And who are you snigger at Octogenarians of this Country ?. They were born in the 1930/1940s with the world engaged in WW2. After that they put the head down , worked the butt off to improve their lot, their children's future & Australia's future. They did it hard compared to today's lot. They put with high 15% Interest Rates & assholes like Keating. The people who benefitted from these Octogenarian's toil besides Australia, are their son daughters grand kids which you are most likely are & you snigger at them. What are you doing on this site ?.

Never sniggered at anyone except you ya weirdo.

The old, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story !!!!

House prices exploded after John Howard introduced the first home buyers grant.

"The average Australian in 1984 could buy a home that cost 3.3 times their annual income. In 2023, it's 10 times what the average person earns in a year."





"As in the previous election campaign, John Howard continues to remind voters of his financial management credibility. Mr Howard recently warned Australian taxpayers that with the forecast of financial bad times to come, the Liberals as an experienced team are the most suitable to govern Australia for another term.
During the last election campaign, on August 30, 2004, Mr Howard was interviewed by Steve Liebmann on Channel Nine's Today show and said, "Everybody knows that if the interest rates that prevailed when Paul Keating was prime minister prevailed now the average Australian would be paying hundreds of dollars more a month on their mortgage bill. Now that is not a scare tactic, it is a fact. They went up under Whitlam, they went up under Keating, they went up under Hawke."
Anybody who cares to look at the Reserve Bank's records of government interest rates from the past few decades would find very different results. What John Howard did not want to admit then, and still continues to hide, is that when he was the treasurer in the Fraser government the interest rate was as high as 21.4 per cent - in April 1982. To use Mr Howard's own words "that is not a scare tactic, it is a fact".

The highest interest rates from 1982 were: Fraser government (when Mr Howard was treasurer), 21.4 per cent in April 1982; Hawke government, 19 per cent in December 1985 and Keating government, 7.9 per cent in December 1994.
The Liberal Party website during the 2004 election campaign also showed "interest rates under Labor" under Mr Whitlam as 10.38 per cent, under Mr Hawke at 17 per cent and under Mr Keating at 12 per cent. However, the rates shown were the "housing rates" and one important fact left out was that the housing rate under Mr Fraser, when Mr Howard was the treasurer, was 13 per cent - higher than under both Mr Whitlam and Mr Keating."

So Tiga's argument seems to be that Jack Dyer, Lou the Lip and a bunch of senior octogenarians on Facebook might be against it..

If Jack Lou born between 1930/1970 it would be most likely they would vote Nay. It is a Generation thing. We think differently from your Gen if you are in later than the Post War/ Boomers 1 & 2 Gens. They have Polls & latest Yea vote was 53% down from 58%. I have just spent over two weeks in Maroochydore , Bundaberg , Gold Coast & Adelaide with family (nephews nieces now in their fifties ) & ex Navy mates. The subject was not discussed at length but it was all Nay.
 
Most of the people I know were born in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, not much discussion, all voting yes . . . your point?

Younger folk I work with, all yes as well.

We'll see what happens when the campaign starts, but remember, baby boomers are no longer the largest group of voters, they have lost their grip on being the most important generation in the electorate, their time is passing.

See do gooders Naarm & Walyebrup playing this weekend. How long before Richmond Football Club switch to Birrarung. I suppose Australia will always remain Australia as there appears the inhabitants before Cookie arrived had no collective name for it .
 
Ant/Baloo as you are such a upstanding erudite mortals you should know this " What was AUSTRALIA's collective name by the Inhabitants before COOKIE then First Fleet Armada arrived " ?

You're flailing now old man. You should get back to the safety and comfort of your Advance Australia news feeds and leave the adulting to those with their wits still about them.

That is so dumb, sorry TM, that’s like saying to all the tribes in Europe questioning why they don’t all speak the same language of fly the same flag. Lift your game
