Wow, that video. When I was a student in the 80s/90s we rented places like that in Brunswick and Carlton for $75 a week. Some places had floor collapsing or a roof with a hole in it but we didn't care because between 4 or 5 of us the rent was so fucking cheap. Now to ask $500+ per week for a place that requires the use of a "shit stick" is fucking disgraceful. And the sheer gall of the landlord to turn up in a flash car like that smdh.. in my day the landlord was an old Italian or Greek bloke who turned up in a Sigma or Datsun lol.
I don't know why the power elite chose for Australia to be poor with bad legal protections . They could have so easily chosen to be like Norway and they themselves would have been much richer too, not just the whole country.
So it's not money.
I think they like other people to suffer and to have no power.
I hate to say it, but I think you are right in this. After all, how do you know you've made it unless there are other people standing around suffering, and watching you with what you hope is envy. It isn't envy, but something much worse.
Does Bunnings sell guillotines?
Australia has had strict gun laws since the start. The Brits learnt from America.
So the cunts know they are being cunts, I remember the first thing Kennett did when he got in power, like in the first week, was install bullet proof glass into all the main gov buildings.
That looks like hard work
