It amazes me that people in these positions can make such stupid decisions. I'm sure everything she did was legal, but did she not stop to think what the optics were on the Homelessness Minister giving tenants notice on a property and then massively inflating the rent?

It was a simple misunderstanding where she misunderstood one key responsibility in her role.
