Ah! I misunderstood your message. I thought you meant something about AC specifically wouldn't work. I don't have a Vornado, just a…

It's just such a shame that the numbers you linked support that story exactly isn't it?

Wait why wouldn't ac with with a smart power outlet? Mine does.

Someone needs to learn about reading numbers through the noise. I know we all want to forget COVID happened, but it did.

Cool cool. Thought it might be that one. It's the same website that shows that if you average net migration between the start of COVID-19…

Cite your figures, but most importantly share your policy changes that generated that difference. Migration isn't a tap that the government…

Lmao. The current Labor government has been in power for just over one term and Labor has been in power just 10 of the last 30 years. The…

The majority of my claims were made against my ANZ FF Black, but I also recently claimed against my St George Platinum. No problems with…

I've done a comparison every time I've gone overseas, and my credit card insurance is either equal or superior to anything but the most…

Opening promos are extremely common. I've found them consistently competitive with other car parks. The flexibility is excellent when you…

Lol at your two comments. I thought I was brainwashed and not worth conversing with? FWIW I am 100% in favour of increasing our resource…

This demonstrates astounding ignorance. The government have repeatedly shown themselves to be wildly inefficient at running businesses.…

Yeah government run businesses are always super profitable. They're known for it.

The gas isn't "given away for free". The gas is useless until it's taken out of the ground, and the government isn't in the business of gas…

Just want to say I appreciate you trying to cut through the knee jerk cynical nonsense you see so often on here. It's a tough battle, but…

Yep. On the odd occasion I have found a good deal on Qantas Hotels when there's a specific special on a hotel and you account for the…

I'm prima facie skeptical of bailing out companies who made bad decisions. It sounds like nobody wants the apartments. If that's the case,…

I don't have a subscription but the article says hundreds. And you don't really need to incentivise, the market does that. If apartments…

That's fair. He paused the "reciprocal" tariffs for everyone except China which has 145% on it. The 10% universal tariff also still applies…

Couldn't agree more. Any company that bends the knee to the authoritarian orange man is off my list.

I agree infrastructure hasn't kept up, although that's a multi-decade issue in Australian cities. No one government can come in and fix the…

The tariffs are on. Consoles weren't even excluded by the 'exception'/'non-exception' on smartphones, computers etc.

I've explained why you might still see prices increase in my comments below. I'm not saying it will happen, just that it is a plausible…

I suspect it will hurt them a bit in other markets, but they still might do it. They might do it for the politics. They might do it just to…

Yep. Same with Sony probably. A lot of big companies who think they can get away with it will spread the pain as much as possible. In part…

Absolutely you will. But if you're a company like Apple, or another company with very little constraining you, it still might be better to…

Yes, I understand that. But the economics of taxation mean that how much of a tax the end user actually pays will depend on elasticities…

Oh I see the distinction you mean. Nonetheless, the ability for the producer to pass on that tariff to the consumer depends on the…

? There's a massive tariff to send your goods to the US now.

There's a small but not insignificant risk that some companies who can get away with it will try and spread the extra cost of being in the…
