Hi

a) Official agenda for AGM 2017, 2018, and 2019 shows discrepancies in alleged revenue collected for second gas levies:

b) Agenda for AGM 2017 and 2018 do not contain copies of the auditor's reports:

Lot 158 could not locate auditor's report for FY 2017 in two document searches on 31 May 2019 and 20 September 2019. Requests to provide it as per PAID document search were ignored by Waratah Strata Management.

Auditor's report for FY 2018 was allegedly signed on the day of AGM 2018.

c) Agenda for AGM 2017 contained misleading reasons for excluding Lot 158 Motions:

d) Two document searches on 31 May 2019 and 20 October 2019 did not locate Cash Receipts reports for last seven years, with special emphasis on FY 2017, 2018, and 2019 and they were also not included in the agenda for relevant general meetings.
