Hi Jimmy,

I am actually very surprised by your advice because somebody on the flat-chat forum has ‘alleged’ a resident as ‘vexacious’. After everything the Hon Mr. Anthony Roberts discussed regarding proxy votes etc. I cannot applaud the inference that 1 person can “decide the number of people you want on your executive committee” by issuing a “ticket”!

This is a democratic system you are detailing but correct me if I am wrong, have you just outlined a way for somebody to control a strata scheme using a pre-meditated solution? If the vexatious resident is part of the committee, the decisions should be based on all votes, not just one person. Surely this is the fairest way to run a Strata Scheme?

I can’t help but think this method could constitute ‘fraud on the minority’ and removing an owner’s democratic rights is a serious offence well documented in the act. “Dysfunctional” and “blindsided” are words that come to mind when plotting to target one person. The Owners Corporation are in place for the good of ‘all owners’ and members should not be plotting against any minority’s!

Don’t take this as a rant, it’s far from it, but someone should stick up for the rights of Australian Citizens under common law. It is only fair is it not?

‘nugalbags’, if this resident has done anything illegal, you can apply to CTTT to have them removed as an executive committee member. I advise against plotting to remove them. It can only end up costing the Owners Corporation if you get found out… especially if a Compulsory Strata Manager is installed.
