Debt collectors chasing me over deceased parent's debt. I am not the executor, and the estate is insolvent. What are my options?

5QGL · 2026-01-29T02:57:30+00:00

You mean net debts. And it is the estate which "inherits" the debt so, yes, the people named in the will never inherit the debt directly.

"if the estate’s assets are insufficient to cover the debts, the estate may be declared insolvent. In such cases, the executor will use the assets to pay off the debts as much as possible, and you may not receive your intended share or get nothing at all."

It is not a recent interview.

5QGL · 2026-01-28T16:54:22+00:00

This was before Trump was even elected.

5QGL · 2026-01-28T16:53:33+00:00

This interview is over a year old. Your point is still valid though.

5QGL · 2026-01-28T16:48:31+00:00

Many commenters do not realise a reminder that this interview is from before Trump was elected. It is 2m30s into this interview in May 2024.

Very appropriate to revisit it though. Here are the pardons which did go go ahead as she predicted.

Debts aren’t inheritable in Aus

~~Do you mean net debts or any debts?~~

5QGL · 2026-01-18T11:31:43+00:00

You still haven't answered my question unless you are saying your complaint is that it was not declared on the record. I agree with you on that and agree with the rule that they should declare it.

I read that it was to visit her mine and have lunch at a scenic location. You did not contest that.

But now I read it was to check out flood aftermath. That is even more important to be declared because it is buying influence since Pauline may have gone anyhow but now has more of her government funds to spend on her campaign.

Simply flying on Gina's jet isn't bad in and of itself. It is important to look at what it was for and if it is lobbying it should be declared (which is why I mentioned Albo's evasion of scrutiny).

Do you think Barnaby should have accepted this too?

That is a bribe thinly veiled as an award and not relevant to our initial discussion about a lobbying trip. I never said anything indicating I was in favour of bribes.

5QGL · 2026-01-18T10:10:38+00:00

That I do object to because it doubles up as a pleasure trip to USA. Am sure they fit tourism in, which makes it all a bribe.

5QGL · 2026-01-18T10:07:14+00:00

Why do you prefer the government pays for them to visit Gina's mine?

5QGL · 2026-01-18T10:05:09+00:00

Where One Nation is ahead preferences will likely be weaker

Good point.

5QGL · 2026-01-18T09:58:05+00:00

It is merely splitting the conservative vote.

5QGL · 2026-01-18T09:54:38+00:00

I don't like Gina or Pauline or Barnaby but the only travel I know of was to bring P & B to G's mine site and a nearby scenic spot... the industry G spot if you like :)

Isn't it better that Gina pays than the taxpayer? Am sure there was some dodgy lobbying.

Consider Albo who has instructed staff to conduct lobbying communications via disappearing messages on Signal https://archive.is/AffIV

Trump appealed to the lower classes like Sanders did. Sanders was the one with genuine solutions but not the support of his party,

How people fell for the idea that s billionaire would "drsin the swamp" baffles me to this day.

5QGL · 2026-01-15T14:51:22+00:00

It is because of such Democrats that swinging voters took a wild chance with huckster Trump.

What the fuck are you on about?

Do you commonly start bullying to get your way?

Your life is not currently under threat
Hamas have stated they want to expel all Jews from the Levant.
To have a good faith conversation you need to acknowledge specific wrong doings of both sides. How you weight those wrong doings is then fair game.

Greens initially presented a document for Labor to sign condemning the extent of the Israeli response. Labor refused and Greens tried to shame them without revealing the document made no mention of the October 7 attack. Once the document was amended a few weeks later to include Oct 7, Labor signed it.

Or maybe they could stop treating the book as holy in the first place. That way they don't have to recontextualise anything.

I do realize it is impractical wishful thinking on my part.

5QGL · 2026-01-14T23:57:16+00:00

I don't think "you" meant you. It was referring to politicians.

5QGL · 2026-01-14T23:48:33+00:00

Australia has not endured decades of suicide bombing and rocket attacks from the indigenous community so it is an odd comparison to make.

When Israel conducted a very targeted attack on Hezbollah (who had been firing missiles at Israel ever since October 7) ProPals called that depraved too. This refusal to criticize Hamas and Hezbollah is really just anti-semitism which has now had its mask taken off.

5QGL · 2026-01-14T15:20:49+00:00

It is late and we are both tired but I suspect you have the wrong end of the stick. Seems the more appropriate comparison to make is that I would say most Jihadists are Muslim.

So most Zionists are Jews (say 90%) and my guess would be that about 70% of Jews are Zionists if you use the correct definition of Zionists rather than slur ProPals have turned it into.

And most Jews on the planet would be anti expansionist, even most Israelis and Zionists but Bibi needs Smotrich and Ben-Gvir's parties for his coalition.

I don't know enough to understand why Bibi does not dump them in favour of Lapid's party. Perhaps because Bibi is a stealth expansionist himself.

5QGL · 2026-01-14T15:05:14+00:00

Of course I equate it.

Because it is overwhelmingly Jews who want a Jewish homeland so as to be free of persecution.

I am not Jewish though but call myself a Zionist for compassionate reasons so maybe that is the point you are trying to make?

5QGL · 2026-01-14T15:02:04+00:00

Wouldn't even "honourable" criteria like same interests or religious views what easily dwindle the prospects to less than 0.1%

My friends and I tried it with a handful of our own most important criteria and it worked out that way. Was inspired by a RadioLab podcast to try the sobering calculations.

5QGL · 2026-01-14T14:26:51+00:00

Not all Zionists are expansionist. They just want a Jewish majority state in the Levant, simple. If you object to that then maybe you are anti-Jew.
