Sydney is expensive, but what people spend their money on might surprise youIt's not the usual suspects of rising energy costs, tolls or petrol that are hitting the hip-pockets of New South Wales voters the hardest. $30 per week on electricity 😳😳😳 Really do we now? Because I live in Sydney and all I spend money on is rent, tax, bills and food. I try and put the tiny bit that’s left into savings so I can hopefully move from Sydney to buy a home - but that also will involve a complete career change 🙄 Hmmm. Not much effort required to poke holes in this crpy article. International holidays! Really? 3% of $60k is $1800. Where will that take you? 3% of $200,000 is $6000. Now ya talking... Working class uncomes barely cover essentials in life now. Very different from 80s.

Agonising wait for Sydney dad who thwarted intruderA Sydney father is waiting to find out if he’ll be charged over the death of an alleged burglar, who has been identified as personal trainer and weightlifter Bradley Soper. He doesn't deserve to be charged it was self defense he was put in danger so he protected himself simple. So in Australia you have to wait until some one has not only broken into your house but has also attacked you or your children before you can act in defence? Seems fair... Australia is becoming more looney and more left by the hour! Next time, make them a cup of tea as they must have broken in just to have a chat!

Police advised not to charge man over home invader's deathBrad Soper, 34, died on Sunday morning following what police called a 'physical confrontation' with Francois Schwartz. sallyrawsthorne Gotta do whatever it takes to protect you and your family. The man who defended his home probably had no idea what the intruder would have done and did not take any chances. Anyone that does the same should be given the same leniency. sallyrawsthorne Home owner shouldn't be charged. sallyrawsthorne It was a cold blooded murder.
