Visual pollution, no excuses for it being up 2 months later, a hefty fine should apply.

A HOME-building company owned by a senator, who’s paid a salary of nearly $200,000 from the public purse, has been accused of ripping off clients.

Consumer Affairs Victoria is investigating complaints about Ashford Homes, owned by South Australian Family First senator Bob Day.

Clients have complained of long delays, defective works, and “unfair” contract terms.

Many said they now had two mortgages they could not afford, after delays of up to six months. Some have begun a Facebook page: “Bob Day — Stop the Building Nightmare”.

Senator Day defended his company’s record, saying wet weather over the past year was a significant reason for delays.

Many customers have signed contracts that include compensation of only $1 a week for delays; the industry standard is $250 a week.

Clients have complained of:

DEFECTIVE works and failures to fix faults;

HIGH staff turnover; one client reported four different site managers; and

AN INABILITY to provide a completion time upon request.

Ha ha, it wouldn't have been an issue in the old station before they built it up. Gotta love progress.
I bet the diselels kept running after the blackout though.
Bus to Port Adelaide half an hour before the black out was fine.
