Not really, they just know when to buy, and they have enough money to do it.

Potential first homeowners don’t get a look in.

Isn’t there some ‘competition watchdog’ that might take a dim view of buyers being denied a choice of builder?

What, in the building industry? lol.

Some years ago, there was a royal commission into the building industry in Australia.

It took many years for the final result to be “released”.

And when it was supposed be released, the comment from the investigator posted on page 17? in small print was “We can’t release the results of the royal commission into corruption in the building industry because of the the potential media firestorm that it would create”.

Hmmm, well I didn’t get any corrupt payments, where did they all go?
