Property Company Sells Aborigines In Redfern Out.

[icyfroth]

NSW Aboriginal Affairs minister Victor Dominello has referred to the anti-discrimination board revelations that a company spruiking “Luxurious apartments for sale in Redfern” claimed Aboriginal people had “moved out” of the inner-­Sydney suburb in order to lure buyers

Mr Dominello said he has referred the matter to the president of the anti-discrimination board because he was appalled.

He said he would report back on its investigation.

Great Fortune Investments’ advertising for the Dei Cota apartments has outraged Aboriginal leaders including Warren Mundine and Mick Gooda, who warned that the treatment of indig­enous people in the area ­affected social cohesion.

The company website stated: “Dei Cota has good rental return and convenient location. The Aboriginals have already moved out, now Redfern is the last virgin suburb close to city, it will have great potential for the capital growth in the near future.”

The company removed the ­reference yesterday after being approached by The Australian.

The building has been developed by Deicorp, a private company owned by developer Fouad Deiri.

DeiCorp has also been engaged by the Aboriginal Housing Co for its Pemulwuy Project, a $70 million redevelopment of the nearby area known as The Block.

If anyone needed proof of complete disregard and disdain the rapacious foreign developers have for the concerns or the Australian people, this would be it.

yes a terrible thing to say but not a foreign company icyfroth, it's an Australian company. Just as the NSW Lieberal Govt is Aussie and a hundred fold worse when it comes to showing disdain for Australians, well those that aren't wealthy anyway.

NSW government rejects option allowing Millers Point residents to stay

The NSW government has rejected a report showing evictions of Millers Point public housing tenants could damage Sydney's economy and that vulnerable elderly people should be exempt from the move.

Community Services Minister Gabrielle Upton has dismissed the findings by a leading economics consultancy, despite pledging support earlier for a government adviser who is considering the report.

I actually posted a thread about that when the decision had been made to sell them off. It's an outrage, and I said so at the time.
