Will be bad for SMSF investment prop owing baby boomers, the rest will be fine as they already own houses. It doesn't actually matter what your house is worth if it's owner occupied and you can afford the payments on an amortizing loan.

Negative gearing will get rolled back soon and slow it down over time. It's just a matter of working out how to do it without losing votes. I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet to be honest as it's a pretty strange scheme to begin with

Prices are unlikely to have a massive crash under any scenario IMHO.

as opposed to elsewhere in the world eg USA...where your home loan is tax deducatble 100%

but not investment properties, so everyone owes 100% on house and pays off others

compared to paying off living in house whilst owing money on investment property

Lol @ the handsomely paid Flogmatron taking jabs at the 'rich people' - give me a spell brah

Might as well have rabidly attacked the right given his only bright idea is to scrap negative gearing

He's strangely silent on:

-green / Left influence over planning decisions eg. opposing roads to make living in outer suburban homes more convenient, density in inner suburban areas

-abolishing stamp duty

-inflated wages and disruptive industrial action in the construction sector (great for dezz, shit for everyone else)

-high levels of immigration

-flogs with a taste for champagne but a budget for VB

You do realise we don't get paid when we strike yes?

Yes. I also realise that shit doesn't get built when you are on strike

:O

Surely that would be an inconvenience!? I'll let the union know that we're disturbing the order of things, and see if we can come up with a more reasonable approach

Well We could just get other skilled migrants or non unionized folk to come and finish the job

Oh wait.. Oh nope Union won't allow that

We could do the same in your industry, I'd think you'd be selling the Lexus pretty quickly when your industry is flooded with migrants willing to work for $10 an hour..... Only until they realize they're not living in Thailand anymore, and a bottle of water isn't 20 cents it's $4.50.

But it's already like that for us, thankfully people see the value in using me and my company over them most of the time as our results are better but real estate is completely deregulated so your point has no basis at all. I could sell your house for $5 or $15k nobody will stop me if I'm willing to work for it and your willing to pay it that's what it is.

We actually have a rate set by the market - they choose to pay it as opposed to the thuggery tactics unions use to impose their will.

Lexus cash brah s'all good

But I see where you're coming from.. Why should the guys building these state of the art billion dollar projects get paid a decent wage when the multi national building companies could make an even bigger profit.

Do you mean the companies providing all of the capital and taking on all of the resultant risk?

I know you like to think/believe that you have some idea of what you're talking about here..

I work for an electrical contractor, who choose a price they want to charge for the work I, and the rest of their workforce provides. They then quote jobs based on this price.

What we as the workers get paid is not the same or even close to what they charge for us, and if you think that us taking a pay cut would reuslt in that saving being passed onto the builders, you're dumber than I thought.

Ric pls, you think our company doesn't wear the risk for the electrical portion of the job? You think the builder isn't able to fine/charge my company for not meeting deadlines etc?

Truth is you two know very little about the construction industry, but you know how to read newspapers and form an opinion based on the bullshit you read.

At the end of the day, if you believe it's fine for the workers to get paid peanuts so that companies can make even more profit, then go for your lives.

We'll just keep doing what we're doing and getting paid a decent amount to do it, all the while giving few to no f**ks what people like you think of it

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
