COVID quarantine fees- Failure to provide itemised invoices enabled then Commissioner Of Police Mick Fuller to conceal payments to Healthcare Australia

 by Ganesh Sahathevan 


Anyone who was subjected to the Berejiklian- Hazzard 14 day COVID hotel quarantine would recall receiving so-called health checks. Many if not all would have assumed that these were calls from doctors and nurses of the Sydney Local Health District (SLHD), in whose name invoices were issued. 

Despite numerous requests from this writer, SLHD refused to provide an itemised invoice, referring all queries to Revenue NSW. As it turns out, the phone calls were from employees of  Healthcare Australia who say they "partnered with NSW Health in providing health and wellness consultations to "guest" during their quarantine". 

Healthcare Australia's "partnering" has never been made public and adds to the problems reported below, which go to the nature and quantum of Berejiklian's so-called  quarantine fee, enforced by Mike Fuller who is now a partner at PwC. It is unclear how much "guests" paid for Healthcare Australia's services which were forced onto them. It is also unclear how much less the "fee" might have been if the so-called services were provided by SLHD as "guests" were led to believe. 

Why the "fee" for services, as Tudehope put it, had to be paid to SLHD via Revenue NSW , for services provided by Healthcare Australia has been concealed by Berejiklian, Hazzard, Dominello and Fuller.

Reported by the SMH in October 2023:

A 2021 investigation by the Ombudsman found Revenue NSW had unlawfully used an automated system to issue garnishee orders between 2016 and 2019, leaving financially vulnerable people unable to pay rent.

The agency’s spokesperson said all recent decisions to issue garnishee orders for outstanding quarantine fees had been made by an officer delegated by the Commissioner of Fines Administration.

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

 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...
