CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

Couldn't agree more, GTC.  Appearance and quality, today, can go an get stuffed it seems. There was an ugly development in Cranbourne only a few years ago and the cladding started falling off after 12 fckn months!!!!

The quality of builds today is alarmingly crap. I've watched a few new developments here on the Island and holy mackerel... cheap materials and so many short cuts. And kids Karchering rooves without scaffolding protection...!!! When I left the Navy in '76 I worked on building sites with my father and my brother-in-law who was a builder... every stage of the build had a council inspector go over it with a fine tooth comb. Not today. Standards are rooted.

Neo liberal, cut-red-tape, "small government" crap, which has been generally adopted by Labor as well, in a slightly modified, "lite" version.
