Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

I believe it's now more economical for low mileage users, less economical for high mileage users (because they got rid of three tiers and left one blanket rate). I understand there's a bit of a...

Sorry, I meant "where were you" in a literal sense. No disrespect meant to your own skills. I imagine a lot of financial firms had a amajor freak out in the risk department.

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

It sounds strange that any population would be so homogeneous. Sounds like it may be a straw man argument.

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

Interesting. Anyway, I'm not placing any bets either way on what will happen in the short to medium term. We'll see what the government and the industry have up their sleeves.

I'm quite bearish on Australian property myself at the moment. Do you really think these forums or bloggers have that much influence though? While they may account for a few of the thousand cuts that...

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

My mate's in Brisbane by the way. Have a look at who's working in your local convenience store or fast food joint and ask yourself what their conditions are like.

Rob the takings too. It's just common sense. You get the benefit of the cash and it looks like the primary motive was robbery.:D

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

That's a long long way from 3,000 families sleeping rough. I would hope that a family sleeping rough is a serious incident that wouldn't be going un-addressed.

EDIT: Regarding the incident...

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

No irritation, I was just trying to avoid any misinterpretation.

Basically, I'm saying that the baby bonus is a bad policy in my opinion because it incentivises everyone to have children. Removing...

Exactly what I was at labour not to say. ;) I don't in any way hold that view of stay at home mums or dads.

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

I had to look that one up. Didn't you know our presidential palace is called 'Aras an Uachtaran'? It's pronounced similarly.;) I think 'Aras' means place.
