NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey wants AUD 105 Million in COVID quarantine fees from Queensland for health services requested by former NSW Police Chief Mick Fuller, but never requested by anyone held in quarantine - Queensland can redirect Mookhey's invoice to NSW Police

    Mick Fuller ordered travellers into quarantine,and then had SLHD charge them for services he                 ordered


The Daily Telegraph reported on 11 February 2024: 

Treasurer Cameron Dick has rejected the latest claim from NSW for more than $100m in allegedly unpaid Covid-19 quarantine expenses.

NSW claims the Sunshine State still owes $105m to cover the costs of its residents undertaking hotel quarantine in Sydney at the start of the pandemic.

However Steven Miles, now Queensland premier, sensationally ripped up the bill in a 2021 social media stunt attacking then prime minister Scott Morrison.

Now, in a letter to Mr Dick, his NSW counterpart Daniel Mookhey has written: “I refer you to previous correspondence from NSW Treasury to Queensland Treasury regarding hotel quarantine fees for Queensland residents during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The people of NSW are owed $105 million by the Queensland government to cover services provided to more than 18,000 residents of Queensland who stayed in NSW hotels.”



However, as previously reported here, the services were never requesed by those held in quarantine but rather by the then Chief Of Police NSW, Mick Fuller. Queensland can direct that invoice to NSW Police.

SLHD CEO Teresa Anderson AM has ultimate responsibility for signing
off SLHD's financial statements


Sydney Local Health District CEO Teresa Anderson charged COVID quarantine detainees for services ordered by then NSW Commissioner Mick Fuller . While her conduct may seem to be a mere extension on Fuller's COVID quarantine gymnastics, Andersen is the person in whose name quarantine fee notices are issued. Andersen seems like the logical person with whom to commence a COVID quarantine fee recovery class action.

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...
