I don't have any credible feedback for you.

I dislike php. That's my feeling. The vibe.

When I'm browsing self hostable things I avoid php unless it's really the only option.

My completely unsupported "feeling" is that apps written in php are awkward and clunky and just less pleasant to host.

I'm sorry if that offends you, and I don't care at all what you think of my opinion.

I only mentioned "php apps feel old" because I could see you were some kind of php devotee and that it would trigger you. Maybe look into that.

It's not even a fact.

Conservatives could say the same thing.

I wish Labor would tackle real actual social problems with progressive policies instead of these dumb virtuous deeds that just distance conservatives.

West Aus won the last election for Albo buy that's not gonna happen this time. Regional WA is seething over the live export ban.

LNP will just repeal it anyway. It will cost them and election and ultimately achieve nothing.

I don't think that at all. Living in the 4th or 5th century is not at all apologies to the 21st.

People will notice everything being more expensive. Facebook memes will tell them why that is so.

Yeah I don't really understand this claim.

My partner and I disagree on a lot of things, but I can predict with near certainty where she stands on things because she my partner, we have shared a life together, and I know her.

Yeah. Taxing investors is going to take the heat out of the market. The only question is how much.

It was a broad progressive platform. I remember how disappointed I was when he lost.

I have young kids. This shit terrifies me honestly.

I can't help but wonder what Dad's take on this situation was.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

Yep. That's what I said.

I absolutely agree that both parties' housing policies are just throwing fuel on the fire.

Assisting first home owners increases demand which increases pricing. The obvious beneficiaries of these policies are people that already own houses.

The solutions are addressing tax concessions like negative gearing and capital gains tax, increasing annual land tax, and providing concessions for tiny homes and pre-fab homes.

 

Labor announced it would allow first home buyers to purchase homes with a 5 per cent deposit. It also pledged $10 billion to go towards building 100,000 new homes over eight years — exclusively available to first-time buyers — by way of grants to states and territories, and zero-interest loans or equity investments.

The Coalition's policy would see interest payments on mortgages taken out by first-time buyers on newly built homes be tax deductible for five years.

Economists have been quick to give scathing assessments of some of the latest policies, which they argue will drive up demand, and in turn, housing prices. Chris Richardson labelled the major parties' platforms a "dumpster fire of dumb stuff", while Saul Eslake called the Coalition's planned tax deduction "candidate for dumbest policy decision of the 21st century".

But housing experts say the policies are missing the crucial issue driving the housing shortage.

I'm happy to stand corrected given my very limited medical knowledge.

That said, old mate obviously wasn't too concerned about it given that he forewent treatment.
