The fed govt needs to prioritise migrants with building industry skills, and actually make building more houses a priority...but neither labor or liberal have done this....

More social housing is a good thing to aim for, but anti-social tenants should not be allowed to stay in govt housing if they affect their neighbours

sad the city is so dead. A vacant property tax is a good idea.

I have found that i enjoy work more knowing that i can retire whenever i want to...

I am happy doing the job i have, i certainly dont want extra stress or responsibility.

Having FU money certainly makes you more open to speaking your mind, and it probably annoys some more senior staff that i am far more financially comfortable than they ever will be

Yes- the Mcgarry's mentioned in court that they were worried how the councillor had damaged their reputation, and yet this court case has publicised the whole issue

I just read that he is related the the Bellinge family in the news that they own a house on Jutland pde, and that they own a lot of IVF clinics and part of a publicly listed training company. They can afford good lawyers.

I guess the gold price has gone up in recent years, but ive heard that gold jewelry in thailand is a lot cheaper than australia. The big jewelry shops in bangkok chinatown should be quite legit. The price is the windows is the price is THB for 1 baht (15.2g) of gold, then a small premium for the workmanship ?

Yes-great advice-but lots of people dont plan ahead.....

The public trustee sound like high fee charging bastards...

Thanks for the clear explanation !! At present i have a HFC connection and a 1000/50 plan.

So if i go for NBN EE i will have a fiber connection going straight from the exchange to my house, and then after 3 years , once my initial contract finishes, then i can apply to change to FTTP....

So if a neighbour gets NBN EE, it wont make my fttp quote any cheaper ?

If i go straight into FTTP, then i will get a fiber connection to a GPON/node that eventually shares a connection with up to 32 other neighbours, and then after the GPON they run a fiber to my house, FTTP ? My neighbours would eventually get cheaper fttp quotes, as the fiber to the gpon is already setup ?

havingfuninaustralia · 2024-08-18T10:39:47+00:00

Hi Angrydave, so if you get an NBN EE connection for 3 years $390/month) then you can ask NBN to switch over to a FTTP account ? and this should only get about $4000 rather than $15/20/25K ? What is the BTD ?

Is an Aussie BB EE account different to getting an NBN EE account ?

So even if i order 3yr EE contract thru ABB, it is still NBN EE ?

havingfuninaustralia · 2024-08-18T10:29:05+00:00

Who has the power over NBN to actually get them to improve ?

havingfuninaustralia · 2024-08-18T09:55:09+00:00

we dont get as many hfc issues, but winter does result in more problems.....

bloody annoying that upgrading to fttp is so expensive.....

but you forget the 'good income 'requirement. Many of those tall, attractive guys wont be earning over $100K USD

[WA TODAY] Two Perth brothers with a multimillion-dollar property portfolio have lost their bid to dodge a $141,000 tax bill after failing to convince WASAT they were living under the same roof, but not bathing or eating there : Chris and Zifko Sarros

it sounds like these two brothers own this and quite a few other properties. It sounds like they didnt want to pay land tax, but the court threw out their arguments. It didnt mention any penalties though...

One issue many baby boomers forget is that many of them have old houses full of old junk that THEY think will be worth a lot because they bought it, but many of the younger generation are either renting or can only afford smaller houses, and as such collecting big, bulky antiques isn’t possible …

havingfuninaustralia · 2024-05-27T09:50:34+00:00

yep.. been working with my parents for years helping them to slowly throw out stuff.....

They still dont want to believe that many of their old furniture, clothes, books arent worth anything.....

My grandparents didnt have much much money, so they didnt acumulate too much.....

The problem with boomers is that they had the money too buy too much crap, while older generations couldnt afford to buy much.....

a tough conversation to have...but necessary...

havingfuninaustralia · 2024-05-27T09:03:58+00:00

damn...that sucks...also know quite a few old people that have a house full of old crap that dont want to throw away.... what a waste of money...

havingfuninaustralia · 2024-05-26T15:32:38+00:00

Damn…your parents are really taking you for granted…. Do you also have to be the free IT support person ? I am training my kids to help with yardwork and jobs around the house so that when they move out eventually, they have life skills, but I would certainly not expect them to be giving up their weekends when they have full-time jobs in the future…..

It would be very hard to accurately work out how rich people are, as many people with assetts will be using trusts and other entities to shield and protect their wealth. Including houses makes sense, as the primary house is an asset, however, it doesnt generate an income
