#GetWokeGoBroke #HandsomeHer
The Handsome Her Cafe in Melbourne who made headlines in 2017 for charging men a premium to fight the gender pay gap is closing down. It appears that the identity politics of the left are once again eating their own.

#VeganActivism #Environmentalism #KangarooCulling
Newly elected NSW Legislative Assembly member Emma Hurst wants to ban egg production from Australia, give Kangaroos Contraceptives and represent the animals (who didn’t vote for her). This is why we need to have voluntary voting because people are obviously making decisions based on their emotions and feeling happy.

#VeganActivism #Environmentalism #CarbonOffset
Today we look at the claims that a Vegan diet is good for the environment and find that a year’s worth of veganism is equal to two cups of coffee. We then look at some Carbon Offset projects in Australia and I am surprised at the lack of innovation.

Vegan activists have staged protests in several cities throughout Australia, further cementing public frustration, all because they wanted everyone to watch a documentary.

#MortgageRepayments #PriceCrash #Housing
Interest only mortgages repayment periods are steadily ending with many predicted to finish by 2020. Do you think this will have an impact on the housing crash? Are people really so fullish to have not planned for this?

#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?

#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.

#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?

#Banking #Housing #HousingCrash
I look at a recent AFR article in which Westpac CEO Brian Hartzer claims that banks are not to blame for the housing crash. Seemingly ignoring recent evidence from Melbourne land sales.

I look at a recent article in the Herald Sun about Banks changing lending criteria killing new housing projects. Which seems to disagree with recent comments from the RBA.
Banks short-change buyers, force lots of land back up for sale
