@DaveSharma These are the same companies that earn billions in Net Interest margins AND:
A. Close branches after making their branch experiences ridiculously difficult
B. Fail to compete and help their existing customers with the lowest rates
C. Got govt supported deposits for poor practice

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@AdamKerrBell Rubbish. Just play Green as a batter. Webster as an allrounder. It’s a perspective switch required by all supporters and commentators. Steve Waugh stopped the dual roles about this time in his career.

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@beastieboy07 He gave them both to the others.

@TMFScottP Should be an equity stake… if they need a bailout

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@AvidCommentator But haven’t you heard? If we don’t pay exorbitant wages for Australian CEOs we’ll have no one of quality left?!?!

And those lower paid CEOs may end up stuffing up their portfolios much less for much less cost!

That would be the end of neoliberal civilisation!

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@AvidCommentator They can’t ask retirees to stop discretionary spending money either….

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@Batman2242 @AustralianLabor Only voted for Labor in the lower house. Now have a battery that cost 1/3 of the original price, my electricity bill is now 1/10 of what it was.

I have lower taxes on my income.

@TheKouk @MichaelPascoe01 He’s just tweeting the LNP media “talking points”.

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@GregMcgarvie @Dazzaat If only they’d have the same courage against gambling- then that would be a good term

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@Dazzaat He’s right (I’m a home owner)

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@Potstirrer111 @cmkusher Exactly. I would suggest discretionary spending is focused on teens-22 living at home and those retired.

@Adam_Creighton Did he know anyone that could give it a spruce/paint? That’s what Dulux advertised would improve the house value…🤔🤔🤔

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@asxpeasant @doors2mj @CastlEconomics They may want to get into new construction builds and be more productive?

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@baobei2000 @ausstockchick Yep. And also encourage prefab building systems that can be slotted together.

Also remember to kill off the BS NIMBY argument “changes the nature of the area”.

Also “heritage” - Leave one per city or take a picture. Anyone that claims “heritage buildings” need to travel O//S

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@Alex04109778 @tompanos With investment shifting to new, in order to be cost effective investors will demand better construction methods. There will be a lag.

Can’t improve productivity in 80% of jobs in services without downsides. Double teacher productivity? Double class sizes? Won’t be doable.

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@tompanos Failed for auctioneers isn’t a failure of policy…

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@TMFScottP My classes were discussing a similar misconception when discussing Cash rate increases.

Increases of CR isn’t an increase in cost of living, it’s an increased cash outflow to a loan, rather than costs of Consumption (as defined by the AD models and CPI basket).

Was a good chat

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@yupitchris @TMFScottP The government doesn’t enforce laws - it’s the policing service and then the courts’ to judge.

[RobBris @Brisk74B]

@yupitchris @TMFScottP The courts. If the contents of the speech could “reasonably be used to incite…” is the test for hate speech. It’s up to the DPP, then courts to decide.
