Sorry, slight typing error. This line should say:
Police asked for ALL strata files and Mr. Robert Crosbie
provided alleged USB with files received from BCS Strata
Management. I have all those files and I could NOT find the
missing emails myself since June 2017.

Dear Mr. Karolewski,
I apologize for an unsolicited email. If you wish not to receive further notes, just let me know.
I am doing this for one simple reason: to verify that you are aware of correspondence to Waratah Strata Management.
I have a feeling that you have no idea what is going on, and that might put you in a very difficult situation as current Treasurer.
a) I kept quiet about the Police criminal investigations in regards to what I claim are fraudulent insurance claims and false statements in Statutory Declaration dated 13 April 2013.
Police asked for ALL strata files and Mr. Robert Crosbie
provided alleged USB with files received from BCS Strata
Management. I have all those files and I could find the missing
emails myself since June 2017.
And here is the current outcome:
1. Police could not find the files that Statutory Declaration claimed to be true. None of the eight emails exist on the USB.
2. Police contacted Solicitor Mr. Adrian Mueller who also "could not find" those files.
3. Police contacted Mr. Peter Bone (strata manager who signed CTTT Statutory Declaration) on 19 April 2013. He also did not have copies of those emails.
More investigations are underway by different parties.
b) Waratah Strata Management failed to provide access to those
files on 13 June 2017 and 11 February 2018, directly impacting
Police investigations.
c) My wife has been stalked by maintenance staff so much so that there are three Police events. In the first one, staff tried to frame me for alleged assault and intimidation for simply talking to his staff because they did nothing to prevent stalking.
That case was unsuccessful but they do not want to talk about it.
Latest event is from March 2018 and my wife had to be taken to hospital due to stress. Police even collected the witness statement but maintenance staff refused to provide access to two CCTV recordings.
My wife, worried about her safety, wrote an email to Waratah Strata Management on 18 February 2018. They had duty to respond and table it at the EC meeting. They failed to do so.
d) Number of other issues, some of them affecting your role were tabled (refer to the attachment dated 18 February 2018). For example:
Over $90,000.00 spent on painting on townhouses but there was nothing significant done on them to justify this high cost
Louvres are still rusting from inside the basement of the
complex. They were not treated properly - hence unfinished painting
project
$8,800.00 that we repaid to CHU Insurance for "CTTT Defence/Lot 3" was not listed in agenda for AGM 2017
Legal costs for alleged AGM Motions were clearly listed in the agenda for AGM 2017
Painting project cost blowout (see PDF attachment)
And so on.
e) On at least two occasions, maintenance employed services of unlicensed person to conduct duties of security in night shift. It seems nobody on the EC is aware of it.
At the present time, my web account is blocked at Waratah website. I cannot even download latest invoice for levies. The account worked well till March 2018 and then somebody disabled it.
In any case, I hope you are aware of all these issues as you are
member of the EC and hold responsibility for all actions on behalf
of SP52948.
Sincerely,
Subject: REQUEST: Re-enable web account before due date for levy payments for Lot 158 in SP52948

Hi,
No update of minutes of EC meetings contained replies to my wife's and my complaints and requests to provide access to strata files in emails dated:
8 February 2018
18 February 2018
3 March 2018
I note that SP52948 did not have office bearers for four months until EC meeting in February and still does not have an official Secretary.
In regards to the below inquiry, maintenance staff confirmed in his phone call to me that one of his staff worked at least twice (I have evidence of it) in night shift as security guard without license. It means we allow unlicensed staff to perform duties without owners corporation knowledge. Even worse, it can create serious legal problems.
On a separate note, I request immediate for my web account on waratahstrata,com.au web site. It is disabled without authority or legal rights. It worked well until last month but not now.
By not having access to account Waratah Strata directly:
a) Discriminates against my family and me,
b) Prevents us from accessing strata files that are published on website,
c) Prevents us from accessing invoices for levy payments,
d) Prevents us from reviewing current balance sheet of SP52948,
e) Prevents us from reviewing current payments for our levies.
Regards

Hi,
For the immediate attention of the Secretary of the SP52948.
a) Maintenance staff failed to sign the document that ensured his staff would not follow, stalk or bully my wife (or members of my family) in any form, as per her recent request.
b) Night shift is one of periods with heightened security-related risks.
I request immediate confirmation of which maintenance staff or subcontractors have license to work as security guards in the complex:
Names and license details
Regards,
Lot 158
