… I have nothing to do with Mr. Kumar, Dural etc. I don’t understand why we are on your blogs?
Amreeta Paligaru, 16 February 2021, WhatsApp, 10.06pm.
Amreeta messaged me a number of times this evening (16/2/2021) through Whatsapp, Facebook and on other platforms, amongst other things writing:
… I have nothing to do with Mr. Kumar, Dural etc. I don’t understand why we are on your blogs.
Is this true?
According to clause 5 of the Schedule, Ralph Paligaru warrants that effectively he and Amreeta borrowed $540,000 against their own family home ….
so as to benefit Mohan Kumar as his principal.
Amreeta must have known that she either did or did not enter into the Franklin Yeezy borrowings “to benefit Mohan Kumar”?
Ultimately, Amreeta (and Ralph) received $500,000 of Mr. Kumar’s money in the Kesinda proceedings which they applied toward’s legal expenses from the Kesinda proceedings with a sum in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (of Mr. Kumar’s funds) used to reduce Ralph & Amreeta‘s own mortgage.
The writer finds this puzzling?
Puzzling?
Why does Amreeta (and Ralph) need to borrow $540,000 (at 6% a month) just to benefit Mohan Kumar?
According to the warranty above, Ralph says he (and presumably Amreeta) entered the arrangements with Craig Adams to borrow $540,000 from Franklin Yeezy using their own house as security
Regrettably Greg, despite working in a team with 200 years experience and $300m in projects (as discussed below), experienced some dramas with ASIC and others as the following documents suggest:
Despite the above, we couldn’t find a mention of these facts upon his website which states:
A carefully selected team of experts boasts a combined experience of more than 200 years of industry knowledge including one of Sydney’s leading Town Planners …
Managing Directors, Greg and Karen Walker are well known in the industry for their ability to convert raw sites into development approvals and thus creating a high return on investment ***.
In addition to Macarthur Projects dedicated full time staff, the company has invested in long term relationships that span nearly two decades with some of the industries most highly regarded consultants who add real strength and experience to the mix.
More than 80% of Macarthur’s developments are the result of off market transactions…..
Macarthur Projects has a 100% success rate in approvals through the consent authorities, this includes the NSW Land and Environment Court. This provides the foundation to the project success. …
The philosophy adopted by Macarthur Projects to utilise a balance of both in-house staff and external consultants, gives the company a nimble advantage to respond to matters of urgency.

It is unknown if the long-suffering residents and Owners Body Corporate – the people who ultimately from their own pockets footed the bill to correct the defects and incomplete works left by Greg Walker and his company are recorded as creditors? These defects are discussed in our separate blog:
The writer was greatly saddened to read that Greg Walker’s unfortunate run continues with not 1 but 2 receivers now appointed over The Archibald Project at Gosford and angry non-Homebuilder grant recipients wishing to terminate their contracts?
Other than these minor issues, Greg’s latest project is virtually amazing:
In a test run for the real thing perhaps, during a ferocious 59km/hr breeze, various inadequacies were exposed:

Virtually finished and ready to move in, or will it take as long to build as Barkala?
To bring The Archibald within reach of any purchaser with a pulse, Greg Walker notes that the NSW Government & the HomeBuilder grant were available as free money. It is unknown whether the project and off the plan purchasers are in-fact eligible for the $15,000 Homebuilder grant?
Free money – OSR NSW (conditions apply)
It is rumoured that Greg Walker was able to complete the acquisition of Archibald land, despite declaring to the NSW Office of State Revenue that the contract had been rescinded and not re-entered, with the benefit of a few ($16,000,000 of) helping hands dollars from Keith Snell whilst alive. Unfortunately Keith could not attend the public examinations re: 131MVR nor provide any answers to its liquidators.

Why are some Biteriot employees paid $70 per day, and other Biteriot workers working 27.5 hours day, 192 hours per week? What is the right level of employee remuneration / incentive in a pandemic, what can other farmers learn from Nuffield Scholar, Fiona Hall and master motivator Claudio Brown?
Whine or wine?
Renowned winetaster, Fiona Hall of Biteriot recently complained about the local workforce in Orange, NSW saying:
the inability of overseas backpackers … had led to staff shortages … they employed university and high school students …
“We had somegood locals, but we [also] had some locals who did one day on, one day off [lacking] consistency,” ….
Mrs Hall said the government’s COVID-relief payments had not helped with the staff shortages.
“It wasn’t an incentive for people to go out and pick cherries,” she said.
The writer wonders, given chief fruit picker Fiona Hall is involved in the phoenixing of 4 Bonny Glen companies in liquidation with DW Advisory – does Fiona feel her companies have paid sufficient tax to warrant the Government providing some kind of fruit growers exemption from the Covid relief package?
Fiona wants to employ motivated staff like Claudio Brown???
The writer wonders why Fiona, an alleged Nuffield Scholar, doesn’t re-employ Claudio as a mentor to help “some locals” (as Fiona refers to them) lacking motivation…. Claudio works 27.5 hours per day.
Does Biteriot expect too much of locals?
Perhaps Mrs Hall, before criticising Orange locals, apart from employing Claudio Brown as a mentor, should she also perhaps consider a report from the employees perspective in today’s ABC (online)?
Nineteen-year-old Matthew Rolston bought a bus ticket … had the full backpacker experience — even staying in a hostel.
His first ever fruit-picking job was “actually rather enjoyable” at first.
“I kind of went through half a bottle of water, realised there was nowhere to fill it up and had to ration half a bottle of water for the rest of the day,” he said. …
Hostels cost more than wages earned
Things on the farm ended “rather sourly” for Mr Rolston when his wages for six 10-hour working days came through — three weeks after he first started.
Luka said he made $280 in six days picking fruit.(Supplied)
“And then, when we did end up getting paid, we didn’t get the full amount,” he said.
“I was supposed to earn around $550, I ended up getting $450.
“There was no way that we’d be making over a $1,000.”
His friend Luka Wighton, who also worked on the farm, said he had gone along hoping for “a bit of an adventure” — but ended up feeling “a little bit taken advantage of”.
“It was exhausting work … I mean, I’d be fine with it, if it was more pay, but we were kind of at a loss,” he said.
His $280 wage — paid on piece-rate agreement — meant he paid more for his accommodation at the hostel than he earned, as did Mr Rolston.
“I didn’t expect to make much money, but I thought I’d go back with a little bit of a profit,” Mr Wighton said.
Chloe said she gets paid hourly and that her rate was about $14.
Jodie* was hesitant to share her tale of rejection under her real name … At times she said felt employers “danced around” the wage topic, tried to make the job sound “as unappealing as possible” or made “unreasonable” requests.
She said she was starting to think some farmers might prefer migrant workers to Australians because they would be less likely to complain about small wages.
“I feel like they don’t have the same sort of legal requirements around wages,” she said.
“I know a lot of them live on site and [employers] charge them accommodation and all that sort of stuff.”
This is sharply different to the wage of under 18 year old local fruitpicker known as Claudio Brown – earning sometime $4800 per week (tax free) working 27.5 hours a day.
2. 35 had no bank accounts, multiple other persons also shared bank accounts.
3. 11 of the persons with no address also had no bank accounts.
4. 24 had no date/s of birth.
5. 530 had no superannuation membership number.
6. 143 had no tax file number, yet 63 received a tax free threshold of circa $20,000.
7. Between 9 December 2013 and 5 January 2014, the accused purported to supply services to the victim company, Homeward Bound Holdings Pty Ltd (in liquidation) said to total approximately $92,000.
