    Cotton-wool parenting

    I agree that if the kid was naughty she should do the emu parade but I believe she should have had gloves. In many schools the cleaners have to check the grounds each morning for syringes and drug waste, gloves are now used in many, many places where they were never used before.

    Future party leader

    Scott Morrison for me with Julie as his deputy. He has the speaking skills that Abbott lacks and is prepared to tackle the hard jobs but takes the time to explain in common language why it needs to be done. Julie is there because she is the best foreign minister I have seen. Good team...

    Anyone remember the days before the property boom?

    Should the interest rate direction reverse because of inflation, we will all get to see what it was like in 1990. We were paying 17.5% interest on our housing loan. It is the people that came along after that time, those that have only ever seen interest rates fall that have really...

    Do these dwarf pines need to go?

    Got to go ! Too close to the house, any gaps in the foundations will allow tiny roots to go in and then 10 years from now you have a crack in the foundations :(

    Buying small volume USA shares from Australia?

    Nick Radge over at "The Chartist" has a USA trading method and clients who speculate in the USA. Have a look around here, they are quite helpful people, they will try to sell you something but are genuine. https://www.thechartist.com.au/Shares-Stocks/how-to-buy-stocks.html

    critique my business idea: alcohol

    Be very careful on the limits and frequency of this, the excise guys don't muck around !! Investigate the legal stuff first, read the penalties twice :)

    Caravan investment?

    Hi Nathan, You are already way ahead of your peers, just thinking about it is the biggest step :) If I was starting now I would look for something near home that I could do a gradual reno between tenants over a few years. You are a mechanic so it would seem you are a hands on sort of guy, so...

    Apparently I'm considered "Rich" or "Loaded"...

    Hi Beachy, To be honest, if my PM said something like that to me I would leave, that is so unprofessional ! She will have that attitude in mind when she talks to tenants and tradies "Oh, you need a week to pay your rent, that is OK, ( the owner is rich)" "The handyman says $200 for an hours...

    Body Corporate woes...

    Very common by law even if on your own patio/verandah, to put it on common property is a definite breach of our BC rules.

    Which Colors To Paint House?

    I think you need more than a coat of paint to get it to look like that mate ! Colours are fine, just needs some cosmetic work first :)

    How do you get someone to turn up at Court..

    Given the history of the case I would suggest the chased legal person would be very keen to take all the legal steps to ensure the case was decided against the chaser. The only questions would be are they capable and what will they charge to get their revenge ? I would also prefer that my wife...

    Make Offer on Business Opportunity

    Dealing with kids all the time you are liable to be sued any time in the next 30 years ! I would want a good buy to even contemplate this type of business and this is definitely NOT a good deal IMO The rent is waaaay too much for a business doing those dollars. I agree with the others...

    Where can l put money to save ?

    After reading this, have you considered having an account where all your income is deposited, maybe a mortgage offset account. If you don't have a mortgage offset then open an account at a different institution, arrange a DD then put this card in a cup of water and leave in freezer. Link this...

    Day Trading

    I used to have Metastock and then switched to Amibroker then stopped trading just before the GFC. I found that there were forums for both, just Google, and people were always willing to share their knowledge as long as you had "tried yourself" to create your search. If you explain what you are...

    Any campers, travellers, 4wders on board?

    I have always only had a sedan, I am running out of places to go on sealed roads so I will have to buy a 4wd next :) We have stopped saying "been there" so that friends will talk about their travels, no one likes a "topper" :) I am thinking of having an "island year" been to Tassie twice...
