The bubble has been going to burst for something like the last 15 years, I think it's just going to continue as is, and the divide between people who can afford houses and who can't will just keep getting bigger.

It's going to stay pretty flat and go absolutely apeshit when rates are lower because as much as we decry how poor a lot of people are and how poo poo the market is, there are a growing number of people who are absolutely loaded and can continue to play the game.

Professional dinkys, inheritors and Olds that have done several laps of John Howard's wild ride already.

E: there are genuinely a lot of "property ladder" people that buy small places and then upsize from there. There's no shortage of people with the money or borrowing capacity.

It’s just another manifestation of the NWO / WEF / "Globalist Cabal trying to depopulate the world by destroying familes and gender and making everyone eat bugs and live in 15 minute cities" narrative. Whoever is behind it appears to be tapped into that media ecosystem, so I would just refer you back to the Article.

Beyond that, the appeal of cash you can touch as opposed to numbers on a screen is at least somewhat understandable I guess.

Ten wins bombshell bid to reopen defence in Lehrmann case

quote:

Network Ten has won an eleventh-hour bid to reopen its defence in Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation case after raising explosive allegations that the former federal Liberal staffer leaked confidential information to Seven including more than 2300 pages of texts between Brittany Higgins and her ex-boyfriend.

On Tuesday evening Federal Court Justice Michael Lee heard an urgent application by Ten to call fresh evidence in the defamation case from Taylor Auerbach, a former producer on Seven’s Spotlight program, less than 48 hours before the judgment was due to be delivered on Thursday morning..


I await the news that Bruce Lehrmann continues to face no consequences for his crimes.

Guardian AU posted:

Auerbach also alleges in his affidavit that Lehrmann paid for illicit drugs and sex workers after an after-dinner meeting at the Meriton Sydney on 5 January 2023. Auerback claims Lehrmann was reimbursed by Seven through “per diems” via invoice emailed to a Spotlight staff member in the days after his departure from Sydney. He could not provide a copy of the invoice and the allegations have yet to be tested by the court. Auerbach has provided receipts in the affidavit showing eight separate charges for Sensai Thai Massage on 26 November 2022, totalling $10,315.

Other expenses allegedly incurred in the course of securing the exclusive interview with Lehrmann were a $555 meal at the Chophouse Restaurant in Sydney, a round of golf at Barnbougle, Tasmania and related equipment for $401, Randwick accommodation for three weeks totalling $11,738, a meal at Franca restaurant in Sydney for $517, a $450 bill at the Spice Temple, Sydney, a $259 bill at the Bridport Hotel in Tasmania and taxi and flight costs.

Auerbach said Spotlight executive producer Mark Llewellyn had approved the expenses, including flight costs, an extension of the Randwick property and Lehrmann’s alleged request for accommodation with a Jacuzzi.

the website for Sensai Thai Massage (which is in burwood lol not even upmarket) looks like it was whipped up in about 30 seconds on wordpress.

Bruce Lehrmann spent 10 grand to gently caress (lets not kid ourselves it was definitely rape) trafficked women in a lovely rub n tug in burwood.

I skimmed through the most recent ones and Page 376 of exhibit MRS-70 is the Thai massage charges. Not sure if it’s a credit card limit thing or booking after booking or just booked all of them and they charged it separately.

It’s hosed up that Seven is willing to pay for a years rent, expensive meals, trip to tassie, rounds of golf, and sex workers for a rapist. That the executive approving all this had no problems with it, I guess maybe it’s not unusual for them.

It’s funny they googled-translated into Thai how to say “please refund my company credit card and I’ll pay you in cash + $250”.

Bro this is the show that went to gender clinics and demonised the people working there while showing the locations on prime time television. When the host interviewed the sole actual expert on the the topic he opened with calling him an ivory tower elite. The show is loving evil and the people involved are evil.

I wasn’t aware of that - or the show more generally but that’s horrible poo poo.

I guess it’s not surprising that early in one of those docs the fired Seven producer and the Seven executive have a text exchange the day after they aired the Lerhmann interview saying something like “Ten and Maiden aren’t happy and we should clean up before the lawyers call”. The fired Seven producer then states in his affidavit “I took that to mean delete any materials that could make Seven look bad and I permanently deleted all such items”.

Seven are obviously claiming the allegations are false and haven't been tested. The person testifies Thursday arvo. Basically they are calling bullshit that Bruce never provided documents to Seven and that Bruce was never paid for his interview beyond reasonable travel/accommodation.
