Mick. I’m just a pig hunter who only finished grade three. All of that stuff you write is way too complicated for me. I’m not so happy about which party we have in power..... I’m just delighted about about what party we don’t have in power. I cringe at the thought of us being led by labour ....do u remember Julia Gillard .....I have a tip for you to assist you with dealing with the current predicament. When labour wins I cope better knowing that I have to tolerate a labour govt , if I remind myself that there is a ton of stuff I can do better my financial situation and that the way I conduct myself will have a much stronger influence on my success and happiness than who is currently in power..... ie carefull spending, planning. Driving to the speed limit , servicing my Ute every ten thousand kilometres ,smarter marketing and advertising, sensible diet, no smoking , drugs or alcohol, taking my dog for walks and to the dog park every day , making an effort to go hunting as mush as possible .......to hell with sco mo or bill shorten,,,,,I really can make a huge difference to my life all by myself.

Mate I think I do understand what you saying.... but I don't understand what do you think the solution should be.

What can a government do to make houses affordable again where it takes 5 years on a single income to pay off a house.

And don't you (figuratively speaking) think it's rather mean if you don't divide up the numerous investment properties you are fortunate to own among your children..... and I'd you only own the 1 house ... don't you think you have wasted your life and could have done better.

Anyway still plenty of options to find a house for about 250k in Melbourne... with average wage of nearly 80k it is still possible to own a house easily. It might not be a mansion... but I am sure your (and most of us) first house was a basic one...... and that's the problem the media is setting it up as if the expectation should that the first house people get now a days is a 6 bedroom house in an inner suburb.

I agree Z - I’ve got a few cousins buying into the market now.
I’ve (we’ve) told them to go out of town, buy something cheap that’s a little run down, so they can fix it up after work and jump ahead in 5 years - cost should be about 260k...

So what do they do, find out how much they can borrow, go and find the newest, 4 bed, 2 bath marble floor house and buy it for 450k then sit back whining about the repayments - THIS next generation...Grrrr. It’s why there is a huge short fall in tradies down here...”hands dirty ? Are you serious... - pass me my lap top” - many that I engage with have an attitude that the world owes them...
I bought some 2nd hand roofing off a retired 73yr old plumber the other day who was making a $1k a week in cash from selling recovered building products. He asked me if I knew anyone who would take over his little side business as he wanted out...and he had exhausted all his known options...sadly, I couldn’t give him a name either...it’s insane.

Two things people should do,

1. Don't watch TV

2. Never vote major parties,

They weren't always the only major parties, but they have had a bipartisan Monopoly for so long now that they think they're right and are most sanctimonious and self righteous. They need showing that they DON'T have popular support.... People who watch TV tho, literally the worst

Agreed.
I gave up TV around 2000, although I ran a card in my computer for a couple of years so I could watch the motorcycle racing.

Another big killer for Labour was them jumping in bed with the looney Greens that turned a hell of a lot of people off them, also their lefty gender centre and other alphabet rubbish

Certainly this election showed that despite claims to the contrary politicians DO NOT listen to the electorate.

Over many years I have lost count of the numbers of letters to politicians about a range of subjects, the return rate about 1%
never rude, polite at all times.

The only time they are interested is when they want your vote.

The polls also told NSW Premier Barry Unsworth that he would win the election in 1988, he went top the people on
Gun Control. Either the polls asked the wrong questions or those polling lied about the answers, you cannot have it both ways.
applied in 1988 and again in 2019.

Polls didnt take into account the fake Death Tax scare campaign the Liberals pulled off via Facebook.

Arguably more successful than the previous Mediscare campaign.

True.... it allowed then to claw back some support in key seats. But it's obvious that the biggest thing was QLD... and probably the biggest issue there was the adnani mine.

Which brings us back to labour, I think they went into the election with a view they were going to be a shoe-in and thus took to many policies..aka made to many enemies. And as their current leader said, if you don't like labor policies don't vote for them. Looks like many didn't like their policies

Excellent comments Mick.
I would add the recent huge natural gas retail cost increase
Few realise that we Australians effectively do not own that gas, it is the property of both The State and also Eastern Standard Oil [ESSO].
Neither of the above give a rat's arse about ordinary folk trying to stay warm in a Victorian winter.
We are governed by filthy thieving traitors with the blessing of sheeple who are more interested in ritual warfare "footy" and morally perverted reality TV.

:lol: living the dream :sarcasm:

The monotony of life has me wanting to max my credit cards, live in the moment without a thought for tomorrow, get into a high speed pursuit, skip the vehicle servicing, chain smoke a packet of cigarettes, blaze a joint, get a facial tattoo and feed the dog McDonald's. :lol:
