This investigation reveals systemic issues in Australia's strata industry: hidden fees, massive conflicts of interest with insurance brokers, corporate consolidation killing competition, and even regulators with undisclosed ties to the industry. They were charging owners $100+ to chase petty debts and steering insurance to sister companies at double the price.
