- Comment on Property investors fear forced sales under negative gearing changes 1 month ago:
Purnell Real Estate principal Nick Purnell, who bought an apartment in Canberra as an investment property in 2020, said people will stop investing in property if negative gearing is abolished.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Investors, with their ability to outbid potential owner-occupiers are a significant component in the current rise in housing prices.
Those rising house prices are DIRECTLY related to the raising rent prices.Negative gearing was implemented to achieve a change in the market, a large thumb on the scale by the government.
Now it’s time to step back and reassess the market and figure out what we need to do to achieve our desired outcomes.Million dollar plus shoe boxes, whole suburbs dominated by short term rentals, people using the 15% equity on their 4 investment property to back a 5th in a giant house of cards gamble are NOT HELPING.

The “City Of Churches” statement, whilst true was actually a deliberate rebranding - as in the early days of the colony, it was colloquially referred to as the “City Of Hotels”, as there were (and remain) a large number of drinking establishments relative to the population.
History is fun!

- Comment on 'Own goal': One Nation mocks Robert Irwin's legal threat to sue over cartoon 5 months ago:
A parody mimics an original work directly.
This is One Nation abusing the copyright exception of “Parody or Satire” to deliberately to stir up controversy for their own gain.
He might not have a legal case, but using a famous persons likeness without their permission is dirty.

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but a Request For Comments is effectively a proposal for how a process should be performed.
Some of them are eventually ratified as internet standards by the IETF.
Plenty of them remain useful as defacto standards even without formal acknowledgement. - Comment on Valve issues DMCA takedown for "Team Fortress: Source 2" 10 months ago:
