I had to talk myself out of paying ASIC for the records on the company that managed property maintenance in out of home care. They’ve been doing a shitty job for the better part of a decade, seem to maintain all publicly owned properties, and organisation management always gives a “don’t even go there” response when we’ve complained about them doing shit work.

In reality, it’s probably just cause they’re the cheapest, but I went through a phase for a few months where I was CONVINCED there had to be kickbacks or some sort of relationship between the owners of this company and people working in child protection and the housing commission. Luckily I didn’t have enough spending money to buy the report at the time, and by the time I did, I’d talked myself out of it
