The Selection Process has Kicked off for the Most Responsible & Worst Real Estate Consultant Decisions Australia ... 2024

I received a story called. Story of corporate moral sin.
The stories of Corporate Greed just Keeps going... well known corporate brands, such as Qantas & BHP. Qantas' Malady: Testament of Corporate Greed
Alan Joyce's abrupt leaving from Qantas may have surprised him, but for many, it was long overdue. After 15 years of prioritising executive profits over customer satisfaction and employee relations, the once-revered airline has become a symbol of corporate Evil. Inheritance of Exploitation
Qantas is just one example of how some corporations have turned customer exploitation into an art form. By creating convoluted refund processes, the airline made it nearly impossible for customers to claim what was rightfully theirs. It's theft, pure and simple. Meanwhile, other companies like BHP, Australia's mining giant, have consistently underpaid employees—30,000 workers, in BHP's case, amounting to $430 million. The common excuse? "Complex industrial laws" or "errors." Yet somehow, no corporation seems to "accidentally" overpay workers. Wage theft continues to plague the Australian workforce, costing over $1.35 billion annually, although accurate numbers remain elusive. Despite this, meaningful legal action has been rare, and government legislation, while introduced with the intent to protect workers, has so far proven ineffective at reining in these corporate giants.
For now, the Qantas flame-out serves as a stark reminder of the widening gulf between corporate leaders and the people they are meant to serve.
Retirement on the North Coast.
My friends Davis and Joan had retired to the South coast where they had many happy memories and became part of a wonderful community. They are a hardworking couple who decided to take responsibility for their retirement by putting their savings into an investment home property.
Lack of Proper Government Legislation to protect the Australian Rental Market.
Investigating these options and reading the clear legal language of these websites we approached one trusted corporate name Hooker where upon we entered into an exclusive Rental Management Agreement. Everything went well until we were notified that our rental property was to be vacated and we could inspect the property.
It was a absolute catastrophe and the person we were originally dealing with was not available, we were informed that we were now to deal with the new property manager Mr Ethan Hood. His cavalier obtuse manner, attitudes and statements with regard to a property that my friends had cared for, about and spent many weeks and months preparing for the Rental market was now laid a wreck, carpets that and reeked of dog urine required removal and disposal. Sealing the floor boards relaying new carpet along with thousands of dollars of repair. I can still remember my friends face going white while recalling Ethan Hood as a person who was completely out of his depth.
Despite the opinions and evidence of professional painters, decorators and other property professionals, he {simply denied the issues and claimed this is how the property was when originally rented to the tenants despite the actual evidence to the contrary|claimed the property did not smell and that the house was ready for rental. Me E Hood had failed to carry out basic and proper Tenant evaluations, ingoing property reports, ongoing property reports and outgoing reports. I came to realise Ethan Hood and L.J Hookers instead of helping to rectify the issues and entering into a proper conciliation process L.J Hookers engaged high end lawyers to intimidate, mislead and and defend the corporations image...
All this led to the deterioration of our relationship with L.J Hooker resulting in us terminating our exclusive property management agreement and signing with Ray White Real Estate.
