Man, that has to be prime real estate. I am surprised that it hasn't been turned into a few thousand units for innercity living. If they can do it to the ETSA building, why not.

I can see a bit of animal farm here - all residents are equal, but the Nth Adelaide residents are more equal than others.

I also understand his bloody wife is hbuttling the residents of the new suburb they live in - something to do with preservation of a old house on the heritage list.
Some women just have nothing better to do.
New Years resolution - clean up the potty mouth.
