" Some people spent their early careers working remotely - 5 years on oil rigs, 8 years FIFO in crappy dongas on minesites, missing Christmas, Easter, birthdays, weddings, funerals … "
Just like we all cant be brain surgeons, likewise ,we all cant be FIFO workers.
Again the current state of play with housing via the government is a mixed message.
If your retired ,have a house worth circa $ 1. 2 million and you've got no cash, you are eligible for a taxpayer funded pension.
If your coining it, like a FIFO worker , and negative gear, your eligible for a taxpayer handout.
Please don't confuse my position , as one of envy, its based on the reality's of life.
An equal opportunity doesn't equate to equality , not by half.
Housing IMO, is a necessity , as such it should be exempt from biased profiteering via negative gearing.
Peer to peer ,there's only three countries in the world that negative gear , what does that suggest to an average intelligent person?
