I need some urgent travel advice. I’m about to visit a country where corruption is rife and government workers aren’t getting paid. Is it OK to slip some cash to the border guards to get through customs quickly? If so, how much? $20 bucks? $50 bucks?

Housing is a human right. It’s just that landlords have more rights than humans do (including the right to deny humans access to housing).

Housing is a 'human right', says new Labor MP Sarah Witty. Turns out she owns four of them
The Adam Bandt-toppling Labor MP owns three rental properties, while claiming to be an advocate for housing. Can she do both?
