Appears different sources show vastly different state debt levels? I also heard on 3AW this morning that Vic debt is more than NSW, QLD and TAS combined? ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess what we can take from all these figures tho is that there's not a huge difference between Victoria and NSW on the level of debt, and it's not just Victoria that will feel the pain for that.

Another… Debt Vs gross state product %
(Source: Financial Times) ![]() Whatever way you want to twist the figures, it still points to Victoria being in deep, deep poo-poo for the foreseeable future! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its a vicious circle that I cant see being rectified anytime soon. I mean they're using a tax to repay the covid debt that'll be handed on to renters who'll then be given relief via Govco handouts, so robbing Peter to pay Paul essentially and so the wheel turns. The root of the problem is property prices but along with much of their voting constituents, they also have their noses in the trough so wont address it for fear of backlash and loss of wealth. So they do something to appear to fix a particular problem but just create or amplify another. Last edited by BENT_8; 24-05-2023 at 02:12 PM. |

Can't wait for our dan fan club locals to chime in, where is Franco and Boss?
![]() Old mate Charlie south americanised himself for a number of years, and unless I'm mistaken, he be a QLDer now. Don't think he has been a Vic since 20 BC, when he was running his BA GT ute at the Calder drag meets. Happy to be corrected. A bit of austerity is prudent in this environment. Again, the ones making all the noise are the AFF dan fans and/or don't live here. Broken record, every thread, every page. Us mexicans are all dumb, morons and head in the sand...blah blah blah. Turn it up!

![]() Well sorry to hear you had to stay in Vic, but thank you for your financial contributions. :P Don't stress. Listen to what the economists are saying, they are bullish, the folks at TCV know what they are doing....apparently, fixed a lot of the long term loans, and investors are still putting money into the treasury bonds. Back to black in 3 years. Giddy up!

NZ cash rate at 5.5% now...and a lower inflation rate than Australia (6.7 Vs 7.0)
40% of people in some surveys are reporting a drop in disposable income. Good times are a coming...bag of popcorn on hand.... ![]()

I believe Govcos (Vic) next brainwave will be capped rent prices… Dan was asked this yesterday and as usual.. No straight answer! Which in my book says.. YES
Damn good at playing politics aren’t they? He attacks where he knows he’ll get a bit of sympathy from the unhoused masses. How ‘bout Capped energy prices? Capped petrol pricing, Capped supermarket pricing? Ohh NOOO… Why tackle the almighty corporates, when he can pulverise the Mum & Dad investors?

Ive said it before and I'll say it again. There is an attack on the middle class. The idea is to remove that class and force them with the poorer class so that the gap to the more richer/elites will be so big, that it won't give anyone incentive to strive harder. (Ultimate removal of the Capitalist system). Rather, become just another dependent on the Government purse, own nothing and do as you are told like a good little pleb.

Don't have a problem with the rich, middle class mum and Pop property investors as long as they are not milking Govco tax breaks at the expense of everyone else.
The amount of "investors" buying new homes under the first home buyers grants were amazing. Mum and Pop buying houses and claiming them under little Johnny's name was amazing a few years back. https://www.domain.com.au/news/inves...170822-gy1l0c/ Make your own money spend it how you wish.

Typically I'd say, follow what the pollies do e.g. family trusts etc. Check out this list of federal MPs and the number of investment properties they own. https://www.miragenews.com/ranked-ho...ralian-545566/ And here is the list for Vic MPs. Look at the 2 Davids at the top ![]() https://www.theage.com.au/politics/v...14-p5ckg1.html Might give us a clue who might do what in terms of policies ![]() IMHO rental cap is not a question of if, but when. ACT already has some form of soft cap in place. WA and QLD already talking about it. Is it a bad thing? Haven't made up my mind yet.

I saw a six bedroom home go for stupid money at auction earlier today. Two groups of middle eastern people trying to outbid each other. They will probably stuff three families into that place.

As for the family trusts. We'll see how iron clad they are if/when the UN do step in. I know there will be a number who will say my tin foil hat is too tight on my head but I think we on the brink of a complete collapse of the world economy.

IIJM or are other people looking at the “hat factory fire” in Sydney and seeing tens of thousands in re-usable bricks? While everyone bleats about materials costs…
