It’s just happened to us. Symbiotic relationship between Caretaker/Chairman/Strata Manager and they’ve all profitted enormously for 15 years. They’ve been under close scrutiny from a group of EC Members (one rectification bill presented to us for immediate payment – $440,000+ – we smelt a rat…action required = $Nil.

In fact it’s close to impossible. But what they’re doing is right. The fight goes on.
