Dodgy real estate spruiker cops $6m fine
A less than trustworthy property pusher has just been hit with a massive $6m fine for dodgy practices.
DG Institute property spruiker Dominique Grubisa, who has sold her Turramurra abode for $5.28 million, has copped a $6 million fine for misleading conduct.
“Her conduct was deliberate and dishonest,” Federal Court Justice Ian Jackman said in ruling the fine in the ACCC civil case, which faces an appeal.
The Bobbin Head Rd address is still on the ASIC records of Grubisa, who gave 52 seminars between 2018 and 2022.

Grubisa listed her North Shore pile in July last year.
“Wedgewood Lodge promises a life of convenience and an oasis of peace and privacy,” the listing reads.
“With its commanding presence, this landmark property is the perfect blend of elegance and modern sophistication.

“With an estate-like entry onto 1,960 sqm of grounds, there is ample room for multiple vehicles or boats. Formal dining and lounge room with chandeliers, a gorgeous fire place and French doors lead onto the rear patio.
“The options are endless with fully equipped home cinema, family room with conservatory and numerous entertaining areas both indoor and out.”
According to PropTrack the median house price in Turramurra is $3.325m, up 9.9 per cent over the past 12 months.
