    Agent NOT fined for Deceptive and Misleading practices

    Accommodation crisis - Higher rents on the way

    The AFR changes from one day to the next. I think they have cut and paste well and truely mastered. Take AFR articles with a grain of salt as they are guilty of sensationalism with the best of them.
