Support Short-Term Rentals

05/06/2025

Trish ScamBurt's two pet hates come together: Airbnb & Israel. But her hypocrisy and extremism have no bounds.

Trish supports Hamas (Yes, they are her words, not ours) and supports people boycotting Israeli companies.

That's unless you are Trish Burt, who continues to financially support an Israeli business known for requesting that their staff distribute Israeli propaganda videos. What's that company, you ask? WIX her website host.

The Irish Times reported that Wix has created an employee group chat on its internal messaging app, to "support Israel's narrative."

It said employees had been encouraged to “join a company initiative to create videos and creative campaigns” to “make an impact on global perception" of the Israel-Gaza war.

Don't worry about Airbnb, Trish. Look in the mirror for aiding and abetting Israeli businesses. Or don't you count?

and as always, if our info is incorrect? Happy to apologise and remove this post, Trish?

Our thoughts are with residents in the Hunter and North Coast who are affected by flooding. We hope everyone stays safe.

NSW Premier Chris Minns and emergency services have laid bare the “grim reality” of the Mid North Coast floods and urged residents to act immediately to avoid being caught up in the deadly natural disaster.

Trish ScamBurt likes to share crime cases within an Airbnb on her extremist page.

Yet, a study by the University of Sydney says this is not a short-term rental problem. The study titled 'Crime Scene Motel Project' says.

"The research revealed motels as scenes for murder, assault, s*xual violence, child abuse, clandestine drug labs, robbery and as hideouts for fugitives from the law – knowledge suppressed by motel operators".

Ordinary suburban motels, utterly banal and unremarkable to most. However, what goes on behind their closed doors intrigued Sydney Law School criminologist and artist, Carolyn McKay. Presenting a new art installation of neon signs based on her research into crimes in motel rooms.

Oh yes, we remember this misleading propaganda.

We remember well that many of these businesses do not operate in the long-term rental market, kind of like saying McDonald's Restaurants, NO Pizza's Available and;

One of the biggest contributors to this list (Holidu) at the time listed hotels, motels, campsites, and other accommodations on its site, artificially increasing these numbers.

Shame !

It's always interesting to listen to the arguments from the anti-airbnb extremists on why Airbnb is soooo bad. In this case it's a "karens' moment.

I mean, most Hotels would do a police check and check the s*x offenders register, before taking a booking, right?

Trish the Troll is again fear-mongering to maintain the rage by lurking in Airbnb Host Facebook groups against the community rules. But she always wants everyone to obey the rules? The hypocrisy

STRs facilitate accommodation for many different needs and occasions, not just holidays. STRA assists with emergency accommodation, travelling trades, hospital staff on rotation, and so much more. STRs are not merely for holidays.

It's probably just a slow news day for Trish and she needs to maintain the rage with something she has no knowledge of, typical and why she's becoming more and more irrelevant to our policy makers.

BYRON Bay's controversial annual 60-day limit on short-term accommodation is damaging the visitor economy, reducing jobs, and failing to increase long-term housing supply, according to the findings of a new independant report.



Michael Lyon - Byron Shire Councillor, you were warned !!!
I know 5 owners in Byron Shire who have increased summer STR rents and will now (after Easter) leave their property empty or for personal use the remainder of the year. No return to long-term rentals and no economic benefit to the community. SHAME ON YOU

Time to resign Michael

Byron Shire's 60-day stay cap on short-term rentals is damaging the region’s visitor economy, ANZ Short Term Rental Association study finds.

As we forecast, Byron's visitor economy is in real danger. Of course, the upcoming summer holidays will generate badly needed revenue for local businesses. However, the visitor economy is stagnating or declining during the shoulder and winter periods.

Hang your head in shame Michael Lyon - Byron Shire Councillor

And, of course, the so-called 'independent' Echo Publications won't report the truth on this matter.

You were warned Caps won't work. The vast majority of owners we know now choose to leave their property empty and use it as a holiday home. This was NEVER going to fix the affordable housing crisis.

Byron Bay has some of the strictest short-stay rules in the country, but that has done little to help renters secure long-term accommodation, with vacancy rates shrinking to their lowest levels in nearly three years.

THIS IS A DISGRACE

This is what Neighbours Not Strangers have become. A page to promote violence and intimation against women, physical threats, trespass and vandalism.

Trish Burt could delete these disgraceful comments promoting illegal activity. Instead, she encourages it.

Trish Burt
AGAIN, deliberately spreading misleading propaganda because she is unable to engage in rational debate on STRA.

This is an actor who appears in multiple skits. It is a fabricated story that some people want you to believe is true.

This is why you can NEVER trust Trish Burt .

This is pure propaganda. It is a story about a hidden room within an Airbnb where the owner supposedly retreats while the property is being rented out. It's made to look like the guests uncover the owner hidden behind the bookcase.

FACT: This is an actor who's appeared in several skits of this nature, some on Airbnb's and others on neighbour disputes. He portrayed an owner and an Airbnb guest. Either way, the facts remain that this is NOT true, even though others would like you to believe it.
