Anyone beg to differ? MT

And I think the substance of the Dogma makes a difference. The dogma of Mother Theresa is a threat to nobody. We shouldn’t be afraid to make moral judgements on the ideas as well as the practices.

There’s not going to be a calling in of loans sufficient enough to have any broad impact. If there is any flattening off or correction that won’t play a part. Tightening of credit policies are the much more likely culprit. What do you think the impact of the credit protection laws will be when things…[Read more]

I had signed the contracts. It’s not very expensive for 30-90 days of settlement. MT

From an investors point of view won’t that ongoing cost just be passed down the line to tenants (creeping up to $25/wk)? And wont the easier entry to the market boost the price in the same way it does when restrictions to credit are eased? I’m not saying I’m right but I would be interested to know your thoughts on that aspect. MT

My view is that the more the government can wind back on taxes and charges the less it’s stealing from it’s citizens! I hope they do it. But if you remove artificial barriers to market entry then there will probably be a spike in home values which will eventually cancel out those stamp duty savings anyway. Better to have…[Read more]

But inflation is a good way for governments to steal off us today and pay it back for less tomorrow. I wonder when that will become a driving strategy again like it was under Gough whitlam? MT

Derek Gehl works in this area. Steve has had him at events before too. I read this article of his recently https://derekgehl.com/internet-marketing-trends-predictions/ Definitely looks interesting.

I’d be going with the glass as 40% empty not 60% full. I’m sure there’s another 10-20 against him who didn’t want to pull the trigger for various reasons.

Having said that I think the gap is just enough for him to keep authority in the party and give him the clearance in the media if…[Read more]

Is there something going off with aviation or is it the just as always and I’m just noticing it more? Either way I feel for these poor souls and their families.

I agree that it was an interesting tweet by Murdoch. Probably had the opposite effect though, I mean how can Abbott possibly sack Credlin at the public behest of Murdoch? His private entreaties to Abbott must have gone unheeded – has fairfax written something like that yet ;)

Haha! I was feeling a little bit opinionated.

Who I vote for … now that would be telling. But I usually hang centre/right – make of that what you will! The saying “love is blind” still has its limitations though.

Tony Abbott promised to push the ‘reset’ button for the start of this year but it is looking more likely it was the ‘eject’ button after knighting Prince Philip. I can’t remember any dumber political moves in recent times which are typically filled up…[Read more]
