Peter writes: "I had a call last night from a man with an accent. He was from the 'International Microsoft Windows Help Desk' ... Apparently my computer is full of dangerous viruses. The kind man offered to help me solve this problem. I told him that would be great but I have a hearing problem. After 20 minutes of him shouting instructions at me he was starting to get a bit irritated. He then asked for my internet password. I spelled it out for him (EMMAFUGWET). I told him to yell it back to me three times which he did. The call then ended abruptly."

Mike Pascoe,

You are absolutely on the money. I wish there were more articles in mainstream media to educate otherwise highly geared mortage holders.

This is a flaw in housing policy that has pushed prices so high that an out of cycle interest rate increase puts people on the brink. You cant tell me there would be all this indignation if people had $100-200k mortgages (which are the norms in most countries), rather than upwards of $500k plus. I have no idea what people were thinking.

Ultimately the banks have owners (not the Australian mortagee) that they have to answer to. The lack of a decent housing policy has pushed prices up to ridiculous levels where mortagees are squealing like injured pigs. And I feel for them Mike, I really do, but they should have attending credit counselling before they took out these massive loans that they had no hope of being able to repay. This is Australia's sub-prime crisis.

Meanwhile, Australia will keep building less homes, keep bringing in more immigrants, and exacerbating the housing problem. And the pollies will keep blaming the banks for out of cycle interest rates (which they will keep doing, knowing they cant fix the real problem). Part of this is a cultural problem (obsession with owning), and the other, negative gearing on existing housing. These will continue.

I look forward to watching young Australians hopes of owning a property disappear over the next 20 years, while thanking my good fortune for being able to leave this ridiculous housing mess for overseas.

Ps- Please share your thinking with Ian Verrender at smh, I think he would greatly benefit from your insight and may be minded to write more on this subject than his ongoing bank bashing themed articles.

Readers shouldn't be surprised at the ridiculous charges levied by ASB Bank. Their parent in Australia (Commonwealth Bank) attracted condemnation for increasing floating mortgage rates within an hour of the Reserve Bank of Australia raising the official cash rate, says Mike. "The rate rise was 0.25 per cent but CBA raised their rates by 0.45 per cent with indecent haste. The bank only made A$6.1 billion last year, and their CEO (Kiwi Ralph Norris) only earns A$16.2m a year, so I can see why they needed the top up..."

我和LG是以前的139签证，LG是主申请人，他当时雅思6.5分，我英文太差所以没考雅思，直接付了AMEP 510小时的费用。但是拿到的收据上面错误的写成了我LG 的名字。
1个多月前去AMEP报名，结果他们说帮我查好后会给我答复，但是都现在还没消息！
有同学碰到过这种情况吗？后来怎么解决的？

The daughter of the late country singer Johnny Cash has told off the US House Minority Leader for making a joke at her father's expense. The Ohio congressman had invited an audience to hark back to the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was President, Bob Hope was still cracking jokes and Johnny Cash was still singing. Then Boehner quipped that, with Barack Obama in the White House, the US had "no Hope and no Cash". Rosanne Cash responded on Twitter with: "John Boehner: Stop using my dad's name as a punch line you [expletive]."

It's just another day
And it feels like you're still running late
'Cause the times are gonna change
And you're stuck in your old mentality

You can try to lead us on
(Try to lead us on)
But there's no one else to blame
We'll be left to clean the mess
When you're gone
(Running out of time)

Running out of time
And you just don't get it
Now you're watching people die
And you still don't care
Running out of time
And you just don't get that this is how I feel
There's a million things I hate about you

It's just another battle
When you exercise your authority
When the dust is finally settled
Will you catch up with reality?

We've been waiting way too long
(Waiting way too long)
Now it's time for us to play
And we won't be looking back
When you're gone
(Running out of time)

Running out of time
And you just don't get it
Now you're watching people die
And you still don't care
Running out of time
And you just don't get that this is how I feel
There's a million things I hate about you
About you, about you, about you

I don't wanna hear the same excuses
I don't wanna hear the same excuses
I don't wanna hear your stories

Running out of time
And you just don't get it
You're watching people die
And you still don't care
Running out of time
And you just don't get it
If everybody dies
Well, you still don't care

Running out of time
And you just don't get it
Now you're watching people die
And you still don't care
Running out of time
And you just don't get that this is how I feel
And I don't wanna think about
This is how I feel
There's a million things I hate about you
There's a million things I hate about you

双双辞职，楼主有些莽撞了。且不说移民的事还不确定，就是成功，如果运气不好，英文也不好(从你的雅思成绩来看），那么，灾难才刚刚拉开序幕。

说点真话，不害你，不要拍砖啊！
