Thanks JT. I don’t think tradies can automatically be included. They quote, get a work order, do the job, and get paid. They don’t get involved in the whole strata decision making process.
The point I was trying to make was that it isn’t just men and women in business suits that are involved. This is low-level corruption (allegedly) and calling it by another name seems like an exaggeration which doesn’t help your case.
A person just doesn’t walk into a police station and admit to a crime they just committed. They’re certainly not going to do so at a strata meeting.
That is a false analogy. Of course people don’t walk into police stations and admit to crimes – then they will be arrested charged.
But if you ask someone at a strata meeting if certain things happened on a nod and a wink, and if so, why, they might say: “Look, we’re all doing it so it evens out in the end.” And they might have a point.
I suggested you raise the issue by asking a question. I didn’t expect you to get written confessions but you’d have started a process that might have consequences for any miscreants.
There are no stratakops and the Fraud Squad would not be interested. You have to do the heavy lifting yourself, and that begins with asking pertinent questions in a reasonable tone, which you are perfectly entitled to do.
