Don't take it too personally. Xenophobia is their second religion. I put a cat into their self righteousness when I suggested to the review of the Victorian Tenancy Act that tenants be entitled to a share of capital gains when they are realised. Naturally they ignored me. The Age recently reported that landlords in Victoria are costing taxpayers $6500 p.a. on average and throughout Australia it is $10,000.

@FrayedBear, i have to find the article in the age, it is so flabbergasting (ha! at last i landed this word).
putting a cat into someone's whatever i suppose means causing riot...?

@walklightly try reading some of these:
[mobile.abc.net.au]
How negative gearing replaced the great Australian dream and distorted the economy | Greg Jericho | Business | The Guardian [theguardian.com]
Positive plan to help housing affordability - Australian Labor Party [alp.org.au]
Sacred cow no more: what proposed changes to negative gearing really mean [theconversation.com]
I didn't refind the newspaper article which I read about a month ago at the chemist.

@walklightly "put a cat amongst the pigeons" or "a fox in the hen house" - mink were even worse.

@FrayedBear, from the commencement i saw through this scheme & am just surprised that not more people are in favour of an organised uprising.

@walklightly I believe that it only got close to it when they sacked Gough Whitlam back in the 70's. Colonialism and convict cringe and white guilt imo have a lot to do with it. Maudling affluence has also tended to dampen ardours.

@FrayedBear, & i can't even go to protest the latest mega development plan in west byron tomorrow - my foot won't allow it

@walklightly What happened to your foot?

@FrayedBear, i have a neuroma, on waiting list for surgery, but (due also to adjusting the position of foot to ease pain while walking) the condition is getting worse by the day now.

How did you get the cross out?
