More on the Sustainability Declaration
A friend of this program has just spent 6 hours as part of a team of 15 lawyers reviewing the Sustainability Declaration.
Their findings are frightening.
This Sustainability Declaration doesn’t just apply to your house. It covers the shed, garages, carports, fences, masts, antennas, retaining walls, Bali huts, pergolas, and gazebos – any structure on your land.
The legislation specifically sets out this “Where the buyer incurs a loss or expense as a result of a false or misleading declaration, the seller of the building is liable to compensate the buyer for any loss or expense. A compensation claim may be made through a court.” A lawyer’s picnic. Open ended compensation claims through the courts.
Here are a few of your responsibilities under this act.
Not preparing a declaration - $2,000 fine.
Not displaying a declaration at inspection - $2,000 fine. So if your agent has arranged an open house and you don’t display the declaration - $2,000 fine.
Not providing a declaration on request - $2,000 fine – if someone asks you for the declaration and you don’t provide it - $2,000 fine.
These offences are offences of strict liability – like a traffic offence – there are no mitigating circumstances. Get detected – and you get done. There is no need for the prosecution to prove that you had a guilty mind – just that you didn’t have the declaration.
If you advertise a property for sale and forget to include information about where a person can get a copy of your completed declaration – that’s yet another offence.
And you have to “conspicuously display” the sustainability declaration at any open for inspection in such a way that it can be easily read by potential buyers at any time the building is open to the public for inspection – forget to do that and you can get done.
And it’s not just you. Your agent is up for a $10,000 fine for not providing a sustainability document at an open house – in addition to your $2,000 fine.
And the agent can be done with a $10,000 fine for not providing the document when asked for a copy.
And all of this comes into law in 6 weeks from now.
For any building on your property. Including, by definition, your shed.
I don’t recall any of this being mentioned prior to the election just a few months ago.
The Paper
Have a read of this and let your friends know.

Subject: ANOTHER CORRUPT UN ORGANIZATION INVOLVED IN THE GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD............
Gillard is not on her own in imposing climate change fraud on Australia. Here is a UN group that collects money from your local council and imposes Agenda 21 on your area without your vote or permission.
They are called â??International Council for Environmental Initiativesâ??. They are unelected and not voted on but they take over all development in councils that agree.
They represent the UN and their mission is to impose Sustainability on all regions of the world.
That is what they think is sustainable, not what locals know is sustainable.
Wonder how the Victorian bushfires were so bad?
I bet these clowns were running the local council agendas.
So Gillard thinks she is safe in imposing a destructive tax based on a scam on Australia because these socialists have been imposing the conditions since 1998.
Here is the link to the contact page for this UN anti Australian treasonous group:-

All the people who are going on about how this is good and we need you guys should dream on!!!! have you seen the paperwork involved just for one house!!! its stupid!!! So much for helping the environment! also most people who dnt know anything about there house(or say they dont) leave it blank so they wont get a fine if its not right. All that people are doing is signing the bottom and thats okay. Its the stupidest thing i know!

And which idiot thinks someone is going to look at a sustainability when buying a house and not buy the house if they like it?
It isn't worth the paper it's written on and I would like to see someone prove that what you have declared is not right - duh you may have left your lights on more than you should have or kept the windows open when running the aircon so the extra cost you are going to be sued for by the new owner - yeah right...
