Yeah I missed opportunity to dodge that a day or two ago...

It'll open down, prolly fall to the cap raise price then we'll recover as per usual. Not a big deal for me as I'm long term, but would have been nice to pick up more shares for cheaper.

So jetstar do japan domestic flights apparently... If i had of known that before i booked my qantas ticket i would have taken the bullet train instead.

 

Then becoz of usual 2hour jetstar delay, qantas changed my entire itinerary for some unknown reason. Instead of direct to melb from Narita, had to go via brisbane. So 2x stopovers requiring switching from domestic to international and having to sprint to each flight due to delays.... Arrive in melb 5 hours after original expected time. Miss my lift so now skybus + train + drive. F**k jetstar and f**k flying. Ill just jetski to japan next time.

I don't think you realise how long that would take you to go by jet ski

Friends don't let friends fly jetstar..

i booked through qantas and it just said a "partner airline". the more you know.

google knows what im on about:

I had a similar one years back, QF ticket turned out was code share on Vietnam Airlines.

Worst flight I had, 
3 seats across center row, myself on aisle lady on far side and her 2 kids sharing center seat..1 vomiting milk on take off was a bad sign
Think 1/2 the people on the flight had shopped at the Queen vic market 3 hours prior to take off and brought on carry on...lots of aromas.
hour into flight some-one blocked the smoke detector in the toilet in front of me to use as the communal smoking room for the whole plane.
add in some disgusting airline food

the aroma by the end of the flight was horrific

Changed travel agent after that one.

I have learnt to check all flights that I get quoted now.

[Leroy Peterson]

Communal smoking room lol

[Birds]

Commencing 1st July.... my sister just bought a place. tough break lol

[UNR33L]

What was it previously? 50% off stamp duty i think I got in 2014 

[emts]

yeah 50%   plus the regional FHOG went from 10K to 20K

and I missed both....

[Birds]

Off the plan are stamp duty free anyway IIRC, so the stamp duty exemption will only really assist new home buyers looking at established properties, in which case they will miss out on the FHOG because IIRC that has to be a new dwelling.

Will probably drive up demand a little bit once it sets in, but my logic is that in the interim there could be some cheap (<450k) established home bargains to be had as first home buyers wait until July 1 to purchase.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

It's not free, just heavily reduced as you purchase a vacant lot and pay stamps on that

[Birds]

That's the one

[UNR33L]

Birds good idea, now might be the time for you guys to shop for a bargain. I wouldn't let saving ~8k stampers stop you from getting a mad buy.
