Title Deeds is a terribly sad case of RealEstatePorn and writing for the 1%. So typically old-school Fairfax when that is precisely the direction they need to be moving away from.

Sad to see Margie Blok go – I liked her spin on the 1%! … let’s hope Ms Macken carefully checks all details she writes before she commits them to print!
