Some 24 communications were sent or posted. Most were to Vandenberg, four were to her lawyers, and two were to staff at her business. One of those, sent by Elliot to Vandenberg on June 6, 2018 said: “I am determined and consistent and will keep coming at you with more and more legal ammunition. I am a one-man army and my mind is a weapon of mass destruction. I am the general and I along with Kirsten will be victorious in this war.”

The University of Melbourne will not have to pay land tax on land it rents to a student accommodation company for $1 a year after the Victorian Supreme Court found that the university’s charitable status was not undermined by the for-profit nature of the deal.
