those ideas up ages ago though, it was just a product of culture shock.

BRISBANE letterboxes have been flooded with nearly 10 million ratepayer-funded brochures and pamphlets featuring Lord Mayor Graham Quirk’s face, new figures reveal.

The revelation comes amid new figures that show Brisbane City Council’s television advertising budget surged by more than 1000 per cent in just 12 months.

The Labor Opposition has slammed the expenditure as a blatant misuse of public funds to promote the Lord Mayor’s re-election campaign.

In total, the council spent $590,406 on television advertising in 2017-18, up from just over $50,000 the previous year.

More than $251,000 has already been spent on television ads this financial year.

Meanwhile, more than 9.5 million pamphlets and brochures featuring a photo of Cr Quirk were distributed to Brisbane homes in 2017-18.

This included 5.96 million Living in Brisbane newsletters.

Council Opposition Leader Peter Cumming said the LNP administration were neglecting basic services, like the reconstruction of footpaths, to fund the ads.

“You don’t see (Prime Minister) Scott Morrison or (Premier) Annastacia Palaszczuk spending money on TV advertising and sending 9.5 million brochures a year in Brisbane,” he said.

“They are bound by strict rules Cr Quirk refuses to adopt.

“Brisbane residents will be disgusted to learn the ratepayer-funded TV advertising bill has increased a whopping 12 times in a year so Cr Quirk can appear on prime-time TV.”

One of the more expensive advertising blitzes was the council’s “Growing Your Brisbane Lifestyle” campaign, which included $251,757 in television advertising and $91,544 in mailout ads.

More recently, Cr Quirk came under fire for appear in ratepayer-funded television ads spruiking the council’s planning reforms.

A spokeswoman for Cr Quirk defended the council’s advertising expenditure as a “critical way” to provide information to residents.

“Advertising activities for the entire Council organisation represent much less than one per cent of the overall budget,” she said.

It’s too late. I’ve been informed by several Americans that socialized medicine means Australia is Communist.
Unions are also Communist.

Still on the main list of stories for me.

quote:

The Australian Industry Group said the rallies would disrupt business and leave employees out of pocket, and called on all sides of politics to reject "the ACTU's self-interested campaign".

"The rallies are aimed at convincing the Labor Party to commit to making sweeping changes to the Fair Work Act if elected, to give the unions a lot more power," the group's chief executive, Innes Willox, said.

"Senior union leaders have expressed the view that they see no problem in breaking laws that they do not agree with. This strikes at the heart of our democracy and the rule of law.

"Given this attitude of union leaders, it would be reckless to give unions even more power over the economy."

That was before I started caring about refugees and drug laws. I also wanted restrictions on Tasers, MACE, and handguns loosened. I was, like the band says, a real American Idiot. A few years here cured me of all that, though I still support fast internet, urban density, nuclear power and no Internet filter/videogame censorship. I’m still mad about Shadow Warrior 2 not making it here.

Speaking of American ideas:
