I wonder if they are any more reliable for the WA houses given that you have to pay for those. Does anyone know why that is? It's only 30c per sale record though so doesn't break the bank:)

I'm posting on behalf of a friend who is about to buy a PPOR in Perth. He's been asking me for advice and I let him know that standard RE contracts are worded to look after the seller rather than the buyer. He is interested in having his own clauses worded to cover himself so that he's not...

Nah, he just read the coffee lounge thread on doctors and their income, and realised that practising medicine is the true path to wealth! :D

As someone halfway through a post-grad medical degree, I can say that almost every statement that the OP has made is grossly incorrect. I was tempted to provide corrections to his/her very imaginative fantasies ie. the ones that other posters haven't already poked large holes in, but I'm not...

I would suggest your friend contacts an aged care assessment teams (ACAT), of which a social worker is usually a part, whose primary role is to advise and help in situations such as this. In Victoria, it's called ACAS rather than ACAT. http://www.health.vic.gov.au/agedcare/services/assess.htm...

Halloween: The Australian tradition of closing all your blinds at 4 in the afternoon, and ignoring the 3 children in your suburb who watch enough American television to think it exists here.

Just heard that The Chaser are doing commentary to the royal wedding. This is the first thing I've heard that has made me have any interest whatsoever in watching it.

Now category 5 and heading straight for Innisfail. Poor Innisfail, wasn't Larry enough? The scary thing is that the eye alone of Yasi is the same size as the whole of cyclone Larry.:eek:

I used to subscribe to the newsletters from the Stella Awards website, but it became too much, even just the actual confirmed cases. The fact that those sorts of lawsuits aren't thrown out in the first place, and worse, are often awarded significant damages makes me fear for the future of the...

Exactly. The fact that the phrase can be interpreted so ambiguously surely can't be a good thing.

I love Bossy! Even as I was reading the poster's letter I was smiling in anticipation of Bossy's response and she didn't disappoint.:)

Wow, so you think that every one who flys a flag, particularly on a car, is automatically a narrowminded racist. And because of your perceptions, people should not fly flags, because it makes you nervous and fearful. I think not.

Not true. DHA have very different standards depending on the area in which the houses are, and they also vary greatly within the same area. Housing entitlements are based on rank, and even within the same entitlement group there will be big variations within the same suburb. My husband is...

I don't know, "Only in America" these days usually means "Coming Soon to Australia".

I just watched episode 9 of season 4 a couple of days ago. I'm loving season 4 and this episode just made things get very interesting indeed. It looks like the last few episodes of the season are going to be great!
