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?

Lauer tells court. Former NSW police commissioner Tony Lauer told the Supreme Court on February 7, 2002, corruption had not only existed at a high level within the police force, but also in different governments.

In the witness box at his damages case against John Fairfax Publications Pty Ltd and former police board member Gary Sturgess, Mr Lauer said corruption had ``involved the government of both political views". He said he was supported in that view by the Lusher report a judicial inquiry which in 1981 reported.

In support of a Police Board, Lusher (p 785)states;

"...a compelling consideration pointing towards a Board is that the task of administrating and directing a police force of this size and also to implement the necessary changes...is likely to be beyond the capacity of one man. (sic)"

"The introduction of a Board would open the way for appropriate management and administration skills to be brought to bear on the decision making process within the organisation."

"...it should be possible in some form to leave the administrative responsibilities with the Board and at the same time preserve the traditional position and independence of the Commissioner as well as individual police in decisions relating to law enforcement."

(P 788) "...the Commissioner of Police should, subject to the direction of the Minister, be responsible to the Minister for the superintendence of the Police Force in the sense of its operational command and have the further function of implementing within the Force and complying with the policies of the Board of which he (sic) is a member."

"...the Commissioner in substance, would be in no greatly different position in principle than he is now in implementing government or ministerial policies: indeed he would have the additional advantage of having taken part in their formulation as a Board Member."

Lusher's report. Lusher (p 792) recommended;

"The Board or its nominees should have power to enter into and upon any police premises at any time to call for and inspect all or any police records, documents, files etc and to question and seek information from any member of the Police Force. It should be the obligation of all members of the Police Force to give all assistance and cooperation to the Board or any members thereof or its nominees."

The Concepts of Police Independence and Accountability

A common objection to the notion of Police Boards expressed by Police Commissioners (and others opposed to the concept) is the perception they pose a threat to police independence and the commonly held ideal that police should be accountable to the law only. However this argument in reality has little force because, as Lawson (p 27) accurately notes, the police mandate is ill defined and there is no clear definition of police accountability.

Byrett (1994 p 39) in a discussion on the role of police in a democracy and their relationship with Government, encapsulates the vexed policy considerations surrounding the idea of police independence;

"...the purpose of the police suggests the necessity for sworn officers...to be able to carry out their duties individually and in an unbiased manner. This policy requirement, however, has to exist within the constraints of the liberal democratic model.There is an element of contradiction in such a notion.

The principle requirement of a liberal democracy is supremacy of Parliament; the right of Parliament as a body of elected representatives of the people to control all functions of the state. In so far as the police is concerned the ideal is to permit sufficient autonomy to preserve credibility " Essentially then, any consideration of police independence and accountability must consider the competing and conflicting objectives that, on the one hand, those who apply the law should be able to impartially exercise their authority free from political interference and on the other, the idea that the police, just like any other large public body, be accountable directly to the Government of the day.

Byrett (p 43) points out that Lord Denning's judgement in R V Metropolitan Police Commissioner; Ex Parte Blackburn [1968] 2 QB 118, is often quoted by proponents of a strict notion of police independence as a "...a Bible..." As Byrett notes, Denning is quoted "...in virtually all legal writing on police..." so it is worth reproducing the main passage of his judgement at length;

"I have no hesitation in holding that, like every constable in the land, he [the Police Commissioner] should be, and is, independent of the executive. He is not subject to the orders of the Secretary of State, save that under the Police Act 1964, the Secretary of State can call upon him to give a report, or to retire in the interests of efficiency.

I hold it to be the duty of the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, as it is of every chief constable, to enforce the law of the land. He must take steps so to post his men that crimes may be detected; and that honest citizens may go about their affairs in peace. he must decide whether or not suspected persons are to be prosecuted; and, if need be, bring the prosecution or see that it is brought.

But in all these things he is not the servant of anyone, save the law itself. No Minister of the Crown can tell him that he must, or must not, keep observation on this place or that; or that he must, or must not, prosecute this man or that one.

Nor can any police authority tell his so. The responsibility for law enforcement lies on him. He is answerable to the law and the law alone." ([1968] 2 QB 118, 135-136)

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).

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'.

John Scullion from the Prison Officers Association says, "Jail terms of prisoners convicted of assaulting guards are rarely extended, as most are given concurrent sentences". In an article in the ABC news Wed, 17 April 02 "It may require special legislation, so an approach is being made to Attorney-General Bob Debus to see if it requires legislation and if so, can they do it?" he said.

The Carr Government went further as saboteurs. Carr rallied Whelan, Costa, Debus and now Richard Amery ex policeman as Minister of Corrective Services to succeed the coat hanger into black. "We do Gods work when God forgets say the police." blue shirts? Or black shirts?

Carr's labor caucus drags Ron Woodham in as Commissioner of Corrective Services a person with a very bad history of corruption i.e.: bashing prisoners on behalf of the government and getting off because why? You guessed it. The Government rolled the legal system.

Woodham couldn't take responsibility for the governments directives. Debus secures Attorney General with a history of discrepancies within his previous portfolio as Prisons Minister to help draft the legislation into the black.

Woodham, Carr's prisons bend over the line man just like Clive Small the police bend over the line man gets the job done corruptly.

The importance of the Separation of Powers Doctrine is just as important between the Police Service and the Department of Corrective Services.

To highlight this fact then perhaps we need to change the colours of their shirts. Black is contaminated Blue is Police what colour would you like to see Prison Officer's dressed in?

When people go missing between the police and the prison services. When there are riots or prisoners and prison officers are being bashed. When deaths in custody rise or when high profile prisoners suddenly die in special circumstances after they are released and have served their time then Satin is in on it doing Gods so called work.

Chronology - A History of Australian Prisons
[Allegedly:] The events that have shaped NSW prisons - from convict days through royal commissions, to the Supermax of today. [I say allegedly because no one should trust Four Corners [Walls], why? Because they spill out the propaganda of the day for the Government, whether it be wrong or right. A government that lies and has no remorse about it.]

Robin Egan

Michael Egan want's to rob the poor and give it to the Government.

Two thirds of fines are never collected because they go beyond the means of the defendants and because in lots of cases people do not see that they are responsible. Especially where people know their in the right and no fine ought to have been a penalty.

Being set up on the trifecta for instance, abusive language, resist arrest, and assault police. Where base charges are not proven but nonsense charges are held. Where you're busted for a joint or small amount of illicit drug floating around in your pocket from a late night out.

Traffic offenses when you know you are in the right but through some fluke of nature you're held responsible but the traffic branch won't listen to your reason.

What about good will when some of the poor cannot pay and sometimes they can, then you could way up the fact that you get one third and have allot of good will. Good will, always receiving one third in three. You know what they say; "a bird in the hand is worth three in the bush".

You can always line up wheel chairs for the brain injured like what happened to Jamie Partlick before fine defaulters were taken away from NSW Prisons after he was bashed for being there.

Michael Egan's new formula as follows:

Subtracted from 3 thirds the total of claims. 1. Payments, 2. Good will 3. Bankrupts, and 4. Mistakes then you end up with all the money you were due.

Then you may lead by example and pay all the unpaid compensation claims you have held back from the respondents in their civil claims against the Government left lingering until the respondents are too sick to enjoy it or deceased.

Honesty

One day someone asked me whom I would prefer? An honest person? Or a person who tells the truth? I said it's the same isn't it?

Mr Costa doesn't seem to think so, ABC Mon 15 April 02. "Costa says all political leaders have avoided this in the past". Costa was honest but he didn't tell the whole truth so help me Universe.

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.

Like Clive Small's Contempt of Parliament. Behaviour that is not honestly true but partially true. Costa says that he relies on the Crown Solicitors advice. So check with the Crown Solicitor's advise on the other respective categories and then weigh up the pro's and con's in relation to how your peers, friends, and children may judge your good self and the example you will set for the whole community. Leader.

So now your lesson is to address the Parliament, Police, Court, Tribunal, or the Commission with half the truth or lies so that the consequences are better? Wrong. We just made it ten times harder to achieve our goals. You won't see the inflation straight away but it will present again when someone else is affected. So instead of catching the virus early there is ten more cases. For what? Why? Who owns the problem? Costa. Why do we need the problem?

So why should anyone tell the truth honestly? Bad lesson for today. So if you mislead Parliament then all the other issues that were waiting to be dealt with are held up and now someone else owns the problem because of your contempt. That is until you wind everyone else up to solve it and like a bouncing ball it comes bouncing back to you.

Standing over someone is the same as stalking, something I have been complaining about for some time, no wonder.

Make us safe Bob Carr. Mm!

You have to have the inside story when the likes of the Daily Telegraph again pushing the propaganda, the alleged choice between acting Commissioner Ken Moroney and Small. Carr want's people who are totally corrupt working along side him. His idea? To corrupt our government policies. Nice bribe with Ryan in fact I am sure that bribing a police officer carries a reasonable sentence in itself.

How about mandatory sentences for corrupt politicians? Those who have a greater onus to uphold the law and set an example for the wider community. Those who know better in terms of their education. That is except when it comes to greed. SMH April 12 2002 Stephen Gibbs reports "Then as we came into the Olympics something went wrong. And I do not know what that was". Says Doctor Weatherburn. That period leading up to the 2000 Games is the time Mr Ryan has been accused of "taking his eye off the ball" in areas including Cabramatta and other suburbs in Sydney's south-west.

The opinion from Mr. Tim Priest and the Police Board is that dangerous people still lurk at the top of the Police Service. The NSW Opposition pushed for the former policeman's reinstatement because of new allegations of drugs and gang activities in schools in Sydney's south-west.

Shadow Police Minister Andrew Tink says when Priest last year aired allegations of gangs recruiting school students to the drug trade, they were dismissed, SMH 25 March 2002. Priest knows who the dangerous police are. Then why has nothing been done except for lining them up for the top job.

Questions like. Who was pushing the green light on heroin? Even after and no doubt throughout the Royal Commission into Police Corruption. How does all this reflect on Justice James Wood? Should Justice Wood himself become the new Police Commissioner?

Most people I know don't buy the Daily Telegraph. Why? Because of the lies and propaganda purported by them.

The story goes that they bend over and Cop-it off the Police Service. If they don't they don't get all the stories first hand. Nor do they get work (advertising) off the Government unless they produce lies and propaganda as well.

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.

I picked up your Saturday edition 6 April 2002 while sitting on a park bench.There it was a racist article in relation to a list of so called ethnic (labels) gangs in our schools. But I didn't see the Loser Gang the agents who sell heroin and guns and employ youths and children in our schools. I did not see anything in relation to the fact that the Police Service Green light these bikies and in fact work with them off duty.

Perhaps if you want to give out Blue Ribbons to police who die in the line of duty then tell us why the constable was driving in an unmarked Police vehicle. Then you can go on and hand out Red Ribbons to the fireman who died in the line of duty. Then you can hand out Crimson Ribbons to all the Children who died because the Police Service sold them heroin in the line of their Survival.

What about Purple Ribbons to all the Garbage collectors who are nocked down and killed by motorists in the line of their work. What about Green Ribbons to all those Prisoners set up incarcerated and killed in the line of their Survival.You can go on to hand out Black Ribbons to all those people Murdered by Police and Civilians alike.

Only then can you tie a Yellow Ribbon around the Old Oak Tree.

Then we wont end up with another hit squad purported to be required because of the so-called alarming guns culture.

Police who will spend there time stalking innocent citizens instead of policing. I might add what about real police work. Perhaps they could take over and thoroughly investigate unsolved murders.

The Seed

Respect, you only get out what you have put in. What about Life Skills, Communication and Conflict Resolution. Evolution, perhaps some children and adults miss the whole or part of the course. I did, and so how surprised do you think I was when I realised my parents missed the course as well. Things like Compromise, Win Win, Empathy, and Love. Invisible energy and other skills like public speaking, how to Relate, Assuming, Blaming, Forgiveness, Freedom and Discrimination. This is how I learned respect. If you don't know what it is then how do you relate?

I ran into a friend he was about 60 years of age and I asked Egor a Russian Scientist. "Why do we learn and then die? " He said you have to pass it on.

So Grasshopper, how do we plant this seed so that the bin (jail) is a school of life? a University to teach life skills. Instead of emptying out the rubbish in the bin we turn out compost and fertiliser to promote growth. Nurturers.

How do we create unless we Nurture Nature. Like cradling a baby in your arms the very same cradle swings below us when we care for all living things.

I described an injustice to Barbara an elderly lady I met at a Justice Action meeting. I said, "This is not the Australian way ". Barbara said, " Well I think it is". I went numb thinking well I did not want to hear her negative conformation.

I still wanted to believe after all I have been through and all I have done that there is an Australian way and that the majority was good. I asked her when was a conscience born? She said, "When babies can focus their eyes."

I am still learning because I was told conscience was born when our mothers smacked us about the time we threw our bottles down from the high chair. Barbara had the better idea because no violence or threat is induced to form her view.

We cannot defeat evil. We can only balance it hopefully by the greater good. Why? Because people, (human beings) only learn from trial and error. By making a mistake the thing we call evil. Like falling off a mountain some people break their arm and some people break their neck. The severity is a matter of the circumstances around the fall.

So do we punish everyone equally for his or her first error? No, we deal out just desert in relation to the severity of the crime and the enthusiasm of the crowd (the populist view) then we throw them in the bin. Human beings are not dogmatic yet we take away their ability to learn after they make their first mistake.

I asked Mr Tze a Chinese Triad I use to play chess with I said "Mr Tze how do I defend myself?" He said, " Do not strike." Why? He said, " you will Always underestimate your opponent." "If you project anger you will always get angry people in your life if you project happiness you will get happy people in your life. So dont scare just take two steps back." I know too that the cat always scratches back.

I met Jimmy doing 30 years because he was made an example of 30 years ago. Jimmy told me a myth. Once upon a time this little boy went walking up the cobblestone road where he met a man. The man said "Son go home and cut out your mothers heart and I will give you treasure." So the little boy went home and cut out his mothers heart and went racing up the road holding his mothers heart in his hand. The little boy slipped over grazing his knees on the cobblestones. Just then his mothers heart spoke to him saying, " dont worry son it will be alright". The moral to the story?

Your mother and father will always love you. It doesn't matter if you did not have the skills. It doesn't matter if you were a drunk. It doesn't matter if you were a junky. It doesn't matter if you were disabled. It doesn't matter if you suffered a mental illness. It doesn't matter if you are discriminated against or marginalized. It doesn't matter if people don't forgive you for your first mistake.

$500 thousand dollars of taxpayers money was spent on me in the Special Care Unit (SCU) at Long Bay Prison Complex for six months to learn from the best teachers in the world. As well as to learn from my own experience and my peers and my friends.

I majored in humanities in the University of hard knocks. Psychology, Psychiatry, Forensic Psychiatry, Criminology, Parent Effectiveness Training, Life Skills, Conflict Resolution, Communication, Musicianship, and Law. Most people in jail never saw light of day of that unit or anything like it only because I was bright enough to challenge the systems ideology. Then why is it I am not regarded by the authorities or some beauracrats and agencies when I make a comment? Same flawed system decided you're worthless and broken. Spoilt and disposable because I made a mistake once.

What can we make out of him? A Goose? A Pawn in an Election Campaign? A Monster? Dangerous? Or just plane Bad? A law for one man perhaps? Or lets just spend $500.000 and trip him over again while he is not looking? If the taxpayers of this state worked out how much money the government spent on my good self so far it would be in the tens of thousands. Possible more than a million dollars.

Now I would like you to help me plant the seed. A human being is priceless and unique. The money has to be spent on education not on bins. That education can be provided without maximum security at a reasonable cost. Medium Secure Education and life skills will help our children grow. Leaving the State and Country less inflation like trying to teach doctors how to communicate with their patients years after they learnt how to be doctors.

Now! Who is bad?

CRC funded reports 1983-1984

Evaluation of the special care unit (at Long Bay Gaol, New South Wales)

Grantees: Dr D W Porritt, Research and Statistics Division, NSW Department of Corrective Services

Criminology Research Council grant ; (8/85)

The Special Care Unit (SCU) is a 20-bed self-contained unit within the NSW Department of Corrective Services which opened on 1 January 1980. It has a short-term goal of assisting inmates with behavioural/psychological problems to adapt to the prison environment and a long-term goal to facilitate their rehabilitation back into society. The research was designed to evaluate the short-term goal, and to provide feedback on staff and prisoner perceptions of the benefits and/or problems of the unit.

A total of 140 inmates were interviewed either at entry to the unit, at exit or at three month follow-up, as well as 24 inmates in a comparison group. Several psychological tests were also administered including the Interpersonal Behaviour Survey, Jessness Behaviour Checklist, Lovibond's Self Analysis Questionnaire and Spielberger's Tait Anxiety Scale. Interview results revealed that inmates had learnt to overcome initial apprehension about therapy groups with prison officers and were able to discuss themselves and their problems openly with most staff (including prison officers). They reported heightened self awareness and an improved ability to relate to other inmates and prison officers after leaving the unit. The results of psychometric tests showed statistically significant differences between groups but these did not have any clear interpretation.

Data were also analysed for a total of 45 questionnaires and 28 interviews from staff who had worked in the unit between April 1984 and June 1986. Staff reported enhancing their skills in working with inmates and particularly in dealing with angry or distressed prisoners.

More generally, other benefits and/or problems were reported by both staff and prisoners. The reported benefits appeared to derive from the unique environment created in the SCU when compared to the main gaol system. For instance, the high degree of mixed staffing was rated as having a 'positive effect on inmates' by 70 per cent of the staff, and none said that this had a negative effect. Some staff also reported that they felt that working in the SCU improved their prospects for promotion and improved their interpersonal and communication skills. Some staff also said it improved their communication with their families. Inmates said that the unit offered them better conditions than the main gaol system (for example, more visits and phone calls, opportunity to wear their own clothes) and claimed that they enjoyed greater freedom in the unit.

Some of the problems mentioned by staff were difficulties adjusting to the unit, the location of the unit inside the walls of a larger prison, the selection of staff and inmates not being stringent enough, and lack of training resources for staff. Staff also mentioned that they felt inmates should be provided with more support after leaving the unit. Some of the inmates said that they found it difficult to make the transition from the unit back to main gaol and would have liked more support. A few inmates mentioned that they felt the SCU program itself was very hard for them, because they found group counselling too confronting or they felt uncomfortable talking openly in a group. Many of the inmates who had these difficulties did not complete their stay in the unit. More generally, a high non-completion rate was a continuing problem for the unit with a non-completion rate of 48 per cent for the period of this evaluation. Many inmates were expelled from the unit for non-work or drug use.

In short, the research provides some support for the conclusion that the SCU achieved its short-term goals; to enhance the ability of troubled prisoners to cope with the gaol environment through improved staff-to-prisoner and prisoner-to-prisoner relations.

The report makes recommendations based on the research findings to:

improve on the number of inmates who complete the program;
help inmates with stress imposed by the program;
support inmates and staff leaving the unit;
enhance the network of available programs;
implement a procedure to provide feedback on post-exit functioning of inmates;
provide a standardised assessment for staff in the unit; and
implement performance indicators for the unit.

Dangerous

I refer to the Daily Telegraph article 22 March 2002 under the heading Priest quits advisory job.

Firstly, MP Reba Meagher was not telling the truth on behalf of the Citizens of NSW. People readily employed by Bob Carr in areas where corruption flourishes is alarming. With the likes of Clive Small (alleged adviser on police corruption at Cabramatta) and the Ombudsman Bruce Barbour taking no action on behalf of the citizens and the list goes on.

Even if Meagher was not prepared to give us the correct information giving us a false and misleading state of affairs in order to protect Bob Carrs image means that citizens have to jump hurdles in order to achieve their goals. Not to mention grave fears from police themselves and a loss of confidents and trust in our Police Service, that's not fair.

I refer to Priests statement which causes me especial distress "no doubt he had made some dangerous and considerable enemies in the last two years." And goes on to say "Yes, that's weighed heavily on my mind that those people are still in senior positions in the police and at the end of the day, I don't have to cope with that anymore and I don't want to."

I note that within the article the journalist failed to comment on the statement made by Priest.

I have been terrified of these people for 5 years and now permanently terrified. I cannot walk away like Tim Priest. Just doing my weekly shopping or going to work gives me fears of who is stalking me on behalf of the police service.

The fact that the democratic process allows for the naming and dismissal of dangerous persons in government then dangerous Police in senior positions ought to be named and sacked.

If the Police Board cannot support Commissioner Ryan who can?

Peter Ryan has lost his captains hat and his convict ship has collided with an offshore oilrig throwing him off coarse with no justice into a hurricane. With his cannons flung overboard prisoners escaping to higher ground of crew lost leaving him spluttering to the depths below.

Ryans sweet lip parties are over, with little left, but a rusty old revolver rotting boots and broken handcuffs and a corroded old badge.

SMH March 25, Mr Costa admitted the "ball was dropped a Cabramatta" when the Government warnings in February last year by the then detective- sergeant Tim Priest that ethnic gangs were recruiting members in schools and would " tear the city apart"

Well let me tell you the bikies are the recruitment agencies and the corrupt police are behind the bikies.

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.

Good Cop
Why have our democratic institutions broken down? It's not just the criminal justice system. The Anti-Corruption Network webmaster@anti-corruption-network.org exposes the same issues. A group of white-collar workers who say they have suffered as follows:

Partners in crime - history!
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).

Like Ms Rebecca Bernauer murdered before she could give evidence against police and like all the youths that died of a heroin overdose after police sold heroin for a slimy mackeral. .

People who can prove that there has been an attempt on their life by the NSW Police Service and the bikies. Those who are still alive to prove it ought to be given the right to prove it before their taken away at the hands of the government.

The evidence my friends you have received by fax but not completely investigated by those who refuse to have it done. Directives issued to our democratic agencies and institutions by the government who veto complaints. Complaints that have either been interfered with or directed not to be looked at.

For instance who is going not only to check the vehicle registration numbers and be trusted to do so? The perpetrators? I do not think so.

Our political leaders are all messed up because they do not see equality as omnipotent when they make decisions for all of us. In other words they are not in the Same Boat.

Bob Carr, if you are in the same boat go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go and do not collect $200.

Throwing people on the scrap heap because of your own policies that do not work. First you want a taxpayer and when that fails you want a garbage bin (jail) for our young and old alike. How about a new policy? What you see is what you get.

Try leading by example and answer the allegations I put to you.

1. How many NSW Citizens, who have stood in the way of your political agenda did you murder?

2. How many times did your police-bikies and militia repeatedly assault NSW citizens?

3. How many times did you convict innocent NSW Citizens?

4. How many times did you set up NSW Citizens for crimes they never committed?

False medical reporting.

HealthQuest and the Medical Appeals Panel involvement in false medical reporting.

NSW Workcover Authority fails to prosecute workplace bullies.

The ICAC and the Ombudsman do nothing.

Who is going to adjudicate between the Government and the people?We should be alarmed. Governments promoting people into high places who have acted corruptly but not prosecuted because these people cannot take responsibility for the Governments Directives. The Government then promotes those who will cross-over the line by stealth.

Within the NSW Prison System I had the opportunity to be entitled to a visit by the Official Visitor. (A good cop). Thinking this person can help me in some way.

I was wrong. Our given agencies and democratic institutions like Tribunals, Commissions, Ombudsman, ICAC, HREOC, government arms etc, have all been bought out and are merely giving government our strategies to use against our helpless situations. These people my friends, are the good cops.

I thought some time ago these agencies were an insurance policy for protecting politicians. Staling until those people were out of office. Then after you have proved your case with prime evidence, say could be three years or more. Suddenly it is explained there is no utility or funding and the person does not work there any more.

They are protecting the bad cops. We are not being served as Michael Costa describes. We my friends are being forced. And some of us deliberately provoked.

We fund them with our taxes and they do not serve as the public expects. Nor do they showcase our claims of maladministration by government departments, if in fact it does not serve the governments political agenda or hip pocket nerve.
