Point taken......... as I've said many times before there are Agents .......... and Agents; some not as good or as honest as others. I didn't even know where the REBA office was until I had to pay them a visit to apply for my Triennial License. Shonky operators visit their premises on a regular basis.
Agree with you 100% re unqualified persons offering advice. It can come back to bite us; especially so since the financial Services Reform Act came into being.
Same applys to GST; I refrain from giving out advice re GST........... I tell my clients to clarify their concern with a qualified accountant or tax specialist. As well as houses I sell businesses too so the dreaded GST (similar to VAT for you UK folks) has always been a grey area.
