The ABC have this story on the ACT evicting Revolve from the Hume Resource Recovery Centre, the site they moved to after losing the resource recovery contract with the ACT govt, and now it appears a site they haven’t been paying rent on for the last 2 years.

Canberra’s junk business just keeps on going as last seen in this RiotACT story showing the long line of stories gone wrong. Hopefully Tiny with his E-bay policy and his charity days will do better, now he just needs to work on the website.

If you don’t pay the rent you get evicted, again, simple.

The snippet of interview I saw on the telly indicated that they haven’t been paying rent as they are in dispute with the ACT guvmnt about being kicked out of Mugga Lane after the so-called tender process.

I happen to find the whole sordid affair a sad commentary on the way locla guvmnt has treated those who had the nouse to establish Revolve in the first place. I didn’t see any of the fat cats down there at the tip face helping sort the garbage in the early days.

Can you imagine if they were kicked out after two months, the outcry would have been they were not given a go.

Government landlord is different to a private landlord – not many private landlords make the front page of the papers or carry community service obligations.

I wonder how a landlord lets a tenant go 2 years before evicting them. If they get behind a month or two, and can’t resolve it quickly, they aren’t going to. Anything beyond a few months is sheer incompetence.
