I will give you what I think is the answer if great southern still owned the loans. I would write to the recievers via my lawyers and state that the two transactions ( ie the investment and the loan) are not mutually exclusive.

I would then say as gtp did not plant my trees my loan was not used for its intended purpose and therefore the on investment should be nulled and the loan waived.

I would then write to the ATO and advise them that I need to amend my tax return for the 2008 year and repay the tax savings associated.

I'd have plenty of legal precedent and ammo.

It might interest you to know that my loan was sold by the receivers two a couple of Jewish dudes for around $0.07 in the dollar or my $100,000 loan was sold for $7,000 the equivalent of 7 months repayments.

They all know the case I have outlined and priced it accordingly
