I believe this is a monumental frame-up similar to that of the Hilton Bombers in the 60s and it is politically motivated. There has been political interference at every level of Ivan's various appeals. I believe it is no co-incidence that Ivan lodges yet another appeal and suddenly the negative publicity appears in the media.
- some of my reasons......
1. The Bennetton top allegedly taken from one of the victims was purchased from a Sydney retail outlet. This evidence was known to both the crown and the defence.
2. Property belonging to Simone Schmidl were taken from the home of a Ms Murphy at Guildford.
3. Property belonging to Simone Schmidl was found at Bright, Victoria. Some of these items were later found at the home of Ivan Milat. How they got there should be a matter for the Police Integrity Commission.
4. The blue daypack allegedly belonging to Simone Schmidl discovered at Walter Milat's home could not have belonged to her. A family photo of the backpack at Walter's home was taken prior to Simone's death.
5. Arresting detectives were captured by the television news carrying fully formed cartons into the Milat home.
6. Ivan and Richard Milat explained to police the origin of some items at both their homes. Backpacks held up in court, as 'evidence' appeared to be new and unused. Statements that those brands could only be purchased in Europe were fabrications.
7. Simone Schmidl's mother was not examined nor a statement taken from her regarding certain items that she had earlier identified and were found in Victoria.
8. The incompetent handling of the DNA evidence was detrimental to the defence case. No description was led as to the colour of the hairs found in the hand of one of the victims. Recent re-examination of the DNA evidence has cleared Ivan Milat and all members of his family. This should be making headlines - but still Ivan Milat remains incarcerated.
9. The loss of Paul Onions' original statement coupled with the original Joanne Berry statement raises suspicions. These statements were made at separate police stations. Neither the police nor the witnesses retained a copy of the original statements. This is suggestive that there was hiding or destruction of these documents. In his original statement Paul Onions had described a man around six feet tall with a spare wheel mounted on the back of his car. This does not fit the description of Ivan Milat at all.
10. To depict sightings by credible witnesses as false was designed to undermine and mislead the evidence that supported a different pattern to the police theory.
11. The police failed to video record the search of the Milat residences. This reflects on the integrity of the police searches.
12. If the second statement by Paul Onions was so credible, why was Ivan Milat not arrested sooner?
13. Only one item of evidence was produced with a fingerprint on it. For the police and crown to suggest that Ivan wiped all of the items free of prints or wore latex gloves was ludicrous considering the amount of property concerned.
14. Forensic evidence showed neither the Bowie knife or the blunt sword found at Ivan's mother's place could have been used in the attacks on the victims. Of all the guns seized from Milat family members not on of them was ever fired in Belanglo Forest. Ivan Milat maintains a Ruger rifle part was planted in his home and recent sackings of corrupt police suggest they were indeed capable of such acts.
15. A vital witness, Jock Pittiway, gave Alex Milat a backpack. Pittiway also gave a trailer load of items to Richard Milat. Pittiway should have been investigated by police.
The FIRM: Friends of Ivan Robert Milat
Call.me.Laure.O
"Ivan Milat was not the only suspect in this case. There were other suspects, in particular one from Wollongong of European origin whose children saw him doing suspicious things. The man from Wollongong had a long history of violence against women and many criminal convictions including convictions for paedophilia. He was obsessed with guns and had been in the armed forces overseas. He looks not unlike Ivan Milat in appearance and is of similar build. This particular suspect's car was seized by Task Force Air and human bloodstains were found in the back. If police really want to reopen the case they could start by comparing his DNA with that found under the victim's fingernails." - JULY 19th, 2005
When the children started to talk to the counsellors, they began to tell more and more of what had been going on. They had confidence that they were safe and were believed. They said that their father had picked up hitch hikers and had killed them by stabbing and mutilating them. He had made the children help him put the body parts in plastic bags and take them to the bush.
The counsellors called Wollongong Detectives and my children were interviewed. I was not present during the interviews. Meanwhile the bodies of the murdered backpackers were found in Belanglo Forest. The bodies were buried east-west and each one had a circle of stone beside it. These are occult symbols. A stone altar was found in the forest but quickly dismantled by police who did not want public panic. An investigative journalist, then of the Illawarra Mercury and now of the Bulletin, confirmed some of these things. I got in touch with him and told him our story.
My children had stated on occasions their father had killed people both by shooting them and by stabbing them over and over, in the presence of many other people, probably in some kind of occult sacrificial ritual. The people found dead in Belanglo had been killed by the same method, and there were occult overtones.

Ed: There is so much nonsense in this case some people believe Bob Carr has over-baked his cake. One wonders whether he'll eat it as well? A good start would be to give Ivan a fair appeal and stop filibustering by not providing him legal aid or assistance, considering this is the worst of the worst cases. The people of this community deserve to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. Only after that process has finished should the Daily Terror continue to bring forward alleged witness who claims otherwise like John Garrihy today and John Marsden last week. Equally if you follow the links there appears to be many other witnesses that the Daily Terror have failed to report?

These are serious invasions of privacy and draconian laws? Where are our democratic soldiers, the lawyers and the barristers who need to take on the government in the courts? Are they plastic?

"You don't have, in my view very vigilant processes. I suppose it's akin to the problem of corruption within the police," he told the ABC radio. " People say there's corruption with the police (but) do you get the police to investigate problems within their own ranks?
Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service. The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.
Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.
Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep. Another word for it is sleaze, yeah. Another word for it is workplace harassment. Another word for it is bribing a Police Officer. Another word for it is misleading Parliament.
Tele Tales
Most people I know don't buy the Daily Telegraph. Why? Because of the lies and propaganda purported by them.
Lord Denning
Interesting how a member of the Police Board Mr. Tim Priest would hold grave fears for his safety from dangerous senior police but fails to name them or have them sacked. Rather Priest resigns as if he had no powers. Could that mean what he was saying is that the Governments are also corrupt?
Corrosive
Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House. Small who suffers from the little person syndrome is the ideal bend over boy who gets shuffled through his corrupt actions. Rolling the legal system for him after the fact, just like his predecessor Roger the dodger Rogerson.
Black Nexus
The Separation of Powers Doctrine is nowcontaminated witharangeofcolours, now leaving us with a black shirt on a once blue bridge that crossed that thin blue line. The 'Amery and Woodham show'.
Same boat
The Premier, Bob Carr, relies on a militia. A gang of bikies and our Police Service, to show all of us he is no murderer. He should be taken to the task along with his partners in crime like Clive Small to account for those people who like my self have been maliciously assaulted and who have complained, without any service and those who cannot speak for themselves who were murdered, like Terry Falconer. Terry murdered in custody.

Roger Rogerson, the old hero, who never faced a result in the Warren Lanfranchi, or Sally-Anne Huckstepp murders, was let off in my opinion when the New South Wales Government rolled the legal system (deciding what evidence to give the police prosecutor) to have the jury believe the illusion they (the Government wanted to create).

Innocent until proven guilty? Not in Australia's outback!
There is no way that Bradley John Murdoch can get a fair trial in the Northern Territory. The entire jury pool is already contaminated, the general public have accepted the verdict of the Northern Territory News and the NT Police State has turned on the cone of silence. Maybe some of the reporters might want to ask Director of Public Prosecutions Rex Wilde QC just how he is going to secure a conviction when a body has not been found. Surely the NT bureaucracy learnt from the Lindy Chamberlain case that it is not a good idea to jail someone for murder when you haven't got a body. Maybe they have the same people working on the case. The NT Police forensic team certainly do.
Taken "A Dingo Took My Baby!"
They were the words that Lindy Chamberlain had screamed out into the blackness of the cold night in a camping ground close to Ayers Rock, Central Australia, on the night of August 17, when she discovered that her nearly ten-week-old baby, Azaria had been taken by a dingo.
Man Says He Shot Dingo That Snatched Baby SYDNEY, Australia (July 5) - A distraught mother's scream 24 years ago that a dingo snatched her baby from a camp site near Ayers Rock in the Australian Outback ignited one of Australia's most enduring mysteries. An elderly man's claim that he retrieved the infant's bloodied body from the jaws of the wild dog has revived the case and - if true - could finally lead to the discovery of Azaria Chamberlain's body.
