I'm currently looking to talk with renters who have used a digital portal / app to conduct their own routine rental inspection without the real estate agent coming to your house. This is sometimes called a 'Remote Inspection'
If this is you, please get in touch!

Since our very first issue Meanjin and Overland have been comrades, mates, rivals, and drinking buddies. The UMP board’s decision is a shockingly myopic act of cultural vandalism which will grievously harm the Australian literary community.

Where is Anthony Albanese in calling the attack on the First Nations Camp Sovereignty a hate crime, a terrorist act? There could not be a more blatant attack that is motivated by racial hatred and white supremacy and yet First Nations communities are again failed by this Government.
