    I hope this send a message to the relevant government authorities. ABS now APUA and many other government entities I supposed. A lot of people are complaining about conditions in government buildings.

    Shame shame shame, hit me high, hit me low. Can’t get water, can’t get electricity and they can’t have workers. Is it just a thing of the government or a thing of this country to have people working in unsafe conditions?
