Bait



The only thing that comes second to my distaste for the confidence game that is the real estate industry, is my pure and pathological hatred for politicians.

The seething anger that I feel, combined with the acidity of the words I could spew from deep within my bile duct at the moment, would burn the pubic hair off a scrotum from ten feet away.

Thanks to the treacherous, mid GFC, Rudd government policy of boosting the first home owner’s grant, which was sold by the doe-eyed, “she wouldn’t tell me a lie”, Sussex Street Snake, Tanya Plibersek, we can relive a 'Brief History of Home Ownership' with Matthew Tregent and Sarah Zajac.

I won't comment on their ongoing media appearances, maybe they’re under mortgage stress, maybe they aren’t, but one thing seems clear – those boosted first home owner’s grants, when rates were at all time lows, are going to take us off a cliff.

Sure, yesterday I was talking personal responsibility, but personal responsibility is one thing if you’ve got a few years under your belt. A government luring the most financially inexperienced people in our community on a boat ride into the ocean, encouraging them to smother themselves in chum and then jump into the water, is the repugnant act of a thoroughly twisted mob of scumbags.

Why did they do it? Because this country has become a real estate development jurisdiction and who is more important, some dumb kids, or that guy that giving you donations?

SARAH ZAJAC, HOME BUYER: Once we get the keys, it's gonna be exciting times from there. And to actually know that we've actually done this is a really exciting step for us... Mr Tregent and Ms Zajac, who both work full-time at Foxtel in Moonee Ponds, say they would not have bought without the grants, including $6000 from developer Devine... Low interest rates also contributed to their decision, she said.

Matthew Tregent and Sarah Zajac are looking at selling their home in Deer Park. They are not suffering mortgage stress - far from it - but many of their neighbours are, and it is changing the character of their street.

Hmmm. And who can forget their appearance in this eerily accurate prediction of the future...



A rude shock awaits when they finally get that sale price.
