Today Tonight exclusive on Channel 7:
Raine & Horne Mt Gravatt - which is independently owned - didn't paint the real estate industry in a particularly positive light in tonight's story, in which the company refused to hand back a vendor's keys after the vendor took his home off the market.
On national television, the principal first denied he was the principal, then - lo and behold - suddenly remembered he was in fact the principal, then walked up to the television camera and jammed his nose and teeth almost right into the lens, claiming he would like to see the images of his rather large proboscis on national television.
In an Australian technical television first, viewers were treated to three simultaneous images of a real estate agent, a clown and a goose.
It was almost as good as 3D television!
Surely Raine & Horne's Head Office must take some responsibility for their independent franchisees.
Merely doing a "Pontius Pilate" and washing their hands of whatever their independent operators do, instils no confidence in the Australian public.
Raine & Horne's silence on this issue is deafening.
