    You are lucky. I own a unit in in a block of 21 where one person owns 15 and has proxies for 3 more from “absentee” owners.

    If they are the original owner, then their holding is worth only five votes (because they own more than half the properties) and they can only carry one proxy.  Making six votes in total (and I’m not sure if they can even count the proxy).  Not a majority but a start.   If you can get the others to vote with you, you’d have a majority.

    First thing to do is to contact the proxy givers and tell them their vote is being wasted as, under NSW law, the person concerned can only carry one proxy.

    Time to put the cat among the pigeons, I think.
