#OpalTower #Construction #Australia Opal Tower Residents are still waiting to access the homes, with over half of the buildings dwellings still uninhabitable since Christmas. While we need to look at legislation and regulation the best advice for consumers would be to not buy off the plan and wait. Don’t pre-purchase your home. HeiseSays Video’s Reference […]
#AusPol #Budget #Housing It appears that the Melbourne housing price crash has left a huge hole in the Victorian State Budget. While the natural response for a Labor government is to increase taxes, I am concerned that they didn’t foresee this issue.

#ElizabethQuayTower #Defects #Construction The luxury Elizabeth Quay Tower in Perth is plagued with defects with one $2million apartment having 200 alone. While Mark Gibson tries to make a tenuous link to Opal Tower this is more a lesson of the dangers associated with buying off the plan and residential tower developer. A premium price does […]

AusPOL #Recession #Australia I discuss five way’s people can prepare for the impending recession in Australia, with a bonus sixth way tacked onto the end of my video. Difficult times are not insurmountable and can be character building.
#AusPol #Recession #Election2019 Bill Shorten is making promises to casual workers to provide them with a smoother pathway to permanent positions. Sounds great but might end up hurting more than helping. I would prefer more support for small businesses or addressing the issues of labour-hire companies. Where people employed are de-facto employees of a third […]
£AusPol #Recession #Election2019 Australia’s inflation rate was 0 for the last quarter and our GDP growth was only 0.2% and is trending down.
