Should Liberal win the next election, will Joy Banerji "assist the government in achieving some success" and "further their cause"?

A good politician should represent the people at large, not just to serve the Party. Will she be a good politician from her statement? You'll be the judge!

Property flat out

Commenting on “Property flat out”

Raw statistics data don't tell lies, but the manipulators of statistics are the culprits. For example, a property situated in MyStreet, MySuburb worth $500,000 was sold, demolished and a new building built on the original site at a construction cost say $500,000, plus other costs of $200,000 (furnishing) would bring total cost of the new property to $1.2 million

If the new property was sold for $1.5 million, the property price database would record the property at MyStreet at MySuburb was sold for $500,000 and now $1.5 million. Without the facts and figures, one will jump to a conclusion that the latest sale price is 3 times the previous, but in fact the seller made only $300,000 out of $1.2 million investment.

What if the sale price was $1.2 million? Not only the seller did not breakeven, but also made a loss on selling commission, and loss opportunity of say putting money on something that gives a better return.

Obviously if kravan49's daughter-in-law got paid for the routine, she better loved every minute of it.

The bloody Council keeps wasting public money for idiotic publicity:

1. Logo $240,000 plus probably million to change stationery anderelated expenses

2. New Year celebration $1.5 m

3. Flash mob $25,000 for 4 minutes

Robert Doyle and his team of alike, start doing something to make Melbourne a drunk-free, beggar-free and homeless-free city. You are a selfish and pathetic lot!
