I welcome this move, enforcing that SMS messages come from who they say they'll come from is important. Personally I think the whole system of replacing the point of origin with a name needs to be overhauled. Allowing a name as well is

And yet despite their majority, Labor still seem reticent to make big changes of the sort people are asking for, and backpedal on their initiatives and promises all over the place. God I hope Pauline and one nation are just a stupid blip an

Why would they sit on them? Surely they are more likely to sell if they can never be leased profitably? This would put that capital to better use. Your assumption there is also that the class of ‘renters’ is homogenous and wants to rent.

IFF there isn’t already excess demand for building in the market, and house-building is itself ‘liquid’, something that’s not necessarily true. When supply is constrained by the availability of builders and materials, then some landlords dr

That depends on the market. I’m not familiar with St Paul Minnesota, but here in Perth, Western Australia this is raised as an argument every time someone proposes anything to do with rolling back investor tax breaks. That and “there will b

I tend to think it's probably doing OK as it gets heavy criticism from both the left and the right. From the left, it gets accused of cow-towing to right wing interests, not holding conservatives and corporatists to account and general

Your bank would likely have a limit on the number of approvals it would issue over time, to stop automated exploits, sure. In theory you only need these approvals once per site on signup.
