Feel free to keep doing that. Just maybe use it for a time when you're actually arguing with someone, rather than arguing against your own created argument.

Shut up, you loving idiot. Llama too, you're both as childish in your approaches to confrontation as my 7 year old nephew. He isn't the brightest kid either, but he's great at anything to do with his hands. Too bad neither of you appear to be good with your hands, or else your posting wouldn't be so poo poo.

We do know what the new RBA rate is :monocle:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-02/reserve-bank-cuts-interest-rates/7682170

quote:

Interest rates slashed to fresh record low of 1.5pc by Reserve Bank, CBA passes on half By business reporter Michael Janda Updated 13 minutes ago

The Reserve Bank has cut the official interest rate to a fresh low of just 1.5 per cent, in a desperate effort to stoke price growth. The RBA last cut its overnight cash rate target in May, taking it to 1.75 per cent, following weak consumer price data in the March quarter. ABS June quarter inflation data, out last Wednesday, showed consumer prices rose just 1 per cent over the past year, with the Reserve Bank's preferred measure also well below its 2-3 per cent target. After that release, markets priced the chances of a rate cut as roughly 50-50, but bets had since gone up to a 75 per cent chance of a rate reduction. The odds were similar when looking at economist forecasts, with 20 of 25 surveyed by Bloomberg expecting a rate cut today. Most experts expect today's rate cut to be the last, but about a third of the analysts surveyed by financial comparison website Finder are expecting more cuts, with six out of 41 expecting a trough of 1 per cent or less.

RBA's rate dilemma

The Reserve Bank sets one cash rate for the nation, but it is simply not appropriate for some states, explains Stephen Long. Finder's Graham Cooke said it is important for consumers to re-evaluate their current home loan to make sure their bank is passing on the reduction in full. "If you had a $300,000 mortgage with an average standard variable rate of 4.93 per cent and manage to get the full discount of 0.25 percentage points off your interest rate, this could pocket you almost $50 per month, or a whopping $16,325 over the life of your loan," he observed. Commonwealth Bank passes on half the cut. However, it appears that the major banks will not pass on all of the Reserve Bank's rate cut, with the Commonwealth Bank lowering its standard variable mortgage rate by only 13 basis points. That is roughly half of the Reserve Bank's 25-basis-point official rate cut. CBA's customers will also have to wait more than two weeks to get the benefit of the rate reduction, with it taking effect on Friday, August 19. In some rare good news for savers, however, CBA is passing on a rate increase of at least 50 basis points to new one, two and three-year term deposits.

How to skip the census. Be in transit. The census is collected by household so if you weren't part of a household on the night you aren't counted.

Yes they do fine people and the fines are by the day until you comply. There are very serious fines for false or misleading data (arguably the strategy above is covered by the later). None the less the current arrangements are 100% bullshit and they can go and gently caress themselves.

"Did you know image leeching is against the rules" christ. Aren't you like, 60 years old? Here you are tut tutting over image hosts.

Your line by line rebuttal of an obvious hyperbolic joke is also Classic Cartoon.

I think "furious masturbation of self-styled political pundits" is the most succinct and accurate summation of you anyone will ever make, and for that reason alone the OP should stand.

I was sincere in the last thread when i suggested he get help. The clique exists and back in the day i got a lot of PMs over how i could be upsetting you with speaking without thinking. But while that exists it doesnt mean the response is to rage and slur, strengthening your anger when some part is to work on yourself.
