An AVO in New South Wales is called an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) if you and the person against whom you are seeking the order have been or are in a domestic relationship. This means: * being married or in a de facto relationship * living at the same premises (including in a residential care facility) * being in an intimate relationship * being related (including as kin or extended family if you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person). Otherwise, the AVO is called an Apprehended Personal Violence Order (APVO). In an APVO the court will order you and the defendant to go to mediation unless there is good reason not to.

Stamp Duty in #NewSouthWales Stamp duty is a kind of levy which operates similar to a tax. Stamp duty in New South Wales is administered by the #NSW Office of State Revenue. Stamp duty is imposed on 'dutiable transactions'. Some common examples of dutiable transactions include transfers of shares or units, and transfers of 'dutiable property' such as land. However, there are also a number of concessions and exemptions from stamp duty, the most relevant to individuals being the first home buyers' scheme. The rules for how stamp duty is imposed and how much duty is payable are contained in the Duties Act 1997. The NSW Office of State Revenue provides some guidance on how stamp duty is imposed and how concessions and exemptions are applied in a number of revenue rulings.
