He's not wrong. Jeremy 'parliamentary friend of Israel' has essentially been cheating and helping out his own factional mates in the past two preselections and stacked the disputes committee to get away with it.

Abbott had a once-in-a lifetime mandate to reset government. And he blew it.

He was what the Americans call a “cuckservative”, a cuckolded conservative. He wimped out in office, tried to appease the left and sold out conservatives.

That is from the article, not the comments.

Melbourne landlord blasted for installing coin-operated toilet


A MELBOURNE landlord has been blasted online after a tenant revealed he had installed a coin-operated toilet in the house, requiring the tenants to pay per flush.
That’s right, the stingy landlord and owner of an apartment property in Thornbury has reportedly equipped the toilet with a mechanism that means residents have to pay $1 to flush the dunny.
Unsure about the legality of such a contraption, the tenant posted the story on forum-based social media website reddit to ask the community if the landlord was allowed to do this.
“I understand in our laundry having to pay for the communal washing machine. But I pay the water bill that goes into my apartment,” the tenant wrote.
“[The landlord] said it was a government incentive to save water. But then why does he get to collect the money?”
As you might expect, the tenant said it makes it very awkward to entertain guests.
“The worst thing is not having any dollar coins on hand. Especially when I have guests over. It’s really embarrassing and gross for them.”
Such is the ridiculousness of coin-operated toilet that the post was initially removed because reddit moderators on the Melbourne subreddit didn’t believe the story was true.
But the tenant has since posted proof of the situation by sharing a picture of the toilet and the post has been republished.



Plenty of reddit users condemned the landlord’s actions, suggesting it was illegal for him to charge tenants for using the toilet.
“Yes, that is highly illegal,” wrote one.
“This guy is ripping you off in a most heinous way,” wrote another.
The tenant said they have now sought legal advice over the issue.
“At least with the help of others I have been using tips and also a lawyer has sent me her details to help me out with the legal side of things. So I’m glad I made this post,” they wrote.
news.com.au has contacted the tenant for comment.

Libertarian landlord spotted. Calling it now.

Wonder if the tenant will be able to claim back all their rent since their apartment doesn't appear to have a usable toilet.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”

In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.

From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.

“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.

Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”
