Elwyn Denman has a lot to answer for and owes a big apology to his Ipswich tenants

Elwyn Denman tries to defend the indefensible

on Channel 10.

Elwyn Denman is a former real estate agent and Ipswich City Council alderman.

He was well-versed in property and town planning law from both professions, or he should have been.

He recently set up a series of homes around Ipswich for the poor and needy.

Unfortunately, Elwyn made one little mistake - he couldn't be bothered getting State Government or Council approval for his grand plan.

Now, he has been caught with his pants down and he is crying poor on television that he has been badly done by.

Well Elwyn, if you hadn't thumbed your nose at the law, you wouldn't be in this dilemma.

You are personally responsible for the effects of your recalcitrance on your tenants.

Elwyn, you owe them all one big apology.

Clearly, your abilities as a landlord are equally matched by your competence as a council alderman.
