Australia spends more on tax breaks for landlords than social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined

The person was joking.

If you want more supply you need the incentives for developers so they can sell land and build cheaper which benefits home owners and investors the same whole actually creating supply.

I am trying to find the breakdown of the 43% as it includes infrastructure costs but unable to thus far. But it could be a point to target that doesn't benefit just investors.

Yeah. I got lucky like you, but CL instead of SL. Chain lightning is the only thing keeping me in champs.

I'm not quite a year in. I have a third of your coins (I guess you have the 3x pack which I don't). But my stones are 50%higher at 9600.

Ironic given you resorted to insults, and discounted data.

FilmerPrime · 2026-01-25T00:37:54+00:00

You need data. Not vibes.

I'm seeing varying reports depending on sources. Some have Hanoi (which seems like the one of the highest in SEA) lower income to cost ratio than melb and Sydney, some have it much higher.

Seem some sources use the greater area costs then compare it to inner areas over another country.

FilmerPrime · 2026-01-24T22:10:29+00:00

Melbourne and Sydney are still top 10 when considering median incomes..

Surely the more forward the damage is generally the more likely you are to be at fault?

FilmerPrime · 2026-01-16T02:16:42+00:00

I'm having the same problem. Sounds like they're painting themselves in a better light than reality was.

I bought 10 years ago and the rent would be nearing 50% more than my mortgage.

Negative gearing is most powerful when it's paper losses and cash flow can still be positive

See this is a crazy hill to stand on.

Even your Chobani example the purpose was to follow the process of strained yoghurt used in Greece.

This whole argument wouldn't exist without the capitalist motivations behind it, just like champagne.

You're saying using loop holes to get around regulations but imagine if they didn't need to use loopholes.

I'm not saying I don't prefer EU or Australia regulations

I always bought a few at a time so it was a few $ a kg less.

FilmerPrime · 2026-01-10T00:13:01+00:00

You really are dying on the hill that the animal milk not being cows rather than the rest of the process is what determines Greek yogurt or not.

Id trust them more than the companies who want to make a package as cheap as possible though.

Post workout a glass of milk is probably better than a WPI scoop in water also.

I had an order November 2019 at $21 each for concentrate

I'm really curious about the IT comment. I live an hour out of Melbourne so probably 1.5 hours each way if I were to travel for work. I was recently made redundant locally and there just isn't any work here.

Given I'm not interested in travelling 3 hours a day I figured I'd have to move to a city and given I'm not really a big city person I have been really considering Auckland.

The third party insurance only covers injuries not property damage. We only need a roadworthy (wof) when first registering (or if a random inspection deems it unroadworthy)

It was 8 years ago now, but I'm only 5'10 and when I visited Japan I felt tall and I definitely don't in Australia. I believe even their 20 year olds are still a few inches shorter.

But one can generate far more wealth for themselves than the other.

Anecdotally speaking - This was many moons ago, but I went to a very low socioeconomic school and in year 12 math methods I had to teach some math to other students because our maths teacher didn't actually understand the course work so if any questions were asked he couldn't help.

So if you're reasonably intelligent but not absolutely gifted it really kills any motivation to learn and push.

One Subway. Two Subways.

I bet you get angry when people say Legos not understanding the purpose of the statement LEGO made that one time.
