            <title>This should impress international investors even more - NOT</title>
            <link>http://bubblepedia.net/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=7&amp;comments_parentId=8945</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This was an interesting passage within this article by Rob Burgess on Business Spectator

[http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/Abbott-ends-the-Oakeshott-love-in-pd20100908-93SRV?OpenDocument&src=sph]

"His (Abbott's) team will start by poring over the $10 billion regional assistance and development package Labor created to get Windsor, Oakeshott over the line. Gillard and Swan said last night that it would not stretch the budget bottom line, as it was paid for by a deferral of tax concessions on interest income."

With all of the talk over the last week about our savings rate declining again, this is not going to impress the foreign investors being asked to help fund our (largely non-productive) "investments".

And so much for a comprehensive look at Henry and tax reform - one of the very few recommendations that made it through - in a very truncated form - pushed out further.

I guess the banks won't be happy either - perhaps a little less inclined to hold back on those extra rate increases??

Then again, it might not come to pass anyway - perhaps the greens are already well advanced in their discussions to switch back to the RSPT and extract some real cash out of the miners...... ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[From Loui

Total resident properties listed for sale fell by 5.2% for the month to 293,500 listings. Year on year, listings are still up however, by 15.9%. All cities except Hobart recorded a fall for the month.

{img src=http://sqmresearch.com.au/newsletter/Stock%20on%20market%207th%20sep.png width= height= align= desc= link= }

The fall has been a little surprising to us.we believed there was going to be yet another rise for the month with the property markets current down turn superseding any seasonal winter decline in listings. the falls occurred due the the number of properties being withdrawn from sale, which was predominantly due to those properties selling. there was also an element of the election which made vendors pause in listing their property. 

There is a good chance though that listings will bounce back in September, due to the election being over (?!) and th normal seasonal uplift in listings for spring.

All in all though, the market seems to be trading a little bit better than what we have expected.]]></description>

I noticed these guys taking ads in the papers at the weekend (The Age, anyway)

heading "How to build a $2.9+ million portfolio making $60,092 p.a"

Seriously, if I was going to set up a site as a joke the script wouldn't deviate an awful lot from this.

I love this "quote"

I'm not sure where they get their data, butI think allhomes has been Canberra's most popular website for the past 5+ years, beloved by all property bulls (ie. the vast majority of Canberrans), so I feel completely justified in quoting it. ]]></description>
