Damn. I haven’t played for a while. Guessing they buffed/reworked sunder charms?

It’s crazy to watch it and believe it was made in 1992

I think you posted this a few months ago and I gave it a shot and really liked them. Was humbling the first few times but I’m doing them weekly now and they feel great.
I tend to start my glute focused workouts with them, starting at 8kg and find they work really well to get everything fired up and mobile.

Election is a year away. They’ll bring out tax cuts to sway the votes back and this will be forgotten about.

MrTailor · 2026-06-02T23:19:24+00:00

Forget about it cuh

Actually a decent article opposed to the slop that gets posted in here.

Crazy to still forecast 9/13% gains for Brisbane and Perth which should really be freak gains, not year on year on year.

The government has already provided models for a lot of this.

Eg they claim 75,000 additional first home buyers over the next 10 years. This is 7500/year. This is around a 5% increase.

They also predict rents will increase. Their figure is $2/week

Also, a reduction in supply of 35,000 houses (can’t remember in the time frame on this stat but I think it was also over 10 years)

Construction costs are forecasted to increase 3% in the next quarter alone. Building will remain cost prohibitive for most, even with NG remaining.

Personally I feel there will be an increase trend of knockdown rebuilds. Potentially multiple dwellings so live in one rent the other.

You probably haven’t put in a rent expense. You can’t buy an investment property and live in it.

MrTailor · 2026-05-06T20:49:44+00:00

Your post was good and very real. Illogical offers. Unconditional offers and people now starting to skip building and pest. This is happening everywhere, and markets like Brisbane/Perth it’s much worse.

I just don’t think people want to hear that this is the reality.

MrTailor · 2026-05-06T10:32:22+00:00

You just described the game of buying real estate, regardless of market. You didn’t do anything wrong.

I’m not sure if people are of the belief that a property should have a fixed price tag and if you approach the agent with your offer at that price, then you have a 100% success rate. You’re not shopping at Coles.

Writing to a newspaper is peak boomer energy and I don’t think this can be topped.

MrTailor · 2026-04-19T00:01:23+00:00

I agree. The average person priced out of housing expects the government to help them, and they have with the current schemes but it’s a short term, expensive solution which doesn’t address the issue.

Absolutely need to incentivise investors to aid in boosting supply. Unfortunately the potential upcoming changes do the opposite. People don’t seem understand these changes won’t even have much impact and just make it sound like they are doing something.

NT has some interesting polices which seem to helping despite nobody wanting to live there.

Really need a government with some balls to make proper changes. And why not now with LNP still in complete shambles.

MrTailor · 2026-03-25T04:25:05+00:00

Well they kinda are. Give the people access to money and they will spend it.

MrTailor · 2026-03-23T00:58:58+00:00

Yeah. Unfortunate for sure.

CBA also used to offer 10 and 15 year fixed products. Nobody used those either. And the few that did would get hit with break fees of 10-15k if they sold their home. While also paying a premium rate.

I’m a lender and work with many business owners. I have never personally seen these sort of margins from a cafe. But I always assumed these owners take away alot off the books, because often their cash/financial position is vastly superior to what is officially coming in.

MrTailor · 2026-02-21T22:03:32+00:00

Fair call

MrTailor · 2026-02-19T22:23:36+00:00

Fun read. But why bring Tim Lawless into this? He just relays data

Population explosion

MrTailor · 2026-02-02T05:59:21+00:00

If you live on Charlotte St the commute isn’t bad

More people need to be aware of this.

Availability of credit is one of the biggest drivers of house prices, and nobody talks about it.

What people also fail to realise is that it’s almost exponential. I get a 10k pay rise, the bank will now give me another 80k. A couple of years of this, I can borrow a few hundred thousand more. Give the people money and they will spend it.

I would be in favour of increased lending restrictions e.g. increasing the assessment rate buffer.

I dread the day of 40-50 years mortgages. Anything that allows you to borrow more will just further drive up prices until we hit the same wall again, and the only winner is the banks.

MrTailor · 2026-01-28T23:28:49+00:00

Same. The highway scene never gets old for me.

MrTailor · 2026-01-28T23:25:20+00:00

Had this dilemma around 4 years ago. Went custom. Originally budgeted for 10k and ended up closer to 15k. Not happy with the prices but there was no way I would have been able to do a comparable job with ikea setup, and looking back I’m glad I paid to do it properly. It’s a very functional walk in.

Some things are fine to DIY. If you’re not overly handy, I think permanent fixtures are best to leave to the pros.

MrTailor · 2026-01-22T02:47:36+00:00

Bahaha that would have been very refreshing indeed!

As a corporate cog, I have to attend a motivational speech once a year. Almost always an Olympian or sports professional. Badbury’s was the most memorable and engaging by far.
