		<description>Yes Stuart, I absolutely agree that the answer to a lot of the homeless and low-income problems rests in encouraging them to move out to regional areas.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t see the point of relating this issue to immigration, Kevin. They&#039;re separate issues.</description>

		<description>The lack of action by our so-called government also makes one realise if the lower than used car salesman politicians are not affected by votes, they will do nothing. As for the sexual attacks on tenents, if found guilty the offenders need to have their balls hacked off with blunt cold hacksaw blade to stop their genes infecting the human race.</description>

		<description>Ray, I am not a bigot at all. Just an observer. Not all immigrants are greasy arseholes in the rental business, but you will find almost all greasy arseholes in the rental business are immigrants. Don&#039;t believe me? Go and ask any estate agent who deals with rentals in poorer areas. The dog turds Pisani, Maatouk, Oshan and Tomarchio are in a class of their own. A suitable punishment would be removal of all their assets and imprisonment with hard labour all in the one cell each issued with a pack of free condoms.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;{This comment has been edited, as I cannot be certain that some allegations it made were true - RD}&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

ray, actually those pieces of shit are ALL immigrants! wat evidence do i have?? i live in (a boarding house) .. xxxxxx aka xxx is my house manager..
they are not italian, greek or middle eastern, they are maltese, samoan.. i have come across alot of the house managers &amp; only 1 is an aussie..

they are scum! selfish dogs!
i get treated well only because i am &quot;friends&quot; with 1 of them.
but most other tenents dont get shit. if they want to b moved to a nicer house they are ignored, if they dont pay their rent on time they are threatened..
these managers are money hungry dogs LOL but at the same time they threaten and treat these tenents like shit because they are. u get junkies living there, running off without paying a cent and stealing property from the house thats not theres. they damage property.. if u are a decent tenent and just do ur own thing then they look after u.. 

in relation to the sleazy activities, 1 house manager has tried to have sex with me numerous times since i have been in this accommodation, &amp; a friend was offered stripping work..  they hav recently sacked alot of managers because the boss is worried about media coverage some of there actions will cause.. they are only interested in these things :

		<description>You&#039;re obviously not &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; Kevin. I don&#039;t think the PM would express such racist sentiments. What evidence do you have that it&#039;s only a &quot;certain type of immigrant landlord&quot; behind these sleazy activities? How do you know where John Pisani, George Maatouk, Arthur “Arty” Oshan and Joe Tomarchio were born? There seems to be a mixture of ethnicities in those names including Italian, Greek &amp; Middle Eastern. Why are you such a bigot?</description>

		<description>This form of greed is typical from a certain type of immigrant landlord. These greasy arseholes don&#039;t give a stuff about anyone else except themselves and they should never have been allowed into this country in the first place. Best thing is to put them in a dinghy and dump them in the middle of the Pacific and let them paddle back to the old country. In any case, the law needs to lay charges against them and have them thrown in prison.</description>

		<description>Have you considered moving away from Melbourne, nifty? If you&#039;re only working 1 or 2 days a week I think you might find you could get at least that amount of work, or maybe more, in a major regional centre like Bendigo, Ballarat, Shepparton or Albury-Wodonga. And the housing opportunities are probably better. It&#039;d be a big move but it might be worth looking into it. Cheers and thanks for your comment.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately the Govt tends to turn a blind eye to a lot of this because the scums are taking a problem off their hands. They&#039;re aware of it and even support these crappy practices via the mental health authorities who help arrange accommodation but it takes an article like the one in The Age to get them to even acknowledge something needs to be done about it.</description>

		<description>You have a valid point about mental illness and ciggies, Ray, but I don&#039;t buy that all smokers are mentally ill. That being the case ...

As for people (do they have the right to that category?) that prove their social standing is lower than a shithouse rat&#039;s dustmites, gimme an M16 for crissakes.</description>

		<description>The thing about mentally ill people &amp; smoking, JR, is that the receptors in their brains are stuffed and nicotine actually helps them to function mentally by stimulating them. The receptors then &#039;demand&#039; more of the drug, which is better than buying heroin. Although obviously it doesn&#039;t help their lungs or wallets.

It&#039;s a sad state of affairs but even the poor &amp; disabled are entitled to their vices.

What do you reckon about those landlord bastards though?</description>

		<description>No money for bond but they can afford to smoke @ today&#039;s prices for coffin nails? I&#039;m sure that it&#039;s only one side of the many sided coin, Ray, but shit a brick.</description>
