Dear Sharyn Machin,

Thank you so much for articulating the sentiment about non-owners being on ECs and I would love it if you could elaborate even more.

We have a similar problem. With our laissez-fare, apathetic and self-interested EC, an elderly, grudge-holding tenant with several axes to grind is probably the most powerful figure in our block of 36. He is empowered by EC office bearers, their proxies and a lazy strata manager and doesn't always do the wise, prudent or right thing.

I'm satisfied nobody is watching the pennies; day-to-day cleaning and gardening is not being properly overseen, nor is any emergency work.

Neil
