Justice Denied

By Gi Linda --

Nightcap Village sells a dream:
"Become an eco home owner - join Australia's future thinking alternative communities. Respect the planet and make a wise property investment at the same time."

Deceptive marketing. Three years ago I bought that lie, and now pay the price and suffer the loss with justice denied.

Gi Linda, defrauded investor

I am Gillian Linda Norman, known as Gi Linda. I'm an award-winning documentary filmmaker and former researcher/reporter for BBC tv/radio and the London Sunday Times. 

I am one of 21 ingenuous property investors who swallowed the snake oil, made a "wise property investment" to become "an eco home owner" in a Mt Burrell community, and became trapped in an audacious Australian land-share scam.

Since 2015 I have been attempting to recover my lost investment, battling blog wars and dancing on a tilted stage seeking justice at Murwillumbah Local Court, NSW Supreme Court and Qld Federal Court. 

Mt Burrell Land-Share Scam

 

The fraud is run by finance manager Adrian Brennock, who runs an “unconventional business” of selling home-sites without development approval on environmentally protected land where dwelling is prohibited.

Failure of "Bhula Bhula Community Village" in 2016 left investors with only broken dreams of dream homes, fleeced of about $2.2 million.  

As angry investors were evicted, Brennock took control of the property and the Mt Burrell land-share scam continued and expanded with promotion by American health celebrities Don and Tyler Tolman.

In 2016, the imagined "Community Village" was re-named "Mt Warning Eco Village", then "NightCap Village” and "Nightcap on Minjungbal Holistic Village".

Brennock extended the scam from the usurped property at 3222 Kyogle Rd to include a 3,200 acre property owned by neighbor Peter van Lieshout, whose wife, Joan van Lieshout, is former Mayor of Tweed Shire, and whose brother is Queensland's top billionaire, Super A-Mart founder and successful property developer, John van Lieshout.

Currently, in 2018, Brennock continues his unconventional business of selling home-sites on properties at Mt Burrell without development approval. Partnering with landowner Peter van Lieshout as majority shareholder, sale of pre-DA home-sites and “swap-outs” now involves more than 20 companies with interlocking directorships and shareholdings.

Perhaps the clamor of defrauded investors is easier to ignore when the rich and famous are associated and a quick profit from "unconventional business" is at stake?
