How much do you trust your committee members? Would you give them or even just your office-bearers each a $5k debit card so they could pay bills as and when they arose, without having to inform the rest of the strata committee in advance?
Does this sound as dodgy as hell and might be a roundabout way of slipping a few strata committee members payments to which they are not entitled?
Or maybe they are entitled to be paid for their efforts but the system for remuneration is so archaic and clumsy that this may be a way around it.
Have your say: The $5K card question is HERE.
