“[The] latest ABS data shows that 50% of apartment owners live in four storeys or higher and the Government is basically leaving them stranded often with debts over $1 million,” said Australian Apartment Advocacy (AAA) head, Samantha Reece.

 

 

The survey of 1,100 apartment owners, nationally, who live in apartments over three storeys also showed that one in three buyers (34%) have seen the original builder go broke in the last 12 months, meaning there is no protection against defects and leaving the buyer to pay, instead of the original builder.

One in five new apartment owners reported defective fireproofing, three out of ten structural cracking, one in three experienced waterproofing issues, and a massive two in three had water penetration from outside.

I am dumber than our house.

In the past 10 years I have risen before dawn to produce early-morning radio, sliding outside in the darkness while trying not to wake our sleeping children.

As they’ve grown, I’ve kept working, juggling the rhythms of family life with the demands of live television, often only returning in the dark in time to help with bath time and bed.

My house isn’t that stupid. It just sits there.

 

In the decade we've lived here, our house has likely increased as much or more in value than I have earned in income.

I’m not poorly paid, but I am out-earned, consistently, by a construction of brick and wood — and, more importantly, the land it sits on — that just keeps getting more valuable as it ages and Melbourne's population grows.

 

Around the time my wife and I bought our house in an inner suburb of Melbourne, the US-based singer and his wife Chrissy Teigen were selling theirs.

 

We are similar in age and we've attended the same gigs a few times, but apart from that we don't have a lot in common.

 

I work for the ABC in Melbourne. He's sold millions of records and has an Elvis-like residency at a Las Vegas casino. The best tickets, including a private performance and a photo, cost $US1,000 ($1,438).

 

His fully renovated 600-square-metre three-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles had a recording studio, manicured garden and a hot tub. Plenty of space to store the nine Grammy awards he had back then. The home was featured in Architectural Digest and eventually sold for just under $US2 million.

 

But at the same time, houses in the suburb I'd just bought in — with an extra bedroom, perhaps a garden or garage, items our house lacks — were selling for the same amount of Australian dollars.

 

His house had a commanding view and an outdoor bathtub. Ours looks over a factory. And both my house and the then-flash $2-million ones in our suburb are just a few blocks from the headquarters of a motorcycle gang.

 

So what's going on?

 

He's won an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award) and is a judge on The Voice.

 

I'm a public servant in Melbourne.

 

Why were we playing in the same sandpit?

Cheers and beers: PM receives rock star reception at Gang of Youths concert

...

One attendee told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that Albanese and his partner Jodie Haydon barely had chance to take their seats before the audience spotted him with his beer and cheered him on to finish it.

 

Wearing a Joy Division shirt, the Prime Minister sunk a schooner while the crowd chanted “Here’s to Albo”. After finishing his beer, he gave the crowd a wave, and sat down to enjoy the concert, held in his electorate of Grayndler.

 

Another attendee said that Albanese was spotted as soon as he took his seat, leading to cheers from the crowd. He responded by waving, and obliged in response to crowd demands to drink his beer.

Idemo, vladavina prava i pravna država. Demokracija i ljucka prava. Sve se cakli.

Hundreds of PM’s appointments must be “reviewed”: Ombudsman

 key officials have been illegally appointed to multiple jobs.
 
former Prime Minister secretly appointed himself to five ministries, including Treasury and Finance.
 
Those secret appointments meant Morrison was in charge of each of the four departments and agencies that officially received the Ombudsman’s secret report.
 
Ovo ni Tito ni Staljin nisu radili.

Tako je. Kukaj o plutokratama koji izrabljuju radnu snagu dok sanjaš kako sam izrabljuješ sirotinju kao poslugu jer ih na Tajlandu možeš priuštiti.

 

Zavaravaš se. Otkud ti to da će mu ikad pasti na pamet da uživa u životu?

Ne treba meni posluga na Tajlandu, ima tazbine ihahaj, ne fali ko može da pricuva decu ili da nešto skuva.

 

A dadilja kad imas malo dete je toliko korisna suvim zlatom da je platis. U Aziji ekspati redovno zapošljavaju dadilje dok na Zapadu to mogu samo plutokrate da priušte.
