RE superannuation the checkout did a segment recently on funds which is worth the ten mins if you want to choose your own. Phone posting or id link Housing can/will soften, but a crash would probably come if/when we have a major recession. Best hope the libs don't get near the government then either, imagine what they'd try and ram through if there was an actual economy meltdown to point too.

Pickled Tink posted:Well, I just got back from my appointment with my JSA. They have decided that they are going to throw me into one of those in-house training courses, and my consultant let me read the course description thing. It was initially presented as a choice, but my consultant said he'd sign me up anyway. I posted a few days back on this very issue. It's exactly what they're doing. More people must have me on ignore than I thought.

Pope hits the hypocrisy button Also this is hilarious: quote:Clive Palmer says his Senate team is prepared to vote to block supply to prevent Treasurer Joe Hockey's $6 billion asset recycling fund, designed to pay state governments to privatise assets. Joe's new idea is essentially copying the American trick of adding riders to appropriation bills in the hope that they get passed wholesale by the Senate. This is like a child's idea of how government works: the Senate is perfectly capable of rejecting the amendments and not the appropriations and no matter how many times Joe cries "blocking Supply!", the Senate is not required to pass legislation that's unrelated.

quote:Tonight I wanted to address why the Australians are here. There are two reasons why we are here and I will go through them momentarily. But firstly I should say good friends visits their friends in tough times. It is easy to visit your friends when things are going well. Fair-weather friends who come and go when things are on the up and up are easy to come by. Friends who come when times are tough – they are the real friends.

IDK if Joe remembers much from his law school days, but isn't it slightly unconstitutional to add riders to appropriation bills? It's been like 4 years since I did Constitutional law but I seem to remember something like that.

In the Minister for Justices speech he seems to refer to "new" psychoactive substances. So I guess all existing ones are okay? quote:It will be up to a person whose goods have been seized on suspicion of being a new psychoactive substance to show why they should be returned to them. If an importer cannot do this—for example, by showing that the goods have a legitimate use—their goods will be destroyed.

Momentum Energy are pretty good, and they have a scheme where you can pay a little extra in order to offset your energy usage with hydro power purchased from Tasmania, along with existing wind.
