Howard vs Rudd

[Bravotwozero]

im just gonna say my 2 cents here. My father paid $45,000 for a house in Edwardstown (fairly wealthy area for SA) under a labor government with a 25% intrest rate. The intrest in that house alone was $11250. That house was recently sold for $300,000 mark which at 6% intrest is $18,000. Yes inflation occurs but not at the rate of this. Low intrest rates have allowed house prices to skyrocket and so people are spending more then they were under a labor government on repaying intrest alone....As for the IR laws 4 of my friends fathers/mothers have got the sack and now are relying on centrelink for money as these days its fairly hard for 50 + years people to get a job in this country...Thankyou Mr. Howard, Costello and all the other liers in this so called democracy. So much for a fair nation

Geez can't win. People bitch when the interest rates are high and people bitch when they're at record lows.

Well it seems people like rudd, which means you like labour i guess.
You're not voting for one man, you're voting for the party, either side could change leaders at any time so based on that, i think liberal will do a better job managing the econemy and general running of the joint than labour.
My 2 cents...

pull your head out of the sand. do you think if interest rates were higher that house prices wouldn't increase? supply and demand buddy. even if interest rates were still 25% that house would still sell for well over $200k. Thats over $50k interest. if someone can't afford a 0.5% increase in interest then they have over borrowed in the first place. too many people want the big mansion or dream house straight off the bat. be realistic people, you may never have your dream house. be content to have a DECENT house. there's more to life then having a bigger house then the neighbour. i got realistic and realised i'd never afford a house on the coast so i moved bush where nice homes are half the price. if more people did my thing then city prices will come down. you'll notice a drop in several years as more people retire and sell, the market will be flooded and they won't be able to sell them. if you bought at the peak of the boom then IMO you're an idiot, you should have thought about the repayments and what you can afford.

You like to bitch and moan a lot. Seems the only people who are worried about the new IR laws are the ones that have something to hide. If you need to hide behind a union or government legislation to secure a decent wage and job security, you need to take a good hard look at yourself.
.

last time i checked this was a forum and i was voiceing my opinion and i dont have anything to hide

These things should not be a god given right. If you want a decent wage, get a decent job. But no doubt you dropped out of school in year 10, no skills and expect 80k a year. The government isn't there to line your pockets. If you want better in life stop ya bitching and do something about it. And that goes for anybody who wants to cry about minimum wage.

i have a decent job i finnished year 12 i have a trade behinde me and i earn a 6 figure salary i just want to protect what i already have.They should have let the people make the choice and let us vote on it.
