so the crown just backs off when it suits them, but when it's a normal person they'll chase you for years over a few hundred bucks? classic

Casey Adams2026-07-01T07:28:33.000Z

exactly, they'll chase a pensioner over $200 but let big corporates off the hook

I'm with the Pascoes on this one. Government needs to pick its battles properly instead of wasting taxpayer money on this nonsense

Ruby Fraser2026-07-01T07:45:33.000Z

they withdrew it mate, means they already backed off - now they want money for what exactly?

Ruby Fraser2026-07-01T07:20:33.000Z

ffs they withdrew the acquisition and still want money? what a joke

Good on them for standing their ground. Must be stressful living under that kind of pressure from the Crown

Mia Carter2026-07-01T08:11:33.000Z

lol right, cos the govt is known for being fair

Sophie Ngata2026-07-01T08:16:33.000Z

yeah but you gotta hear them out too, they've been through enough

Morgan Lee2026-07-01T08:05:33.000Z

Crown's got too much power anyway. About time someone pushed back properly
