In short:
An Adelaide man has been found guilty of contempt of court after ignoring court orders to remove an unauthorised cheese facility built in his backyard.
The Environment, Resources and Development Court found retiree John Kitsis “wilfully disobeyed” court orders.
What’s next?
He was ordered to pay court costs exceeding $120,000.
so it’s a greek guy who moved to oz in 1990, but didn’t understand the court order of 2020 because he didn’t speak english… how do you live 30 years these and don’t learn english?!

Sounds like Old Mate’s trampled on a bunch of council rules then decided he didn’t need to follow the court orders about said trampling. He had years to work it out and didn’t. The language barrier is no excuse at all.

This is one of those “if everybody did that” rules. Sure, it’s irksome to be told what you can or can not do in the privacy of your own home. However, if everybody set up a cottage industry in their back yard it would cause obvious problems.
If a neighbor complained, there’s a good chance there were odors or pests or whatever. Case in point really.

At the risk of sounding stupid, what would the problems caused by a large number of people making their own cheese be?
