            <title>FAIRER HOUSING FOR   ALL    AUSTRALIANS</title>
            <link>http://bubblepedia.net/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=7&amp;comments_parentId=7350</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ Dear Tony  
Housing investors get a 50% DISCOUNT on capital gains tax when they sell.Every other business pays full rate ,even my barber had to pay 100% capital gains  tax when he sold  his business.That is not fair.
Housing investors claim interest as a tax deduction and can negative gear their properties.John Howards battlers have to pay tax before their rent or before they save or make house repayments to the bank. That is not fair.

Charge all Australians the same amount of tax and stop negative gearing.Recoup the BILLIONS of  lost tax dollars and use it on public housing.

   FAIRER HOUSING FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS 

REAL ACTION. Tony help the poorest  Australians.Take the heat out of the property market and help the battlers achieve the dream  of home ownership.


 To Tony s staff please answer my email .If you do not reply I will lobby  The Government and Greens on this issue.They are bereft on ideas and would surely love this one  to attack you.Time is short and I will not wait to long for a reply.

            <title>$150,000 above trendline</title>
            <link>http://bubblepedia.net/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=7&amp;comments_parentId=7311</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
A very interesting update of US, UK, Canada and Aus house prices against an assumed trendline. We are $150,000 above it and that's assuming a median price of $468,000.

Those of you who lurk on S&S will recognise it, my apologies but it is worth repeating for others.

            <description><![CDATA[Australian home buyers don't have any idea what's happening around the world. It's interesting to look at the viewer demographics on YouTube housing videos because it supports my argument that Australians don't know, or care, about the broader 'global' economy.

VIDEO 1.
House wouldn't sell at 50% off? Real Estate never goes down? 

DEMOGRAPHICS.
Next to no views in Australia.
Most popular age group (45-64). 

LINK.

VIDEO 2.
Collapse Update from California.

DEMOGRAPHICS.
Next to no views in Australia.
Most popular age group (45-64).

LINK.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRngAdsJTu4&feature=related

VIDEO 3.
Ireland Faces Total Economic Collapse.

DEMOGRAPHICS.
Hardly any views. 
None in Australia.
Most popular age group (35-64).

LINK.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQoRdzSP8vA&feature=related

VIDEO 4.
The Crash of the U.S. Housing Market?

DEMOGRAPHICS.
There are no demos for this video. But it's Glenn Beck and it's interesting.

WHEN I WATCH THESE VIDEOS, I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE HOW NAIVE AUSTRALIANS ARE.]]></description>

            <title>Inflation</title>
            <link>http://bubblepedia.net/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=7&amp;comments_parentId=7304</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I don't have a link so going to have to take my word on this for now.

The Age today saying the reason the reserve held rates static is because inflation is down and under control.

However, there's reading between the lines to be done.

Items like Plasma TVs have gone down as have a range of other - emphasis here - discretionary items as stores discount in a desperate bid to keep their cash flow healthy (Same thing happened in the UK. Big rash of 2 for 1 sales)

However Petrol is up in the teens, Water and Electricity too. Housing we all know about (was mentioned in the article but not listed in their list graphic as it might detract from the point this particular article was making).

So in a nutshell they are saying that discretionary items are holding inflation down.

And nobody has a problem with that?


A related article but not the one I saw :

            <title>Renters Will Soon Have The Opportunity To Own... In Melbourne!</title>
            <link>http://bubblepedia.net/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=7&amp;comments_parentId=7300</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Are you annoyed with the rise and rise and rise of house prices in Australia? Are you a hard-working, poorly paid professional that studied for years at university only to find that house prices are completely out of your reach? Do you dream about your own tiny, insignificant piece of Australia? Or do you barely sleep at night because you can't stop pacing around your rental property worrying about that deep, dark, bottomless rental hole you're in?

Well, stop worrying! Justin Madden and his friends are here to help you. The State Parliament of Victoria voted this afternoon to massively increase the size of Melbourne. Now that has got to put a smile on everyone's face. What does this amazing news mean for you, the (stupid) renter? It means that house prices will "ease" because the "supply" of housing will increase. Do you follow, stupid? Probably not. But don't worry, all you need to know is that buying a house in the far reaches of Melbourne is something that all the smart people are doing. Are you smart? Sure you are. So, if you are smart and if you don't mind traveling to and from work for several hours every single day, then Melbourne (technically country Victoria) is just the right place for you. 

So, this weekend, get up early (I suggest 4am), fill your car up and drive out to the, as yet, unnamed suburbs that lie just 40km north of Craigieburn (100km north of the CBD). When you get there, take a look around - it's your new home, stupid.
