Yep I've had to get a few refunds on eBay when buying new products from China when they aren't fit for purpose ,there are a few sellers that say the buyer has to pay return postage but that's not eBay's policy so you can get a full refund without paying to return an item that doesn't match the sellers description.
The City of Casey say on their webpage ,Unfortunately, in recent days, our Customer Service Team has been subjected to threatening behaviour as a result of inaccurate information. I've always wondered when we will be taxed for breathing as we get taxed for almost everything else ,I guess a pollution tax is as good as a breathing tax.
I didn't know how many things now require a permit in Casey Norm ,I guess if you work inside a shed /garage where people can't see there shouldn't be a problem.
In a few weeks I may be down your way Norm to drop off some scrap ,I can drop off that friction drive I have here if you want it at no charge ,I realize you may not want to use it if it has asbestos in it. Up to you.
