With the right technology, they could probably even set up a system allowing us all to regularly vote in the federal parliament, as well as run surveys, for the cost of two census'.
Can you give us a brief outline of this new technology... how would it work exactly, and what are the primary cost components (capital / one time costs as well as recurring costs, maintenance and management etc)? Also, roughly how many employees would be required to deploy and manage the solution each month? Would it cater for people without internet access?

You are using it to troll with dickhead.
WHAT WOULD EDDIE DO? MAAAATE! Share a cot with Milton?
Much of what has been reported confirms the research I conducted with the productivity commission. The output from the industry is valid the measure is flawed.
Disregard the measure…accept the output.
This is not an unusual position in fact it’s quite normal and reflects many accepted standards from numerous industries around the world. Information is subjective on the methodology and those are generally not understood.
In simple terms accept the measure is consistently flawed whether that skew is positive or negative is irrelevant…follow the trend and you will have a measure of up or down.

I've always assumed that the data wasn't perfect, it never is. But if the error factor remained consistent it won't matter.
I do think though that the natural tendency would be for more under reporting during the bad times and more enthusiastic reporting during the good times.
Any expressed market opinion is my own and is not to be taken as financial advice

Once anything becomes politicised, or welfarized, it is only the inputs that are measured.
Outcomes are no longer important.
Why else would the american car industry in australia keep making cars nobody wants.
How many Holden supporters drove to the mountain to worship their god in a japanese car?

Hi Peter,
You are correct. However given the trend analysis in the Real estate industry the bottom line difference is not worth chasing.
Information drives business decisions in an intelligent organisation , however the given organisation must understand the level of data granularity it requires to base decisions.
I should write a book about this as most organisations I visit are quite frankly really bad at getting better...
Merry Christmas I sincerly hope 2014 is a happy smiling year!
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
