In the episode of Minor Matters, we have some fun and look at One Nations website from 1997 because
#AusPol #PriceCrash #Housing
I look at a recent article from MacroBusiness comparing Australia’s housing crash to those in USA, UK, Ireland and Spain. Then I look at another perspective from Wolf Street. Is the GFC finally catching up with Australia?

#NewZealand #GunBan #WeaponBan
The leader of the Mongrel Mob in New Zealand has publicly stated that his members would not be surrendering their now illegal weapons, surprising no-one. I also compare some of the gun laws in different countries and am surprised to learn that Australia is nearly as strict as North Korea.

#Huggies #ClosingDown #AustralianEconomy
Kimberly Clark is closing down their Huggies Factory in Australia and is moving their manufacturing to Asia. Not because of cheaper wages, but in order to access the latest technology and research. We look at the original article from seven and then examine the economic complexity of nappies and the Australia economy. How can we be the innovation nation when we can’t even manufacture nappies?

#CBUS #CollinsArch #PrecastIssues
Work has been halted on CBUS’s Collins Arch project at 447 Collins Street in Melbourne because of Pre-Cast Column issues. Given recent events at Opal Tower, it is not surprising that people are concerned.

#MRA #ChildSupport #Feminism
I look at an article about an Arizona Judge’s ruling that allows a woman to use her exes sperm to get pregnant, essentially forcing him into fatherhood and child support. Even the fact that she blackmailed him into donating his seed isn’t taken into account.

#AusPol #PriceCrash #Housing
Experts are predicting continued housing price declines in Sydney and Melbourne with a $60,000 drop in Sydney. How can experts think any rate drop will have any impact at the moment?

#FacebookBan #Discrimination #FacebookPolicy
Facebook has changed its policy to ban White Nationalism and White Separatism, but will not ban Black Nationalism or Separatism or other similar race or ethnic based groups. So it looks like Facebook is discriminating again people based on their race.
