It seems a requirement of being totally rich that you have to participate in various illegal activity to either get there or stay there. So many tall poppies get knocked down these days.

No, I would be worried about dmichie as well. Maybe you, or someone else, can find him a cheap property on the Northern Beaches and he will be happy.

I hope that excites you.

You are probably right. I do not think they work hard enough for much higher.

Island, it has nothing to do with whose is bigger… it is about providing the right information. Is there a problem with the information I provided that annoys you?

Would you like me to delete all my posts that provide correct and accurate information?

You said you just wanted “good info”… do you consider incorrect information “good…[Read more]

Only 3% of the workforce is in the highest bracket. The impact should not be that great.

I love the ideas of CGT being abolished after 15 years and tax breaks for companies providing child care.

My concerns lie with why the Labor Party is looking to stop the tax breaks going through because they believe it disadvantages lower income earners. I…[Read more]

It warranted big red letters because your ‘doom and gloom’ stories relate to your area and are clearly an attempt to benefit yourself. Give it a rest.

I would enjoy discussing other topics with you but discussing economics with you is of no use to me. There is nothing for me to learn from you that I cannot get out of the most recent media…[Read more]

dmichie, I could not be bothered spending my time searching for, reading and then posting articles to support my arguments. This is not my chosen field so I consider it too time consuming. I am content with the information I receive myself to formulate my own opinions and do not feel the need to share them publicly in this area through a multitude…[Read more]

Unfortunately, many vendors are kidding themselves as to what they believe their home is worth. This is also usually the fault of the agent trying to get the listing.

I agree that in most cases the agent works for themselves but there are the odd agents out there who still try very hard for the vendor.

Personally, I think RE agent commissions…[Read more]

I agree totally although I believe positive articles should also be included with the numerous negative articles that have been posted so a more informed and balanced decision can be made.

The ‘Northern Beaches’ is but a pimple on Sydney’s butt and I don’t think dmichie’s attendance at one or two auctions resulting in a 7% auction clearance rate could equate to a Sydney-wide Morgan Gallop pole.

It is more likely a…[Read more]

This was discussed in the last few days. I think it was in the help needed or general property section. Try a search for land and tax.

Well, I don’t know about other parts of the country, but where I am (northern beaches, Sydney) we had an auction clearance rate of 7% last weekend (no, not 70%, 7%). I’d hardly call that ticking along.

EXACTLY!!!

There is no need to apologise to me. I have no problem with ‘informative’ links.

I take issue with the absence of impartiality and ongoing posting of negative articles and commentary in an attempt to achieve your desired goals – ie: lower property prices on the northern beaches and a decreasing Australian dollar. This has no regard for the…[Read more]

The $300 is not an exit fee. It is a mortgage discharge fee and a similar fee applies to every loan.

I don’t follow any of your links any more. They are always the same negative trash.

I am sure I do disagree with it though.
