Thats actually true… Only once have I been. It was ok, but, i didn’t realise how good mexican food is meant to be until I tried my local mexican place and was in the US to find out how it was meant to taste.

Not once since then 10 years ago has anyone mentioned Taco bell to me in any conversation.

Unrelated, also, it was a pity Hogs breath shut down (that place I genuinely enjoyed)…

I’m in Vic. Never said I was in US…

Just because I respond to US politics doesn’t mean I don’t keep track of it (because their shit flows down to people like Clive).

And there have been attack ads on TV about things being “woke” and the right wing is trying to scare people into thinking foreigners are responsible for all of our issues (whereas, a huge amount of the issues we have seem to be from meth junkies)

The environment bs that spread about solar and national parks is only just one of those mega shit policies from them. Their shitness is diverse

The environment isn’t even the worst part of these dipshits and their policies.

Many of those right wing dipshits are literally on TV claiming everything is woke, and that trans people are having a worse impact on Australia than the fact that big churches are a tax free business which are buying up real estate, and their pastors are getting busted for sexual abuse

Furthermore, nuclear is somehow more important than them making everyone feel unsafe and destroying their mental health.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone

What is an actual surprise is all the dickheads here in Australia still defending coal. Coal doesn’t benefit you in any way

The point is you can have both security and usability

If the guest loses the key too, it’s not an issue

I suspect people mainly use the lockboxes only because other people do

They stopped using them on construction sites specifically for that reason. You can just cut them off (or knock them off the wall), and open them at your leisure. Everyone hides the keys instead now.

Also, its just a stupid solution for AirBNB too, since anyone can easily clone the keys. You’re better off installing a lock that accepts pin numbers and you can change whenever a guest leaves

Probably the same people vandalizing everything with Nazi symbols during COVID and who flood the Internet whining about national parks

At least Trump was elected a few months before our election, so people can see what a piss-poor job he’s doing, and what a load of bollucks his promises were.

It looks like at least news.com.au in Australia has turned on him a bit (Sky news though is still out there brainwashing people 150% though to make up for it)

If anyone is stupid enough to vote libs (or even worse, clive), honestly, it’s an indication we need to spend more on education.

Even the crappiest Independents are more likely to be better.

Also, make sure you show up to vote with a list of who you want to vote for. There are a lot of shit parties out there with misleading names

Yep. I’m sure people will be jumping at the opportunity to give you cheap rent with no profit to them, absorb all of the property ownership risks and all the stress.

Unless the rental property is owned by the government, fuck all chance mate 😂

Everyone wants freedom to move around including me. But, this is the real world…

It sounds like you want the best of all worlds

If you want cheap rent and all that, the solution is to buy, not to rent

Yes, it requires more responsibility, but that’s life.

So what’s your solution then for rentals?

You complain if they put incentives to stop buying multiple properties and increase the availability to people who want to stop renting, you complain if they don’t?

Negative gearing mainly benefits wealthier people, and I know we had customers with 14+ houses they owned. They’re the main problem, because the more properties they buy, the bigger power they have over the market (monopolies).

There already is a first home owners grant which benefits first home buyers (I know, because I used it).

They need to add incentive for people to stop buying multiple properties, so more people can stop renting, and eliminating negative gearing could help with that.

Unless of course you’re complaining because you never want to buy?

As others have said, would be good to have it mandatory for investment properties (with less subsidy). But still not a bad thing to have it for property owners too. Every bit is needed… A better solution to rectify the rental situation is eliminate negative gearing.

That being said, I own my property and really looking forward to these changes. Home batteries were something I was considering (but was waiting for a rebate). I was also looking at new insulation too, as my neighbors have been f**king loud and there are too many dickheads on dirt bikes illegally traveling down my road (and wanted to reduce the noise in my house)

So, happy with these changes. If Greens can match them, I’ll be super happy with voting for them.
