Mine was in my mailbox this morning when I checked it, from Ethan. Happy easter!

I received an email from Ethan yesterday, they say they should come in the next 2 weeks.

My take on this is a little different. I agree with the previous posters on a lot of the points, but I want to focus on a year 10 school leaver with minimal skills and relatively low education.* I stand corrected if I am wrong in this post as I don't have stats to back me up, just...

My welfare comment was just to demonstrate that not all of them are deadbeats. Close to 50,000 people in this country are on a methadone program. There is every chance you have dealt with someone in some capacity before I have seen clients from a lot of different occupations...

I did read what I was commenting on. See post 334. Kathryn asked how many people on somersoft use illegal drugs. I deal with these people every day. As I said before, I know some who are property investors and may well be on here. Not sure what you are trying to say with the smoking...

It may surprise you Kathryn but not all addicts are on welfare. I have a number of clients who are managers of reputable companies and a number who are property investors. I do concede that a lot are on welfare, don't have great pasts and unlikely to have great futures. However, my point...

This statement is concerning. There are still properties with compliance issues. Is there any possibility with those 27 Ethan owners and owners from other consortiums will not get paid? If so, what's going to happen then?

Yes thats correct. I accept/understand I'm only missing 1 years payment, I'm just making the point which I believe has been made in the past that you need to be able to cover holding costs in that initial stages before payments kick in. Cheers for the insight into Kevin Andrews. I don't...

Had some activity from Ethan today DSS are going to begin processing payments, so we should get the certificates in 4-6 weeks.* Add to that the time the accountant needs to do his thing, and the turnaround time from the ATO, means we should get the cash in mid April.* So about 8 months...

Yes to all of them, and to DTs comments about servicibility and pricing. It took 18 months to go from land settlement to tenanted, which was a a lot longer than I was expecting, I was told we would be up and running in about 9 months. The holding costs during construction were much higher...

Last year (2012-2013) we were paid the Federal in the 1st week in October 2013, and the state came about mid November 2013

February 8 and still no cash. What a joke https://www.dss.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/02_2015/letter_to_approved_participants_regarding_payment_processing_and_issuing_of_rto_certificates_2.pdf 102 participants 95 say they are ready 92 were assessed, and 81 have problems Does...

I voted for clemency for these 2 Plenty of people have done dumb things at 21 and gone on to make meaningful contributions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Coutts-Trotter However, I would not be against the death penalty for some people, namely Renee Lau's, Jill Meagher's, Sarah...

What are everyone's thoughts? Both sides have ran fairly negative campaigns, the liberals focusing on the CFMEU links to Dan Andrews, the return of cage fighting etc etc, and Labors ads with the gloomy music - the GP tax, cuts to Tafe, ambulance waiting times with the Liberals you are on your...

Will calling them and giving them a spray get it paid faster though? If they have a new boss who wants things done a certain way there is not much the call centre people can do about it. I'm with Ethan properties, they have suggested going through the local member of parliament. I agree...
