I think last time we spoke, I was going to rattle the cage of a local council.
This is a story about a Sydney council, Canterbury-Bankstown, and a bloke that lives in h- in that ward, Paul, who bought a house with a granny flat-
Lo and behold, 13 years later, after he and his son had been living there, um, they get a notice from council saying, "The granny flat was never approved, so you gotta move out.
And what that triggered was a thousand-day battle between Paul and his local council-
Every day.

In late 2020, council issued Paul a cease to occupy notice for the granny flat.
Lewis, can you remember the day when the people from the council came over and they walked into your, your bedroom? Can you remember that day?
Yeah.
It was uncomfortable.
