Laserface posted:What the gently caress? do you live in a studio with a 90min commute to civilization? When I bought my first place in 2009, it was 15 minutes from Perth and I did so on a $55k salary at 80% LVR. Now it's rented out with the rent covering the mortgage and the other expenses. So I'm not sure why people are counting things in 20-30 year horizons because that property sure as poo poo doesn't cost a whole lot to hold on to. And 5 years of mortgage payments are already covered by capital gains (it was valued when buying the next place)

I did that to my tenants once, 2months into a 6 month lease told them to get out. In WA it just requires 67 days notice

Lol, that would be a rogue (or fake) poll if it turns out to be true. They never swing that far, unless there was a scandal involving bob swindler that we didn't notice

Gough Suppressant posted:The no reappointment rule is just more proof that labor offering positions to conservatives is loving idiotic because it never results in reciprocity when the other side wins power. If the coalition is going to be spiteful to the point of cutting off their own nose just appoint enough coalition directors just to poison their best people with possiblity of "left wing bias"

Although after 6 months of it you are meant to be made a full-time on-payroll employee. If they don't do this they are opening themselves up to you taking them to court for back super/holidays for the time you worked for them.

Endman posted:I'm fairly sure the point of the graph is to demonstrate the unsustainability of building so many new residences without the jobs for people to pay for them. It's a little bit simplistic to say that without including the data on the increase in and ageing of the population or number of those builds that are replacing old stock. As people retire those old people still live somewhere and their replacement in the workforce isn't really counted as a "new job" either.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-23/coal-mines-have-buckleys-chance-as-china-cuts-consumption/6341996 Something something coal something something future.... Although I guess this means that local coal prices will fall pretty hard, making it next to impossible to break our economy's dependence on it. If only we had some sort of policy framework to encourage de-carbonisation and development of replacement infrastructure.

The only legit Australian broadcaster is Foxtel. You have to get their Foxtel go thing and the movie package. It's about $30/month right now, but that's a promo price down from $50/month

Yes It adds an extra hop to all of your communications. Potentially more than doubling latency. Edit: for clarity - latency is not bandwidth it is just the time it takes "on the wire" which will not affect your top speed. Unfortunately the bulk of network traffic is not large file transfers so adding 200ms latency to a file that takes 80ms to download will make things slower. norp fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Kat Delacour posted:I'm pretty sure they had a forced migration to @outlook.com - you had to go out of your way to keep a hotmail alias. A new brand of special there. I can't imagine they would never remove the @hotmail alias, just that you wouldn't be able to sign up anymore. The fact that thousands of websites use email address as an unchangeable username makes this equivalent to just turning it off.

Awesome, so anyone with a home loan can avoid this tax with a few clicks in netbank and anyone living paycheck to paycheck has to pay it. Good work guys.

Doctor Spaceman posted:If you're living paycheck to paycheck how much is this actually going to cost you? Yeah sorry, I didn't put a lot of effort into that comparison. What I meant is that someone with an offset account would get charged this on their "deposits" in the offset BUT they generally also have free redraw so it's trivial to move their balance to the other ledger where it won't count as a deposit. What I was getting at was that the only people who have to pay this tax will be those with no net debt on their personal balance sheet. First thing that came to mind was people living hand to mouth, but retirees commonly have large cash balances to avoid risk which would have been the better example.
