Item 17. Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement
in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act
of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time
it was declared effective. For the purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Dear Sirs

CRUSADE GLOBAL TRUST NO. 1 OF 1999

We have acted for Crusade Management Pty Limited (CML) in connection with the
Crusade Global Trust No. 1 of 1999 (the Trust) to be constituted under the
Master Trust Deed (the Master Trust Deed) dated 14 March 1998 between AXA
Trustees Limited (formerly National Mutual Trustees Limited) (the Trustee) and
CML.

Definitions in the Prospectus (defined below) apply in this opinion but Relevant
Jurisdiction means the Commonwealth of Australia or New South Wales. No
assumption or qualification in this opinion limits any other assumption or
qualification in it.

1.       Documents

         We have examined the following draft documents:

         (a)   the Master Trust Deed;

         (b)   the Notice of Creation of Trust for the Trust;

         (c)   the Supplementary Terms Notice;

         (d)   the Note Trust Deed between CML, the Trustee, the Note Trustee
               HSBC Issuer Services and the Security Trustee;

         (e)   the Note Issue Direction for the Trust;

         (f)   the Agency Agreement between, among others, CML, the Trustee; and

         (g)   a copy of the Prospectus which forms part of the Registration
               Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-84977) filed by CML
               with the Securities and  Exchange Commission (the Commission)
               under the US Securities  Act of 1933 as amended, relating to the
               offer and sale of the Class A Notes by the Trustee (the
               Prospectus).

2.       Assumption

         For the purposes of giving this opinion we have assumed that where a
         document has been submitted to us in draft form it will be executed in
         the form of that draft.

3.       Qualifications

         Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications.

         (a)   We express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of each
               Relevant Jurisdiction as in force at the date of this opinion
               and, in particular we express no opinion as to the laws of
               England or the United States.

         (b)   Our opinion is subject to the explanations and qualifications set
               forth under the caption "Australian Tax Matters" in the
               Prospectus.

4.       Opinion

         Based on the assumptions and subject to the qualifications set out
         above we are of the opinion that while the section entitled "Australian
         Tax Matters" in the Prospectus does not purport to discuss all possible
         Australian tax ramifications of the purchase, ownership, and
         disposition of the Class A Notes, we hereby adopt and confirm the
         opinions set forth in the Prospectus under the heading "Australian Tax
         Matters" which discuss the material Australian income tax consequences
         of the purchase ownership and disposition of the Notes. There can be no
         assurance, however, that the tax conclusions presented in that section
         will not be successfully challenged by the Australian Taxation Office,
         or significantly altered by new legislation, changes in Australian
         Taxation Office positions or judicial decisions, any of which
         challenges or alterations may be applied retroactively with respect to
         completed transactions.

         We consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the
         Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with the Prospectus and to
         the references to this firm under the heading "Australian Tax Matters",
         "Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Australia" and "Legal Matters" in
         the Prospectus, without admitting that we are "experts" within the
         meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 of the rules and regulations of
         the Commission issued under that Act with respect to any part of the
         Registration Statement, including this exhibit.


Yours faithfully

Dear Sirs

CRUSADE GLOBAL TRUST NO. 1 OF 1999


We have acted for Crusade Management Pty Limited (CML) in connection with the
Crusade Global Trust No. 1 of 1999 (the Trust) to be constituted under the
Master Trust Deed (the Master Trust Deed) dated 14 March 1998 between AXA
Trustees Limited (formerly National Mutual Trustees Limited) (the Trustee) and
CML.

Definitions in the Prospectus which forms a part of the Registration Statement
on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-84977) filed by CML with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the US Securities Act of 1933 as amended and relating
to the offer and sale of the Class A Notes by the Trustee (the Prospectus) apply
in this opinion. Relevant Jurisdiction means the Commonwealth of Australia or
New South Wales. No assumption or qualification in this opinion limits any other
assumption or qualification in it.

1.       Documents

         We have examined a copy of the Prospectus.

2.       Assumption

         For the purposes of giving this opinion we have assumed that where a

         the form of that draft.

3.       Qualifications

         force at the date of this opinion and, in particular we express no
         opinion as to the laws of England or the United States.

4.       Opinion

         Based on the assumptions and subject to the qualifications set out
         above (which, except where expressly stated, apply equally to each of
         the opinions below) we are of the following opinion.

         (a)   Any final and conclusive judgment of a court of the State of New
               York, USA, or the United States Federal Court having jurisdiction
               recognised by a the Relevant Jurisdiction, in respect of an
               obligation under a Class A Note, which is for a fixed sum of
               money, would be enforceable by action in the courts of each
               Relevant Jurisdiction without a re-examination of the merits of
               the issues determined by the proceedings in the New York court
               unless:

               (i)    the proceedings in the New York State court or the United
                      States Federal Court, as applicable, involved a denial of
                      the principles or natural justice;

               (ii)   the judgment is contrary to the public policy of the
                      Relevant Jurisdiction;
