Cyclones, culture and heroes are among WA's top photo picks

Here are some of our top photo picks from the past two months of news coverage.

Question for Boston/Cambridge area residents: is it true that property agents in Boston can only charge commission from landlords ? A new rule ?

SO funny if true. They are now putting "NO BROKER FEES" on their zilllow ads so they nonetheless come out as doing the vulnerable tenants a favour. So scummy.

Can't wait till sites like zillow die out or only cater to buying/selling property, not rentals.

Banned NDIS provider filmed entering disability housing

A man banned from working in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and having any contact with the program’s participants has been filmed entering specialist disability housing in Melbourne.

As with people who've been unemployed for a while, another common obstacle to getting into a rental is a lack of recent references. When I was at WINZ the other day I saw a poster for a workshop on creating a "housing CV".

As with references for jobs, there's absolutely no reason housing references can't be ... creative. Stretching the truth just enough to give people who've been without a secure home for a while a fair shot at fixing that.
