Nothing much is currently happening on this issue.

Some time ago, I contacted both my Federal MP and my State MP, who passed on my concerns to the relevant Ministers. Today I had a phone conversation with a staffer from the NSW State Fair Trading Minister who was following up the situation. The main information he gave me was that if I wanted further advice, to contact the ACMA – Australian Communications and Media Authority.

The website is https://www.acma.gov.au

Something to consider: If your Strata Plan  receives notification of a registered letter which is held at the Post Office, enquire at the Post Office who is the sender. Then consider whether whether you want to collect it, or allow it to be returned to the sender.

Thank you for your response Jimmy

I apologise for attempting to post the entire article, I was only thinking that sometimes URLs become “dead” and cannot be accessed.

I had previously attempted to search the website. However, my computer appears to have been having problems at the time, as for a couple of days prior I could not get access to the website at all, so my searching may have been impaired – or perhaps it was my searching skills!

I read with interest the links you gave in post 3. You say “And to answer the basic question, the advice given is that while the law doesn’t allow you to stop internet providers from checking your common property areas, you do not have to allow them to install their equipment on their terms”

I must say I did not quite take that implication from the two links you provided. The way I read it you could do things to slow down the process such as refusing access to electricity, but it was only a slow down of the process. Or perhaps you have further information?

Refusing electricity certainly sounds a good strategy, so that you.
