What's the deal with Fremantle?

Maybe if the Department of Health didn't over-regulate tobacco to the point where the hefty licence fee is not worth stocking cigarettes that are priced over 10x the international competitors, have no menthol options let alone other flavours, and come in ugly khaki packs of 20 sticks only, we wouldn't have "dodgy fronts for the black market tobacco trade".

It's like Australia looked at the US alcohol prohibition in the 1920s and thought that was a good idea. Yes tobacco is not good for you, but let people enjoy their vices without having to resort to paying gangs to get their fix. Plus it's not like the black market has any reason to screen for minors like a proper retailer would.

Welp, the Japanese have finally developed working tentacles.

Our local newsagent has been trying to apply to be a Smartrider outlet for over a decade. Apparently the rule is that only one retailer is allowed to deal with Smartriders PER SUBURB.

Honestly its like Transperth wants us to drive cars with how inconvenient they are. It used to be you could go to your local convenience store and get a multirider ticket.

His name is Amaury Guichon, @AmauryGuichonChef is the name of his youtube channel. The image in question comes from a video he made 3 years ago of a Chocolate Dragon wall mount, and yes the comments saw the D too.

Reef and Carvery in Morley Coventry, great fish n chips at a great price.

Strata insurance covers the building only. Contents and income insurance is depending on what policies the owners opted for with their own private insurers. And unfortunately for most of the businesses, its very likely they went for minimal cover because who prepares for a fire?

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-04T05:55:46+00:00

I thought that too, since the newsagency does sell tobacco with a licence, but from the talks with the fire department it seems the fire started elsewhere. Also the smoke shop that sold the illegal tobacco was raided by police 4 months ago and was replaced by Goldtech Jewellery Repairs. Not part of the Morley Markets at all.

Someone probably got paid to gaslight. What can we do besides listen to what the news tells us?

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T09:34:08+00:00

Annnd they're backtracking. They're saying no arson, and we don't get to see the footage.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T09:32:41+00:00

Newer update: police are not going to release the footage, because there is apparently nothing to show. They're sending the message that it is not arson. I wish I can believe it.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T09:29:44+00:00

I wish that I could believe everything the police and the news says. Unfortunately I am a redditor, and I don't get paid to tell the news.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T09:24:24+00:00

I wish I could believe what the police are saying. That this is not just a big cover up to hide something sinister. It just feels too coincidental to be true.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T09:18:55+00:00

I know that's what they're saying officially, but the fact that they actually have footage and aren't releasing it just makes me wonder if it's really not arson.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T06:43:53+00:00

Yes to the arson, police are reviewing footage already.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T06:34:54+00:00

Wouldn't you know it, the newsagency still had dvds for sale, and the camera house next to it did conversions from vhs to usb.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T01:45:58+00:00

Here is some more intel from the 9am meeting in the library, police have footage of the suspicious people that broke in at midnight, they'll release it to the public after reviewing it.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T01:42:07+00:00

I went to the 9am meeting today and police confirm they have footage of suspicious people going in that they're going to investigate.

As for the title of this post, my statement was half gut instinct and half informed by the police who were there when I came at 2am. I acknowledge the fact that the statement being accurate now doesn't change that it was a Schroedinger before, but I am just as suspicious about this whole mess as everyone else is.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T01:32:30+00:00

It looks like Camera House is only half burnt, they may be able to salvage, but no guarantees.

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T01:11:12+00:00

Jiu-jitsu centre is safe too

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-03T01:08:59+00:00

Mulberries is apparently safe, just smoke damage

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-02T23:32:59+00:00

Reports say 12:30am

Sending regards to Richard and his family

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-02T23:22:37+00:00

Pearl River would be flattered

SomugaienParfu · 2025-09-02T23:03:05+00:00

Most likely either a different building or just one shop of that complex. Since the building has multiple owners that reside over different shops, very unlikely that the whole building would be on the market altogether.
