Foreign investors push first home buyers out of property market

There are concerns that foreign interest in Australian residential property is pushing up prices, making it harder for local first home buyers to enter the market.

Chinese interest in Australian residential property is booming, with chief executive of McGrath Estate Agents John McGrath describing it as the biggest surge from an offshore market in his 30 years in real estate.

"In some suburbs 90 per cent of new product will sell to Chinese buyers," he said.

Cashed-up buyers are snapping up everything from luxury harbour-side property in Sydney to apartments bought off the plan in Sydney, Melbourne the Gold Coast and Perth.

Will prime minister Tony Abbott (the "conservative") intervene to allow local buyers a chance of buying their own home? Probably not. He probably has wealthy businessmen in his ear telling him not to offend the Chinese, so they can sell their goods. Sydney will soon be a completely Asian city.

Fox exposes "knockout game" as black-on-white violence

Three good videos by Fox News that dive right in and expose the "knockout game" for what it generally is: black-on-white racial violence. No holding back in these interviews. Good to see.

WND: Fox launches full-frontal assault on black mobs

After scores of reports by WND about the problem of black-mob violence in the U.S. and a lethal practice of attacking random whites and Jews called “the Knockout Game,” Fox News has launched a full-frontal assault on the shocking phenomenon its own analysts say is intentionally suppressed by national news media.

At least three ... prime-time broadcasts focused on the issue Tuesday night, with the common conclusion that it’s a racist crime trend of black individuals pummeling white victims...

“It’s savagery. It’s very difficult to watch those tapes,” former CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg told Bill O’Reilly ...

“Just let’s imagine that what we’re seeing here is white kids attacking black people,” Goldberg continued ... And they go around and some black guy is coming home from work and out of the blue, they just hit him in the face as hard as they can and he goes down. And then their idiotic white friends giggle about it like a bunch of hyenas, and then they post it on the Internet. That would obviously be a national news story because it’s orchestrated racial violence. But this isn’t.”

Goldberg told O’Reilly it was a “white liberal paternalistic decision” for most media to ignore and hide the issue.

“The white liberals in the media at places that aren’t covering this are saying, ‘You know what? We don’t want to give any ammo to those white racist conservatives out there (because they equate conservatism with racism anyway), so let’s just make believe this isn’t happening.’ How despicable...

Meanwhile on “Hannity,” former NYPD detective Bo Dietl blasted media suppression of the trend, as well as how police agencies have handled the cases.

“The liberal news media doesn’t want to say what it is. It’s gangs of black youths attacking whites,” Dietl told host Sean Hannity.

“It’s a race-based thing. It’s the black youths against the white individual. Not even just a man. It’s against defenseless women and defenseless people and they hit ‘em in the face and they try to knock ‘em out. People have been killed. My problem is, they gotta take this crime, and they gotta categorize it the way it’s supposed to be categorized. It’s black-on-white crime. That’s racist.”

Also appearing on the program was noted criminal defense attorney Remy Spencer who agreed the Knockout Game was severely underreported.

“I think people in today’s society are too politically correct and afraid to talk about violence from black people on white people,” Spencer said. “But if you reverse it, look at the George Zimmerman trial. That got national attention, not just because a young man died, but because of the race issue. I think media outlets are afraid of reporting this kind of crime.”

Spencer explained there was no guesswork or speculation about the racial angle, as the black assailants themselves are self-publicizing their mayhem online...

In a personal commentary, Van Susteren said Americans have to address this problem as soon as possible:

“No one wants to get near the topic of race, but we also can’t run from this one. People are getting hurt, they’re getting murdered. And even those who live in these communities where this is happening, they have a right to be safe, and they don’t have to live in fear of having their children hurt or even poisoned by ugly peer pressure, right?

“This game has to be condemned, and in order for the condemnation to have any impact whatsoever, it has to come from important role models to these young teens. I beg of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and even President Obama to step up right now and speak out. Your silence will speak volumes, but your voice could make a big difference. Don’t wait. Be leaders. They need you. We need you.”

Don't hold your breath waiting for Obama to speak out against blacks.

Andrew Bolt: "Why are so many media outlets refusing to mention a racial angle they’d scream from the mountain-top if the violence went the other way?"

Canberra doesn't trust Jakarta

Another leak from Edward Snowden (or whoever is pulling his strings i.e. China or Russia).

Canberra doesn't trust Jakarta:

The news that Australia's electronic spy agency, the Defence Signals Directorate, has targeted Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's mobile phone won't come as a surprise to the many hundreds, indeed thousands, of Australian intelligence officers ...

Why do we do it? Behind all the declarations of friendship and good neighbourliness by successive Australian governments, Canberra just doesn't trust Jakarta. We work closely with Indonesia, including in the fields of security and intelligence, but we don't trust them. We never have, and probably never will.

So, once again, we find our economic policy is at odds with our national security. Our free trade is facilitating the rise of a country we do not trust.

This is the same insanity as buying Chinese goods and then running around terrified that China is building a massive military machine. It is an insane disconnect.

We should be (a) trading with our racial/ethnic kin and (b) trading with relatively trustworthy Asian powers like Japan and India. These are the economies and military that we should be financing. Not China, and not Indonesia (90% Muslim).

And Tony Abbott, lunatic in chief, wants to deepen our free trade across Asia.

Australia is "open for business" (Abbott's mantra) but closed for national security.

Fake fainter during Obama speech?

I'm not much into conspiracies but there's some odd behaviour in this video, especially the woman with her arm around the fainter, who barely looks sideways at the key moment, such is her lack of concern.


In a follow up interview with the fainter, she turns out to be an intelligent blogger, and looks a picture of health.

Country Music Awards mock Obamacare

It was mostly well received by the crowd. Good to see.


The contract for the failed Obamacare website was given to a company run by a friend of Michelle Obama, and was not put out to tender.

And the policy itself isn't being received too well either:

US National Debt: $1 Million Per Taxpayer

U.S. National Debt: $1.1 Million Per Taxpayer

Each U.S. taxpayer now has a federal-debt liability of $1.1 million—and rising.

The public tends to focus on the total national debt, which just passed the $17 trillion mark—up from $10.6 trillion when President Obama took office. But that figure pales in comparison to the federal government’s long-term unfunded liabilities—money the government is obligated to pay over and above the revenues it is estimated to receive.

According to the U.S. Debt Clock, total long-term unfunded liabilities are at $126 trillion, a $1.1 million liability for each U.S. taxpayer...

Understanding Halal Certification - Kirralie Smith

It's not the most exciting topic, but you have to admire the persistence of Kirralie Smith (founder of halalchoices.com.au) to tackle the topic. And she does manage to put the topic into the wider context of creeping sharia law, dhimmitude and violent jihad.  Here's an introduction:
