It appears the new rules have been watered down again since they were first mentioned on the radio.

Mentioned on the radio! What SHOCK JOCK said that?

No worries Indy I've put you down for a very spacious 6'x 4' tent at your new abode down there at Sunny Gulag, cold in winter, and hot in summer, you'll love it. Just got the weather report for Sunny Gulag, today top temp of -27C and 120 km/hr winds, good to see the weather is improving! Its going to be a nice day.

You are simply incapable of good, responsible sense. Just because I didn't bring up racism you have nothing but idiotic quibble to contribute.
Doesn't it occur to you that mentioning that particular rule proposal on the sly could have been just testing the waters ?

Indy,

You said; "in Qld for example, the State Govt has introduced rules which allow a tenant to make alterations to the building without the owner's consent." Show where those rules have been introduced in Queensland by the State Government. YOU MADE THAT UP. I'm not defending the Palaszczuk Government, they make enough cock-up's as it is, but its not okay to tag em' with something they haven't done. Now you are saying; "mentioning that particular rule proposal on the sly could have been just testing the waters"

Well isn't that a different position liar. So you have retreated from "introduced rules" to "mentioning...proposal...testing the waters" Why didn't you tell the truth in the first place, do you just want to lie, when it concerns those you despise?

As for racism, since you mentioned it, you are one of the forums leading racists, that's obvious. No need to mention it.

Paul1405,
Just give me time till the information is available again !

Paul1405,
The new changes are that the tenant can authorise "repairs" to the value of 4 weeks rent. Several months back when we heard about this on a radio programme figures of up to $10,000 were brought up. It may just be that the feedback since last year when all this started has made them rethink the final introduction for October this year.
I will follow this through with our local real estate agent & see what their take is on this.
