SYDNEY, Australia — Authorities have promised compensation to Sydney journalist David Osborne, whose house was wrecked by a demolition team that went to the wrong address.
“The contractor was told to go to 58 Glebe Point Rd. but instead went to Glebe Street,” New South Wales Housing Minister Frank Walker told Osborne amid the rubble of his newly purchased home Monday.
Osborne found every floor in the house removed, along with an antique fireplace and material he was using to renovate the house. He was due to move in this week.
