This week, a blast from the past. Way back in September 2016 I spoke to Cathy Sherry about the surprisingly unfettered power strata owners have to regulate the private lives of their neighbours. At a time when this power has been tested and found to be stronger than ever (our NSW “pet” cases), I thought it opportune to revisit this popular episode.

Thanks Amanda, great podcast!!
I believe that instead of going to the NCAT or other government agency people sell because they know that it will be a waste of time, so that is one reason people do not hear from them or because some Lot owners English is their second language Who benefits from it?
The State Government because they will collect more stamp duties, the more unhappy people the more revenue for the State Government.
Thanks again!!
