Show Notes

Jordie van den Berg (known by his influential social media alias PurplePingers) and Lauren Michaelides (known as Toilet Paper Australia on X) have launched a free database to call out “shit rentals” across the country.

With the aim to better empower renters facing sometimes shocking rental conditions, Shitrentals.org has already received over a thousand reviews from tenants since it’s launch last week. Website co-creator PurplePingers joined Tom Tilley to explain why he’s taken his online activism to a new level, how the website works and what he hopes the website will achieve.
