Surprised nobody did anything with Pete Lomax

Surprised nobody did anything with Pete Lomax

He appeared in Detective Comics #549
(April, 1985) and Detective Comics #550
(May, 1985), written by Alan Moore, and was just an ordinary guy who wanted to defeat a superhero and actually managed to ambush Green Arrow and Black Canary.

Intriguing character and, considering how DC has strip-mined Alan Moore’s work over the years, I’m surprised other writers never fleshed Pete out.

Property agents on Lower North Shore?

I’m looking to sell an apartment in Chatswood.

Anyone have any idea which property agents I should be looking at, preferably ones that charge less than 2% commission?

What is it like working at Comcare?

I’ve noticed that Comcare is seeking S26 and employment register applications in a city I would like to move to.

What is the agency like to work for? How is the WFH? I’m currently APS4 in a service delivery role (not Service Australia).

Selling apartment to buy house in another city. Steps?

I want to sell my apartment in order to buy a house in another city (so I can move to that city). I would prefer not to move to that city - a two hour drive from my current city - without owning a house.

Can someone outline - as if I were a particularly slow child - the steps I would need to take (beginning from visiting a bank to see how much I can borrow)?

I know this is a strange question to ask, but it’s a big move and overwhelming to think about.

Edit: my current role requires 1-day in the office per week.

Question about testamentary trust

My 82 year old father is setting up a testamentary trust. He owns three houses - a PPOR, two that are rentals - as well as a commercial property.

Today, he told me hasn’t been declaring the gross rental income (between $20k-$30k per year) he received for ONE of the houses since 2010 (his parents were living there rent free, then he started renting it out after their passing). His yearly net income is something like $170k.

He is in the process of sending through his financial information to the law firm to set up the testamentary trust - will his omission regarding the rental property prevent the firm from setting up the trust? Is it likely the firm will flag it during the process of setting up the trust? Should he ask the firm to exclude the house from the testamentary trust until the issue is resolved with the ATO? Alternately, if the house is included with testamentary trust, what happens after he passes away?

Lots of questions, because this came totally out of the blue.

Elderly parent hasn’t been paying tax on investment property

My 82 year old mother owns three houses - one she is living in, two others that are rentals. - and a commercial property.

Today, she told me hasn’t been paying taxes on the rental income for *one* of the houses since 2010.

How do I calculate how much money she owes the government and how can I fix this? Also, what kind of legal repercussions should I expect?

Still flabbergasted by this revelation.

I’m on the body corporate of a building where one of the owners (a notorious nuisance who is not on the body corporate) has requested the strata roll from the strata manager - he has been told that he can have names but not people’s emails. Nobody on the body corporate wants him to have everyone’s contact info. However, he insists that this is covered under the Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Act 2025 No14.

Firstly, is it legal for the strata manager to deny him the email addresses of all the owners?

Secondly, is there a worst case scenario if he pursues the strata roll with everyone’s emails? Can he take his demands to NCAT, etc? Are there legal repercussions if the strata management (and body corporate secretary, from what I understand) prevent him from obtaining access of the strata toll emails?

The guy is highly annoying and this is just a power trip for him, however I don’t want this to cause issues for the secretary of the body corporate.
