:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Let me ease your burden mate, there is no need for you to feel sorry for me.

I agree with you when you say that Trump isn't in this to make money for himself, at least not totally. His major reason for being in this is that he is a narcissistic sociopath who believes that he knows everything and wants to go down in history as the greatest world leader ever. By the way...

Long term thinker 😂😂😂

Having said that, I imagine that all the Trump appointees probably do their trading in some backdoor underhand way that is difficult to track anyway. Being a shyster is a fundamental requirement to be a Trump appointee.

Who does the 45 day rule apply to? Presumably elected reps and cabinet members, which other hangers-on?

My team is playing at the Croatian club in Brisbane tomorrow night, so hopefully they might have some there for the post game feed.

In general, and depending on locations, etc, if those investors are renting out those houses then 38,000 more families/households will have a place to live, there will be less rental demand and so rents should fall.

You don't need to dabble in shares of individual companies and be exposed to company- or business-specific risks if you want to invest in the share market. In fact, unless you want to take the time to learn and monitor the markets so that your share investments are informed, then the best way to...

I'm not referring to the ownership of where you live, certainly an investment in your principal place of residence is a very good thing (and capital gains tax free! But unfortunately no negative gearing). The investment in real estate v shares is a debate which will go on for a long time.

Also, I accept that the capital gains tax discount is a factor in increasing house prices, but without doing a detailed analysis of data I suspect that the inability of the country to keep up the supply of housing stock to match population growth is probably a bigger factor. If the housing...

It's a discussion/debate mate, no need to shout. Genuine question here - I accept the fact that residential property purchases by foreign investors is low. Is a foreign investor (as referred to in the stats you quoted) the same as a temporary resident who purchases residential property? After a...

Whether it is funny or not is up to each individual. What is not debatable though is that the orange imbecile is now criticising as bad the same trade deal he called the best trade deal ever made.

Fully agree with you on the OS investors driving up the residential property prices. Not only that, in many cases these properties sit empty, or are not used as permanent housing, further exacerbating the problem.

Yeah, nah! I think that’s what a lot of American voters thought about Trump. And look where that got them.

It’s not clear why the last sentence is there and what it means with respect to other assets. “The changes only apply to investment properties.” This seems to contradict the earlier sentence about capital gains for other assets having cost bases indexed. Or are they going to continue to allow...

All the talk of cutting of negative gearing/capital gains only ever seems to relate to property, specifically residential property. I’m curious as to whether the Greens (in this instance) are also planning on including other investments such as commercial property, shares, etc in their...

Oh I agree, if you are going to get a replica shirt you want it to look as much like the genuine one as possible. I was just commenting on the yellow shade FA has chosen for the kit.

I reckon the shade of yellow is too light on the official shirt (not just from your pic, I've seen them in Rebel too). I much prefer the deeper yellow/gold that your knockoffs seem to be, based on your pics. Our colours are green and gold, not green and lemon.

Oh I understand what they are doing, and I know it is stupid and insane.

You truly think this shitshow will end up benefitting the American worker? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
