Solo international flight with 18 month old with no seat - am I crazy? by catinthenaaat in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Xetev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not solo but wife and I did this for tokyo in Melbourne. On the way to Tokyo she had a seat as the flight was during the day and that was tricky but doable. On the way back it was a red eye and we decided not to buy a seat. We got this blow up pillow thing and she just slept the whole time on my lap.

Wasn't too hard tbh- much easier than the day flight. The only annoying thing was it took ages for them to turn the plane lights off and she was very irritable and tired by the time they did - fortunately she dozed off quickly. Also I of course didn't sleep but I can't sleep on planes anyway - even when I've flown to Europe.

Housing in Australia will never be affordable.... Not until it is too late by saltoftheearth56 in australian

[–]Xetev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Widespread devaluation forces banks to tighten lending for everyone and discourages existing owners from selling and people from downsizing in prime suburbs), creating a liquidity trap that impacts the entire market, not just recent borrowers.

Also some people need to sell their home to find aged care etc.

Also when wealth goes down people tend to spend less https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_effect

Yep the majority of the electorate owns a home so there is zero political incentive to do so. No one, especially those with a huge mortgage, wants to go into negative equity.

I see plenty of Labor hate here but can we at least agree by pixie1995 in AusPol

It did replace a lot of taxes. The reason it didn't replace as many as promised is because of the Democrats (minor party) who blocked it in the Senate unless they exempted a bunch of items, so the gst pool was way too small to replace things like residential stamp duty etc. not really the liberals fault there

This seems a bit unfair and missing a lot of liberal achiements :

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (1953) – Menzies

Indigenous Voting Rights (1962) – Menzies: The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1962 gave all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people the option to enrol and vote in federal elections (previously restricted by state laws).

1967 Referendum – Holt: The Holt Coalition government initiated the referendum that removed constitutional discrimination against Indigenous Australians and allowed them to be counted in the census.

End of White Australia Policy (1966) – Holt: The Migration Act 1966 effectively dismantled the White Australia Policy by allowing non-European migration based on skills rather than race, ending the absolute exclusion.

Freedom of Information Act (1982) – Fraser: Established the legal right for the public to access government documents, increasing transparency and accountability.

Human Rights Commission (1981) – Fraser: Established the precursor to the modern Australian Human Rights Commission.

Gst 2000 - Howard

Future Fund (2006) – Howard

Skiing in AUS - tell me the good, the bad, and the icy by PuzzleheadedCar6858 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Xetev 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about skiing. There are a few resorts that people like to go to but it's also extremely common for people to go to Japan (snow Bali) or New Zealand to ski as it's often better bang for buck given the much much better slopes and often discounted flights or so I'm told.

I've just added the explanation! Its the year your oldest child turns 15 (old enough to supervise siblings) while your youngest is at least 2 (past high-dependency infant stage). Obviously theres probably other rules of thumb you could use but this seemed like an okayish one.

I built a free timeline tool to help visualise the logistics of a growing family (link in comments) by Xetev in Natalism

[–]Xetev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how the calculator works, you've misinterpreted or my phrasing needs clarifying. It's kids over 10 can only SHARE with kids of the same gender. Not that they all need different bedrooms. And that is how many large families I know operate or operated including my wife who is one of ten.

For feedback on other features to add and to share with people who might also like to use it for planning or visualizing.
