IT CAAAAAAAAME FROM DOMAAAAAAAAIN https://www.domain.com.au/news/why-young-sydneysiders-are-starting-businesses-rather-than-trying-to-buy-homes-20170520-gw8pso/ The national debate about millennials and their money may have been reduced to a brunch dish, but many young people are becoming more interested in how to grow wealth, rather than talking about how it’s spent. Smashed avocado aside, without gifts or inheritance there are limited ways people can grow the wealth required to buy Sydney property in 2017. Interest rates are at historic lows and wage growth has flatlined. Launching a business, although high risk, is one way money experts say it’s possible to turn a small amount of savings into something more substantial. A growing number of millennials have turned to entrepreneurship in a shaky job market, but against the backdrop of rocketing house prices, many see business and property as a fork in the financial road. CAN'T INVEST IN HOUSES, BEST START A BUSINESS

IT CAAAAAAAME FROM DOMAAAAAAAAIN...'s owners opinion pages http://www.smh.com.au/business/motley-fool/what-if-property-isnt-as-expensive-as-we-think-20170522-gwar4o.html What if property isn’t as expensive as we think? Put down those smashed avocados and grab your pitchforks. Warm up the tar and gather the feathers. I'm about to suggest something that may well see me banned from inner-city cafes for life. What if housing really isn't as expensive as it seems? What? Are you mad? Haven't you seen the record prices? The mortgage stress? Another bloody Baby Boomer telling us to stop eating out and save our money? Before I get started, then, a disclaimer: I'm not a Boomer. I'm Gen X (remember us?). And I have a mortgage, and kids who'll someday need to buy their own places. And I'm not going to suggest property is cheap, or even that it's worth buying. But it occurred to me recently that, looked at logically, it just might not be as expensive as you think. It then goes on about how interest rates being low means property is cheaper compared to when it was cheaper for the block but interest rates were high. This is based on no math but a quote from Warren Buffett. Here is said genius, an investment spruiker: http://www.fool.com.au/author/scottphillips/

Franklin told Fairfax Media that he stood by the point he was seeking to illustrate in the essay, which he said he had first posted in draft form and updated progressively over the evening. "The whole piece was an attack on terrorism. It is absurd to suggest that in the third-last paragraph I would advocate a terrorist act." He said he was making a rhetorical point about the absurdity of a suggestion by one of the panelists on Monday night's program that accidents involving refrigerators kill more people than terrorism, and what he saw as the ongoing refusal of ABC commentators to acknowledge the true causes of terrorism. "Our lives and the way we live are being constricted, we live in fear and the causes are being obfuscated," he said.

Quadrant magazine today “unreservedly apologised” to ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie for an online article that suggested it would have been better off if the Manchester terrorist had bombed the public broadcaster’s Sydney headquarters. The magazine’s editor in chief, Keith Windschuttle, responded to Ms Guthrie late today in a letter agreeing the “intemperate wording” in the article was a “serious error of judgment and should not have been published”. The article will be withdraw from the magazine’s website, he said. “Even though I do not share all of the interpretations expressed in your letter, I accept your assurance about the offence it caused you and your staff. You have my unreserved apology for any concerns it might have given you,” Mr Windschuttle wrote. Earlier, Communications Minister Mitch Fifield blasted Quadrant for its “sick and unhinged” comments about the ABC after contained in the article. Lawyers must have called them in a cold sweat

So in the last few days Margaret Court kicked off a storm over gay marriage and otherwise gay relationships, unsurprising as she's been an outspoken homophobe for decades. This has lead to simultaneous accusations of bullying and oppression by people shouting down her views, and others calling for Margaret Court Arena to be renamed given that such a vitriolic person - despite being the most Grand Slam winning tennis player of all time - is not who we'd consider a banner holder for Australian sport. Samantha Stosur believes renaming is out of the questions but the protest can be players refusing to play on the court. https://www.theguardian.com/austral...rriage-comments https://twitter.com/caseydellacqua/status/867855363760107522 Well some others have done some background checking and found this. https://twitter.com/mavisgrizzltits/status/868443074480885766 You can defend, albeit weakly, anti-same sex marriage on fundamentalist Christian grounds. You can not defend calling for apartheid to spread because it's so great. How the gently caress has this been overlooked for so long?

She's saying that when South Africa refused entry to Arthur Ashe, who stands out as being the only black player in tennis history to win Wimbledon or the US Open or the Australian Open. So yeah refusing entry to a black man, one of the top players of his time, in her own sport is part of "the racial situation rather better organised". It was indefensible then, it's indefensible now.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Why was her opinion given a huge amount of publicity anyway? Cynical or actual answers welcome. She attacked other tennis players so it was a sport story plus she is one of the two namesakes of Australian Open tennis alongside Rod Laver. She won 24 grand slam singles titles. The other tennis players responded in kind and it escalated from there. It shoyld be noted Margaret Court has been a known homophobe for decades, and would attack Martina Navritolova as in essence an abomination. Posting about that story seemed redundant which is why i didn't bother. It's the apartheid stuff that got to me as even in tennis circles Court gets defended as yes we know shes an insane Christian which is why we try to not give her a microphone, but that can be put to age and religion. This stuff was contemporary and clear racism with white supremacy weaved in.

As a side note the reason Court's specific homophobia stands out is that lesbians in tennis have been open, and comparatively common, for decades. Tennis always stood out from other sports by always having the men and women playing at the same time and given the save coverage, and alongside it gave a lot of voice to being inclusionary (specifically on the womens side it must be said, male tennis players who are out are still a huge minority and no one in the top ten let alone top fifty is out - an infamous event from a year ago was player Sergiy Stakhovsky stating that there were no male homoseuxals in tennis but half of the women were so he wouldn't let his daughter play tennis). Previously mentioned legends Martina Navritolova, Billie Jean King and conemporaries Samantha Stosur, Casey Dellacqua are all prominent LGBT tennis players and its widely seen that women in tennis are very LGBT inclusive. So Court not only being homophobic, but an outspoken homophobe in a sport that was pioneering in LGBT acceptance stands out as being "the gently caress?

The ABC is robbing commercial media of revenue by spending taxpayer dollars on Google and partnering with Netflix, the chief executive of Fairfax Media, Greg Hywood, has told parliament. Hywood stepped up his campaign against the ABC using the search engine Google to promote its content and called on the government to take action against the national broadcaster “undercutting the competitiveness” of the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has resuscitated its threat to refuse to support the Turnbull government’s budget measures unless the ABC’s funding is cut. Brian Burston, One Nation’s party whip, said it had received “unfair treatment” from the ABC and the party would reject “all bills associated with the budget” unless the broadcaster’s $1bn a year funding was cut by $600m over four years, according to the Australian. lol
