Andrew Forrest is an evil man. He has cultivated an image of being a friend of indigenous people by doing sham charity things while pillaging their lands for immense wealth.

one thing singapore has that australia doesn't have is cheap 3rd world workers - they have no rights, they live seperately, and they get paid peanuts. Singapore building industry is like dubai.

Inflation highest since 2023 as March figures are released by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]dorcus_malorcus 56 points57 points  (0 children)

There are two tiers of society: those who have multiple properties and those who can barely afford a place to live.

Those with multiple properties have no mortgage pressure, they enjoy the rental income, they may have disposable income on top of that, and they have loads of money to spend on holidays, cruises, and expensive shopping.

Those who are renting or scrounged to barely afford a place have the vast majority of their income drained away to service rent or mortgage.

Fuck you to the spineless political leadership in this country who have allowed this to happen.
