They don't. They're a QLD couple that got in trouble for being absolute legends and knocking down their neighbour's drone.

They may not have to maximise profits but the shareholders will question every decision that doesn't maximise profits so the result is the same. That's why activist investors that push companies to more ethical behaviour are important.

That becomes difficult when their homes are now uninsurable. If they can't find a sucker buyer to take it off their hands for enough that they can afford one elsewhere, they're stuck. The govt absolutely needs to step in. If only to save money on disaster relief efforts in future.

TassieTosser , 2 months ago to Lefty Memes in Get rid of landlords...

Being a landlord is supposed to be a job though. They're supposed to maintain the property and handle property related disputes between the tenant and the community. The problem is landlords aren't held to their obligations and are allowed to treat it as a passive investment. Liability for landlords and their property managers needs to be increased. Require a licence for landlording that can be revoked.

TassieTosser , 2 months ago to Lefty Memes in That's literally what they're for (article in comments)

Because union lawyers are on the side of the employee and thier job is to make sure the dismissal was for cause and procedure was followed. It's the same mentality that leads to people saying defense attorneys enable criminals. Like no, they're there to ensure your rights and check the power of the state.

TassieTosser , 3 months ago to Lefty Memes in Dangle them over a shark tank.

We've got about 3k homeless out of a population of around 480k. The vacancy rate is under 1% because of all the short-stay scumbags. We really do need to start confiscating short stay property.

TassieTosser , 4 months ago to Technology in Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’

Vaping is still available in Australia as an aid to quit smoking. It just requires a prescription.

TassieTosser , 4 months ago to Memes in Happy Lunar New Year

The "tahun baru cina" thing used in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei isn't uncommon or disused btw. It's the term used by the native Malay population because Malay is the official language in those countries. A term not used by the cultures celebrating this lunar new year.

Samsung pushed an app in an update that plastered ads for charities all over my lock screen. Disabled that shit and my next phone isn't going to be a Samsung.
