Just a Matter of....

The word 'Trust' has been flying around these past three weeks since the election campaign has begun. The actual campaign 'launch' did not happen till today, by the Coalition Government. Why?
Because until that time, the PM can call an election and then the tax payer is paying for all transport/travel for him and his party to put out their message. As soon as the Launch happens the funding ceases to be!
Cor Blimey!

So HoWARd has been teasing us about 'trust' ever since 2004 when his slogan was "Who Do you Trust on Interest Rates?"
His new slogan was "Go for Growth" but it has had to be abandoned since the Reserve Bank has reported that our economic growth is too hot and has raised the rates again last week and most likely will do again next month or definitely by February 2008.

So who do we trust?

HoWARd has been banging on and on about how dangerous the Union movement is in Australia. He is pulling out all the stops for the fear campaign to bite.
He declares with a slobbering lip sucking delight that 70% of the Labor front bench have been union people.
Well der! Since the Union movement created the Labor Party in the first place waddya expect?

So who do you trust?
The Liberal Party members?
What jobs did they do before they went into politics?

Let's look at a poll on who are the most trustworthy professions.

Guess what?

I hesitate to tell you this, but I happen to have a license as a real estate broker. I am also a member of the National Association of REALTORS®,

I am also a real estate instructor. As such, I teach folks who want to become agents.

One of the primary things I impress upon them is to...

serve others, care about those you serve and share the love in your heart.

Try not to throw the baby out with the bath water, please.

lol.

I know what you do Jack.
Just stating the facts, sir, just the facts.
Having sold and bought our homes over the years it is hard to believe anything the Estate agent says.
My daughter, however, worked for a real estate agent as a receptionist for a while and the difference was that they had a 'code of ethics' written into their guarantee.
It proved very interesting.

As with my experiences Jack, "don't throw the baby etc". You just might come to understand them one day.
