“ In an interview with the ABC, the Honourable Rose Jackson casually dropped that she thought Sydneysiders could get a two-bedroom rental for the price of four bags of groceries.

“What do you reckon is a reasonable price to pay in rent for a two-bedroom flat in Sydney?” presenter Hamish MacDonald asked the Minister.

“Sydney’s a big city, you know, I mean, a couple of hundred bucks right?” she replied.”

I suppose it could be worse?

You can rent a single room on the outskirts of Cairns for twice that much ($400 a week) but only if you're a good looking female under 25.

Unbelievable that BS like this is allowed to happen, and I suspect this is just the 'tip of the iceberg'.

Oh, and perhaps the "Honourable" (way past time to get rid of that misleading title for all pollies, by the way) Rose Jackson was thinking of a couple of hundred bucks a day for a two-bedroom flat in Sydney?

And, if you need a place to rent in Victoria, how about this?

$460 a week.

Yes, and not just mould. One recent listing even had an old, dirty fireplace 'photoshopped' out of one of the pictures.

Grotesque. Embarrassed

We had pricks advertising crap like that around here after the 2022 flood when housing was in a very severe shortage. One I remember even stated that if the woman put out their rent could be reduced.

Reminds me of those Doll Houses (70's style) girls used to play in.

Actually, someone who replied to that X thread had a bit of a suspicion that ad was just trolling:

But, who knows these days? Maybe they didn't have the time (or the intelligence) to take their own photo and used that instead?
