Jones and partners are thieves. Had an xray and ultra sound bulk billed by my doctor recently but when I rang them to make an appointment they said they had no appointments available for 4 weeks. But if I paid a gap I could get in the next day. I had to pay it!
That's a friggin rort if I've ever heard one! 4 weeks? Give me a spell! This should be investigated and if found guilty then massive fine or worse.
Fancy praying on the sick. Greedy c***s!
Exactly my thoughts. I feel for people who can’t actually afford to pay it and have to wait
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Just reading an article on builders going broke and the various reasons. Pretty ordinary reading really.
However one point really makes my blood boil is waiting for materials coming from overseas. And because ships need to be re-routed due to the middle east cluster fck so costs go up.
I'm sure we've got everything needed in this country to build houses and commercial buildings. If not, why not!

I get what you’re saying but if we sourced/produced locally it’d cost even more to build unfortunately

Including all the time delay and quality issues?
yes
So why are houses so fckn expensive if we are sourcing cheaper inferior products overseas? Who's making the money if builders are going broke?
the labour. Brickies getting paid over $2/brick, that sort of thing, plus now the government has raised the price of houses by implementing a new NCC code, plus 7 star energy ratings.

A decent brickie and labourer lay 1000 ish a day still? Thats outrageous money.

When you're getting $2 a brick plus GST. No need to bust your arse laying 1000.
Employed a bricky back in January this year laid 3000ish bricks in 5 and a bit days.

Years and years ago, I had an old boss who'd always come back to work on a Wednesday, he swore by the short week after time off.
