I live in a retirement village where Housing NSW is involved in a 'joint venture' with the local council and a religious body. This means half its occupants are lowly public housing tenants and the other swanky self-funded residents. It's apartheid social class-style. In mid-2007 the Office of Fair Trading told me that as a PHT I was covered by the RVA along with the other lot. But then Housing NSW caught wind of what I was doing and told the OFT to remove the 'joint venture' clause from the RVA which it did at the end of last year. This means that now PHTs living in joint venture retirement villages are now only covered by a standard lease under the Residential Tenancy Act. This conveniently sweeps any claims of discrimation or harassment under the mat because they are not covered by this act. What a scurrilous lot this Labor government are.OUT IN THE OPEN, Sydney, NSW Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025535476225807192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13936746.post-947667314582229162009-09-22T12:58:34.749+10:002009-09-22T12:58:34.749+10:00It's all their own fault too 'cos they:

I don't imagine grubby homeless peasants were very interesting to His Bobness... maybe grubby homeless peasants in Imperial Rome he might have given thought to, but not from contemproray Sydney. <br /><br />It's all good good for the motel owners but hey... 900 bucks a week from the government per room, no shortage of customers, no-one interested in making sure of quality of service/accomodation is up to scratch... too easy. I wonder how much money for jam they are scooping up from the public purse in the whole temporary accomodation scam. I guess it would be in nsw sate gov't budget papers, in other juriusdictions tender details for such contracts are publicly available. CheersLuvYaWorknoreply@blogger.com
