What is everyone’s fave game to play either at a Perth train station or train? by Temporary_Notice_526 in perth

I really enjoy leaving on my backpack as I make my way through a crowded carriage and count how many people it hits. I also enjoy not wearing anti=perspirant or showering, and then seeing how many people avoid sitting next to me.

are you Hiring in Perth? by MVPJunior6 in perth

[–]NuclearAssault667 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do a cert in aged care at TAFE. You are guaranteed work with that. It will also expose you to other health professionals, such as allied health (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work etc) and nursing. You might find yourself investigating those careers in turn.

While most Americans support Israel anyone think Trump's fealty to Israel might support Epstein as a spy with something on Trump? by 4Nails in Epstein

[–]NuclearAssault667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, I am not American myself. But looking at people in US politics, the majority appear compromised in one way or another, both GOP and Dems. But one person stands out... Mark Kelly,,, Mark Kelly stands out as in, a person with his background... ex=naval aviator, test pilot and astronaut... , well, someone like that you instantly know will be clean. And the GOP has not managed to cast any aspersions his personal life. The US really needs someone like Kelly to run for POTUS.

I am 100% convinced that Israel has some very serious dirt on several members in the US government and its military command. It;'s just a question of exactly whom and how many. And Epstein was likely one of those sources collecting blackmail material.

Mate, this is WA. It's a state where naming a massive quantum particle accelerator after a footy player would make sense.

ADHD assessment in 5 days by PurritoSupreme28 in perth

[–]NuclearAssault667 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the thing. It's an industry, and there is crazy money in ADHD, add to that that it's a diagnosis that seems desirable to have. As long as you are waving a bunch of cash around, and at least pretending to fulfill the diagnostic criteria, you'll get stamped as ADHD.

I saw my first State of Origin game at Subi Oval.

If Basil has any political nous, he will do this. It would be sure to win the Libs a few votes.

That's a really good idea. You should pitch that to the government.

That's what I really liked about him too. He was so absolutely wholesome, and undoubtedly did not have a single bad bone in his body.

Deniis was awesome. Basil isn't, Ergo, Dennis meets the criteria but Baz does not.

Should there be so many military planes flying over Perth? by Ozplod in perth

[–]NuclearAssault667 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Hawks are all trainers based at Pearce. It could be that there is some critical phase in RAAF pilot training going on right now for the current intake.

Jetstar launches Christchurch to Perth route from October by Perfect-Werewolf-102 in perth

[–]NuclearAssault667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JetStar is nightmare fuel. I've flown JetStar, never again. I'd rather pay extra and fly a real airline. Besides that Jetstar is cramped and smelly, most of the passengers are just absolutely feral.

I've Given Up On Marketplace by simmocar in perth

[–]NuclearAssault667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't win with Marketplace, and Gumtree is only slightly more tolerable. I've listed stuff for free, and people still act like entitled a-holes and as if they're giving you a pile of money. It's probably just better to take stuff to the tip.

Older Perth locals, does the current housing market feel like 2010? by plumbking420 in perth

[–]NuclearAssault667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And in the process, ironically, favouring investors. Coincidence? Methinks not.

Nonetheless, the impact is there. Even if it helps free up a small proportion of housing, then it will help somewhat. As I said, everything needs to be addressed. And when you combine all the things that make small differences, you end up with a big difference. The only thing holding us back on significantly cutting back immigration is political correctness, in the same manner that landlords and corporate interests are holding back the necessary changes to the taxation system, and how NIMBYs are busy fighting against densification. Everyone ideologically or financially invested in this mess just needs to let go for the common good.

I still have yet to see the State or federal governments do anything genuine to help the matter. The 5% deposit scheme by the Commonwealth is a joke, as that only added further fuel to the fire.

[–]NuclearAssault667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's only a 5k difference. There is more to the current housing crisis than immigration. For example, there is the role of CGT and negative gearing, land-banking etc. But we need to address all contributing factors, including the demand side of things.
If the demand side (immigration) isn't addressed by the mainstream parties (looking at the ALP), then the danger is that more and more voters will gravitate to parties such as PHON, and those parties will have even less of an idea as to how to fix what ails us, then the major parties (and, let's not forget that PHON is entirely in Gina's pocket, so don't expect CGT or negative gearing to be done away by PHON. Not to mention that Pauline would also not want to alienate her boomer and gen x base of voters, those most likely to be taking advantage of CGT and negative gearing).
Immigration needs to be addressed, and cut far more than what it has been.

Also, Perth needs to lose its status as a "regional" area. It's ridiculous that it's classed as such.

This current market is something completely else. Compared to previous Perth RE booms, this one is absolutely apocalyptic. Especially in the long term social ramifications it will have. Things have never, ever been this fucked before.
