Are there any passive home builders in Melbourne?

Total Americanization of Medicare is under way. The irony of people not being able to go to the doctor unless they can afford to pay into the biggest medical research fund in the world is lost on these pollies. Australia is just 1/350 of the world's population, why do we have to fund such a large research fund anyway, that will mostly benefit international pharma companies? The cost of people not going to the doctor is going to be very expensive in the long term.

There is some confusion about debt. Government Debt was pretty stable until 2008 when it suddenly from under $100bn to $430bn in 2013 (now stands at $21,000 per head of population). The link below is a good guide to what is roughly happening. http://www.australiandebtclock.com.au The real news is that Total Australian Debt is close to $4.8 trillion at present, up from about $1.5 trillion in the early noughties, that equates to $212,0000 per head of population. Politics aside, all debt needs to be reigned in, we deal with it now in a sensible manner or just weight until the bubble bursts.

You broke the law by wearing no helmet, but the method of accumulating fines thereafter seems wrong. Don't know your whole story but the Police should have stopped you immediately for the first offense, rather than endangering your life by allowing you to travel further on a bike with no helmet, presuming that you would go on to commit further revenue raising offenses. Seek legal advice.

Nigella has admitted under oath to being a class A user, not much else US authorities can do but cancel her visa. Yes many celebs do drugs, but they have been fortunate in never having to publically admit it in a court of law.

1. At present mortgages are in the 5% range. Does anyone recommend a realistic percentage where interest rates on mortgages could rise to say in the next say 10 years? Is 7% about to be expected or could it ever reach say 10%? 2. Also what is the monthly cost of mortgage life insurance that pays your mortgage off in full the event the mortgagee dies? 3. One final question, what is the maximum after tax salary percentage that one would recommend using to pay down a monthly mortgage?

There is a general indifference to lightning in OZ. I have seen sport teams continue training or playing a game even when bolt lightning is around them. Maybe nobody wants to be seen to be the first person to stop, however there is a real chance that some day a player or group of players are going to come off worse if they ignore the risk.

The difference between the UK and OZ is not the outside weather, it's the inside temperature of houses. Even new builds normally come with a single split air conditioning/heating system in the living area. The rest of the house will then reflect the outside temperature(+ or -) depending on the time of year, so can feel like it's freezing in winter and hot in summer. In winter leather shoes/ goods can get a white fur on them and clothes tend to get damp(from the lack of heat). There is absolutely no reason not to have well insulated temperature controlled houses in OZ. However very high land values and expensive labour rates allow for cheap structures/materials in building. That's not a complaint, just the way it is.

The big frustration with CarSales is that it can be very difficult to find out the name of the car dealer selling a specific car unless you hand over your details via a phone call or entering your contact details. That applies for each and every car you want to view. Also you cant see a dealers inventory either. Better off going direct to dealership websites and seeing complete inventories in your local area. Check your local newspapers for special offers as well.

Turns out Indonesia was spying on Australian officials as well. Only Abbott has the balls to stick it to Indonesia, a leader needs to be strong and non-apologetic for something that all sides are doing. Enough with all the years of faux tolerance by Labour, it's refreshing to see a Abott as a leader being patriotic and doing his elected duty. He needs to get tougher with Indonesia as they are directly allowing their country being used as a launch pad of illegal activities into Australian waters and allowing so many people to their watery graves in death boats. Now is not the time to be spineless.

"If my telephone was intercepted when I was Prime Minister, all that anybody would have heard would have been praise for president Obama," Gillard said. A breach of Australian national security, potential loss of national competitiveness and direct access to both public & private confidential information is met by such a birdbrained response. The mind boggles.
