Assessors Not Being Paid Within Thirty Days

Green Loans Assessors Face Financial Charges Due To LATE PAYMENT!

Are You One Of The Assessors Having Issues In Being Paid On Time?

GLPAssesor is!

After various phones call to the GLP Helpline 1300 773 451, with further emails to the new invoicing query email address. The outcome is that invoices have not been paid well within the 30 days, as stipulated in the legal contract.

Now in four days when I am charged the extra additional fees for not clearing the credit card on time, and the additional interest! Yes Prime Minister & Senator Penny Wong, I will be seeking these extra charges from the department on my next invoice, or in court!

Are You An Assessor With The Same Problem Of Late Green Loan Assessment Payment?

If you are outside of the 30 days with your invoices being paid, leave your story here as a comment. It would seem yet again we have another Government department [DCCEE] that does not live up to it's legal contract.

And most likely goes home at 5.00, instead of clearing the backlog which no doubt will be used as an excuse, for late payment. Not good enough!

Yet again this Government cannot get the basics of business correct. Issue's that in if the private sector would mean head's rolling!

Small Businesses go broke due to the Governments inability to stick to a legal contract! Pay within 30 days! Read more from this group of unhappy assessors.

Important Message : Information Containing Private Personal / Business Details

As from 25th March at 7.00pm, the automatic system created by Google's blogger platform, where information posted to this blog live via an email address went live, has been STOPPED by GLPAssessor.

From now on ALL DATA forwarded via the 'email posting address' will be held as a draft copy until it is checked by GLPAssessor to see if it contains personal & business details such as email address, telephone numbers and other private information.

If it does, assessors are asked to follow the information with an email to GLPAssessor. This email should include proof that the personal / business details have been Ok'd by the owner of the said details, giving permission for them to be made public. Where the sender of the information has their private / business information stated in the content, it must state for 'public use' in the content.

This change has occurred due to personal details ending up in the public arena via this blog site. This was not intended to happen by the assessor concerned and was done by pure accident.

On being notified by the owner of these details, the information was removed from this blog by GLPAssessor within 12 hours of notification. Links that were active to this information were also deleted at this time. Google has already updated some of it's index to show this and further spidering by Google will remove any trace of the information. The index was searched at the same time and showed that the links were in fact null & void.

This blog was created one afternoon whilst waiting for the GLP Call centre to answer. A blog designed for assessors, to use as a platform to have their say. For assessors who seemed to have so much passion, but found to be stuck behind a forum firewall.

As GLPAssessor never intended to be tied to the desk of this blog, that was why Google's automatic posting seemed like an excellent idea and tool to use. Where assessors could simply 'have their say' in the real world! At the time of blog creation GLPAssessor assumed content would have been cleared for posting! In retrospect maybe one could say, it would be only a matter of time before information posted may contain private information.

As no body likes the idea of personal details being posted in unfamiliar places, GLPAssessor wishes to apologise to the party concerned, who's details were incorrectly posted automatically by an assessor to the public arena via this Green Loan Assessors blog.

GLPAssessor has contacted the assessors whom posted the information informing / confirming with them the information has been removed due to a breach of privacy.

Remember it is the assessors posting the information who are responsible for checking the content of the 'posting', and not GLPAssessor. As said already mentioned GLPAssessor will only allow information to be posted, once confirmation is received.

ALL information from now on will be strictly checked for any infringement of privacy.

Once again this error happened by accident, and Google's system has been adjusted to allow it not to happen again.

This error has happened during a turbulent time in the life of many assessors, which should not have occurred, where passions and stress are high, assessors tested to their limits due to the injustice of this debacle.

Details on How To Post To This Blog have been updated with this updated information.

GLPAssessor will periodically [3-4 days] check the 'draft copies' and if no further information has been received regarding the data it will be deleted.

ABSA Member Update : Canberra Meetings : 17th March

ABSA's CEO and Chairman met with Senator Wong in Canberra yesterday to continue our ongoing discussions about the Green Loans Program and the impact of the problems with the scheme for ABSA members.

ABSA were encouraged by the discussions which included three of the Minister's political advisers and four senior public servants from the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE). This should be viewed as a positive sign for ABSA members.

ABSA's CEO and Chairman left the meeting with a clear sense that no further knee jerk decisions were likely and that the Minister was absolutely committed to making decisions that were lasting, with solid policy foundations.

The meeting ran for over an hour with the Minister clearly interested in resolving issues and responsive to the concerns put forward by ABSA about the impacts on individuals. ABSA understands that the meeting between the Minister, staff and Departmental officials continued after ABSA's involvement had concluded. Again, this was encouraging.

Some of the discussion points included issues surrounding quality, clearly articulating objectives and a range of member concerns relayed to the Minister from our member base.

ABSA have been asked for further information on a number of different suggestions we had made on your behalf which we are working quickly to supply.

ABSA is also seeking approval to release the discussion paper, supplied to the Minister, publicly. We will keep you informed on this.

As you are aware, ABSA is looking for long term outcomes which help to both establish a solid industry for our members and improve residential sustainability. We do believe that we are making progress, however it is slower than we would like.

We would point out that the Minister has asked for ABSA's co-operation and patience while she sorts through what is a highly complex and problematic set of issues.

ABSA also held discussions with Senator Xenophon (Independent- South Australia), Senator Birmingham (Liberal- South Australia) and Senator Milne's (Greens- Tasmania) adviser. It was clear that people from all sides of politics remain concerned about the problems that have beset the Green Loans Program and are committed to assisting wherever they can.

ABSA will be providing some further information and advice to our members over what you can do to assist in securing practical, long term solutions. We will also be providing some advice and guidance for your consideration on any role each of you can play in the number of inquiries and reviews underway.

Green Loans Program Meetings : News : Statements : Calls To Action

Green Loans Assessors & Assessor Groups are advised to use this blog platform, to get information out there in the public domain. Information is best shared to increase the size of the collective.

This blog is fully automated, where you create the posting via emailing it to an email address.
Each posting is fed around the internet via RSS feed, twitter and podcast and is easily shared in it's different formats.

If you have access to ABSA's forum the details are posted within. Read this blog entry:
