Therese Rein's Invisage throws light on Lu Kewen , Rein, John Dawkins connection

From the Invisage website , now inoperative, but held in Web Archives:

Our History
In 1991, Invisage, known then as the Clements School of Management, was approached by the then Federal Minister for Education, Mr John Dawkins, to offer a unique, nationally accredited Associate Diploma in Business Studies.

Since then we have further developed our workplace training programs, which cover the areas of marketing, sales and management.

In January 1998, Invisage as Clements became a Registered Training Organisation under the Australian National Training Authority's Australian Recognition Framework initiative. The initiative guaranteed mutual recognition of qualifications awarded throughout Australia by other registered training organisations.

From the SMH, 1 March 2008:
THE wife of Kevin Rudd's chief of staff, David Epstein, has been appointed to run the Canberra office of major lobbying outfit Government Relations Australia, raising concerns of a potential conflict-of-interest....Ms Eccles is now the general manager for Government Relations Australia based in Canberra — and she is not the only lobbyist in the family.

Before his appointment as Mr Rudd's chief of staff last June, Mr Epstein was also a director at GRA.....Among GRA's current directors are former Keating government treasurer John Dawkins...

From The Australian , 11 April 2008
KEVIN Rudd has failed to declare a company owned by his wife, which has been granted $160,000 of government money in the past four years.

The continued ownership of the company by the Prime Minister's wife, Therese Rein, directly contradicts repeated claims by Mr Rudd and Ms Rein that they have divested themselves of all their Australian businesses.

Mr Rudd's office said yesterday that the company was not declared on the registry of interests to the House of Representatives because it was "inactive" at the time his interests were registered on March 11 this year.

The company - Invisage Australia - was built by Ms Rein to specialise in corporate training, coaching, mentoring and personal development.

If Damien Tudehope's COVID hotel quarantine fee statements are correct, SLHD revenue reported in financial statements signed by former CEO Teresa Anderson is overstated, and false

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan                     Tough talking Damien Tudehope may not have the power to impose th.  bulk of his quarantine fee, if any Readers will recall that former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller (now a PwC partner) said in his notice that Revenue NSW " will be charging a mandatory quarantine fee". Readers will also recall that the rormer NSW Minister For Financial Services, Damien Tudehope insisted that the quarantine fees charged by Sydney Local Health District, pursuant to the NSW Health Services Act include charges for police security. However, there is nothing  in the SLHD's financial statements for the relevant periods (see links below) to reflect any payment from the COVID quarantine fee revenue being made over to NSW Police. SLHD's revenue must then have been overstated, by the CEO concerned Teresa Anderson.  SLHD Financial Statements https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/annualreport/Publicat...

Strata managers' aversion to contact with tenants can leave strata managers exposed to personal liability

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Advice for living in, or buying into, a strata community Strata managers are employed to manage strata schemes which are often home to renters as well as owners. However, in evasion of that which they are paid to do there are instances where strata managers have attempted  to evade their duties by refusing to  deal with tenants.   Even this writer can recall an instance where the strata manager warned that it was against the law for tenants to contact him directly.  The instances where strata managers have refused to deal with tenants occur when the issues raised concern fairly pedestrian maintenance issues, for example blocked plumbing and the like. Having said that, tenants do actually have a legal right to a great many things, including being informed (and presumably make representations) when strata schemes consider re-development. Strata managers who seek to stand in place of strata committees  are even more e...
