You should be able to get a ten year lease and make minor alterations to the property, but cats loving stink, scratch poo poo and make noise and they're not allowed near my property.

Zenithe posted:This is pretty reasonable in QLD, they have to give seven days notice and there has to be a fair time between inspections. Is it different in other states? That's the same in Melbourne. Inspections should be on set dates and given to you at the start of lease. It's bullshit because sometimes you don't check your mail or whatever and are like oh a stranger is coming inside my house in two days, neat.

Lid posted:Liberal senator Eric Abetz has dramatically intervened in the penalty rates debate, calling for workers' existing rates to be protected, and creating a fresh political headache for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. I mean I didn't expect this to come from a dude like Abetz, but his proposal allows a business to dismiss casuals and get new ones that don't have the protected rate. Considering that casuals are the real losers through anything like this, it's a bit of a "but see I'm a nice guy" play.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:I can't remember where I heard it, but apparently West Virginia has like way more nurses employed now than coal mining did at its height. The idea that it's economic pain being directed in the wrong direction is complete poo poo. There's going to be far more economic problems for West Virginia from Trump loving healthcare than would ever be solved through resuming coal mining at its peak levels. It's just white nostalgia. I get the argument but I don't know what the change in population is there. You still need ground floor, no education work and that's sorely lacking right now. Only going to get worse as ground floor, some education work gets technologied to death.

iajanus posted:Can they define a holiday home as having to be in a different state, for a start? At least that should stop people claiming it for their local investment properties. That's a ludicrous suggestion. No state is ever going to want to support people buying holiday homes interstate, nor should it be forced on people that want to buy a beach shack.

Tokamak posted:If you own a holiday home, then you should be in a position to be able to afford the taxes on it, tbh. What if you aren't in that position? You just have to sell it to someone that can afford the taxes because they have more money than you. open24hours posted:Do beach shacks even exist anymore? I thought they were all bought up and renovated decades ago. There are plenty of places outside Portsea, Torquay or whatever that are cheap and cheerful. If you go 500m back from the beach, you're in shack town. e: there are also plenty of beachside small towns that don't have fancy pubs and development around that are still economically priced due to being unpopular or not near a brand name beach. They're drying up though.

Tokamak posted:I Imagine any vacancy tax would be based on something like property value, or council rates. So if you get a beach shack that isn't worth much, then you won't be paying much on it. If you can't afford it then maybe you should sell it. If there aren't enough eager rich people around to buy them, then I imagine property valuations would fall to a level that could support them. Cheaper shacks for the people who can barely afford them sounds like a win to me. If it is still too much for them, then they can just go to a lodge/caravan park like the rest of us plebs. You take a holiday using your leave whenever you like without worrying about peaks and also buy a reasonably priced investment with your disposable income. That's the attraction. The people that can afford a 100k shack but not the taxes are going to be people that have already paid off the home. Even if you introduced a moderate (by Aus standards) of 5-10% tax that's still $5-10k a year you need to dig up. That is real money. The demand for homes in holiday areas isn't for workers or whatever in any case. Few people live there and the people buying property are going to holiday there which is how those small economies tick over. Holiday homes are seriously the least concern when it comes to housing availability and affordability unless you run a surf shop. e: tax the gently caress out of and punish with metal baton anyone that abuses access to tenancy and a home near major centres of employment though.

Honestly the sad thing about this is that working class people no longer have the security of employment or moderate disposable income to invest any money in their future or recreation. It's disgraceful. Double E post:

Konomex posted:Welp. It's happening. All the menial labour jobs are going to be replaced. You'll need a considerable amount of education to get a job in the future. Which means poor people, who can't afford TAFE courses, and won't have the requisite skills to get into university (as their poor parents can't help them and the school system is fairly bad at value adding these skills to children) will remain unemployed forever. How can you apply for several jobs a week if there are none. Fully automated luxury communism is the answer, but everyone will just end up dead instead. Utopian future. Only 500 million humans on earth or something. All ecological disasters averted. Thanks oligarchical capitalism!

Tokamak posted:You do know that this vacancy tax only cover's Melbourne's inner and middle suburbs? If you have a holiday home in the city, then tough poo poo, you can afford the tax. I don't even know why there is an exemption for them in the first place. The $100k beach shack in Melbourne is a purely hypothetical example. If it applied to a small coastal towns, then yeah it'd suck. I responded to a poster who was specifically talking holiday homes as an extension of this.
