Schlesische posted:K, so what I learned is that there's a bunch of poo poo going down inside VicLabor and that part of it is parachuting Jane Garrett in to that new seat. Don’t know how she’s still in the ALP. Attempted union busting with the firefighters union and undermining Andrews at every possible occasion. For a former rising star, she’s well and truly on the shitheap.

Sparticle posted:The ALP's most popular tax plan is to not support the LNP's corporate tax cut for large companies. The average Australian voter can be convinced that a huge fuckoff mine will create jobs but trying to sell corporate tax cuts as job creation is not as easy. The Liberals were also dumb enough to admit that they were copying Trump. On Insiders this morning, some Fin Review hack was saying that 49% of people polled support corporate tax cuts. That 49% might think by cutting tax rates they’ll get a wage increase? Surely half the average punters on the street don’t think that the money saved by corporate tax rate cuts will end up in their pockets as a wage increase? loving Australians.

Starshark posted:He probably meant to say 'among Coalition voters'. The only survey I've been able to find puts it at 15% if I've read it right. Hahahaha, of loving course he omitted that! Thanks for the critical analysis that I’m clearly lacking, Starshark.

Don Dongington posted:FTTC is a pretty huge leap forward from FTTN though. It actually has an upgrade path to gigabit, once they switch the last run from VDSL to g.fast, and it's a lot cheaper to then upgrade to fibre to the home if you need it. At present, it'll cost you upwards of $16k to go from FFTN to FTTH. FTTC to FTTH should be about 1/8th the cost. Thanks so much for the effort post. Usually I start trying to learn about NBN and fall asleep by the time RSPs/CVCs are mentioned, but this was super helpful and clear.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:It’s ridiculous to force owners to upgrade their properties to meet retrospective energy efficiency standards, the cost would be prohibitive in many of the older paper thin houses in inner Canberra, either further reducing the supply of free standing housing available in the rental market, or, most definitely increase rents. Rental investment is indeed a business, however not a charity, owners would be forced to make tough business decisions to assess the viability of their investment. With skyrocketing land tax and the costs associated with retrofitting an old shonky house without the prospect of increasing rents to offset the expenses most business owners would make the decision that it was no longer a wise investment. Rental stock would dwindle forcing rent up, renters to live in apartments or on the city’s fringes where newer houses have better energy efficiency. We live in one of these paper thin houses, where the temperature inside is the same as it is outside! But it would be inconceivable to waste money trying to improve this house that was so poorly designed from the beginning. But we wanted to live in a house, in this area, and we had to start somewhere. We prioritised saving over holidays, eating out and shopping, and finally got our foot in the door in this delightful house. We can’t afford everything we want at once, we will make do in this house, freeze and boil through another few Canberra seasons until we can afford to do something about it. Why should renters be any different, they can’t have their cake and eat it too. Save, buy, or accept some of the negatives that come with renting. The fact is landlords aren’t evil rich corporations and we actually need them to provide houses for people to live in. Guillotine. Alternatively, sell your slum you fuckin' slumlord.

hiddenmovement posted:This was exactly what an elderly friend of mine had to endure at a place near fawkner cemetery. A Frankfurt on white bread and a party pie was dinner. I’ve been to that place for work. It’s hosed. Old owners sold it and made a tidy sum, new owners want to put more units in (there’s no room for more units) and have cut services (like fire protection and security monitoring).
