Carman CarrionHOST
And the mountain still keeps its mysteries.
Carman CarrionHOST
In nineteen twenty-four, decades before Hillary and Norgay, two British climbers, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, vanished high on the ridge, last seen as tiny figures moving toward the summit before the cloud swallowed them.
Carman CarrionHOST
To this day, nobody knows whether they reached the top first and died coming down.

Mallory's frozen body was finally found in 1999, 75 years later.

The NAB Head of Economics, Gareth Spence, says, "In our view, the changes to tax settings for investors in existing dwellings imply that gross rental yields will need to rise." For investment properties, it implies an increase in rents of twenty-five percent to thirty percent, assuming house prices are unchanged.
Ben FordhamHOST
The NAB boss, Andrew Irvine, does not see these problems ending anytime soon.
Ben FordhamHOST
He's told the Australian Financial Review, "No one wants to buy an asset that's going to be cheaper in six months.
Ben FordhamHOST
So until house prices find a floor, and they haven't yet, I think people are going to be quite guarded." So you tell me, if you're renting, what rent increases have you put up with already, and what would it do to you if it went up another twenty-five or thirty percent?
