We never read about the truth about what is going on in Queensland Shopping Centres.

The Queensland market is an uninformed market.

People are expected to make informed judgements with all their personal capital using osmosis for the basis of these decisions.

Unlike WA, where their market has poorer legislation in place, and where their valuers have fewer technical skills, we have some great advantages, but we seem to thrive on keeping our market uninformed (like mushrooms, keep em in dark places and feed em rubbish).

When are we going to start opening up, when are we going to stop being so secretive, when is the press going to start reporting the truth in this state? It is in the Public Interest.

I am prepared to be interviewed anytime about issues in Queensland Shopping Centres, to make their operation open honest transparent.

Sincerely
