Does the prime minister of the landlord party know that you can sell a property whilst it’s tenanted? He probably does.
Evicting a tenant because you want to sell a property is illegal in quite a few countries and I reckon we should consider this in Australia.

The producer of Ben Shapiro's show reached out to me to see if I'd like to discuss Ben's attire on his show. Like with Piers Morgan, since Ben invited feedback, I will do a thread comparing him to a menswear icon—this time, Ralph Lauren's Polo Bear. 🧵
