  1. Not pretty, and the same across the nation. https://www.9news.com.au/national/nsw-emergency-departments-ambulances-still-struggling-to-meet-targets-report-finds/48575660-d42f-4758-9da6-a5a0a14440a7
  2. Realizing a profit from the roof over one's head only ever happens when you sell the roof over your head, then, you have to buy back into the same market. It's not always a good idea to flip a property that you have been living in, just because it's gone up in value.
  3. History has proven proven property increases in value over the long term. The same can not be said for stock. Some stocks go to worthless, and the company goes bust, and is dissolved. Not the same same as property.
  4. You are the one who mentioned the UN. I do not like the fact that the UN gets some of my tax money. They do nothing except press conferences say how they "condemn this and condemn that" without ever taking any action. Getting back on topic, perhaps a youtuber could make a video clip on the UN's failure as an organization.
  5. The UN not doing much for the Ukrainians and Palestinians, are they?
  6. I agree. However, Australian's had their chance to vote for Bill Shorten and a winding back of negative gearing. Shorten basically lost an election he could lose. Even if you didn't like Shorten, the policy to wind back negative gearing was appropriate. In the last couple of years, people are calling change, but too late. They had their change and voted against it. No political party will go to an election on a negative gearing change in the foreseeable future. Seems like too many Aussies are on the negative gearing gravy train, and it's making for a very unequal Australian society. Something will have to give eventually, and it isn't going to be pretty when that time comes.
  7. As I just posted, property over the long term has been proven to increase in value. However, that's not what the member said. He basically said, "you can never lose" and I disagree with that. As you have said, sometimes, for some reasons, property can take a "big dip" and some people lose.
  8. You graph proves my point. See years 2009 and 2011? Prices dropped. You said this: "Unless you are inside trading, then land & RE are never losers" Your own graph shows this as incorrect. If you said words like, "over the long term, property only gains in value" or similar, I would have agreed, but you said "property never losers" and that's incorrect.
  9. It will take western countries a while to catch up to Thailand.
  10. I guess you never studied how Thailand profited from the Vietnam war.
  11. Did he also say he might not have a job after the election?
  12. Did the amount paid / withdrawn / withheld have a name? Did you ask Bangkok Bang about it?
  13. Not hard for them to compel banks to report annual remittance over the threshold to the TRD. In Australia, every transaction over $10,000AUD is reported to AUSTRAC, a government agency.
  14. Australia can't afford for the housing bubble to burst. The government has to keep pouring fuel on that fire. Remember what happened in America in 2008, it would be worse in Australia. For Aussie expats in Thailand, you would be lucky to get 15 baht for $1AUD.
  15. Back up your data and reset the computer. Start with a clean slate.
  16. Ok, so, next question is, How did the "little mark on the screen" get there? Does it have a SSD or HDD?
  17. Youtube have been underpaying content creators for years. A members only section for payment is a way they can actually get paid for making their content. There's nothing wrong with paying a little for content that is helpful, or of interest to you. It supports the content creator.
  18. Is it any different to an android box that you could have bought in Thailand?
  19. Alcohol is taxed twice a year in Australia, so it has a compounding effect. As we are seeing with cigarettes, a black market flourishing, eventually, we will see the same with alcohol. Aussies could very well end up buying, and consuming, backyard distilled Lao Khao in the future.
  20. Spinning fast as every day passes. http://australiandebtclock.com.au How can a country with such an abundance be so badly mismanaged and in so much debt?
  21. For what it's worth, the word "pension" is used to describe monthly income generated by a super fund, but in many cases it's actually an "annuity." Therefore, using the word "pension" for these payments can be incorrect.
