We can't all have high paying jobs. Society simply doesn't work that way... Economics 101...

Must have been the subject Joe Hockey missed while he was busy protesting against uni fee increases

Granted and this is why we can't all be home owners

So what happens when these people that cant afford a house retire? They can't save enough to rent for the rest of their life on the pension....

You can't claim there is not a serious issue with housing affordability... it now costs a solid 10 times the median wage to get an average house... when our parents bought houses it was closer to 3

I'm not saying I have the solution, and neither do the ALP, but saying people should just earn more money as if that is something that is accessable to anyone and everyone was just stupid... especially when it came from someone that already had the public well offside and is perceived as being out of touch.

It also doesn't bode well to make comments regarding housing affordability that ostracise the poor when your own...sorry... "your wife's" mortgage is paid by the tax payer as "accommodation expenses"

Even more so when you had freshly called mothers claiming a far smaller amount "double dippers" whose activity (despite being specifically allowed) is "tantamount to fraud"

Does it really? From what I see is people over reaching because Dezz house wouldn't have cost that mine sure as heck didn't sure we don't live in blue chip suburbs but it's called compromise. So don't gimme that crap plenty of places to buy a house for $400k and a damn good one at that. Heck $600k will get you one of the best homes on the market!

So yes it is a problem however I think expectations have a lot to do with it.

400k is still ~7.5 times the median wage.

Shit is simply a LOT more expensive now.

The house I'm sitting in right now (mums) was bought for ~$40k in 1975 at ~5 times the average wage and is now worth $1m which is ~13.5 times the average wage.

well for starters not many singles buy property that's a reality and has been for last couple decades. Secondly when your mum bought I bet she didn't think it was 'cheap' or 'easy'

amen dezzmang.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
