Australia has another business model that is predatory on the poor: home appliance renting. The dole payment isn't large enough to afford the price of a washing machine - but it is enough to afford the rent for one. Of course in the end you'll wind up paying much more than the outright buy price, but you can't help it, you can't afford to buy the machine. (Of course these places rent out much more than the "needed" appliances, you can also get fitness equipment, Playstations etc.) |
