rehctub,
I know how it all works, I just don't subscribe to it. I believe there are much better & fair systems out there waiting to be used. Yes, I know it's worked like that for a very long time but it is nearing its use-by date. It is no good anymore as can be deduced from the situation we're finding ourselves in now. If it is as good as you believe then why isn't it working anymore or are the present economic indications just a figment of the imagination of those who lose out ?
The present system is not a sustainable system. It's like many other things that work for only so long. You can't on one hand talk about fairness yet on the other hand you promote negative gearing. The unions have never understood it nor have many managers. The only reason many businesses survive is because of the writing off bail-outs. Anyone could make a profit if they had to pay less tax.

Foxy,
Why do you think people changed the Government if things were so good ?

Rechtub not having a shot but for generations those truly astute investors have been sent broke by the unexpected.
I did not start the link to express a wish for a bubble burst, no way I deal here in rumors or phantoms.
In fact if/when the bubble bursts it may have nothing to do with rent prices or such.
But if rents continue to rise common sense should say how many can pay them.
I put forward an opinion from a man much more in touch with such things than any of us, his history is full of predictions that came true.
If a Bubble comes/when it comes, it will be fed by the self assurance of the astute investor, and too fed on his/her investments not mine
As my home is home not an investment.

As my home is home not an investment.
Belly,
Cheers for that. I wonder how many will understand that.

Dear Individual,

Part of the reason as one author pointed outs
"is that the Labor Party failed to
remind voters that the government policies they rely on
for the success of their communities exist because of the
Labor Party. Policies like Medicare, a strong public health
system, a workplace relations platform which gives workers
safe, fair and stable employment, disability support,
nation building infrastructure, environmental protection,
and a strong, regulated and growing economy are all
because of the successful work of Labor governments."

It was Labor's communications failures, as well as the
inept and corrupt reporting of politics by our
mainstream media that contributed to their failure.
A case of a "bad sales pitch spoiling a great product."

The Libs on the other hand expertly mislead ( a misleading
sales pitch for an awful product). However, the Libs
now have to deliver the goods. And rhetoric will have to
be replaced by governing. It weill be interesting to
see how voters react over the next couple of years when their
lives become personally affected by the cuts, slashes, and
burns of government services. When they have to wait 18 hours
in the emergency room of their local hospital because there
are no nurses or doctors available to see them. When their
child's class at school suddenly has 45 students per teacher,
instead of 20. And so on.

And what a wonderful job they did on all those you mentioned Foxy.

Disability care, unfunded!

A strong public health system, what a joke!

Strong, fair workplace platform, yea right, for the workers perhaps. Have you noticed unemployment going up, not down and, Ford, Holden and Toyota have not left yet.

National building infrastructure, you mean the one that is riddled with union corruption.
The strong economy you point to is only there because of the billions tipped in, then achieved nothing in return apart from a few unfunded dreams they conveniently passed on.

....It was Labor's communications failures, as.....

Yes, and of cause their arse whipping in the polls had nothing to do with the $400 odd billionnthey wasted, or the numbers of illegals they welcomed ashore, did it!

So, in less than six months, Tony has STOPPED THE BOATS, and found out that the only reason the car industry was here was because of the UNCONDITIONAL gravy train labor was offering.

As far as governing is concerned, if we use labors past six years of,lies, deceit and in-house back stabbing, that sets the bar pretty low for the libs if they need to improve.

About the only saving grace is there's no money left to waste, because your beloved labor has wasted it all, and some, and some, and some.

Your unconditional support is touching to say the least.
