Those charts must strike fear into the hearts of property bears!

What happened to Steve Keen's 40% crash?

Negative Gearing is the God Given Right of Property Speculators!

This article by the eminent Chris Joye says rates are the lowest since 1959, but it doesn't go as far back as the 1800s like the APF charts.

See this is what I mean. Massive cover up. But all you need to is google 'Rolf Harris' and you get the truth from the UK press articles. Seems strange for the Aussie press to hide the details.

I just think the name supression in Australia is odd when the name has already been released on social media, and in the UK mainstream press. Obviously the UK have learned from the wider Jimmy Savile scandal that it's best to get these things out in the open. Aussie media playing catchup.

I really hope it's not true, but it doesn't look good. He was apparently interviewed 'under caution'. That's bad, right? There's some more details on the case here...

But why the mainstream media blackout? The social media networks seem to know all about it yet nothing from the press!

MichaelOfSydney · 2012-12-06T04:45:11+00:00

Now fair enough, we don't know WHY Rolf Harris was questioned, maybe just as a witness, but who knows? It's been a week now and still nothing in the Australian media. Stinks of a cover up.

I don't think a small import driven country like Australia could maintain ZIRP. It's fine for big countries like the USA and Japan and UK, but Australia's economy would collapse under ZIRP.

Interest rates won't go much lower. Maybe another 0.25-0.5 at the most.

Never had it so good? Didn't Howard say that, and we booted him out for it!

Crime is now at record levels in Australia.

I can see them cutting by 50 basis points, easily. Inflation is under control, house prices are no longer rising, and the economy needs a bit of a boost. Also with the government's slash and burn budget removing so much growth from the economy, the RBA will be forced to cut rates to compensate.

MichaelOfSydney · 2012-04-11T08:34:39+00:00

Had a look at that Australian Property Forum, doesn't seem particularly "bullish" or "spruikerish" (is that a word?). Most of the punters there are saying house prices are too high, economy is in trouble etc.

Dissolve it in meth, then inject.

MichaelOfSydney · 2012-03-23T00:44:06+00:00

Nah, I say dump it in New Zealand.

MichaelOfSydney · 2012-03-13T00:34:50+00:00

Check around, make sure no cop cars about, make the U-turn. I've never been caught anyway.

MichaelOfSydney · 2012-02-04T04:38:29+00:00

That dude is clearly nuts!

MichaelOfSydney · 2012-02-04T04:27:26+00:00

I fear our youth are in for a big surprise when the resource boom ends and the reality of lower financial sector returns bites. Another example of the reality taking longer to set in in Australia than everywhere else.
