He doesn't think he's a king, he thinks he's God. About time someone got rid of the miserable conniving basket.

Never went to uni. Like it or not, some people will never own a home. Some live in rentals all their lives. The problem is there are not enough homes to buy or rent. Who builds the rentals? Investors. And if you punish the investors with too heavy taxes, the rentals don't get built. I guess I should consider myself lucky. I bought my first house in Sydney a few months after I got married in 1972. As the manager of a bank's computer centre, I got bank finance. In 1978 I was transferred back to Melbourne, where I bought my second house. I paid that house off with my long service leave pay when the bank amalgamated and as an employee of the minor partner, I was retrenched. I had worked for the bank for 29 years. I still live in that second house, so increasing mortgage interest rates or rentals don't affect me.

No it doesn't. Take 12 houses for sale, 10 @ $1m, 2 at $600,000. The average (mean) is 10 x $1m + 2 x $600K = $11,200,000/12 = $9,333,333 The median is $1m + $600K =$1.600K / 2 = $800K

Correct.

A Facebook post by One Nation Supporters Group. 🟠 LABOR LOST THE PRIMARY VOTE BY 10 POINTS LAST NIGHT BUT STILL WON THE SEAT. WHY? PREFERENCES. 🟠 Stafford just showed every voter on the right exactly why preferences matter. Labor's primary vote dropped 8.1 points. The LNP got 40.4% of the primary. Labor got 30.7%. Almost a 10-point gap. And Labor still won the seat. How? Preferences. THE NUMBERS RIGHT LEANING: • LNP (Hammond): 40.4% • Family First (Denaro): 2.4% • Independent Damian Smart (Gerard Rennick's People First): 1.9% • Libertarians (Selff): 1.1% That is roughly 45.8% of the vote on the right. LEFT/CENTER LEFT: • Labor: 30.7% • Greens: 14.6% • Independent Liam Parry (Queensland Socialists candidate, far left): 3.8% • Legalise Cannabis: 3.0% • Animal Justice Party: 2.1% That is roughly 54.2% on the left. And One Nation: 0.0%, 0 votes, minus 3.2% because we did not run. So the right had 45.8% of the primary vote but lost because: 1. The left bloc is bigger at 54.2% 2. The right's 45.8% is split across FOUR different parties or candidates 3. Those right leaning minor party preferences are not all flowing cleanly to the LNP 4. Meanwhile every single left vote is funnelling back to Labor 5. If One Nation had a candidate for Stafford, the right would have won this seat

Correct pmcc.

Foreigners visiting our country say they often have difficulty with the Aussie vernacular. For example, the shortening of words. Arvo, servo, g'day, footy, etc. Another is the great Australian "NOT" - how the answer to many questions is what it's not - How are you today? Not bad. How much further? Not far. How many of those lollies did you eat? Not many. What did you pay for those sneakers? Not much. When are you knocking off? Not long.

I understand what you say, but just dropping everything and letting her go isn't going to teach her anything either. She has to learn there are consequences.

Today's gripe - the legal system. Yesterday a girl was up on over 100 charges, including hooning around in a stolen car and injuring someone, antisemitic activities and an online search "Where do Jews live." All charges were dropped by police prosecutors, because her solicitor said at 13 she was too young to know what she was doing was bad. What a crock of shit. Not only should she have been thrown in the slammer - she'd soon learn it was bad, but her parents should also have been charged with being lousy parents and for not keeping her under control. It's the same with all these kids running around fire bombing the place. Where are the parents? The age of criminal responsibility has to be lowered.
