The real problem is when the figures these self interested parties produce are spewed forth by the media without them mentioning where the numbers came from, let alone exactly who the people are behind the institution. This simply gives credibility to the lie and the punters start to believe it and act upon it. why they think it's good economics for people to be handing huge percentages of their income to the banks every month is beyond me. great if you want to curb inflation but stupid when the economy is stalling, like now. the $900 we got earlier this year should have come from the banks not the tax payer. no doubt the media will be grinning all over its commercial face when it reports the $5 BILLION profit EACH of the big four banks will announce at the end of the financial year, again. Also we don't need such a gap between our interest rates and those of say the vulture USA, they borrow money in USA at 0.5% (the financial dogs that is not the working people) and then throw it into Oz at 6%, this has the potential to cause more cheap credit (sub prime anyone?) which leads to greed (for commisions) driven lending...leads to Oz house bubble getting even more ridiculous. as if 9 times average (highest in the OECD) earnings was not stupid enough. it’s not the real estate people per se who are the problem when it comes to misinformation, i mean if you believe a word they say you need have a good think about what you’re doing.

I knew that was a big myth, but now, here is the proof! Now YOU also know it's a myth, like many othe things the Real Estate Agents (Salesmen and Spruikers) have been telling us!
