    let's keep in mind Abbott was given delusional information by the previous government and treasury in relation to economic and budget forecasting. why was that?

    Where to for Tony ?

    You think? What's the ROI for Norway's fund? As for Australia, you think our US95B future fund could not be better invested in R&D and local jobs, rather than foreign companies operating outside Australia and employing non Australians? Our Future Fund is a classic example of government...

    of course they wouldn't care, because they don't understand where taxes come from.

    Ant problem - should I sell??

    Yeah sell it to me. :) Ants are like humans, the colony will decrease in size and go elsewhere with food scarcity. There's heaps of info on the web on how to do that. Something that has worked for me in the past is to establish a food supply and potential new residence a few meters...

    Where to for Tony ?

    Ask the younger generations what the Greens tax policies would do to the cost of (business) credit, foreign investment, and GDP. The appeal of the Greens will be apparent in their answer. Anyway, this is all getting a bit too heady. As long as lenders keep growing housing credit faster than...

    Where to for Tony ?

    well it will only be funded by their toil if youth can get a job....and in this day and age of internationally mobile jobs, I think the Greens would be most successful in raising the youth unemployment rate to a very high historical high. Foreign and locally controlled businesses would be...

    Where to for Tony ?

    Once, just once, I'd love to see the Greens get into power. Let's see Christine Milne balance the budget and reduce the growing debt being imposed on unassuming and lost younger generations. It's amazing how the Greens target themselves at younger generations, and these naives don't get that...

    BA Brisbane - off to a poor start?

    If you think you can do better than a BA, fly up and out offer them! Though what's your plan when your financier's valuer comes back saying the property you offered 415k on, they value at 387k? How many trips to Bris do you want to make before getting it right? BTW, I don't use BA's...

    Made in Australia: The Future of Australian Cities - Anyone read it?

    There's no doubt capital cities will get denser. It's the primary way for our population to grow. As for Perth outgrowing Brisbane, it's certainly on that trend, but the number of women moving there is not as high as men. Interestingly, Victoria and SA have the lowest male:female ratio...

    Brisbane IP in 2014

    Wouldn't it be wiser to compare Banyo to surrounding burbs, esp those closer to cbd, rather than to burbs on the other side of town? For instance, Banyo has - the train, not so camp hill or mt gravatt. - a university within safe walking and cycling distance - off road bicycle access to...

    Online Dating

    from my experience on rsvp, with women over 40yo: - it's like walking into a nightclub. there's all sorts, and you'll have similar values to only a few, depending how conventional you are. As others have said it is a numbers game, and you need filters so as not waste your time, energy, money...

    "closer to advertised price?" try site unseen offers over asking price! the gold rush is on my friends. Nevertheless, MM would impress me more if he clarified where the new jobs are. Personally, I've never seen so many IT, mining, and public servants hitting the unemployment ranks, as I have...

    Britain has an ethnic problem: the English

    I agree with the author of the article. Westerners in general have got all fat, lazy, and arrogant...and feel self discipline, reliable character, and education are something they are born above. Nothing explains the obesity epidemic better. While progressives slag off at anything related to...

    How would you reply to this statement?

    the majority of unsophisticates are visuospatial in thought. it takes a leap in abstractionist thinking to see the world via a spreadsheet. i wouldn't bother educating him, unless he married my sister. in fact, I honestly doubt he'll still be a close friend in 20 years. he's not on the...

    Fired- well that was unexpected.

    as an employer, what proof did you have for strike 3? I see employees all the time trying to blame work for their chronic back pain, when they've had a life time of poor posture, poor diet, poor fitness. Work Cover, being an agency governed by disconnected and naive elites most...

    Fired- well that was unexpected.

    this story just reminds me once again an employee is subservient to an employer...and that there will always be a higher number of employees around than employers...governments and lawyers are not Gods, and will never change human nature.
