When it comes to our knowing our lawful position in Australia it's worth looking at trust structures.
Value is what is held in a trust, that is the point of why any trust exists. Experiencing our peaceful enjoyment of our life and property is highly valued, many would say.
While we remain as peaceful inhabitant of this land called Australia, there is no reason we should not benefit from that value. The Commonwealth and federalised Original States was constituted on that idea.
The job here is to protect that value. To do so, sometimes that job is outsourced to a commercial company, like Councils of named communities that have CEO etc.
We become customers of those kind of companies, using all kinds of their services offered. So there a legitimate claim to hold us to the company's terms and also recover any costs for services rendered to us.
That is while we take on a role to take care of that value mentioned above. That role has expressed rights, responsibilities and obligations with it.
It's a trustee role to be responsible to hold, care for and eventually deliver that aforementioned value to whomever will benefit from it.
So when taking a role of trustees, it means we are also liabile for having a third-party do our work. But all-in-all our primary value is still protected as well as our freedom to enter into private agreements with whomever we like.
For example, we can enter into a commercial arrangement with the Council. As far as.I know these private agreements are guided by equity and not at law, at least not directly.
I'd want to ask myself, what makes me so sure I'm the beneficiary and what makes me so sure I've not willingly taking on the role of trustee and act as surety of what any liability incurred?
