My PM has advised the tenant will be listed on tica.
The neighbour told me today the police know the address off by heart.
Why the previous 2 PM's kept this quiet to me I have no idea.
The rubbish is unbelievable, especially since there were supposed to be 5 children, the youngest 1yr, living in this filth.
There is not a square foot of floor anywhere which did not have rubbish.
I have spent the whole day just filling 20 x 75ltr garbage bags with it, and I still have one bedroom to go.
The kitchen cupboard doors, once had nice solid pine doors but they have been macheted to pieces. One door still had a 15cm solid splinter of wood sticking straight up and was covered with plastic bags. Beyond the cupboard was the toddlers little toy car. That child could have died had it have fallen on that splinter of wood sticking up like a spear. I still shudder at the thought of it.
There is mouse nests and poop from one end of the house, thick, to the other. It is on kitchen benches with food, on the floors with the childs toothbrush amongst it all. I cannot explain how bad it was. Fortunately there are no mice that I have found, because as the child told the neighbour, they got a cat to eat the mice. The kitty litter in the kitchen is evidence of the cat and the lack of mice shows it must have eaten them. But why not clean the droppings off the food bench at least!
There were umpteen empty nebuliser bottles as evidence the children are having breathing difficulties. The house is littered in every room with tossed on the floor cigarette roll your owns. Well at least I think thats what they were, as I didn't look too closely. In the bedroom there were numerous clubs and bats, including one under the childs playpen mattress. There was a homemade bong on the floor in the same room.
According to the neighbour one of the tenants was stabbed and has been treated. Numerous dressing materials on the floor and a scalpel and syringe would appear to confirm.
How do ppl live like this? They have not paid $1 rent for 12 weeks yet they cannot look after their children or clean anything? How much does a disinfectant bottle and mop cost?
I am really angry with these irresponsible parents and get the feeling if there were no baby bonus nor child endowment payments, these children would be dumped in a childcare facility like hot cakes and heathwise, they could be better off.
I feel really sad for these kids and hope somewhere, sometime, the silly parents wake up to themselves and love and nurture them in a safe, clean environment.
Tomorrow I will be taking, Ruby the renovator dog with me so if Les ducks up to the hardware or anything I will not be left alone. The tenants have moved in with neighbours up the same street.
