Killer James Ramage using an alias while on parole

MILLIONAIRE wife-killer James Ramage will be forced to explain at a hearing why he's been using an alias since being released on parole. 

The Sunday Herald Sun can reveal the Adult Parole Board will hold a hearing late this week to determine if Ramage breached conditions of his release.

The board was informed that Ramage has been using the name James Stuart at Dimmeys, where he works in the head office.

The parole board has obtained emails that allegedly show Ramage's new moniker.

If Ramage has breached his bail conditions he could go back to jail to serve out the remaining two years of his term.

Ramage was released from prison last year after serving his minimum eight years for killing his wife Julie in 2003.

He beat a murder charge after his lawyers successfully argued Ramage had been provoked by his wife. The provocation defence has since been scrapped after widespread outrage.

Ramage admitted that he had strangled the mother of his two children after he had bashed her at their family home.

He then buried her in a shallow grave near Kinglake.

Ramage - whose middle name is Stuart - is prevented from changing his name without the parole board's permission.

The Sunday Herald Sun revealed last week that Ramage made inquires to change his name in March but was yet to submit a formal application.

Parole Board general manager David Provan said it was made "very clear" to Ramage that he would be in breach of his parole conditions if he changed his name without permission.

Mr Provan said the board would consider all evidence presented to it in terms of Ramage's failure to comply and a hearing would be scheduled late this week.

"If the board determines there has been a serious breach and if there has been a failure to comply with core conditions, (the board can) return a person to custody," he said.

A year after being freed from prison, Ramage is back living the high life he once enjoyed as a wealthy Melbourne businessman.

He is now driving around in a Porsche convertible and scored a high-ranking role at Dimmeys head office.
Ramage has also found love again and has moved in with a woman who has children of her own.

The Dimmeys Facebook page issued a statement denying Ramage worked for the company. But many took to the site labelling the claims a "lie".

The Sunday Herald Sun emailed Ramage on a Dimmeys email account but has received no response.
Phone calls were made to the head office but Ramage did not return calls.

Employees said that Ramage's role is like a "boss".

"Everybody knows he runs the place," an employee said.

Dimmeys legal compliance officer Ken Hampson declined to comment.

Corporate and government lies all rolled into one.

The government's propaganda is that they are against criminal activity, whereas actions speak louder than government lies.

Criminals are let out into the community to re-offend.

The best time to pursue a criminal career is now, as there is not a policy to incarcerate, as this costs the government too much.

It is a more financial beneficial action to release criminals into the community, where only the masses are effected, and not the ruling elite.
