Jumbun Limited, the community-owned organisation that manages assets including 26 houses and farmland, gets its income from the rent and leases.
She said in recent years Jumbun Limited had owed $400,000 to various government entities, like the Australian Taxation Office, and was now $20,000 in the red.She has been training a couple of locals on the corporation's administration systems, and started talking to governments and employment agencies about job opportunities for the community.
More commendable than most but still asking to be GIVEN everything to see IF they can adopt the necessary attitudes and skills to make a go of it. The report also fails to expand on the claim (or excuse) that their life is made difficult by the government 'moving the goalposts'.
Good on them for having a go, and if they can sustain the vision for more than one or two generations they will have a good chance of creating a perpetual sustainability, something most white utopian groups have failed to do. The core leadership group needs a succession plan.
Did the discover home brew?
