    To avoid massive tax here you have to have an investment property. Most people do -even people of less than average income. This further props up the market.

    In the nice areas - prices keep going up. There is a lot of money in Sydney - you wanna see how some people live here. It's unbelievable (not me - I live like Rigsby).
    I've seen it aussie, we keep going back, thinking of having a stab at living there, especially given my 'skillset' is heavily invested in there. But having nearly got completely out of property here, but still nervously holding one property that will not sell, I am a tad concerned about diving into the market there again.

    Bit of a worry really

      Who'd have thought that Australia would finally embrace the whole Lollipop Man/Woman thing quite so heartily?
      Go on ZM, take the plunge. The place is already full of weird mammals anyway, one more won't make any odds.

        Laughing at yourself Shaunnyboy and dragging that 'oh now you must be a lollipop man' straight from your sachel.

        Honestly son, I fear for your offspring if you are the 1 in 10,000 swimmers that got through

          For clarity, laughing at YOU, and including the smilies because they clearly irk you so much.
          And keeping the level of insult to an altitude that won't pass too far over your sloping, heavily-pronounced forehead.

                Try just using one hoof to type with. And clear some of the froth from the keyboard too.
