Just so you know ... Margo left us for Yahoo or something. The DP column is being written by Emily Yofee now (or one of her interns).

Even in Australia there is a disclosure rule.

About 5 years ago a teen killed his entire family in their home (yes he is still in prison). Their house was sold a little over a year ago and the real estate agent failed to disclose this. The buyers sued the agent and the seller for enough to pay off the mortgage and had the building torn down. All because they had failed to disclose the violent history of the house.
