Like I'm going to click on a link with Andrew Bolt talking to Rowan Dean that isn't also labelled "murder/suicide".
Yeah watch Bill Shorten's Labor Party vote for this, and then gift us with another 4 years of The Trumbles.
Why would they? They opposed the last lot of uni changes, and opposing the Coalition on education is something they could do in their sleep.

So they've definately learnt their lesson from the disaster that was their attempt at the privatisation of tertiary education?
What does Labor have to gain by agreeing with the Coalition on this? Why would they agree to it this time when they didn't support the previous versions of it?

LABOR is pledging to block a $2.8b funding cut to the higher education sector which will force students to pay off loans earlier and make degrees more expensive. Shadow Education Minister Tanya Plibersek hasn’t ruled out blocking all of the reforms though. Speaking to reporters in Sydney this morning, she said Labor would examine the detail of the Turnbull Government’s proposal to see if there were measures the party would support.
Ms Plibersek rejected suggestions the increased fees were not that large an impost on students.
“Students in Australia are already among the highest contributors to the cost of their own university education, so adding thousands of dollars to the cost of the degree is unfair,” she said. "We also know that those students are repaying back debt at the same time as every other expense is hitting them, they’re starting a family, trying to buy a house. If students do well from their university education, if they become highly paid professionals, they will make a contribution through the tax system on top of repaying their HECS debt, for the rest of their lives.”
Under the planned changes, announced by Education Minister Simon Birmingham last night, students studying a four-year bachelor degree will pay between $2000 and $3600 more over the duration, and all can be deferred on the income-contingent HECS-HELP loan scheme. Students will also have to replay loans earlier once they start earning. The repayment threshold for their loans will kick in at $42,000 from mid-2018 — a substantial drop from the current $55,000 threshold.
The Government will also impose a two- year efficiency dividend on teaching funding. Labor also announced an efficiency dividend of 2 per cent during the Gillard Government, which would have cut $2.3 billion from its spending on higher education to fund the Gonski school reforms.
...
Opposition leader Bill Shorten said the Turnbull Government should be finding money in the budget by not going ahead with corporate tax cuts rather than making university students pay more to go to university. Shadow Education Minister Tanya Plibersek also slammed the proposed efficiency measures. The government should not be “slashing” money from education to repair the budget, Ms Plibersek said.
She also questioned the Deloitte report’s credibility.
“Isn’t it surprising that when the government commissions a company to do a report to justify cuts to university funding and increases to student costs that the report comes out saying we should cut university funding and increase student costs,” she said. Ms Plibersek also laughed off suggestions Labor had promised similar efficiency measures, saying funding for education had nearly doubled to $14 billion under the Rudd and Gillard governments.

Mark Latham posted:DECISION TO JOIN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
Recently I attended the Liberty Conference in Sydney, a wonderful forum supporting freedom of speech and opposing PC, social engineering and cultural Marxism. Debate and ideas flourished, unlike today's Labor Party, which has barred me from speaking at membership events in Western Sydney (via Sussex Street Stalinist Rose Jackson). I support 80-90 percent of the Liberal Democrats platform, pretty good for someone with strong views formed over a long period of time. Plus, as a party of freedom, the Liberal Democrats allow room for dissent and diversity of opinion (Shorten Labor is only interested in diversity of skin colour, gender and sexuality - Safe Schools BS).
So I have joined up and want to play a role in fighting for our national values, based on personal freedom and responsibility.
I will be on The Bolt Report tonight at 7pm talking about this decision, and the wrongness of Dastyari/Shorten Labor. I wouldn't normally be on that channel but Andrew Bolt has been a great champion of freedom of speech, including mine. We trust you, THE PEOPLE, to listen to various views and make up your own mind about political issues!! It's called DEMOCRACY!!

There's an apartment glut in Melbourne and Brisbane that is going to keep getting worse (or better YMMV) as new developments come online. There's no suggestion that it will spill over to houses though.
Sydney is getting a shitload of apartments around Green Square which might have a similar effect in the medium term.

Sure houses are two or three times more expensive than they were in the 90s and lots of people can't even afford a deposit, and sure the increase in house price entirely counters the lower interest rates, and sure the inevitable increase in interest rates would wipe out a a lot of people but, umm, loving milennials right?

Speaking of Latham
Also:
But the group claims it is not white supremacist, as it does not believe whites should rule over other races. Rather, The Dingoes say Australia should be an "ethnostate" in which all citizens are white.
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN PRETEND TO MEAN
Japan and Israel are monoculturial societies therefore we aren't racist in wanting a white ethnostate.

I just smashed Redfern into the rental house website and a 2br rough looking townhouse was $650p/w lmao.
Holy poo poo if you want to live off the street in a tiny apartment they're charging $650p/w... Magnificent.
It's going to be a bit more cyclical than some other areas because of the Uni but that's not unrepresentative of the inner suburbs at all.

I don't know, when the State provides you with a 500 metre bus route, it can't be that bad. How will the good people of Kingsford and Daceyville survive without the 342?
I think that route is outside the region that's affected by the change.
The government will continue to own Region 6 buses and assets, including depots, and set Opal fares and timetables.
Private operators will have to compete and re-apply for contracts every 5 to 10 years. The tender will begin in July 2017 and is expected to be completed by July 2018.
The minister said Sydney Buses will continue to operate three of the state’s 15 regions – 7, 8 and 9 – which includes the inner metropolitan areas of the eastern, and southern and northern suburbs, including the CBD.
Sydney transit regions.
