General Q&A: 11/02/2026

00:00:36 Robert: Question:I can’t get any Australia Post outlets’ employees to sign my Certificate of Mailing Documents and am thus sending my instruments and notices without them. Will an acting Notary (good householder) that witnesses the documents go into the Australia Post Registered Mail envelopes and then the envelopes into the Australia Post mailbox suffice?

00:01:39 Aaron: Q: What strategy would you use and what keys words to say when lawyers are trying to intervene between you and a credit provider for a personal loan. You have defaulted on repayments and the lawyers have sent a notice to pay the full amount within 7 days due to breach of agreement or they will commence legal proceedings? (In the meantime have just issued a Promissory Note to the credit provider for the personal loan).

00:02:03 Cynthia: Question: On page 306 of your Workshop Manual, under the heading ‘TAKE CONTROL’, could you explain the mechanics behind the final dot point: “ $20,000 perpetual credit card with monthly reconciliation against exemption. “ In addition – how is it ‘perpetual’ ? won’t the bank cancel the card ? and does this technique still work in today’s banking / financial climate?

Question: Again referencing Workshop Manual, (page 34) could you please expound on your statement: “Why need a passport? Passage in a war-zone in Admiralty” ? Therefore, is the Passport a contract in Admiralty? And why is it that a Driver License is a more incapacitating document to hold than a Passport? Does the DL contract one into Maritime? (Inland waterways known as ROADS perhaps?) Have you heard of anyone recently being able to get All Rights Reserved onto their Passport Signature – or is it no longer possible? Thank you.

What would you do to obtain a round table meeting?

00:03:27 Dennis: Q When doing an amendment to a personal tax return. And place a figure in D15 Other Expenses, and the ATO, after calling them, they said they cancelled the amendment as it was for personal expenses and not a business expense.

Thanks

00:05:31 Zoom user: The ATO has hit me with a Superannuation Guarantee charge because I did not see a letter they sent about inviting me to court and there was a ruling against me. Admittedly I did omit paying super for my 1 employee some time back, but I am up to date now.

I have been a paid up member and was working my way through the modules but could not really determine to concrete steps to take.
Thank you for the help you offer via this platform.

00:06:43 Daisy Doone: Question… What would you say to a council that says “All land is rateable”.
