Enjoy your chocolates everyone, and the
Easter break.

Take care.

Dear Belly

The irony is we owe our AAA rating to Communist China - not to Gillard's government.

"Ah yes, Communist China, and one day we will all be communist - just as I had planned" says a former alcoholic Labor leader as he takes another swig of gin.

I will not keep you blokes long cartoon time soon on the telly.
45% any one claiming the tax did that needs a new sand box to play in.
Housing remains free market driven by market forces.
Rechtub ? you my mate are a mystery to me, just as much as your snags may have been in your shops.
Have a good cry fellas and wait till your false Gods feet of clay show up before his first 3 months in office.

Lexi my sweet, the fact that others have got into a worse pickle than us is no reason to crow. All that means is that this dreadful government has not been in power for as long as theirs. Give these twits another term, & they will win the race to the worst economy in the western world.

Sweetie you have to stop believing this garbage you read in lefty rags. You tend to believe the spin.

It is some time since even the government paid witchdoctor for global warming said "It ain't gunna rain no more". Drought is now just a winter thing, & seasons have returned to normal. That means I still can't drive to my bottom paddock yet this year, just like the old days.

All records show that bad weather is much reduced. The bad weather you are reading about is all in their computers. Even the insurance industry admit that we have had less than average bad weather events. Cyclones for example, are way down, world wide.

Sony all you are telling me is that all my neighbours are, like me, poorer than they were before Gillard. Doesn't make me happy, just pi55ed off for them too.

Oh & no, lower valuation doesn't reduce your rates individual, unless you are one of just a few. Assuming it's general, as it is around here, the council will just strike a higher rate in the dollar. How else could they pay all those useless planners, & other drones.

Julia & co have got the public so frightened that no one is buying houses. The value of my property is great in comparison. Our fool planners are not permitting any more 20, or even 10 acre blocks, so we have very high demand, for properties like mine, from horse people.

The ones I feel really sorry for are acreage owners of lovely new homes. They can't get within $100,000 of what they paid just a couple of years ago. Many are now in negative equity, so can't afford to sell, when changed circumstances really require them to

sonofgloin, THAT'S GOLD!

Lexi...The Northern tropics are getting wetter.

I just love it when some goose says, it's the hottest.......day/month since 1854.

Gee, I wonder what caused that record to be set.

Now on the other hand, if we could sell our coal overseas, then somehow stop the wind from coming our way (powered by renewable energy of cause) then perhaps we could stop pissing into the fan, so as to say.

Now as for your debate, yep, let's go, but let's also do a similar Analyses WITHOUT MINING and the thousands of support jobs it creates.

As for debt being low, it's like saying three years ago I owned my 2 million dollar house, but now I owe $300,000 in borrowings, but I'm in no worse shape.

Imdi....If land gets devalued do the rates follow suit ?
Not noticeably, as the ratable value on your land is only a portion of your over all rates.

I also understand it's averaged over three years or so. Besides, unimproved values mean very little, as the only thing that adjusts your value, other than an event, is supply and demand.

sonofgloin, thanks for the laughs, I sure hope you're a Queenslander, cause I'd love to share a beer with you, especially when I need a good belly laugh. No pun intended

Hasbeen, dear heart, the land and housing where I live has gone UP in price, and we have never been better off financially than we are now.

Maybe you are living in the wrong area?

Just what do you think will change when the bumbling Abbott gets his hands on the top job?
Nothing....

One lot in Canberra is just as bad as the other.
