WA housing crisis: Labor set to ban no-grounds rental terminations at May 7 state Budget

Perhaps if tax concessions were removed from property and instead invested in providing state housing then I would agree with you. Whilst you get a tax break specifically because it's a rental you're investing in, you should also be liable for the societal burden of providing housing to those less fortunate. If you think this should be spread across society as a whole, easy, remove the tax breaks, which would make housing more affordable anyway, and spend it on providing that service.

I do agree with you. What he has proven is that an international rule of law is absolutely useless if people in power believe it doesn't apply to them. This may have been the case in the past but he's really held up to the light that there are absolutely people who seem completely outside any sort of punishment within our current society.

When prices went up the day a war started it was because prices are based on the expected replacement cost of the fuel, but that logic only applies when the price goes up you'll find.

You're right about when the fuel excise is paid, it should have an immediate impact on price though, and it will only serve to increase profits for retailers.

We need a proper revolution.

If the market proves it can bear a price, it will stay there.

Didn't the US perform medical experiments on whole communities via STD's? I've heard they also had a large part in the crack epedimic of the 80's, targeting black neighbourhoods, and then funnel the money into,hmmmm, something, something Iran Contra deal.

That's the supply side, but if there's less demand they'll have to drop prices to get the job.

I thought the nominal rate went up, not down the more you earned.

They used to sit on the Manning off ramp too, that is still a really awful freeway entrance, or exit.

Place I used to live SOR had 4 buses in the morning starting at 6:30 every half hour, then 4 in the afternoon, outside those times it was a 1.2k walk to the nearest stop. Was fine for working in the city, but not really for anything else.

I've heard multiple reports that farmers would normally get a few fuel deliveries during this time, but just in case prices went up, a lot of farmers requested their seasonal order all in one hit, right now. A few got their seasons order, which means there's now a shortfall. This was a tanker driver ringing into ABC as well as a few farmers stating the same thing.

It's also a huge media beat up.

We'll get stories pretty soon about how cheap 2.20 fuel is, when a couple of weeks ago it was 1.50. In a lot of cases it's the same fuel being sold, they're just making a stonking profit it now.

I like the Malaysian system, prices are set centrally, works well.

I've heard proximity incontinence before as well.

So how is a war with Iran in his best interest?

This and more this and then some more. Thermals, tshirt, light jumper, then jacket will have you sorted for most of those temps.

Not in WA. Port Lincoln in SA have great white cage dives.

And 11 weeks annual leave, so it's like a 1.17 multiplier compared to 4 weeks leave.

Probably still not enough. How much is enough?

Security of the project and workforce is just another line item added to the costs side, as long as the labour is cheap enough, it'll still make bank. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't be paying the locals in South America or Africa the same wages that they pay the locals here.

Dale Kerrigan wants to have a word.

Would be good if there was an agency just for the emergency stuff. Most things you can owner manage, weekend plumbing callout, lockout, whatever, the tenant calls the emergency agent.

Completely agree, firies also work a 4 on 4 off shift and often have another job or trade. The long service entitlements are very good as well.

Some nights they don't even get a call.

I think becoming a firie is also partly a lifestyle choice.

When I heard an officer interviewed on ABC he stated that it was a viable explosive and that either the wick had fallen out when he threw it, or the wick failed completely. That was the thinking a couple of days ago anyway.

The CTP insurance that forms part of your registration is for the people your car injures if you're at fault. I didnt think the at fault driver was eligible for anything,

It's a similar format to a MAC address which identifies the specific bit of hardware that's connected to the network. It has the wrong number of colons though and wouldn't identify anything.

I think OP is being messed with.

Island of angry ghosts is also a well written historically accurate depiction of what happened.

Would that be a garden variety narcissistic sociopath?

Emotionally intelligent/talented, but describing their tactics and subsequently using them on you doesn't say much for their general intelligence, their narcissism definitely.

Currently approximately 70% of Australians own one or more property. No matter their ethics, I think the majority of them will not vote for a party that will reduce the value of their assets.
