    Why scrapping negative gearing won’t fix the housing crisis— by Noel Whittaker

    Self interest always beats fact, ask Morrison or Trump. Never let facts get in your way. A simple check of statistics will show how much fiction in this article. ATO figure also do not support his claims.

    Owning a home used to be a milestone…now it’s a miracle—here’s why

    There is NO sales tax on your residential home. There is stamp duty on the purchase, which the buyer pays. If it is an investment property, capital gain tax (with concessions) is payable, but no sales tax. You do not loose your pension on sale, provided you buy a new home I think within 12...

    Owning a home used to be a milestone…now it’s a miracle—here’s why

    No other country allows the tax concessions Australia gives on investment housing. That alone should indicate it needs changing. Wait for the outrage of the small group benefiting from these tax breaks

    Should my daughter pay for breaking something that’s already being replaced?

    You are not being unreasonable. Going into in some one else's room and sesrching and taking their belongings is enough to warrant consequences. Unless there is some other suitable consequence, she should pay for the damaged item.

    Could this wedding guest's shocking outfit choice ruin the bride's big day?

    How about something original. A variation of this well worn story has benn circulating on other social media platforms for months, usually with the mother in law the villain.

    You could be making this mistake on the road—Why did a horse rider confront a driver?

    I think they all require care, horses, livestock, kangaroos, kids bicycles etc. The article also mentions country road, and the poster I was referring to said he drives along country and back roads which are presumably quieter yet was still complaining aggressively. Also, it is legal to take a...

    I see a lot more skittish and stupid drivers than horses

    You could be making this mistake on the road—Why did a horse rider confront a driver?

    Yes I do. What about nervous drivers, nervous kids on bicycles. Do you want to ban them. Farmers often have to move livestock to different fields, using the road. Ban them too? Start thinking of others, if that is possible for you. What about elderly pedestrians? How much damage do you...

    You could be making this mistake on the road—Why did a horse rider confront a driver?

    There are people, and a world outside Australia. Most of our laws are based on British laws and that is not going to change. We are affected by happenings outside our borders, e.g. the US and China

    Sounds like a self entitled driver. Horses are legally allowed on roads. What next? Ban pedestrians, what about bicycles?

    Show Us the Receipts: Watchdog Puts Super Funds Under the Microscope

    That was meant to be for Novezar and his/her claims. And I agree about the scaremongering. The way the fund in the article managed the upgrade was incompetent ( and I used to work in IT)!

    If you are not a member of those types of funds, how do you know what they are like, what the returns are and how quickly they make funds available?

    Show Us the Receipts: Watchdog Puts Super Funds Under the Microscope

    I am with an industry fund and NOT a union member. I switched from a 'crooked' private fund which has a number of court cases and class actions pending. Also the at least half the directors of industry funds are from the business sector. Funny how the industry funds have lower fees, better...

    Union membership cannot be compulsory, hence the advertisements to join a union

    Show Us the Receipts: Watchdog Puts Super Funds Under the Microscope

    NO, that is nonsense and showing ignorance, Union membership is about 15%. I am in a industry fund and have NEVER been a union member, nor did I qualify as a member. People join because they are better
