Is MD Properties in Australia legit, or a scam?
Author: admin // Category: property in melbourneI have been having a look around property sites like Domain and have found some gorgeous apartments in Melbourne City, most of which are only $200 a week. Which is very cheap considering. They are fully furnished with two bedrooms and bathrooms, in the CBD… but $200 for all that seems far too cheap. So I was just wondering if anyone has heard of or had any sort of experiences with them, and could tell me whether or not this is a scam?
I’d like to see some of your opinions before taking it to the Ombudsman to get it checked out.
So basically the apartments, you pay a $1000 bond, rent 3 months in advance and then from there on in you pay 200 a week.
Thanks in advance guys xx
I guess they’re asking $200 per room as it sounds way too cheap for a CBD apartment.

Do You Think Julia Gillard is John Howard in Drag?
Author: admin // Category: property in melbourneDo You Think Julia Gillard is John Howard in Drag?
Further to Julia Gillard is John Howard in Drag may I ask Who wants to see Gillard as pro-Israel and anti-Islam?
A regular reader of this site sent this on, exact source unknown, but certainly speaks for itself.
The ALP and Israel is like a disease that no medicine can cure
Australian unionist Paul Howes loves Israel. He supports its criminality, murder of opponents, defends it from everybody and would ideally like to make love to the Jewish state. He’s also one of the key figures behind the recent coup of Julia Gillard when overthrowing Kevin Rudd.
Welcome to the modern Australian Labor Party, where Israel is a state religion.
His column in yesterday’s Sunday Telegraph is a typical rant that conveniently forgets to mention that one of Australia’s leading Zionist lobbyists, Albert Dadon, is actually an Israeli lobbyist. He wields influence but of course we can’t mention this. Furthermore, Howes doesn’t want to see that there is a profound conflict of influence with the Prime Minister’s partner working for a Zionist lobbyist who is trying to affect government policy towards the Middle East. But of course for some, anything related to the Jewish state is beyond criticism. Fat chance:
It hasn’t taken long for the double standards to emerge, in the week since our first female Prime Minister took office.
While it’s significant that Julia Gillard is our first female PM, what’s really significant is how long it took us to get there.
I’m writing this column in the Sydney CBD, where we have a female Lord Mayor and State member, and female federal MP, a female Premier and a female Governor.
In Canberra, there’s a female Governor General and – at last – a female PM. With the exception of the dual-Lord Mayor/Member for Bligh, all these women are, or were appointed by, Labor.
The Liberal Party, on the other hand, is so bereft of female talent that they’ve recycled Julie Bishop as deputy leader three times for different leaders, despite the fact that she’s not considered competent enough to hold the shadow Treasury portfolio.
But the progressive side of politics has always championed women. In my own role as a union official, we have had female leaders of the Australian Council of Trade Unions since 1996, with the newest president, Ged Kearney, taking office in the past week.
She replaces Sharan Burrow, who has been elected as the head of the global trade union movement.
Yet we’ve already seen double standards being applied to our new PM with significant media coverage of Prime Minister Gillard’s hair, clothes, voice and domestic arrangements.
The Melbourne Age carried a front-page story last week about the employment status of the Prime Minister’s partner, Tim Mathieson.
He works as a salesman for a melbourne property company, chaired by Albert Dadon, prominent in the local Jewish community.
The article implied that, somehow, because Mr Mathieson works for a company associated with a Jewish community member, this would somehow impact on the PM’s stance on foreign policy, particularly in relation to her views on Israel.
It was one of the crassest examples of shoddy journalism I’ve seen. The implication was, firstly, that because Mr Mathieson is a man and the PM a woman, whatever he thinks about the world or who he works for will impact on what Ms Gillard thinks.
The second implication was that, simply because Mr Mathieson works for a company owned by a prominent Jew, his personal views on policy matters will be skewed by his job.
One Canberra press gallery journalist summed it up best on Twitter when he said: "I can’t ever recall a male politician being the subject of claims his wife’s job would influence his views on the Middle East."
He was spot on, summing up in one sentence the appalling double standards applied to Prime Minister Gillard in the article. In fact, outrage over the article was so intense that even former Age editor Michael Gawenda labelled it "bizarre".
Mr Mathieson’s employer, apart from being Jewish, is a well-known jazz musician and was chairman of the Melbourne Jazz Festival.
Following the logic of The Age’s article, one could presume that our nation’s leader will redirect the Government’s arts funding solely towards the Australian jazz industry.
Ludicrous, isn’t it? Just as ludicrous as saying that the PM is going to toe some pro-Israel line simply because of who her partner works for. It’s the type of double standards and sexist reporting that belongs in the past.
Julia Gillard has shown she is her own person. It doesn’t matter what her hair looks like. I don’t think anyone is really interested in how she dresses. It doesn’t matter who her partner works for or what their living arrangements are.
What matters is that she’s the best pe
What matters is that she’s the best person for the job and light years ahead of Tony Abbott when it comes to understanding the needs of ordinary Australians. Yes, she’s different from her predecessors, but just like Kevin Rudd, John Howard, Paul Keating and Bob Hawke, she is her own person.
Any suggestion that her partner’s views, or her hairstyle, has any bearing on how she runs the country is laughable at best, sexist at worst.
Paul Howes is national secretary of the Australian Workers’ Union

Brian Walters on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) and emissions property rights
Author: admin // Category: property in melbourne
Brian Walters explains the Carbon Pollution Reduction scheme, particularly the way it turns emission permits into property rights which may hamstring more robust emission controls down the track.
Brian Walters is a prominent Melbourne senior legal counsel, former President of Liberty Victoria and a candidate for the Greens for the seat of Melbourne in the 2010 Victorian State election,
“One of the things about this scheme which I’m not sure has had much coverage, but in my view is the worst part of the scheme, is that it makes it impossible for future Governments to ratchett up the targets. That’s because under a section of the legislation the carbon pollution permits, won’t just be permits, they will be property rights. You’ve all seen ‘The Castle’ and you know the Government of Australia under the constitution can’t acquire property except on just terms. So you give this property right to carbon polluters – it’s a social evil – give them the right to do this evil thing and make it a property right and it means that future governments down the track can’t acquire those property rights or diminish those property rights except on just terms.
Now that is scandalous. And it is not what was proposed by Garnault or by anybody. We are left with a scheme that will make things worse”

Do you agree Melbourne & Australia is pretty average?
Author: admin // Category: property in melbourneI am 24 years old and have lived in Melbourne Australia all my life.
I have backpacked Europe several months and the USA for several months as well.
Having seen alot of the world, I often wonder why Australians continuously say "This is the best country in the world!" or "Mate, we live in the lucky country eh!" or most often "It’s good to travel overseas but it makes you realise how lucky we are to live here!"
Whilst I think Australia and Melbourne is comfortable to live in, I don’t think it’s necessarily "the best place in the world!" when compared to other countries. Why? See below
a) Australia has only 3 "big" cities – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane. Once you’ve seen and explored them several times there is not much else busy going on.
b) Melbourne lacks beaches. The port is dirty. Beaches in places like Cairns and Far North Queensland are shut in Summer because of deadly box jellyfish that move in.
c) Housing is extremely unaffordable. 6.5 time the average household income per year (compared to 3x in the USA). If you want to live "inner city" in Melbourne which is about 20-30 mins away from the city in decent subarbs without hoons, crime and gangs you pay literally millions for a house and hundreds of thousands for units of apartments with no land.
d) Prices – Prices are insanely high and inflation is growing. Also caused by the drought. I mean, $3.50 for a 600ml bottle of coke? that is ridiculous. Any dinner at a restaurant that’s decent costs $25-$50 these days and meat prices have shot up. Also everything imported costs so much more than the US/Europe because of Australia’s tiny population and distance away from the rest of the developed world.
e) Transport – Transport, even in big cities like Melbourne and Sydney is totally sub-par. There is no underground railway, and trains are slow, over-clogged and do not run efficiently. Often to go from East to West by train you have to go North then change trains and come back down. Trams are slow, clogged, inefficient, almost always late and yet the Gov’t continuously promotes them over cars, even to the extent that major roads in the city have lost all but 1 lane, to trams that don’t event run continuously!
f) Tax – Australians are some of the most heavily taxed people in the world. GST (Sales tax) is at 10%, Income Taxes are high, Stamp duty on property is 5%!!!, Capital Gains Tax is high, Luxury Car tax is at 140% of the car’s value!!!, car "registration" is approximately $600 and road toll’s are increasingly common, Superannuation (retirement savings) are taxed at 15%, Businesses are taxed at 30%, Alcohol is taxed at 40% – where the hell does all this tax money go?
g) Proximity – Australia is far away from Europe and the USA. Even Asia. Any time you want to see anything other than the "lucky country" it’s going to cost you about $2,000+ to fly out of here.
h) Crime – Crime is on the rise, largely due to poor immigration choices of unskilled, unintelligent migrants from Africa and the Middle East. The city of Melbourne and Sydney is dangerous at night with all of the gangs around.
i think a lot of the people that say that haven’t traveled and just base their decision on what they’ve seen on tv. I don’t think that its the best country in the world, but it is up there. Think about it we have: beautiful beaches and coral reefs, rainforest’s and Very exotic animals unique to Australia and big cities. Not many countries have ALL that!
