The price of houses in Sydney
My equity lecturer featured in the Herald yesterday
The Terminator movies where he purported to whinge about Sydney house prices and public transport — fair game, as we all know it’s true. For this he was excoriated in the letters pages. He claims to have been misrepresented, with the SMH only reporting his complaint instead of his more numerous compliments.
Speaking of the Herald, the recent website redesign is horrible. If you went there for the news you would be greeted with a tiny column in the middle with the headlines, surrounded by a massive sea of pictures, ads, and white-space — a totally inefficient use of space. And for reasons unknown they list Arial before Helvetica in their stylesheets. It is totally illogical as every system with Helvetica also has Arial installed, whereas the opposite is not true. Helvetica is also prettier than its cheap imitator.
Oh oh! and the RBA lifted rates today. This is good for at least two reasons. 1. My ING Direct account pays more interest and 2. It (hopefully) spells the death knell for the Howard government.
