Other than self interest crap and ABC rubbish where is the objective data ?

FYI there will always be a certain % below the poverty line and it will move around .... so what ?

So,

Why bother saying what we already know?

You truly are a f head are not you brother? Cheesy


As opposed to you I prefer facts and figures not BS but please do carry on Trollboy.

Yeah
Remember when the grubberment privatised the exercise to save us money and effort?
Now we have to go to three places instead of one.
ONE for an exorbabent third party insurance
One for the prego check
One for the worthless prego, which is nothing but cash for nothing.

Oh and I almost forgot stamp duty
I bought my wife a new car two weeks ago.
Stamp duty well over $1500.
For what I asked the lady behind the counter
To register your car in your name.
But what do I get for my money
Your car registered in your name

In other words.....Nuffink
Just the grubberment doing what it does best........thievery

More Aussies should move to the bush. Council rates are only 100s of dollars, not 1000s, mine is $370/year for house on residential block

Greenslips are cheaper in the bush than in the big cities

Water is cheap - no cost at all if you have a tank with auto pump



Yep - I might move out of the big city - I'm getting fed up with the big prices for everything.

Where's Grap when you need him??

Grap, Grap, Grap, Grap.....


Unlike the VC - I'm not everywhere....

As long as we are forced to endure this farce of 'privatised' utilities and insurance companies desperately 'needing' to procure billions for their major shareholders and their boards and other parasites - such things as cost of living are always going to outdistance incomes by many a country mile and accelerating..

As long as the corporations that offshore profits and pay no taxes here are allowed to continue to do so,and to operate in some mythical fairyland of a 'global economy', which is just another way of saying they will sit offshore and set prices here while not paying their way, the same will continue to apply.

This is all part of The Big Plan to reduce the populace under the despotism of permanent fear of poverty, which offers unto the self-appointed 'ruling classes' every opportunity to exploit those who must tremble in fear at their shadow passing over them.

What this country needs is a good management massacre wrought by a DEE - Disgruntled Ex Employee... we need some good old Murikan solutions here sometimes... one such event would change the face of industrial relations here unto eternity.... and bring the boss class to heel where they properly belong since they are so much lower than arseholes.......

Then the Revolutionary Committee and the Underground Movement could move on to a few judges etc, and politicians who step out of line.... pour encourager les autres....

All those found guilty of treason will be punished on The Hook....

Too many people consider drugs, gambling, alcohol and cigs to be essentials


Absolutely, poker machines make more revenue in lower income areas not sure on the other vices v income but if you are struggling to pay your bills cutting cigs and booze is a no brainer. As for drugs ..... not even worth discussing as they are illegal.


A new form of bread and circuses.... put a car race on in a city..... put in a few more pokies.... make the peasants desperate so they'll chance their little money on a big win... drown their sorrows in cheap liquor
(we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine)
and cheap sex .... smoke their lungs out in a desperate attempt to part this mortal sphere more quickly.... drug their minds until they can no longer string two thought bubbles together.... tattoo yourself to the max so people will mistake your puny little skagger ass with the bad skin for a famous footballer or a Veteran of Afghanistan or similar.... watch Rambo and Bruce Lee repeats and figure out how great you are in the fight against injustice etc....

Of course the biggest payoff is if you sell your city house for x amount, a country house will be x minus a half that amount approximately

Houses in the country can range from 180k to 2million, choose carefully after researching everything else, about rates, distance to nearest town, water supply, condition of roads, flooding, mail delivery etc etc

To lower cost of living, the best situation is out of town but not too far. That will get rate cost and other govt costs down as much as possible

It goes like this; The more govt "luxuries", the more you pay - The less govt "luxuries", the less you pay

Where I live there is no "luxuries" at all, the roads are bad and dirt roads at that, there is no street lighting in the village to speak about, the Council doesn't cut the grass, there is no sewage, no stormwater drainage, no footpaths .... so my rates are very low

You need to work out what luxuries you want, then ask the local council what the rates are in that location. If you choose to live right in a country town, expect the rates to be higher than in the bush

Remember though, that rego and the towing levy, if you have that in Vic, will be the same as the city. But greenslips are cheaper by about $50-$100

Food is dearer, but work on your diet, don't pig on stuff

Drive a fuel efficient vehicle, I drive a diesel, the cost is minimal, hardly notice it, just pocket change
