Housing Shortage

It certainly doesn't. If HIS VAN is built to special order, there could be a case for higher payment. but it's a warning sign. Nev

If those " insolvent trader's " get taken to court , the judgement,  should include at portion of the fine be payed to creditors. 

Who does the fine benefit.

Spacey, the problem is many company directors and managers simply blow every cent that ever went into their bank account, run themselves into bankruptcy, and there's nothing left to even pay fines.

This is where statutory compensation funds need to be set aside to cover losses caused by poor management that creates major losses for innocent buyers.

[facthunter]

It doesn't have to be limited to a fine, although Gina Rhinehart says that should be the case for ALL crimes. IF I had $37 Billion I might say that too. Nev

So far two alleged war criminals who are allegedly being protected by Kerry Stokes don't seem to be suffereing too much i nthe way of the application of due process in law enforcement.

Behaviour of Serving Soldiers in ODD wars gets very complex.. WE send them there and expect them to perform  risky missions. .   Nev

[gareth lacey]

I respectfully say to people who have not served in a zone of conflict and be shot at to not condemn veterans or serving troops, you have not experienced what has ,can happen in the situation that they are put in you have no idea how you would react, as for soldiers who commit war crimes they should be judged by their peers not civilians,the fog of war/combat takes its toll, my experience albeit for a short time was mostly boredom but bouts of sheer terror, it is not for the faint hearted and nowadays you serve with 1 hand tied behind your back, i see to much politics involved Rant over

A builder that specialised in knocking down old houses is being liquidated with more than $3million in debt - and 45 unfinished homes - after having its licence suspended.

 

Ansa Homes, a Sydney-based family business established in 2006, has collapsed after Building Commission NSW suspended its contractor licence for 60 days, following complaints from customers about defects.

 

The embattled company's shareholders appointed insolvency firm Jirsch Sutherland on Tuesday, after the state government agency stopped it from trading, leading to the retrenchment of 20 builders.

Tradie’s alarming discovery at new build exposes costly problem for Aussie homeowners: ‘Wild West’

 

Building inspector Russell McCarthy said the issue doesn't scratch the surface on the industry-wide problem.

 

In the past five years, McCarthy said he has not inspected one new build that was "defect-free" — despite it being a part of his everyday job.

But, Gareth, what about the pollies who sent them there? I reckon they are fair game, although I tend to agree with you about prosecuting " for war crimes". What about the blatant cases .There are some stories coming from ukraine about terrible atrocities inflicted upon defenceless captive soldiers by the russians.

Housing prices are getting to be a joke. Another McMansion just completed around the corner from us, 200m away, open for display yesterday afternoon, is listed as expecting to go for $2.4 million.

 

[facthunter]

IF inflation takes over it will be 4 Million in a few years.. What would a vacant block there be worth?  Nev

[spacesailor]

That seems cheap ! .

Using THE Queensland !, charities ,  prize houses .

So guessing it's not in that Money area .

It doesn't have the car, boat and gold bullion of the Qld raffle homes.

 

Houses around here sell quickly. Very few auctions passed in. We live 100m from a secondary college and 1 km from a state primary and a Catholic primary. Buses run past the end of our street.There is no vacant land in the suburb, but land valuation (rates) is around $1m per block as per last rates notice. 95% of buyers are either Asian or Indian.

Bayside Melbourne prices are Astronomical.. My Kids clad them and know the values. Nev

[facthunter]

Indians often buy them off the Plan in new  subdivisions. A title search reveals this.  Nev

Time to sell, move into luxury rental and have plenty of money for the rest of your life.

[nomadpete]

Lets see, if rent averages 1k per week, thats $52,000 p.a. for rent.

 

So, you aren't expecting to live very long?

[red750]

 I'm not interested in travel or anything like that, I'm living OK, paying all my bills and saving on the pension. I'm happy the way things are. No need rocking the boat.

For that price you can buy this place on one acre in my street and have a couple of hundred thousand left over.

 

[willedoo]

A lot of the flash places in my street are over the two million mark. It's not so much the land but you can see it in the build. The cost of building these days is staggering.

[facthunter]

The size and opulence of Houses is staggering too... It will take most of your life to pay it off. Nev
