Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

The AEC have released a press statement about how long it's taking. Looks like the Daily Telegraph has hit a raw nerve...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

Some of the apartment suburbs are approaching Eastern European Communism density - particularly Zetland and Waterloo. And you're right - they haven't made any additional provision for getting these...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

I don't think so. Postal votes are accepted up to 13 days after the election. There's no good reason to stop counting and leave the country in abeyance for 72 hours. Its ridiculous.

The UK manages...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

Doctors are running a business, but they also take a significant portion of that business from public funding. Your accountant doesn't have a tax return rebate he gets from the government.

See my earlier post.

Another thing worth knowing is that providing your mandatory contributions are met, it doesn't matter who pays them. If you are salary sacrificing money from your salary into...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

It depends on what your contract says. If it is $xk + super then I believe they need to wear the cost. If your contract is $xk package then they can decrease your takehome to accommodate the increase...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

Yes, I agree with this. A single state approach is not going to work. I think it would be a good thing to drive investment away from property in general - it's unproductive, and is essentially a dead...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

yeah, I sort of feel this way as well. Despite the tax benefits, there remains significant risk with negatively geared properties - loss of job being one of the largest ones. Anybody getting into it...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

I'm not averse to an investor tax - it seems like a reasonably sensible way to levy on people who will eventually gain from a property investment and the associated tax benefits, but not be an impost...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

Australians are incredibly reluctant to move banks though. They will sit and bleat about all the charges, fees etc, but as soon as you suggest moving to a low fee/no fee alternative, they look at you...

I'm not going anywhere near them - Though, I'd quite like a small apartment reasonably close to the city that I could AirBnB - but this is getting trickier and trickier as strata committees start...

Re: Bye bye Liberal Government..... will you ever learn.

Herein lies the real problem. So much Australian investment - both personal and institutional - is tied up in real estate that no government wants to be the one that presides over even a moderate...
