We have to thank our alert Flatchatters for keeping us up to speed with what’s been happening in strata while we’ve been distracted this week.
My excuse? I’ve been finishing my new crime novel – writing, not reading – and Sue has launched her latest historical fiction, The Governor, His Wife and his Mistress.
So thanks to Flatchatter Tina for pointing out that there are new regulations about strata managers’ conflicts of interest and transparency coming into force next week. That’s HERE.
And, on a closely related topic, another eagle-eyed Flatchatter, wondering whatever happened to the government inquiry into Netstrata’s alleged misdeeds, as many concerned clients are, spotted an update on the ABC News website. That’s HERE.
Both of these alerts have led to coverage on the main section of the website, but credit where it’s due, so thanks for that. And, of course, there are all the major and minor irritations that make our strata lives… um… interesting.
