Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations

[Carn The Berries]

What if you've already moved out and it would otherwise be empty?

People have little to no concept of size and space, an empty room can look significantly smaller than it really is for example.

I have no love whatsoever for real estate agents, but there's plenty of scenarios where 'staging' a home makes sense. The idea that they're going to move all of someone's furniture out of the house for a photo op is pretty silly. Usually it would either be an otherwise empty house because they've already moved out, or more of a styling type service where you use the major pieces someone already has and make it look nicer (since most people obviously don't pay an interior designer to do their homes).

It's not really about trying to pretend that's how your house actually looks while you live there in my experience, it's selling aspiration as to how the house could look for the prospective buyer.

As I said in my original post, I completely agree with the concept behind doing it (and have done so to some degree in a couple of houses that I've sold). But, ultimately it is fake, just like display houses. They're not a true representation of what a house will look like, but gives potential buyers an idea/concept.

The point I'm trying to make is fake does not necessarily equal bad.

But it could look like that for the new buyer, if they wanted. You're selling aspiration. No different to showcasing the latest Ford Ranger doing off-road stuff despite knowing most people are buying them to roam around the suburbs going to and from coffee.

As I said, I don't have any love for real estate agents and I think the entire industry is pretty disgraceful, but potting individuals as fake for doing what (AFAIK) is proven to help them sell their home for more is unfair.

Exactly. Albo should consult dan.

You only have to look at the Pakenham line to see why having Vline and Metro trains share tracks isn't great.
Vline trains just end up behind metro trains no real ability to overtake

Isnt that what the current buses servicing the Gippsland line are all about ? I saw a train come through Traf recently, but you can rely on it to get you to an appointment in the city.

No.

Buses are either for:
Level Crossing Removals.
Metro Tunnel and associated stuff.
Gippsland Rail upgrade

There's only Pakenham Dandenong Westall Caulfield where trains can overtake. Westall is the easiest as it has a bypass track and extra platform.

East Pakenham will have bypass tracks to allow metro trains terminate out of the way of Vline trains

The Victorian opposition ladies and gentlemen.

Liberal Party’s father-daughter act feeling the heat from cookers

The civil war raging within the Victorian Liberals is not about to cool following another MP’s controversial event appearance.

Genuine not loaded question


Why is Dan popular and easily relected given the angst draws online ?

Because the opposition are beyond useless and irrelevant.

Thanks for that.

This news story has done nothing the train service down my way:

Anger as V/Line breakdown in inner Melbourne sees 100 passengers 'stuck' for three hours

V/Line passengers on a train to Gippsland have said they could not get off during a three-hour breakdown outside Richmond Station on Tuesday afternoon.

www.abc.net.au

V/Line chief executive Matt Carrick apologised to the passengers on the train and said the investigation into what happened was ongoing, but a brake issue caused the delay.

Mr Carrick said the "primary cause" of the delay was the breakdown rather than access to the station.'

'Silvia Krambeck, 68, from Traralgon, said passengers were told one of the reasons for the lengthy delay was because the train had lost its window to access Richmond station.'

Dan got plenty of credit for doing things ... fix it Dan.

 

[Gralin]

Because the opposition are beyond useless and irrelevant.

And the online noise is just that

 

[Gralin]

And the online noise is just that

In part because nobody can solidify it into one vote.
It's splintered between libs and various cookers

This is a very funny thread. Listening to all these Dictator Dan supporters.

Maybe the comm games was sacrificed to help keep the Grand Prix?

Inside Sydney’s bid to steal the grand prix – and the price Melbourne paid to get it back — The Age

For the first time under the Andrews government, there was a real fear that one of the city’s most important events could be wrenched from its grasp.

apple.news

It’ll be interesting to see how the people who thought the comm games should have been kept whatever, then argue being ransomed to keep the Grand Prix was also a bad thing

It is a bit of an interesting question for those who are more regular posters in here: why do you post in here, this thread specifically? What is the point of it?

Is it a need to share experiences, to read up on Andrews' failings? Is it because ranting feels better than saying nothing? It's certainly not to try and drum up anti Labor support.

Why do you post in here?

Frustration with ineffective Government & a rabble in Opposition.
We saw it with Shorten losing the unloseable & another term from Morrison.
Dan romped home last time out with an Opposition about as good as the 2023 Eagles.

We see how effective the Robodebt inquiry was, how effective the Sofronoff inquiry is, & we Victorians look back at the Coate Inquiry, the Lawyer X shamozzle ....
We've been here before.

Why do people post in the Scott Morrison thread when he's no longer Prime Minister?

What's the point of any of this?

Venting frustrations mostly. I have also applauded a few good things that he’s done too.
Is that a fair answer?

I’m assuming, your question that you posed is genuine and that you wanted to start a legit conversation from it?
If so, I find it strange that a moderator has laughed at the first answer to your question. Kinda defeats the purpose.

Thanks Foucault.

But in all seriousness, people usually have a reason for the things they do. If you don't want to say why you keep finding yourself posting in here (or simply reading and reacting) you don't have to, I was just curious.

Absolutely.
