Anyone else seen the fees councils charge a developer to develop a block of land?
70-100k
And it goes straight on to the price you pay...for doing precisely nothing.
Much like stamp duty...anyone been able to work out why the stamp duty should be more for a 500k mortgage than a 200k one? I mean theoretically they are just stamping a bit of paper.
And for the love of god will someone shoot that stupid bitch Penny Wong...see her quoted in London in yesterdays media? ETS and saving the planet is a 'personal and moral' crusade that will go ahead in 2010 despite the meltdown.
Wanna bet?
