Melbournian, you're once again confusing the issue of whether a fraud was committed (it undoubtedly was!) and whether she'll get away with it or not (whether the evidence is sufficient or not to prove the fraud). The fact that the rules are silly is irrelevant. I think it's silly that couples...

You are breaking the rules. You're trying to make it appear that you're residing there, when you're not. You believe that leaving the property empty will avoid your fraud being detected - which it may - but that doesn't mean that you're abiding by the rules. :rolleyes: Ah, forget it - it's...

LOL I want to make it clear that I don't go looking around trying to trip people up. :D I just happened to recall snowwhite asking for help with a purchase a few months ago, and had it in my mind that she'd asked about an IP rather than PPOR... so I went and had a look to see why I'd had that...

Nah, she just seems clueless that she's done anything dubious. Takes a lot more than that to get me worked up. :) And I talk too much. :D And I'm stuck in bed with my laptop sick. :(

But you knew you wouldn't be living there for half a year. The fact that you left it empty to try and manufacture false evidence to support your fraud doesn't change the fact that you were attempting to commit fraud. The only thing you seem to be complaining about is that you're bad at it and...

Um, no, she presented it that way, but looking back on her posts, she knew they wouldn't be living in the property prior to purchase, but nonetheless lodged a fraudulent claim for the FHOG and stamp duty concessions knowing that she wasn't entitled to them. That's a bit different.

snowwhite's actions weren't that bad, or having to pay it back isn't that big a deal? :confused:

Yes, it's completely unreasonable to expect people to behave with integrity. :rolleyes:

If you intend to do it, you're not abiding by the law. The intention of the FHOG is for people to buy a home. Yes, some people try to bend the rules, but that doesn't mean that it's legal, and it's certainly not ethical. From OSR QLD webpage: What makes you think that? :confused:

snowwhite, reading back on some of your previous posts, I'm not feeling sympathetic. You explicitly state in this thread of 5th August 2010, which I can only assume relates to the property in question: Thus you always intended for this property to be an investment, and knew prior to...
