Ive seen all of the above , in the early 2000s i was project managing for a houso contractor in Mt Druitt , Liverpool , Campbelltown , Glebe , Waterloo and Lalor Park. Abos were not really a large percentage of the welfare dependant clientele but as for filthy living conditions they would have been the worst. I did ask one cross eyed inbred abo skank why she chose to live in such squalor and she said thats what her parents were like!!! All the surrounding houses were neat and tidy and i said thats not the way it is , just look around you. It never sank in , that house must have had a refurb every year or so and before long it was back to the same old run down state. farking waste of taxpayers money. I used to feel sorry for people before i worked in that job but now i just hope the vermin die and make space for those who genuinely need help.

you just need to drive through the housing commission areas to see how many look after public assets. Boarded up and burnt down houses, vacant blocks where houses once stood, heavily vandalised houses. Funny thing is, or sad thing, people still live in some of these houses even though they are almost inhabitable. But it's their choice!!
There was a gov place next to a friends house that was that run down by tennents and woud not let maitenance personal in, that when they got the tennent out it had to be demolished.

Well the ploy for the power company's to install split systems and remove other types is working well for them. My friend told me now she has a column heater going as well as the split system as the split system is now not heating the lounge room where before just the gas heater that the goverment removed would do both areas. Also because it was -3 the other morning it took quite awile for it to start up and make heat where with gas it's instant.
I have been asked why I have not removed the wall heater in the lounge room it's because when I want heat I want it now not when the split system can defrost it's self.

splits don't like frosty weather. We had one in Mt Beauty and when it was in the defrost cycle the room would cool right down. We had to have a panel heater running as well lol.
The new thing in public housing is tiny houses.
See the link below, they are trying to bring them in down my way. The guy in the pic has his car parked next to the 2 tiny homes and is there 10 hours a day while no one looks at them.
They have already gone in elsewhere

There is a big advertising campaign here to get rid of your part time appliance(gas) and go split system (electric).
Sound good but I recken there will be some disapointed people when like my split system cuts out and stops heating when -3 or lower outside as the systm has to thaw it's self.
It's not to bad when the room is already warm but when your trying to warm it up thats when it's annoying.

I suppose it really comes down to where you are.....most of Melbourne for example wouldn't see -3.
I have ducted gas, but to save money I use the Daikin 7kw/8kw all weekend as I am on TOU rates and all weekend is offpeak at around 12 cents a kw/h. So cheaper than gas thats for sure.
Over night is off peak as well and during the day, even on peak rates of 20 something cents, I have an 8kw solar system so even on a shitty day its still affordable.
The only problem is the Daikin struggles to heat the whole house due to its size and length.
I reckon you could fart in one of those tiny homes and stay warm for a week

That would be nice it's a mid 1960 built 4 bed. Igloo's would be warmer.I reckon you could fart in one of those tiny homes and stay warm for a week

The Daikin split system I have heats the boozer in my shed pretty well. Especially effective with the ceiling fans on low... :-)
Nice.
I've also often wondered why they can't convert those old P&O/Evergreen/Maersk shipping containers that just stand there and pile up outside harbours into some sort of housing. They can be stacked, locked together, decked out inside, whatever, because they are like large LEGO-blocks essentially, and more importantly -- a big, strong, straight and well-built, steel box.
Then you need land to place them, power, gas, sewerage, telco.................................its cheaper to build timber frame hardi plank cladding housing that can become broken down slums reaaaaaaly fast with the wrong tenants
Re abo 'housing', not much surprises me re the folly of housing animals in modern design and construction housing, had a no homes west contract last century doing new house 6~12 month maintenance plus repairs to some older abodes.............pure insanity
A concrete box with a tin roof would be the ideal accommodation for some of the least house trained but the hand wringer/do gooders would kick up a fuss
They allready do have acomodation like that but there all full.

Yes! I don’t know why more people don’t do this when they use wall mounted air conditioners for heating.
The split system, high on the wall sucks in the already warm air at ceiling level, then blows it out into the room, where that hot air rises to the top. You end up with a layer of cold air below knee height. A ceiling fan fixes this problem.
