Support Short-Term Rentals

21/09/2025

We always love a good laugh.

Here's extremist Trish Burt promoting a video spruiking about boycotting Airbnb and Bookingcom and promoting booking directly 😜

The woman says you can sleep at night knowing that platforms will not be profiting from illegal land theft and ethnic cleansing (In Israel). But if you book directly, you can save money and still stay in the same property.

She has a strategy 😜

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

WOW !! The Extremist anti-Airbnb mob are out of control.
"HOUSING ETHNIC CLEANSING"

These people are deranged

Lie's ??? Mmmm, well, the truth is Airbnb supported 107,000 jobs and contributed $20B to the Australian economy. All this while only using between 1-2% of the total housing stock in Australia.

Now that's the truth ....

Extremist anti-tourist groups say "Tourists Go Home" but...

"Tourism is a big economic driver for Spain. It's the country's main source of income and employs 3 million people".

But hey, let's all grab water pistols and protest against our main source of income.

Spain could soon overtake France as the most visited country in the world and locals have had enough.

The very fools and Anti-Airbnb extremists who claimed caps were the golden answer to STR reform and regulations are now crying, 'caps don't work'

Really? Ring a bell Byron Bay ? Once again, nobody is going to put a property purchased for the intended use as a holiday home up for long-term rental. CAPS WONT WORK - FACT.

Stop listening to hate groups that have no idea, and work productively with the STR industry to produce a regulatory framework that's sustainable and has an economic benefit to the whole community.

Capping the maximum amount of days properties can be available for short-term stays is unlikely to fix the rental crisis.

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
