daggyone: It works if you don't under capitalise the investments you borrow against. ie: try positive gearing instead of negative gearing, instead of biting off more than you can chew, you're not going to be in a negative position if any number of the scenarios occur that could go wrong in a negatively geared investment portfolio. ie: if you have any shares, sell, sell, sell, in a down turn and buy, buy, buy, when the market starts to climb again.
I don't have an answer on the view that jobs jobs jobs is an answer for the country. Better when small family farms and the likes rather than the American crap pushed onto everybody after Regans New World Order and of course before that. People seem to quickly forget Howards water proof the dairy industry crap, which closed down pretty much every remaining family size dairy farm. They used a false premmus claiming cheaper to build one rotary cow shed and have milk tankers make one stop instead ten. Now good land all over the place are five or ten acres with families travelling miles to make money

Um Errrrrrrr I dont think you should sell in a down turn! you stay put and buy buy buy and sell when the shares go up again.
Martia: Well I live in a rural area and if you can find a place for $150 to rent I know a few young people around here would love to know about it. Now you are the one making the sweeping statements judging people that you dont know at all. You even have an opinion about me! without the slightest idea of who I am.
If they're prepared to move to Ararat, similar distance from Melb. a 3 bed home to let is $125 week, cheep places in Maryborough too, both places have rail transport to Melb. If they're good with a metal detector, there's a bit of aluvial gold to be found and it's going for a good price atm. The previous floods have left a lot of creek banks exposed and sediment in the bottom of them full of gold dust

Some one will come up with an idea to put the carbon back into the soil where it came from so the soil can be richer and grow more stuff. A new range of algae, parasites or maggots could be the answer.

Mr DaggyO
The homeless folk are not silly, they just have become street smart, and really its the only thing saving them... They cannot logically go to a poor area... the poor have nothing to give to the poor... they need to hang out in cities where they have a chance of getting food parcels and assistance... not to some out of town place where no one will even look at them...

And who says these areas are no good for them after many thousand more have lived in them prior to now, that's why the homes are free to move into. You could buy a home in Tassie - Queenstown/Zeehan for $50,000 if you want to buy a piece of lush green Australia too.
Maybe blizzard's onto something Rob, plant gums and be paid to capture the carbon and improove your soils carbon levels. I still can't see why the feds are sticking their noses into high plains cattle grazing?

Many people live in and around small country towns. SOME of these people would never cut it in a city.. however, the type of poor that I see on a daily basis, are well below that level of living, and they need organisations who offer free medical, free legal help, food parcels, vouchers, bus tickets, and have places to collect their mail for them, have centrelink to come to the drop-in shelter, because they cannot cope on their own, and they dont want nor need to be stared out if they go into centrelink. ... I think we are cognitively on different paths here..

many large centres like the Ararats and Maryboroughs of this world have all of the things you mention to help people, even the pokie funded XMAS food hampers.
