We are in a state of shock here at Flat Chat, wondering if, when David Chandler and Victor Dominello both go, and with dodgy developers already circling the bleeding carcass of Fair Trading like vultures, are we going to be back to the bad old days of seriously defective apartment blocks being the norm? We had no idea when we recorded this podcast that Victor Dominello was about to announce his resignation. NSW Fair Trading is obviously spying on us. We reached this conclusion after weeks of recording the podcast only to find out that, as soon as it was in the can, yet another high-profile departure would be announced. But we were pretty sure that this week we had it covered. A trip to Canberra for the writers festival, plus the resumption of my teaching gig, meant we didn't get this podcast done and dusted until Tuesday morning. No last minute resignations – hurrah! Then, on Wednesday, Sue stepped on a plane for South Africa, rendering her uncontactable and therefore unrecordable for 18 hours.  Minutes later, the news dropped that former, and currently caretaker Fair Trading Minister Victor Dominello is pulling the plug on his political career. It's due to health reasons and very sad; you can read about it here. He was an innovator and hard worker and one of the best Fair Trading ministers this state has ever had However, we still found a lot to discuss about the latest Fair Trading and NSW cabinet schemozzles on this week's podcast and Sue took a punt on who the latest cabinet minister to walk the plank would be. And no, it wasn't Victor. Also, we look at another collapsing (or maybe not) building in Sydney's inner west and Sue becomes strataguru for a day when I fire your questions from the Forum at her. While you consider that, I'm off to get my office swept for Fair Trading bugs. I'm not really worried – they'll probably stop working as soon as the warranty runs out.   TRANSCRIPT IN FULL Jimmy  00:00 David Chandler is going, John Minns has gone. Eleni Petinos has gone, Stuart Ayres is gone; who's next? Sue  00:07 Yes! Maybe, Dominic Perrottet? Jimmy  00:10 Well, we'll see. We'll be talking about that and other much more interesting (and less important things), from the forum, later on. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  00:22 And I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  00:25 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Jimmy So, you think Dominic Perrottet is in danger of losing his job? Sue  00:45 Well, all these things are happening under his reign, aren't they, really? And I mean, obviously, he wasn't... Well, we don't know, but we must assume that he probably wasn't a part of it, because the origins of all these scandals started a long time ago. But, he was obviously a power broker within the party. Jimmy  01:00 Well, you know, they say that it's not the crime that gets you, it's the cover-up.  I'm not suggesting for a moment, that any crime has occurred. Sue  01:08 Of course not. Or, any cover-up! Jimmy  01:13 Perrottet sacked Petinos, within a day of coming back from an overseas trip, on the (I was going to say pretext), grounds that she had been bullying (or she had been accused of bullying), in her office. And this was kind of backed-up by quite a lot of turnover of staff. Sue  01:38 But then he denied it was anything to do with David Chandler, didn't he? Jimmy  01:42 He did. And then we saw David Chandler's letter, where he detailed; well it sort of suggested that pressure had been brought to bear by first of all, Petinos and then John Barilaro, who has got his own set of scandals to deal with. And then in that letter, David Chandler said his position was untenable. Sue  02:08 It was a pretty explosive letter, wasn't it, really? Jimmy  02:10 Yes and he said 'this is not negotiable.' He said 'I'm leaving,

If there is one area of NSW Liberal politics that may be glad that the kerfuffle over the appointment of a trade envoy to New York is drawing so much media attention and political heat, it will be anyone associated with Fair Trading. When we sat down to record this week's podcast and discuss – among other things – the departure of Property Services Commissioner John Minns, we had no idea how chaotic things had become there. To misquote Oscar Wilde, to lose one commissioner is unfortunate, to lose two looks like carelessness. The departure of Commissioner Minns occurred in the same week that Building Commissioner David Chandler announced he was cutting short his extended tenure, and Minister Eleni Petinos was summarily dismissed. Now we can report that Mr Minns' resignation seems to be closely related to a hastily concocted plan to replace him (eventually, if and when parliament gets round to it) with a statutorily appointed independent commissioner. Ironically (or is it predictably?), his temporary replacement has been drawn from Small Business, the part of her portfolio that consumed most of former Minister Petinos' energy and attention during her short tenure. And in another irony, MS Petinos first came to prominence in a sexting scandal involving former Fair Trading minister, Matthew Kean, who has been elevated to deputy premier following the resignation of Stuart Ayres, yet another former Fair Trading Minister. Were our colleagues in the media not consumed with what John ‘Porky' Barilaro did or didn't do and Stuart Ayres did or didn't know about the New York gig, surely they'd be all over this like a cheap suit. It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.   That's just a small part of this week's podcast.  We also discuss how the brutalist or modernist, or brutally modernist  high rise block looming over Tamarama beach has been given a reprieve following a major speed bump in its process of renewal. We chat about the NCAT case which established that tenants can take legal action against owners corporations to force them to fix defective common property. We have a look at the block where a majority of owners want to take one neighbour to NCAT for being a nuisance … by continually making successful complaints about their businesses to the local council. And we ask, if the victims of flood damage can get their homes bought off them by the government, why can't the poor benighted owners of flats in Mascot Towers be bailed out in the same way? That's all in this week's Flat Chat Wrap. TRANSCRIPT IN FULL Jimmy  00:00 Well, the fallout from various ministries in New South Wales continues; we'll be hearing about the Property Services Commissioner and his sudden departure. Sue  00:13 Gosh, where will it all end? Jimmy  00:16 And, we've got a couple of things from the website, plus some news about that big building at Tamarama. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  00:29 I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  00:32 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Jimmy So it seems Property Commissioner, John Minns, has quit, as well as David Chandler. Sue  00:53 Wow! It's a complete fallout, isn't it really? Jimmy  00:56 Well, you know, we heard that David Chandler hasn't actually left, but he's cut short his extended appointment and then, apparently the same week, John Minns, the Property Commissioner, left the office. Sue  01:12 Why was that, do you know? Jimmy  01:14 Well, I think it might be something to do with the fact that they didn't even realise he was there, because you had trouble getting through to him, didn't you? Sue  01:23 Yes, I was doing a story and someone suggested John Minns would be the perfect person to give me a comment, so I contacted his office... They said "I'm sorry, do you mean Chris Minns (who's the leader of the opposition)?...

The jobs scandal engulfing the New South Wales state government that saw deputy premier Stuart Ayres resign from cabinet this week is not going anywhere fast. The crisis began when former Nationals MP John Barilaro was appointed to a $500,000 a year New York trade role nearly seven weeks ago and continues today, amid further revelations this week about how involved Ayres was in the controversial appointment. The belated dumping of Ayres, after he insisted for weeks that he played no role in the recruitment process, is just the start of problems the besieged coalition faces. Premier Dominic Perrottet's standing and authority has been weakened, and with further damaging revelations being made daily in the parliamentary enquiry into Barilaro's appointment, questions are being asked about the future of his leadership.

Foreign affairs is still a dominant issue for the Albanese government – and why not – so many relationships to repair after a neglectful nine years of Coalition government which left the Pacific islands behind.The Prime Minister is also putting out the strong message to the world that there is a new government in office and is taking climate change seriously. But words are one thing; action is another, and we'll have to wait to see what Labor actually does on climate change, once parliament meets and starts implementing government policy.The case against Bernard Collaery has been dropped and it's about time. The case had been going on for too long and it shows that governments can act when they want to. This all relates to events from 2004, when the Australian government (allegedly) bugged the offices of East Timor President, Xanana Gusmao, to gain an upper hand in the negotiations in the Timor Sea oil agreements. It's a sordid tale, but one the public will never find out about, even after the Cabinet papers are released in 2024, which surely will set some kind of record when it comes to redactions of official documents.And speaking of corruption and sordid tales, more information is being revealed about the US Trade Commissioner job that landed on the lap of John Barilaro: this is a clear case of (allegedly) corrupt behaviour. How on earth the NSW Government thought they could get away with it deserves a special credit. If there was a court of political incompetence, Barilaro and Stuart Ayres would be serving life sentences for political stupidity, especially in the context of a NSW state election, just eight months away.And it seems that governments have forgotten about the pandemic, even though 95% of COVID cases have occurred in 2022, as have 80% of all COVID-related deaths. The federal government decided that Pandemic Leave Disaster Payments were not going to be continued, before they finally came to their senses and reversed their bad decision. If only governments could stop toying with the electorate and remembered that we're still in the middle of a pandemic, and it's far from over.

The New South Wales treasurer Dominic Perrottet will be the state's next Premier, with Stuart Ayres set to serve as as his deputy.Mr Perrottet formally declared his candidacy at a press conference in Sydney on Sunday night, with Rob Stokes also a contender.The NSW Treasurer earlier said the decision was ultimately a matter for the party room on Tuesday.“Over the last 48 hours, I've had the opportunity to discuss with my wife, Helen, my family and my colleagues, my intention to nominate today as the Liberal leader of the parliamentary party,'' he said.“I do so, alongside the Minister for jobs as Stuart Ayres... as my deputy leader. We believe it is a team that will provide stability, unity and experience.”Mr Perrottet paid tribute to the “tireless dedication of our premier Gladys Berejiklian.”“There is no doubt that NSW is a much better place today because of the tireless dedication of our premier,” he said.“During the last 18 months as I, as her deputy and as treasurer worked very closely with her as we navigated through droughts through fires in through this pandemic, and New South Wales and be stronger today because of her tireless, servant leadership to the people of New South Wales.“The last 18 months have been incredibly tough, but I have no doubt that New South Wales will come through this difficult time, just like we did last year, to not just recover, but to come out the other side, much stronger.“I know that this is a time of challenge in our state but I have complete hope and optimism that NSW is in a very good place.”Premier Gladys Berejiklian resigning after an ICAC investigation announcement.
