A distraught single father has shared photos of his children sleeping on mattresses on the floor after revealing he had been turned away from more than 450 rental homes. Ash Brown, 32, and their two children have been homeless for six months despite relentless efforts to find a home, with the family living at the grandparents’ home in Adelaide. After sharing his story on TV and pleading for help to give his children the home they deserve, the young father is bombarded with messages from trolls saying that the landlord turned him down because of his facial tattoo. With pictures not included on most normal rental apps, the father believes his facial tattoo – ‘Blessing’ written above his brow – has nothing to do with his struggles to find a place to live. Mr Brown and his son were forced to share a mattress on the floor while his daughter slept on the cushions of the sofa next to them. Now taking anti-depressants to help him cope with the horror situation, Mr Brown told Daily Mail Austral

Adelaide Oval wants to bring back canned drinks for football fans, quietly moving to change its liquor license to allow it to sell beer in aluminum cans. Key points: Police union fears canned drinks could be used as missiles The Oval says moving to cans will reduce waste The state government will carefully consider the proposal But the move was opposed by the South Australian Police Association, which today raised concerns that the decision puts the officers on patrol at the risk at risk. Association president Mark Carroll said the sale of canned beer was previously banned after it was used as a projectile against police. The Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority said selling the cans would reduce the amount of waste that has to be processed and be more environmentally friendly. But Mr Carroll argued it was a policy that would end up hurting someone. “It’s a romantic notion isn’t it, but there’s a reason aluminum cans are banned from stadiums across Australia and that’s because th

Home prices are expected to rebound within a year in Australia’s smaller capital as Sydney and Melbourne’s values ​​plunged into double digits. The Reserve Bank of Australia is widely expected to continue raising interest rates in 2022 and early 2023 to tackle worst inflation in two decades, with more pain expected in August. Simon Pressley, founder and managing director of buyer agency Propertyology, said this would likely cause home prices in Sydney and Melbourne to fall by as much as 15 per cent by the middle of next year. ‘The days of high tide that lift all ships are sure to end,’ he said. ‘Weaker fundamentals in Sydney and Melbourne could potentially result in a 10 to 15 per cent drop in house prices from January 2022 to June 2023.’ Mr Pressley said the 2022 downturn in Australia’s two largest cities had echoes of 2017, when banking regulators tightened rules on interest-only and investor-only lending.
