No Victorian Constiution Act

Here is evidence through an official letter from Foreign and Commonwealth Office, that NO Victorian Constitution act was passed.

This means NO ROYAL ASSENT for Victoria Australia.

See attached photo:

The relevant information from the letter is as follows:

1 September 1994

Please refer to your letter of 12 July asking for assistance in tracking down a copy of the Victoria Constitution Bill of 1854 bearing Queen Victoria's royal assent.

I have examined the copy of the bill deposited by the Colonial Office in the Public Record Office, but regret that in common with all the other bills in the volume, it does not have a royal signature. A photocopy of the final page with the signatures of the Speaker and Clerk of the Legislative Council and the Lieutenant Governor is enclosed.

I have consulted the House of Lords Records Office where copies of United Kingdom acts bearing the royal assent are held but they do not have any acts of the Victorian legislature. There was no Victoria Constitution Act passed by the British parliament in 1854.

Yours Sincerely

NSW speed cameras could be cut

Nine speed cameras in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong could come down following an audit of cameras across NSW.

The state's second annual speed camera review found that five fixed speed cameras and four red light speed cameras were "not working as well as they should".

They've have been earmarked for further investigation.

Roads Minister Duncan Gay says he's committed to using speed cameras only where they would improve road safety.

"I reject that speed cameras are about revenue raising," he said in a statement on Monday.

"In the five years before each of NSW's fixed speed cameras were installed, there were 3959 crashes at their locations, resulting in 61 fatalities and 2124 injuries.

"In the last five years, there have been 2460 crashes resulting in six fatalities and 1340 injuries."
On average, he said, fewer than one in 100 motorists who passed a speed camera were booked for speeding.

The cameras earmarked for further review are at Rankin Park, Sandgate, Ashfield, Bankstown, Fairfield East, Lambton, Mascot, Moore Park and Wollongong.

A more detailed review, due to be completed by February next year, will involve field inspections, crash analysis and community consultation, and could result in the cameras being removed or relocated.

Speed cameras are factually unlawful.

Every single person should contest their 'infringement notice', in the (unlawful) courts.

Corpau will be publishing the intricacies ofthis information in the near future.

The government's prime concern is the revenue raised by the speed cameras and NOT the safety of the public as 'touted'.

Another lie perpetuated by government.

Statistics have been falsified to justift 'speed camera' use.

This information has been aired on New South Wales radio by a whistle blower police officer.

Vic officer thought 'life under threat'

An officer who shot dead a Melbourne driver during a routine traffic stop had been threatened with a flick knife, police say.

Senior police have defended the highway patrol officer's actions, saying he felt he had no choice but to open fire.

Meanwhile, Vlado Micetic's family say they are considering legal action, the Nine Network reported.
"The family wants some answers as to why it happened and how it happened," relative Skender Dardovski said.

Mr Micetic's sister, who described him as "beautiful, very talented, very smart", also questioned the officer's actions.

"It should have never happened. He didn't deserve to go like this," Mira Micetic said.

"They could have resolved it in a different way."

The senior constable, who was working alone, fired three shots at close range and killed the 44-year-old man on Sunday night.

Mr Micetic had been pulled over in the city's inner south because the car he was driving had suspected stolen number plates.

Police say the officer was trying to arrest Mr Micetic in Windsor about 10.40pm (AEST) when he allegedly pulled out the knife.

Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius says the officer then fired his gun to defend himself.
"Our officer believed that his life was in immediate threat," he said.

"It's a terrible decision to have to make."

At the scene earlier, he said the officer was experienced and respected by his colleagues.
"He certainly knew what he was doing."

A woman who was in the car when Mr Micetic was shot on Union Street has fled and police want to track her down.

Nearby resident Helen Jones said she heard the gunfire while walking her dogs.

"It was just three shots. Bang, bang bang. Like that," she said.

Police Association secretary Greg Davies said any police shooting is a tragedy for all involved.

"Regardless of the justification, that man's got to live with that for the rest of his life," he said.

But the decision by police to publicly back the officer drew criticism from justice advocates.

Michelle McDonnell, spokeswoman for Federation of Community Legal Centres, said such comments contravene the force's own guidelines to not pre-judge the outcome of an investigation.

"The police officer may have acted entirely appropriately, but it's up to the coroner to make that outcome further down the track," she said.

Mr Cornelius denied he had prejudged the outcome, saying the conclusions police draw will be tested at the inquest and he had a duty to his officers.

"Bottom line is, my members need to know that they're supported."

It has been three years since the last fatal Victoria Police shooting.

Homicide detectives and officers from the internal professional standards command are heading up the latest investigation.

The officer's unmarked patrol car's dashboard camera may have captured the incident and there may be CCTV footage from nearby businesses.

Another lie and cover up by senior police and the police officer involved.

'Excessive force' (by the police) is in play here.

The police officer could have fired one shot in the legs to incapacitate the 'offender'.

Victoria is truly a 'police state'.

Cop sexually assaulted junior, court told

A semi-naked senior police officer got into bed with a sleeping junior colleague and sexually assaulted her after a work party, his trial has heard.

 The female officer says she woke up to find her pyjama pants were gone and her colleague, Timothy Snow, beside her with a "grin on his face" during a night away in February 2011, the District Court in Sydney heard on Monday.

Snow, a sergeant in the NSW police force at the time, has pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent.

He also pleaded not guilty to an alternative charge of indecent assault.

On the opening day of his trial, the court heard Snow's alleged victim, who can't be named for legal reasons, had a good working relationship with him and considered him her friend.

However, at a farewell dinner for colleagues, she alleged he twice placed his hand on her thigh under the table against her wishes, leaving her "upset and embarrassed", crown prosecutor Frank Veltro said.

Later that evening, the group went back to a western Sydney apartment that had been rented for the occasion.

While there, the alleged victim vomited and took a sleeping tablet before she was later seen lying on the couch with her feet on Snow's lap.

He then walked her to the bedroom she was sharing with a female colleague.

Mr Veltro said the colleague heard the couple kissing and Snow say "I love you", before the victim said "You can't" and Snow left the room.

But the colleague later woke to see Snow - wearing just his boxer shorts - slipping into bed beside the alleged victim, causing the colleague to leave the room.

The alleged victim woke up to find her pyjama pants gone and Snow rubbing her genitalia, before she got out of bed and left the room, Mr Veltro said.

Later that day, she phoned Snow and asked if he did anything else to her, the court heard. He replied he hadn't.

"The accused in this case had no basis or grounds to believe she was consenting, not only because she was asleep, but because he was aware of the amount of alcohol she had drunk and he was aware she had taken a sleeping tablet," Mr Veltro said.

But defence barrister Raymond Hood said there was "a degree of inconsistency and unreliability as far as the complainant is concerned".

He questioned why she would lie on the couch beside Snow after he had allegedly made unwanted advances.

He said the jury would hear evidence she also had her head on Snow's lap at one point while he stroked her hair.

Mr Hood said an incident did take place in the woman's bed that night.

"But this lady well knew what was taking place at that particular time and she was consenting to what was taking place," he said.

The trial continues before Judge Brian Knox.

Corrupt cops beat driver

Victorian cops are in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

There is an internal joke that goes around as to which state holds the most corrupt coppers, whether it be Victoria, New South Wales or Queensland.

There is one thing for sure, and that is that Victoria holds the most shootings by the police force.

Corruption in politics and within the police force is the bane of society.

In Melbourne's north west, the municipality of Brimbank is considered as the most corrupt 'city council' to such an extent that over the years, there has been a complete change in office more than once.

Politicians are not the only corrupt ones in power.

As the old saying goes "Knowledge is power" (Francis Bacon).

One of the primary objectives of any authority is to keep the plebs in the dark and uneducated.

This also holds true of the Australia government, with its army the police 'force'.

As recently as the 21st of June 2013, the corporate media reported that Police power to stop cars under threat, a fact that has been known to the establishment for generations, but only has now been reported.

Corpau has followed up this article with lawful information that states that the police have NO RIGHT to stop you, under the article No need to stop for police.

This information does not sit well with authorities as Australia is literally a 'nanny state' or rather a police state.

In response to this certain members of the police 'force' still try to exercise their 'force' in many cases with assault.

Corpau has been informed of an attack on a driver, by police from the area of Melbourne's 'City of Brimbank', with the names of the officers involved.

In the darkness of night, with the illusion that no one is watching, police beat up a driver for not stopping, even though the driver was in the process of serving the notice to the officer.

What the police were unaware of is that the premises that the driver was stopped at had a concealed camera.

Victorian police also have dashboard cameras that upload live data.

The police 'force', kidnapped the person (alleged offender), holding the person against their will, falsely imprisoning the person, finger printing them among other unlawful acts.

The police officers did all this in full acknowledgement to the 'alleged offender' of their common law rights which they violated.

The person in question has every right to charge the persons responsible and sue the state and police.

Another unlawful act committed by corrupt coppers.

Now, let the cover up begin.

Pharmacy Guild secret deal criticised by the AMA and The Greens

THE Pharmacy Guild is trying to strongarm the major parties to prop up chemist profits at the expense of consumers by pushing for a secret deal before polling day. 

 
The leaders of the major parties have been given a letter, drafted for them by the Guild, that would commit them to preserving a pharmacy monopoly.

It comes as price disclosure has revealed chemists have been paid 80 per cent more than the market price for generic medicines, costing the taxpayer and consumers billions of dollars a year.

Consumer groups are warning the major parties not to sign the Guild's letter while an audit is underway into pharmacy remuneration.

"It's just plain irresponsible for the major parties to sign up to a betrayal of voters on the eve of the election," AMA president Steve Hambelton (pictured) said.

Chemists profiting from PBS

Chemists seeking greater profits

Price cut on popular pharmacy drugs

The Guild confirmed the existence of the letters and said the major parties have both signed similar letters in the last four election campaigns.

A letter, drafted by the Guild, awaiting Kevin Rudd's signature has been obtained by News Corporation.

It would commit Mr Rudd to ensure that only a pharmacists could own a pharmacy.

It would prevent supermarkets opening pharmacies even if they were owned by a chemist and preserve existing anti-competitive rules that prevent a new chemist opening within 1.5 kilometres of an existing chemist.

The Audit office is currently investigating whether the current $15.4 billion five year agreement that sets out the fees the government pays for pharmacy services is value for money.

Before the audit reports the Guild wants the major parties to sign up to another five year agreement from 2015.

A spokesman for the Guild confirmed the existence of the letters and said leaders that did not sign them would be "disadvantaged" but denied it was an attempt to blackmail the major parties.

Opposition health spokesman Peter Dutton there had been no secret deal done with the Coalition.

"It's been the practice in the past that both parties have issued letters of support," he said.

"We want to provide certainty for the supply of medicine and if there is any policy change we will make it publicly known," he said.

News Corporation has learned relations between the Rudd Government and the Pharmacy Guild have become strained after the Guild began a political campaign in pharmacy shopfronts against government plans to speed up price cuts for consumers on generic medicines.

"We find it very difficult to see how the Pharmacy Guild can claim to support price disclosure while at the same time it is running a campaign for $150 million in compensation from the government," a source said.

"They should not underestimate the weight of public opinion on cheaper medicines."

Greens health spokesman Senator Richard Di Natale said the Greens had also been sent a letter to sign by the Guild which he is refusing to sign.

"We're not going to sign or make any commitment until the audit is done," he said.
"What is important to us is that consumers get good value for money," he said.

Another win for BIG BUSINESS.

Looks like the 'consumer watch dog' needs to grow some balls, but that is NOT what it's there for.

The Papier Mâché watch dog is only there for its bad looks.

Casey chief executive Mike Tyler court case adjourned to October

 

CASEY residents face at least a two-month wait to find out whether Casey Council chief executive Mike Tyler breached the Local Government Act. 

Mr Tyler made a brief ­appearance at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on Thursday when his matter was adjourned until October 22 for contest mention.

Mr Tyler is charged with two counts of breaching the Local Government Act for allegedly failing to notify the mayor and the council of a conflict of interest.

If found guilty of both charges, he could face fines of more than $33,000.

The conflict of interest charges relate to an alleged secret out-of-court sexual harassment settlement with a single mother of two.

Solicitor Greg Elms from the Victorian Government Solicitor's Office told the court on Thursday the two parties had "some very encouraging discussions" and that there was value in ­another adjournment.

Mr Tyler was not required to enter a plea at the hearing. He is understood to be funding his own legal defence.

Another fraud committed by 'local government'.

Something the corporate media is not willing to expose.

Queen's swan found barbecued on riverbank

British police are investigating the killing and apparent barbecuing of one of Queen Elizabeth's swans.

The bird was butchered, burnt and stripped of its flesh before the carcass was dumped on a riverbank near Windsor Castle, west of London, police and an animal charity said on Wednesday.

All wild mute swans in Britain are considered the property of the crown and it is an offence to kill one.

Animal charity worker Wendy Hermon said she felt "sick" when she found the bird on Sunday.

"It was just a carcass, it was all burnt. We could see that whoever did this had taken the breast out," said Hermon, who works for the charity Swan Lifeline, which cares for sick and injured birds.

"It was done neatly, presumably to get at the meat. They had skinned it as well and possibly barbecued it there, on a disposable barbecue."

ninemsn.com.au 22 Aug 2013

The torture of ANY animal defenceless or otherwise is cruel and illegal and cannot be condoned under any circumstances, but the other disturbing fact is hidden in the article.

"All wild mute swans in Britain are considered the property of the crown.."
 
What or who gives right to 'own' God's given free animals?

People forget the (murderous) atrocities of the British monarchy and the peasants of today are told to idolise the leechers of society known as the 'Royals'.

The "Crown" is a corporation which takes away the rights of free citizens and confiscates their proprty / land, a fact that the corporate media hastily reports.

Adrian Bayley's parole should have been cancelled, says parole board

Life sentence ... Adrian Ernest Bayley will serve at least 35 years behind bars. Photo: Supplied

Victoria's Adult Parole Board has admitted it made a mistake when it failed to revoke Adrian Ernest Bayley's parole, but insists community safety has always been its first priority.

The statement by the board, which hit out at the former High Court judge who wrote a report strongly critical of its operations, is the first time it has responded to months of criticism in the wake of a series of high-profile murders committed by parolees.

Bayley was on parole, following rapes committed more than a decade earlier, when he murdered Ms Meagher in a Brunswick laneway last September.

Responding on Wednesday to the scathing report from former judge Ian Callinan, the Adult Parole Board said that while protecting the community was its main priority, human behaviour was unpredictable and risk could not be totally eliminated.

The board said it admitted to Ms Meagher's husband, Tom, that it made the wrong decision when it did not revoke Bayley's parole after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in Geelong.

It expressed its regret and apologised for the decision, which it said was made in good faith.

"The board acknowledges a failure to identify the escalating risk that Mr Bayley posed to the community," it said.

"The board was not asked or advised to cancel Mr Bayley's parole but acknowledges now that it should have done so."

Bayley was both on parole and on bail, while he appealed his assault sentence, when he murdered Ms Meagher. Because he was appealing the sentence, he had not been jailed for his parole breach.

The board also said that Victoria Police had not opposed Bayley's bail application, and that the management of prisoners released on parole was the responsibility of Corrections Victoria.

A police spokeswoman said that when Bayley appealed his assault sentence and applied for bail, "Victoria Police was of the view that the magistrate had access to the offender's prior history and was aware of all the circumstances of the case when considering the application for bail.

"Victoria Police has a number of processes ... in place to notify Corrections Victoria of potential breaches by parolees.

"In this case, Corrections Victoria were notified on a number of occasions about the alleged offending and behaviour of this defendant. It is their role to then make recommendations to the Adult Parole Board."

The board said reports that Bayley had not appeared before it before being paroled were incorrect and that he appeared twice, with his case being considered a further five times.

Mr Callinan said in his report that it was not easy to understand why the serial rapist wasn't jailed when he was convicted of the Geelong assault, and the parole board had cause and opportunity to cancel his parole.

He said the board's decisions were tilted in favour of offenders, not victims, and it did not give enough prominence to public safety.

But the board has insisted it always placed community safety at the forefront of its considerations when granting parole.

"Contrary to Mr Callinan's assertions, we have always acted with community safety as the paramount consideration in the granting and cancellation of parole," it said.

"The interests of offenders have always been subordinate to the protection of the community. We cannot, however, predict human behaviour and no system can completely eliminate risk."

Wednesday's statement also rejected a suggestion in Mr Callinan's report that Bayley's parole file did not contain a detailed analysis and chronology of his history.

While the board admitted its filing system was antiquated, it did not accept the files were chaotic. It said they were voluminous, containing items such as the prisoner's criminal record, a number of reports and victims' submissions.

The statement said the board took into account the attitude of victims and had 651 people on a victims' register who were routinely notified of a parolee's progress, likely release and release date.

Mr Callinan said that "if safety to the public is truly to be the paramount consideration, [the board should be] more risk averse than it has become."

He said the board was too focused on the rehabilitation of offenders, to the detriment of community safety, and operated under the assumption that prisoners had a right to be paroled.

Some of the 23 recommendations in his report, released on Tuesday, would have the effect of significantly reducing opportunities for parole, including one which would require the parole board to rule out parole for serious offenders unless they could prove there was a "negligible risk" they would commit other crimes.

The board said it would co-operate in implementing the proposed reforms.

theage.com.au 21 Aug 2013

Another pathetic sentence by a legal system that supports criminals.

35 years is NOT a 'life sentence'.

Another slap in the face to the victims of crime.

 

Australia's court system is a corporate system where it feeds of the funds of the public.

 

The 'system' releases offenders so that they can re-offend, so they are taken to court where tens of thousands of dollars are spent by the plaintiffs to bring the accused to 'justice'.

 

This is another legal scam that the corporate media has NOT exposed.

 

Public safety is NOT the issue here, but rather revenue raising.

 

Transport gaps grow as road, rail fail in growth suburbs, Auditor-General's report warns

PUBLIC transport and road infrastructure in Melbourne's growth suburbs is inadequate and needs urgent action, a scathing Auditor-General's report has found.

"The state had failed to deliver the transport infrastructure and services needed to support rapidly growing communities," Auditor-General John Doyle said in the report on developing transport infrastructure and services for growth areas.

"Inadequate public transport and growing gaps in the road network in these communities are creating barriers to mobility, including access to critical services, education and employment opportunities."
The report said funding for transport in growth areas often took more than a generation to materialise.

The report found there would be a 98-year gap between when the rail line to East Doncaster was identified as a need and its estimated delivery date of 2027.

It said about $6.2 billion in rail projects for growth areas was yet to be funded.

Another $4.1 billion to $5.1 billion was needed for road infrastructure - more than $1 billion in outer eastern Casey.

"The delivery of transport infrastructure and services to Melbourne's growth areas has not kept pace with the rapid rate of population growth," the report said.

"This has resulted in inadequate services, and a significant and growing backlog of much needed state public transport and road infrastructure works."

RACV public transport and mobility manager Thanuja Gunatillake said a massive infrastructure backlog needed to be dealt with, and planning to ensure the mistakes weren't repeated.

Public Transport Users Association president Tony Morton said the report confirmed a well-known problem.

"There is now a bigger need than ever to build and invest in suburban public transport infrastructure like the Doncaster and Rowville extensions and also (train lines to) Melbourne Airport, Mernda and Clyde."

heraldsun.com.au 21 Aug 2013

Reports of this calibre have been around for over a generation and literally NOTHING has changed.

The infrastructure policy is very backwards, as projects are authorised once there is traffic gridlock, and not for the future, but in the rears.

Until this policy changes, Australia's population will always hurt, in terms of wasted time and monies.
