“We are very pleased that the family home guarantee will help single parents - of which 80 per cent are women - to purchase their home.”
Deloitte Access Economics director Chris Richardson said the policy was ”a useful measure to help a group that needs help in a hot housing market but it’s not make or break for the wider housing market”.“Governments can’t solve this [rapidly rising house prices] and Australians are kidding themselves if they think it can,” he said. “House prices are driven by interest rates and interest rates need to be nailed to the floor for years to come to drive unemployment down.
But she said the announcement should be seen in the context of “what the government has done already to hit the economic security of single parents, mostly women, particularly those on low incomes”.
jamesmassola Well then let’s give it to nobody In fact let’s stop scholarships because there are plenty who deserve it and then don’t get it Let’s stop prizes Let’s stop keeping the score Let’s just stop
jamesmassola Better than nothing. How many single parents can meet the repayments?
jamesmassola Once again the age full of it. What you think the gov should just give everyone a house car and holiday. The reporters are racist when it comes to the liberal party. Let’s start a movement cal LPM
jamesmassola & they will buy house 2 times over once interest rates climb. When repayments fail & house prices dip as they will within the next 5 years & they have to sell, they'll be further behind 8 ball. What we need: long time rents as per Europe. Housing shouldn't be like sharemarket.

Which is better: single-sex or co-ed schools?With many single-sex schools looking to move into the co-educational field we look at the pros and cons | JordsBaker JordsBaker Studies have shown that single-sex schools are better because no matter how good a teacher might be they tend to show bias toward males. In other words, males are given more engaging interactions than females. Keep them segregated so the females can get an even playing field. JordsBaker The academic standard is more of an issue. Most of the elite schools are heavily dominated by Asians. I can foresee there will be a big clash among Asians and Caucasians in 20-30 years time. Who manage/lead who....

Joe Biden will need 'every single Democratic vote' to pass infrastructure Bill | Sky News AustraliaPresident Joe Biden will require “every single Democratic vote” to pass his $1.9 trillion infrastructure package in the Senate, according to Cypress College Political Science Professor Peter Mathews.\n\n“If he just passes it with budget reconciliation, he’ll need every single Democratic vote to pass plus the vice president’s vote to break the tie, it’s going to be tough,” he told Sky News. \n\n“On the other hand he might actually break up the package and use part of it, pass it with some Republican support, a smaller package, [rather] than go for a much larger one.”\n\nProfessor Mathews said President Biden had a “plan to pay for most of this” which is to tax corporations and wealthy Americans to raise funds. \n JoeBiden And a lot of US businesses are relying upon this. It will be an interesting vote. The Republicans might lose some financial backing on this one. JoeBiden Spend, Spend, Spend! 1.9 trillion, you do know where this money will be going? America's overall debt over 27 trillion dollars as of 2020!🤣
