22.01.2022 After a long, very intense, period of 7 day weeks/15 hour days, preparing for a 5 day defamation case in the Supreme Court, heard in late 2019, we finally got judgement today. An excellent result achieved! https://www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/dec/1775c2937aab04c32596bd4a

21.01.2022 We recently made a submission to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality & Safety, on behalf of a number of aged care provider clients. It is a very sensitive area, with a lot of very vulnerable people, exposed to many dangers.

A lovely lady at the ATO confirmed today that the GST ruling is wrong and no GST is payable. A new GST ruling will be issued (in due course).

12.01.2022 Update on the horizon (pardon pun) - the NSW Court of Appeal has unanimously found that a by-law prohibiting the keeping of pets is harsh, unconscionable and oppressive. The Court declared the by-law invalid. Pets on the horizon. Bonza is totally horizontal (ie her usual pose).

06.01.2022 In a massive blow to our 4 legged friends (including our faithful office dog, Bonza), the Horizon Apartments in Darlinghurst successfully appealed against a decision forcing it to change its by-laws to permit pets. The Appeals Panel of NCAT found that a by-law prohibiting pets was not 'harsh, unconscionable or oppressive'. Bonza is not amused....
