Wow, what a lot of hyperbole. Could you please show us some sources for the “openly corrupt” government?
I’d also like some more information about the shoddily built houses. If we’re talking insulation then yes they’re not particularly well insulated compared to a Nordic country. But we also have a very mild climate compared to Nordic countries.
New McMansions aren’t particularly well built but that’s the consumer driving the massive floor plan/minimum cost.
Building, like any other product is very much up to the consumer in terms of what they want to prioritise.
Specifically on mould, if the ambient humidity is, on average very high, no matter how well built your home is things will go mouldy. The solution is mechanical dehumidification/cooling but that comes with other penalties.
The previous Premier of the state (Gladys) resigned due to corruption. The new premier is involved in a plot to give sweet fake jobs to his political buddies, as well as various other schemes. The previous Labour government got swept out because of massive corruption. At a federal level, NSW politicians are involved in water grafts (Angus Taylor and barnaby Joyce) as well as huge handouts to nonexistent companies (great barrier reef foundation got 700 million dollars with no office and 5 listed employees and have done nothing visible with the money - except to say that it's been spent). NSW is very openly corrupt at all levels of government.
First page on “NSW building defects” - 1/4 of all new apartments have defects. That’s just apartments and excludes houses being built on flood plains and heat islands in Western Sydney
