Joe (Loudmouth),

I enjoy the links you post. I couldn't open those though, sorry.

Beach, your attempt to mask your bigoted raciest attitudes is pathetic. Your claim that agents have an obligation to apply due diligence when determining the suitability of a prospective tenant, that at first glace reasonable, and I don't argue with that. Unfortunately in the past, many agents had the same raciest attitudes to Aboriginal people as you exhibit. It was common practice to simply apply the colour bar, white your in, black your out.

Beach, it might shock you, and come as a complete surprise, but many people do not want to meekly submit to that authoritarian police state you see as the ideal for society, with you and the like minded Jim Saleam, goose stepping all over others rights and freedoms, Fortunately you are only a member of the extreme right minuscule minority, which no thinking person would take seriously.

Sorry, OTB, those documents were pdf and I'm buggered if I know how to make them readable on Word or doc. or whatever, without paying Adobe.

Hi Paul,

I look forward to the day when you have something to actually say, instead of all that over-the-top diatribe - which is always a good sign that the diatriber has nothing left in his quiver.

We gave our son a deposit for a house 15-odd years ago, but he couldn't afford to live in it, so he put in tenants. Living a sheltered life, I had no idea there were so many drop-kicks out there: after each useless lot had decamped owing rent, we usually had to spend another few months repairing, re-painting, cleaning, getting the yard back to scratch, and so on - the equivalent of half-a-year's lost income, plus rates, etc., at least three or four times now.

The only consolations were that they lost their bond, and hopefully were put on a RE agent list of bad future tenants, branded on their foreheads with "D-K", and forced to live in tents. No, he has not yet had Aboriginal tenants, only useless white fellas.

Hi Joe, you may not agree, but I was only alluding to the fact that in the past Aboriginal people were excluded from the rental market for no other reason than they were black. Beach tried to mask that bigoted racism with the nonsense that agents were simply apply due diligence when excluding Aboriginal people from rental properties. There was no 100 point check list involved, it was often the one point check list, if your white your in, if your black your out.
Do you also dispute what I say?

Your sons property, unfortunately it is the case far to often.

Hi Paul,

No, of course not. But on the other hand, I recall that people on the 'Mission' tended to have a rather casual attitude to houses: one time, the Council wanted to knock three down and get Federal funding for three more brand-new ones, but I cleaned them up after work, over about three months, they were pissed off, but they had six houses. [Incidentally, a DAA bloke came up and we ascertained that the most crowded housing was occupied by the white staff. That also pissed off the Council no end.]

Another place was built in 1976-1977 with all the whizz-bang bits and pieces, solar panels (they lasted about six months) but that house was gone, jut a vacant block, by 1996.

But what with stereotyping, what you say is true.

Joe
