A tiny garden studio in Sydney’s outskirts has hit the rental market for $375 a week.Well, at least that's over... for now. It really wasn't going to end any other way. Ultimately, the Australian government (on behalf of the Australian people) has the power and the responsibility for controlling who comes to Australia - and so it should.

The number of high rise buildings with defects or fail to meet building standards is a real and serious concern. For clients settling on new or off-the-plan apartments, their fear of defects is justified. It's no longer just a possibility, but rather a possibility or even an expectation. For those who have settled over the last few weeks, it's not the kind of thing they wanted to have to deal with over the Christmas period. Really takes the excitement away from buying a new home.
