Houses raided over 'possible' political attack plans?

According to reports in Corp Media & News Ltd newspapers

What! We trust that source?

Since when?

ASIO have raided a number of properties in Melbourne on a 'fishing expedition' in relation to a 'possible' political scare campaign by the hoWARd government, playing on the fears of all Australians... again!

ASIO and, the Australian Federal police (AFP) and Victorian police have raided a number of properties in Melbourne in relation to the alleged 'possible' political fear campaign by hoWARd and his cronies and subsequent propaganda attacks on the community by News Ltd.

A spokeswoman for the Australian Community says ASIO and friends are in contempt of the community at large and the political fear campaign by the hoWARd government is just another political witch-hunt to scare the community.

"These raids are inappropriate and show no good will by the authorities because 'ding dong' the 'wicked old witch is dead'," she said.

"Furthermore, nothing is reasonable about a raid on people's homes because for an alleged possibility. For those sorts of enquiries one should approach a 'soothsayer' and if you get the all clear only then should they approach people via the front door with the appropriate warrant to search one's home. A warrant based on concrete evidence that has been filtered by a judge or magistrate of the court to see whether the material is frivolous or vexatious."

It is 'believed' the fishing expedition uncovered information during a 10-month investigation, called Operation Pandanus, suggesting a group of Islamic extremists were planning the attacks.

But if I believed that I was going to win the lottery next week I'd strongly suggest that that belief rests on very extremely long odds. And I certainly wouldn't pledge my freedom or liberty on the outcome of my belief and at best I would only gamble say, a packet of prawn bait on winning!

The ASIO raiders are 'believed' to have interviewed up to four people in Melbourne and two in Sydney.

Neighbours of a home raided at Brunswick, in Melbourne's north, said that they knew that they were fishing because "they had News Ltd written all over them" said one neighbour.

I strongly suggest that the only extremist group is ASIO who no doubt attended survival-training camps in this country to carry out terrorist activity on our very own citizenry. After that sort of misbehaviour today it could only encourage someone to get angry and we have a couple of examples below.

Why would an ASIO 'fishing expedition' tell 'News Ltd anything'? May I suggest that these are the only loose-links that should be discussed? News Ltd and the very radical hoWARd government in Canberra, which have apparently been using large articles for propaganda purposes to attack targets including the Australian Community with unwarranted and uncalled for baseless fears.

News Ltd

"Authorities do not expect to lay any charges as the raids were planned to disrupt the group to avert possible attacks."

GKCNN: Planned to disrupt the community more like it.

News Ltd

" An 'unnamed' source told the newspapers the targets had "shown a real intent to do something".

GKCNN: But we know the sources name stupid it's 'john hoWARd' and his mate 'phillip ruddock' with tomato sauce dripping down their ugly faces.

News Ltd

"They are talking a lot about terrorist attacks overseas and expressing extremist view, and talking about doing something here to show support for those Islamic groups committing terrorist acts elsewhere," the source said.

GKCNN: With that sort of offensive behaviour by "authorities" is it any wonder!

Terror Laws: Asio, Counter-Terrorism and the Threat to Democracy

The underlying concern of this book is the issue of balancing the needs for national [in]security [because of the resource wars in the Middle East and the occupation and genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan and now a reduction] with individual rights and freedoms. Author Jenny Hocking argues that, in the light of [USA, CIA, false flag operations] September 11 and [CIA] Bali [Call to Arms], the [in]security legislation proposed, and in part passed, by the [criminal] Howard government compromises the separation of powers and individual legal and political rights. The theme extends throughout the book, and her discussion of the establishment and history of ASIO [false flag operations and the Hilton Bombing] gives context to current debates.

Adler faces jail disciplinary charges?

Rodney Adler will face disciplinary charges for allegedly carrying out business activities from jail after the prison authorities illegally scanned his mail in a minimum-security prison in breach of the Federal Postal Act.

After rotten ron woodham the commissioner of Corruptive Services who works for the corrupt injustice minister john hatzistergoose, who incidentally works for the corrupt premier bob carr, the longest serving dictator in NSW history, passed on the alleged contraband mail to the Australian Securities Commission for corrupt 'prospects'.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) decided there was no breach of the Corporations Act.

So what was all the fuss about really?

PUNISHMENT!

Mr Adler was transferred from the Kirkconnell minimum-security prison in New South Wales to a higher security prison last weekend after allegations he was secretly carrying out business while pretending to help his children with homework.

ASIC says despite being banned from managing a company for 20 years, seeking company reports is allowed.

JUST LIKE CHECKING YOUR PERSONAL MAIL AND RESPONDING TO IT, NO CRIME AT ALL!

Double Jeopardy

But NSW injustice minister john hatzistergoose now says Adler will be presented with disciplinary charges shortly and given a chance to plead in front of the governor of Bathurst jail without legal representation.

WHAT A BONUS TOWARDS AN INJUSTICE PACKAGE!

Not a Judge mind you or even a Magistrate he's got to beg the jailer for mercy AFTER HE'S BEEN SET-UP? After he's been victimised and set up on a false and misleading charge. Does someone owe him or what?

Hatzistergoose: "And it does also allow him an opportunity to examine any witnesses the department may call in relation to the issue," he said.

ACTUALLY I'D CALL rOTTEN rON wOODHAM bOB cARR and jOHN hATZIZTERGOOSE!

HOSTILE? MABEE!

He says while there could be withdrawal of privileges any change to his sentence would be up to the Commonwealth.

But only a couple of days ago the daily terror reported it was segregating Adler in a protection wing.

bob carr says the state's prison officers deserve to be congratulated for being on top of Adler's dealings in jail.

But that's rubbish in the highest order and bob carr should hold his head in shame, re-order his prison guards to do their job properly instead of setting upon and setting up prisoners who are disabled by being in custody.

This is a well-planned political attack and at all material times bob carr having complete knowledge that they have Mr Adler in their full control, 24/7.

Therefore bob carr must take full responsibility for his injustice minister. So should his injustice minister stand down, and his cronies in the prison system given better instructions about how to do their job properly - instead of going about bullying and illegally reading other peoples mail to find alleged examples of contraband, just to mess people up, for political pay backs!

bob carr's filibustering to the community about his pre-emptive radical plan should be recognised for what it is, not what he makes it out to be, after all the evidence supplied to (ASIC) was flawed.

To even be tried again by the governor of the prison is an abuse of process and systemic abuse at that. carr says he thought Adler would have learnt his lesson by now and says he is being treated like any other criminal in jail?

Actually I think it's time bob carr learnt his lesson, that you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. And the very reason he comes undone here is that this is a re occurring pattern that his government has used against high profiled prisoners time and time again!

"The message I want to send is that Rodney Adler in the prison system is going to be treated like any street pickpocket," carr said.

"He's not going to get any special attention or privileges, taking account of his previous status as a high flyer in Sydney and I think the system is asserting that."

And that's why the prisoners keep coming back to jail because whilst they are there minding their own business doing their time they are being manipulated to the point of frustration and being negatively reinforced in prison for trying.

Provided Mr Adler is left alone to serve his time he has the skill to get out of the place and never go back. But unlike so many other prisoners who lack those skills they have virtually no chance at all!

Clearly what the evidence 'shows' in this case should set an example, that what the 'system' is asserting is the corrupt power of the State over those held in custody. Whereas the State prison system should at all material times have a duty of care and rehabilitation to prisoners.

Adler punished for being in prison

Was Rodney Adler Set-up in prison by a person or persons unknown?

NSW: Sydney businessman Rodney Adler has been transferred to a higher-security prison as punishment for allegedly attempting to conduct business activities from jail even though people are sent to prison for punishment not to be punished?

But Rodney Adler is most likely being punished by someone else and this is just an excuse made up by the Department of Corrective Services Commissioner, Rotten Ron Woodham. Possibly for and on behalf of another person or persons unknown [politicians, NSW Parliament House.] Someone who resides outside the prison but who has links with the authorities and or Ron Woodham himself who can pull the strings and make the necessary arrangements.

If you ask me it would most likely be a government minister who's pushing the buttons but only an independent enquiry may discover the real facts.

So unless Rotten Ron can point us to the proof and then make that proof public then I wouldn't rush out to buy the departments story!

High profile prisoners in NSW have been mistreated like this now for some time and there is ample evidence of it in numerous cases including that of Ivan Milat and Phuong Ngo.

Where the Norm is Not the Norm: HARM-U

One case in particular that went before the Supreme Court of NSW R v Georgiou, 70317 of 2001, (1 December 2003).

The triviality of the alleged 3 phones he was suppose t have is only half the story - the Department could not factually verify that Georgiou ever had phones in his cell, had never investigated the matter, and had never charged Georgiou for such an offence.

Further, when examined by James J, John Salway for the Department conceded that he was 'not sure' whether the Commissioner had designated Georgiou because he constituted an extreme danger to other people (cl 25 (2)(a)), or because he constituted an extreme threat to good order and security (cl 25 (2)(b)), or both.

However, the Department and the prosecution were not finished -- there was another reason for the designation: 'Yes your Honour. On the basis of risk, perceived risk of escape, for the good order of the institution.'18

Unfortunately for the Department, or rather unfortunately for Konstantinos Georgiou who has now spent more than 16 months in the HRMU, the Department has never classified Georgiou as an escape risk.

Of course, for an E1 or E2 classification to be made pursuant to cl 24 Crimes (Administration of Sentence) Regulation, evidence would need to be tendered -- an unnecessary obstacle to Commissioner Woodham when designating 'high risk' prisoners.

However, as it became obvious to the court that Georgiou's placement was baseless, Mark Phillip Wilson tendered in affidavit:

The Department of Correctional Services says Adler was at one stage caught in such an attempt while pretending to help his children with their homework.

Adler is serving a two-and-a-half year jail term over the collapse of insurance company HIH and has been banned from acting as a company director for the next 20 years.

He was serving the sentence at the Kirkconnell prison camp but has now been moved to Bathurst Correctional Centre.

The Correctional Services Department say they have forwarded a report on his conduct in prison to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions for further investigation.

But Similar claims were made by the Department of Corrective Services that police were going to interview Ivan Milat over some allegation but that never happened all that happened was there was a 'media release'?

So these authorities should forward the same report to an independent person or body to verify the claims they're making and if they don't show proof then they must come clean about what this matter is really about. And whether in fact this complaint was initiated by someone outside the prison.

Most prisoners of the Adler class would not get into any trouble in the prison system unless provoked or incited by the system itself or another less educated prisoner.

But under the guise of "stricter rules" the department had also introduced banning all visitors including children from using the toilet unless they terminate their visit at any NSW prison after using the toilet.

South Aust politicians and police paedophiles in parliament house

SA Govt attempts to truncate parliamentary privilege

The South Australian Government will try to muster support today for its unprecedented legislation to remove parliamentary privilege covering recent paedophile allegations against public officials.

The Government rushed the bill into Parliament after yesterday's resignation of speaker Peter Lewis, whose volunteer staffers have alleged a serving MP, a former MP, and two police officers are paedophiles.

Opposition Leader Rob Kerin says the Government has over-reacted and should immediately withdraw the bill.

He says the Government should take Mr Lewis's word that he will not use parliamentary privilege to name the MP accused of paedophilia?

AND the the two police offenders?

Mr Kerin says the legislation is less about protecting children and more about intimidating the media and critics of the Government.

He says there is no reason to abandon centuries of parliamentary tradition.

"I would hope the Government would pull the bill," he said. "I think the bill was ill-conceived, it's not necessary.

"I don't think there's any real beneficiaries from this, I think it's a knee-jerk reaction from a Government that just didn't handle the pressure of the last few days."

Attorney-General Michael Atkinson will meet the Australian Democrats' state leader, Sandra Kanck, in an bid to win her support in the Upper House.

Mr Atkinson says the Democrats' support is vital.

"It's crucial that the Labor Government obtains the support of the Democrats to get our law through, to put the people who make these allegations in the same position as every other member of the public," he said.

But Ms Kanck says she is still to be convinced that the bill is in the public interest.

Mr Lewis says the bill is unnecessary.

He says he has twice promised not to use parliamentary privilege to name an MP accused of paedophilia and says the Government should take his word.

The independent MP, who effectively handed Labor government, has told said that the proposed legislation has nothing to do with protecting the innocent, and is more a personal attack against him.

"It explicitly sets out to vilify me and anyone who's worked with me - that's an appalling piece of legislation," he said.

New parliamentary Speaker Bob Such says he is unsure whether to vote in favour of the bill.

Dr Such took over from Mr Lewis yesterday and says he needs to weigh up all considerations before deciding.

The independent says there are strong arguments both for and against the bill.

"It is an unusual situation and I can understand the Government wants to protect the names of people who could well be and I'm sure are totally innocent," he said.

"Now once those people are named those people are history."

Former Labor member, now Greens MP Kris Hanna, says the bill is a disgrace.

Mr Hanna is scathing of the legislation proposed by his former colleagues.

"This is part of a pattern developing now with this Government where they will shred principles in order to achieve a short-term practical outcome, and here they are throwing away centuries of free speech accorded to MPs," he said.

REORDERING OF GENERAL BUSINESS

After the Community Protection Act 1994 was struck down by the High Court of Australia Getting Justice Wrong DPP make full admissions then NSW parliament reacted again as follows:

Community Protection (Dangerous Offenders) Bill

Mr RICHARDSON (The Hills) [2.48 p.m.]: I move:
That general business order of the day (for bills) No. 14 have precedence on Thursday, 10 April.

It is urgent that the Community Protection (Dangerous Offenders) Bill be reordered and debated by this House because at this very moment Gregory Wayne Kable is in the Parramatta Family Court seeking to gain access to his children, Brooke and Clarke Kable, aged nine and 11.

[After the High Court of Australia struck down the Community Protection Act 1994.]

Mr Kable wants to see them for two hours four times a year, at the end of school terms, with a view to building up a long-term relationship with them. He also wants to know their new names.

He has completed a 12-week parent training course and has approached the St Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army to ask whether they could supervise the visits.

He says that the children want to see him but that their minds have been poisoned by their guardians. He claims that, far from punishing him, denying access to his children is punishing them.

(Please Note: The rest of Michael Richardson's parliamentary debate is published on the NSW Parliamentary website and not reproduced here for the following reasons...)

Concerning publication of my children’s names by the Member for The Hills in parliamentary debate and now published on the NSW Parliamentary website.

I have asked the NSW Parliament to remove, not only my children's names but the wrong, uncorroborated, and plagiarised information, and the Family Court Application.

Young adults like my two children, ought not be haunted or offended when or if they might decide to search their names on the Internet, and that if they did, that they would not be provided with such offensive and wrong material, for all their friends, relatives, and the general public to search for and see as well.

Dear Ms Rhiannon,

How are you going? I sent this to your email address above and have not received any response to date, so I am forwarding this again to you in the mail.

As I am suing State Parliament for damages, on foot, for false imprisonment and assault, (the case coming up to court on 9 November this year), and as well, I have a conflict of interest with my local member Ms Clover Moore, if you don’t know.

So I was wondering if you could assist me and pass this material to the person who runs the parliament website to have the wrong information removed.

When my daughter Brooke or son Clark type their names in google they get Mr Richardson a Liberal members, wrong information. See link below:

It would appear to the writer that the NSW Parliament website is in breach of S121 of the family Law Act 1975, because at the time the children were minors and certain rules applied, and I would ask if you could assist me with asking that the parliament remove it.

Thanks Regards

Letter From NSW Parliament House

Mr G. Kable
October 2009

Dear Mr Kable.

I refer to your letter dated 8 October 2009, concerning publication of your children’s names by the Member for The Hills in debate. The Hon Lee Rhiannon has also emailed me in relation to this matter.

I acknowledge your concern that the Member named your children in the course of parliamentary debate, and note your advice that the information made public by the Member was probably derived from a Family Court application.

While publication of such information outside of parliamentary proceedings may breach the Federal Family Law Act, speaking in a parliamentary debate Members are able to exercise a freedom of speech which is not constrained by statutory prohibitions.

The basis of this principal is that the law of parliamentary privilege provides absolute immunity to the giving of evidence before the House Committee. As noted in Odgers, it is “a fundamental principle that the law of parliamentary privilege is not affected by a statutory provision unless the provision alters that law by expressed words” [51].

The New South Wales Legislative Assembly Hansard record of debate held in 1997 has been long published, and the circumstances you refer to in your letter unfortunately do not fall within the House procedures which would enable you to make a citizens right of reply.

Yours sincerely
Richard Torbay
Speaker

Re: My Family Court Application on Parliament Website

Dear Mr Torbay,

Thank you for responding to my complaint. I refer to your letter dated October 2009, received on 19 October, concerning the publication of my children’s names on the Parliament website, alongside wrong information, by the Member for the Hills in parliamentary debate.

There is no absolute immunity to the giving of evidence that has been provided by two or more parties on a confidential application to the Family Court of Australia, then plagiarized and given before a House or a committee. That material is confidential.

The basis for this principle in a parliamentary debate about the ‘contents of an application’ to the Family Court of Australia is constrained by statutory provisions. As noted in Odgers, preparation and publication of documents p55, “ the contents of a document which has come into existence independently of proceedings in Parliament, for example, a report or letter which is exchanged between two or more parties and is subsequently submitted to a House or a committee, is not protected by parliamentary privilege. (For an application of this principle, see Szwarcbord v Gallop 2002 167 FLR 262.)”

I once again ask that that wrong confidential material and my children’s names be removed from the parliament website.

This is my final notice, you are hereby given 14 more days to notify the writer that the confidential, offending and unlawful material has been removed, otherwise this material will be forwarded to my lawyer for a further damages claim against NSW. 

Regards

Re: My Family Court Application on Parliament Website

Dear Mr Torbay,

As I have received no response to the final notice I sent to you dated 19 October 2009, to remove from the NSW Parliament Website in 14 days, (my children’s names, the confidential, wrong, uncorroborated, and plagiarised information, from the Family Court Application).

Well since then I spoke to Lucy your secretary by phone on 6 November 2009. She told me that you were seeking legal advice about the complaint by us and that my letter was received in your office on 21 October 2009.

I would have thought that common sense would have prevailed when I pleaded to Parliament to remove the material.

Young adults like my two children, ought not be haunted or offended when or if they might decide to search their names on the Internet, and that if they did, that they would not be provided with such offensive and wrong material, for all their friends, relatives, and the general public to search for and see as well.

It is with regret that I must inform you that the matter has now been filed in the Supreme Court of NSW at Sydney. Please see Notice of Status Conference attached for your perusal.

I will be seeking a writ that commands the performance of an act required by law. In this instance the removal of the offensive material as above stated. We will also be seeking costs and damages.

My instructions are not to serve the filed documents until February 2010 at the latest on the basis that Lucy said that you were seeking legal advice and that you would get back to me about it.

So thanks for that and I guess I will either hear from you or not by the time the matter is due for service late February. We would be pleased if you would just have Parliament remove the material and that the matter including costs could be resolved.

Regards
Gregory Kable
12 December 2009

Please Note: Subsequently no further communication was sent by the NSW Parliamentary Speaker Mr Richard Torbay in relation to his alleged legal advice and the litigation was discontinued by myself on the 4th of March 2010 because I was unable to get legal assistance.
