Not in real terms. In real terms they're still 11% below the peak. Set against income or rents they're lower still. Peaking prices in itself also aren't the danger, it's the combination with a surge in mortgage debt that you have to watch out for.

China is the future, that much is certainly obvious.

 

[The_J]

Hopefully it's not.

Made some graphics for our latest piece of football blogging by connecting annual rainfall data to AFL matches

Pretty pleased to sledge both Sydney and Melbourne and pump Canberra up here

This is fun because Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs are, like seven other teams, both from Melbourne

Seats in the new Greek parliament:

-Golden Dawn is out, didn't manage to get the 3% of the vote needed to be in parliament.
-Mera25 is the party of Varoufakis.

So, even increasing ND's seats almost by half for winning, they only just scraped a majority? Eesh.

That re-inforced majority bonus...
Since WW2 Greece has changed its electoral system many many times (somewhere between 30-40 legislative orders, presidential orders, amendments)

158 isn't that shaky a majority, in realistic terms. It still allows for up to 7 mps to rebel and the gov maintaining power (and arguably a number of Kinal - green in the pic - mps will support most motions of ND).
Btw, the bonus is just shy of 1/3, not half. 50 mps for the first party. This law was legislated in the start of the 90s, to prevent endless elections (back then ND won with 49% and still had 150 mps out of 300 and couldn't form a government...). Contrast with this election, where ND got 40% and 158 mps.

Greece is blue, and higher than FYROM. Guess that's all what you need to know .

More than likely it is higher than Germany too.

And yet some Australians claim you are full & can't take more immigrants.

 

[Arakhor]

Anti-immigrant people always claim that.

And yet some Australians claim you are full & can't take more immigrants.

There is a reason why the empty areas are empty... I am not sure a lot of people would like to live there.
