I experienced the same thing SecretaryStar. Bullies of the highest order who provided special attention to those who voted for them or gave them their proxy vote. There was no justice to be had though we tried hard through Dept Fair Trading and NCAT. After 4 years, I moved out and rented the apartment and moved back to my home. In the last 18 months, 1 EC has passed away and 3 have been voted out. Only 2 remain of the initial EC Committee, one is the treasurer who has been ok and 1 other. I dont intend moving back for another few years yet, by which time the SEPP5 strata will have been transferred to normal strata (once the current owners realise their money will double by changing the DA with council and they want to sell), or there will be a more fair EC in place – which seems to be the case now. I feel sorry for all those who do not have a choice or a voice. It is very frustrating and demanding but it appears the bullies do get their just desserts in the end…it just takes time. Good luck with trying to change them. They need to be voted out but difficult if no one a) cares or b) doesnt want to put their hand up to go on the EC leaving it to those who do and want to control.
