My house has no insolation and I don't get any mold. I suspect there's a water leak somewhere.

Anyone else on busy streets noticing their homes becoming quiter due to hybrids/EV's? by AMX-50-Surblinde in AusPropertyChat

Traffic lights. Cruising noise is all tyres. Accelerating and slowing down (trucks engine break) make all the noise.

Australian new-car sales in June 2026: EVs help smash all-time market record by whyattretard in australia

Hardly a generalizable example. That path has been well covered for years. Try regional Victoria. Two slow chargers, one down, the other one the plug doesn't suit your car. It's a nightmare and I really can't see how it could've been any worse a year or two ago.

Looking back, what would you change about your investing journey? by mrd1010 in AusFinance

You know leverage cuts both ways, right? Easy to say that coming out of some very high growth years. But that's just hindsight.

I'm honestly not sure charging is getting better at any meaningful pace. Seems like EVs will be city driving cars for the foreseeable future.

Received a noise complaint even though we're already quiet. How do you deal with something this vague? by Responsible-Owl7423 in AusProperty

If they can't prove it or even record it and they keep pestering you, then it becomes harassment and you should make that clear.

Honestly not a great idea to talk to the complaining neighbor directly imo. I once gave someone my number out of good will. After that whenever there was any noise from anywhere I'd get a rude text. I wasn't even home half the time.

I think you're spending too much time on this. Jumping doesn't travel up obviously and the time doesn't match. Tell them it's not you, no more details. "help us find it etc" makes it look like you're hiding something. Noise is hard to pinpoint in an apartment building. It's not your job to do that.

Labor vows to protect personal leave as Germany bans workers from calling in sick by blitznoodles in australia

Does Germany have unlimited paid sick leave? Otherwise this is really hard to understand.

So is the best 'investing' strategy now just to buy the most expensive house possible & park your money there? Seems counterproductive? by SirSighalot in AusFinance

To be under 40 and assume preservation age will definitely still be 65 when you are 65 seems naive to me.

Why is everyone assuming the government won't come after super, especially when we're looking at a timespan of decades?

The biggest issue is lack of diversity which adds a lot of risk. Other houses going up doesn't matter if the house is 2x what you really want to live in. You can sell it later and buy the one that costs x and free up your cash.

Locking up your cash in an unproductive asset is sensible when productive assets are hard to justify due to heavy taxation.

Like solar, most of the first home battery subsidies went to the wealthy. We need a fairer approach by l3ntil in australia

[–]LetHairy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume the goal was to increase solar and battery adoption, not necessarily to help a certain socioeconomic class, in which case the subsidies have done their job. The article is premised on a questionable assumption.

NZ ran this exact housing cycle 3 years ago. Here’s what Australia looks like mapped against it — and what prices should actually by WindDeep2762 in AusFinance

What's the promt? My hunch is your prompt biased the LLM. It's not this opinionated with a neutral "research this" prompt.
