Royal Commissions a wast of public money?

The New South Wales Opposition has renewed calls for a Royal Commission into the Department of Corrective Services.

[But Noble Cause Corruption prevents any such thing. Prisoners in NSW don't have that luxury and that means rotten Ron Woodham can continue to make up allegations against Prisoners and lie to the people of NSW about it.]

Upper House Liberal MP John Ryan has claimed in Parliament there is clear evidence that serious levels of corruption exist throughout the administration of the department. Mr Ryan outlined allegations yesterday of a governor blowing the cover of an inmate who was acting as an informant for the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

He says many reports of complaints and allegations of corruption have not been dealt with or have been kept secret.

"There is excellent evidence that a properly constituted Royal Commission into the department would uncover levels of corruption equal to or worse than that which was uncovered by the Wood Royal Commission into the New South Wales police service," Mr Ryan said.

Bob Carr in September 02 said "A 100 million for a Royal Commission, for what? Silly spending public money on a Royal Commission to find out what went wrong with the current policy when we can be spending the money on fixing the current policy."

A spokesperson for Justice Action Mr Gregory Kable said, "He was talking about the failure of the Department of Family and Community Service whilst shoving notified abused children into their grave, while it was thought that we didn't notice."

" You just roll the bad head of the department and put on a new head. Exhume the bodies of the children and wave a magic wand over them with the money that would be used for a Royal Commission. "

"Oh, and take the to-morrow pill and forget about yesterday. Get the pill of Michael Costa."

"When something goes wrong and the public want account of it or it's in the governments favour. Mostly, one has to wait for Sixty Minutes or Four Corners after they have been briefed by Carr to let off some steam for good old Gov."

"The Opposition and minor political parties usually jump up and down trying to get a Royal Commission but without the drama of Sixty Minutes or Four Corners there is not enough public determination to order a Royal Commission. Then if you get a Royal Commission it is based on what Carr's brief was and that is all. "

"Shows something doesnt it? Carr is such good bloke? Taking care of corruption that was set up to let of some steam and let the government off the hook in terms of the real damage caused to the community."

"Of course the real damage cannot be looked at because it was at all material times Noble Cause Corruption and Gov ordered its elite to attack with out any rule of law that you or I are subject to."

"In short it just didn't happen, and in fact Gov will do everything it can to delete you or it even veto public officers like the Ombudsman and the Police Integrity Commission or the ICAC, in fact all arms of Government including the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission."

"Further, I can prove it. Ask me for the evidence when police miss informed my local politician Clover Moore with false and misleading information that did cause me distress about the grave possibility of that misinformation could cause me serious injury or even death from the police lies."

"My death most likely by the bullet of a police officer in an isolated location. Three witnesses to none which police tried to set up using the Police Air Wing. But you won't here about that when they claimed I suffered mental illness because I made a complaint against them so they attack my integrity? (Their lies)."

"They won't tell you about the day two Poll Air Choppers tracked me in Rushcutters Bay Park while a young baby dehydrated in 40-degree heat in a BMW at Cabramatta. Police couldn't find the car stolen by someone with the baby in it even though it was around the corner."

"The Police "The choppers were not available their being serviced". The choppers at that time were being used by the elite police for security and not for general police work or emergencies. But for games over the death of a helpless citizen. When I went to the authorities no one was taking notes!"

Tele Tales
So bend over, and cop this. I sent your paper articles in relation to the Loser Gang (bikies) in particular Rebells, Polair and off duty police working together.

"True as it is Bob Carr is so right. He knows that after the money is spent on all the details of a Royal Commission then very little will change anyway. Take a good look at past Royal Commissions like Deaths in Custody and there is little or no change down the track. In fact the Commission's recommendations are ambushed, undermined as with the police Royal Commission."

"I might add in line with the flawed Westminster System. So where does that leave NSW citizens? Spin and Lip Service!"

Who is bad?

Super Rat? M5? M11? K8? N2? So I trust that some people who, with the photos and guns guessed that a jury would quickly establish a case against a profiled person whom, you just had a picture and a history of. Common knowledge? The government knew their victims would take the blame. Not just chess in court, 'moving around the pieces', but 'putting false evidence, or not enough evidence before the jury."

The community questions ICAC's slagging and fobbing you off?


Concerns have been raised about the investigative capacity of the New South Wales Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC), after revelations that a large number of people it has found to have acted corruptly have never been prosecuted in the courts.

[The ICAC, Commissions, Ombudsman, Police Integrity Commission (PIC), and numerous Tribunals etc, are all arms of government set up as an insurance police for the government's 3 or 4 year election terms. In short they'll be out of office by the time you may be lucky enough to have your matter heard.

SKIPPY: You will count the cost when you're damaged and you won't get a hearing or a forum by the Gov to prove your case, unless you have the money for a team of lawyers to take out a civil claim for damages.
