      No, polar ice caps are not melting in a uniform fashion, the Arctic and Antarctic caps are entirely different beasts.

      Further, the Earth’s temperature over many decades has risen far less than the modelling by “experts” predicted.

      To destroy the economy in a wealthy country like Australia chasing a mirage of net zero, where the major emitters continue to emit greater and greater greenhouse gases is akin to suicide.

      There is no intellectual discussion about nuclear energy in this country, despite numerous other countries embracing the technology.

      We are asked to swallow the nonsense peddled by the likes of the Minister of Environment, Chris Bowen, that renewables are the answer, conveniently omitting the fact that we import solar panels and wind turbines from China, the world’s greatest emitter…and that neither of the “hardware” is “renewable”

      Madness.

        I agree with Jimmy’s points regarding charging points for EV’s.

        However his analogy to owners subsidising pools/gyms when they don’t use it is IMHO invalid as those owners presumably bought into the complex when those facilities were already there, so they need to pay levies for the facilities as does everyone else.

          I disagree with both Jimmy and TruLI Concerned.

          The rectification to common property inconveniences everyone, owners and tenants.

          If the owner (landlord) also lives in the building he/she is similarly inconvenienced but the tenant is entitled to a rent reduction?

          I would add that the tenant ALSO benefits from repair of driveway, less wear on tyres, etc.

          If it went to mediation/NCAT etc, and they found in favour of the tenant, I would think it is a gross miscarriage of justice and proves the old adage – the law is a ass.

            I suppose if he continues to pay his strata fees he should be able to avail himself of the facilities ec=ven if he has vacated the building.

            However if there are by-laws to allow only certain people such as owner-occupiers and immediate relatives to utilise the facilities there may be a problem.

              In regards to responsibility for cost of repairs to bathroom ceiling in a previously renovated apartment the OC has accepted responsibility as there was no prior by law passed. They now want us to agree to a new by law being passed to cover any future events affecting our apartment. Should we agree?
