Ah here it is
In May 1994 Mr. Rudd and Ms. Rein purchased a property at 41 Dilkera Street, Hawthorne from a Mr. Tom Allen for $240,000. The solicitors were Goss Downy & Carne and the stamp duty of $2,400 returned on a solicitor's return stamping (as confirmed by a copy of the stamped transfer document from DNR).
. In November 1994 the Rudds entered into a contract with a Ms. Nicole Noble and the property was settled at the end of January 1995 for $280,000.
. A check with the neighbors confirmed that the Rudds had never occupied the premises. The neighbors were reportedly not impressed by the Rudds.
. The house had a room air-conditioner, which was left running 24 hours per day, even though the house was unoccupied.
. Neighbors complained about the noise from the air conditioning unit running 24 hours per day.
. Mr. Rudd approached the original owner Mr. Tom Allen regarding instructions on how to operate the air-conditioning time clock.
Armed with this information Mr. Rudd was then queried by The Courier Mail, regarding the stamp duty claim:-
. At first Mr. Rudd claimed that he lived in the house and met the PPR qualifications.
. On further contact by The Courier Mail, Mr. Rudd claimed he had contact with an officer of the OSR regarding the non-supply of a signed form "Q" (stamp duty PPR exemption form) and quoted dates, telephone conversations and correspondence with an officer named Noel ***** of the OSR.
. When pursed further regarding the matter Mr. Rudd finally admitted that he did not qualify for the PPR claim and paid the additional stamp duty (about $4500) on 4/11/94 and quoted a receipt number.
This was about two weeks after I reported the matter to the OSR and under the Office guidelines a penalty should have been imposed. In fact the facts are not dissimilar to cases prosecuted through the magistrates courts. (REFER to ATTACHMENT J). Mr. Rudd should have reported his changed circumstances (from the date of the leaseback of his original house) within 28 days of those changed circumstances.
. During further conversations Mr. Rudd finally stated or words to the effect that "Goss had told him that this disgruntled merkin from the Revenue Office had dobbed him in".
These comments are on tape (I have not listened to the tape, however it would be available under discovery) and cannot be withdrawn by Mr. Rudd, The Courier Mail has been told that the tape represents evidence and must not be destroyed. The tape has been transcribed.
There is another fact, which I should point out. The OSR in 1994 and 1995 was carrying out a computer data matching process with SEQEB electricity records. The records were crossmatched to ensure that the owner of the premises actually occupied them and that the SEQEB account was not just for a minimum charge. It is apparent that Mr. Rudd was made aware of this process and this is the reason why the air-conditioning unit was left on 24 hours a day. It seems to demonstrate intent.
Whilst he did not name me in person, Mr. Rudd was certainly given the details of my OSR dob-in report. The question then exists as to who passed on the information to Mr. Goss. There is not a great choice of suspects.
The normal chain of reporting matters would by via the Under Treasurer. Whist I don't hold Mr. Bradley in high regard, I don't think he is that stupid either. Ms. Macdonnel, on the other hand, just can't contain herself, as I have demonstrated. There are additional facts, which support this view, which I cannot disclose to you.
The fact that the Dilkera Street Property was not owner occupied and sold for a $40,000 profit after being owned for six months also raises the question of capital gains tax.
As you can see, the Heiner case just keeps going on and on and gets worse and worse.
