Premier, this is how to fix rent scams

Just more than a week ago, 7.30 on the ABC reported on the ''secret'' rent scam of high-rise buildings being infested with overcrowded apartments and the scandalous gaps in the law that protect the guilty.

Premier Barry O'Farrell was well and truly ambushed by the report - he was in the studio to talk about his first 100 days in office - while the people who should have had some answers were missing in action.
