Civic Compliance Victoria Explained

This is a great breakdown what Civic Compliance Victoria actually is and who it’s shareholders are-FT

Civic Compliance Victoria is the “body” that processes infringement notices, infringement warrants and fines within the State of Victoria.

This article provides a description of exactly what Civic Compliance Victoria is (and is not), and the people behind CCV.

Civic Compliance Victoria

The State Government of Victoria website for fines states, “Civic Compliance Victoria (CCV) is an administrative body that is responsible for processing fines issued by various government agencies and authorities within Victoria“, and that, “all enforcement orders and infringement warrants issued by the Infringements Court are processed by Civic Compliance Victoria irrespective of the agency by which they were originally issued.” [1]

The fore mentioned website appears to be (grossly) misleading. In communications with the Department of Justice – State of Victoria it was communicated that:

Civic Compliance Victoria (CCV) is the name created by the State to provide one name for the integrated fines and enforcement system comprising the Traffic Camera Office of Victoria Police, the Infringements Court and the Sheriff’s Office. CCV has no ABN number and is not registered as a business as it is neither a business nor a company, nor a trading name. The name CCV is the intellectual property of the State of Victoria. [2]

This statement is confirmed by the IP Australia website [3]. The following trade marks are registered:
Registered Trade Marks for CCV
Number Trade Mark Name Registrant
933736 CCV The Crown in the Right of the State of Victoria
933737 CIVIC COMPLIANCE VICTORIA The Crown in the Right of the State of Victoria
1010971 CCV (logo) The Crown in the Right of the State of Victoria

Hence, Civic Compliance Victoria appears to be nothing more than a trade mark registered by The Crown in the Right of the State of Victoria.

The State of Victoria and Tenix

In communications with the Department of Justice – State of Victoria it was communicated that:
“The State’s contractor, Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd, is licensed to use the names ‘CCV’ and ‘Civic Compliance Victoria’ in providing infringement management and enforcement services for the State.” [2]

In subsequent communications with the Department of Justice – State of Victoria it was communicated that:
“… Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd is the only entity licensed to use the names ‘CCV’ and ‘Civic Compliance Victoria’“. [4]

Hence, the Department of Justice – State of Victoria has communicated that Tenix Solution IMES Pty Ltd has exclusive license to use the CCV trade marks.
Civic Compliance Victoria - Trade Mark Relationships
Further information about the relationship between the State of Victoria and Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd can be obtained from the following sources:
  • Infringement Management and Enforcement Services Project – Deed of Charge, signed 26 July 2007 (available via ASIC).

Note 2: The author is unaware of any updates to this agreement, thus the contractual terms may be out of date.

Who is Tenix?

Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd is a registered company in the Commonwealth of Australia (ABN 47 126 390 378) [6]; the ultimate holding company is Olbia Pty Ltd (ABN 64 000 305 304) [7]. Further company information can be obtained via ASIC which will validate this fact; part of the company extract is provided as evidence [8]. The company structure/hierarchy is presented.

Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd Company Structure (to Olbia Pty Ltd)
Hence, Tenix Solution IMES Pty Ltd is owned by Olbia Pty Ltd.

Who is Olbia?

Olbia Pty Ltd comprises of eight shareholders, four individual people and four companies; the shareholder structure is presented (information obtained from ASIC Company Extract [9]).
Olbia Pty Ltd Shareholders
Without further investigation, it may be (wrongly) assumed that each of the four company shareholders are owned or controlled by the respective individual shareholders (Paul Salteri, Robert Salteri, Mary Victoria Shaw, Adriana Bianca Gardos); the website manta.com provides information that Paul Salteri is a director of Pasagean Pty Ltd and Adriana Bianca Gardos is a director of Clurname Pty Ltd [10] [11].

The four individuals who are shareholders of Olbia Pty Ltd are children of the late Carlo Salteri; Carlo Salteri died in 2010 [12].
Salteri Family

Hence, Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd, the company that issues infringement notices and infringement warrants is a family-owned company of the Salteri family. According to the BRW Rich 200 list, the Salteri family was ranked as the 7th wealthiest family in Australia ($1.18B). [13]

 Summary

In summary, based on the evidence provided:
  • Civic Compliance Victoria and CCV are trade marks.
  • CCV is not a corporation, entity, government department or administrative body.
  • Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd has (exclusive) license to use the CCV trade marks.
  • Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd has a five year contract with the State of Victoria valued at approximately $332.1M.
  • The ultimate holding company of Tenix Solutions IMES Pty Ltd is Olbia Pty Ltd.

The Domestic Violence Method


http://www.domesticviolencemethod.com/family-court

 
THE FAMILY COURT CARTELS

As we have seen, the Family Court cartels (comprising the judges, solicitors, psychologists, interest groups and politicians) profit hugely from domestic violence and Parental Alienation, at the expense of children. These groups use children against their parents so as to extract every last cent from families. Like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey, the court will use children to threaten parents into agreeing to parenting orders and even take children away from parents for no reason, knowing that parents will spend every last cent they have to see their children again. This is known as the 'Cash for Kids' scheme and is used by Family Courts around the world. 

These judicial officers have allowed the Family Court to become a cesspool of lies and manipulation. Anyone can say anything without any evidence and get away with it. The liars and manipulators are seen as being rewarded by the legal community themselves, prompting solicitors to resort to the same tactics. The judges and magistrates involved within the Family Court system have very little respect for themselves or the court they represent. 

THE RULE OF LAW - THE INFAMOUS 2012 FAMILY LAW AMENDMENTS

In order to understand why domestic violence statistics have exploded, it is important to look at recent changes to Family Court and domestic violence legislation.  

In 2006, the Howard government introduced Shared Care Amendments to the Family Law legislation in an attempt to reduce Parental Alienation. The legislation was a step forward in eliminating Parental Alienation and allowing for a smooth transition for families going through separation and divorce. The amendments ensured that children were cared for by both parents and that children would never again be alienated from one, or both parents or used as a weapon against each parent. The legislation had a small flaw in that the presumption of shared care was subject to domestic violence 'concerns', where a parent could withhold a child is they believed they were being subjected to abuse. This legal clause actually encouraged false domestic violence and child abuse allegations, although not to the extend we have seen since 2012. However, it was a step forward for children and families going through separation. Now families would be assured that no matter what happened, they would always have each other.

The recent issues with false accusations and the Family Court derive largely from a feminist group known as Emily's List Australia. Emily's List began in 1994, when the ALP National Conference passed an Affirmative Action Rule requiring women be preselected in 35 per cent of winnable seats at all elections by 2002. Among the progressive women who drove this change were Julia Gillard, and former Premiers Joan Kirner and Carmen Lawrence along with others. According to the Emily's List website:

"Despite this landmark achievement, in 1995 Federal Labor pre-selections saw the number of women pre-selected in safe and winnable seats decline. Furthermore, the 1996 election saw the election of 16 new Conservative women to Federal Parliament. It was obvious something more had to be done for and by Labor women."


EMILY stands for "Early Money Is Like Yeast - It Helps to Raise the Dough". The group was clearly about raising money to fund women in parliament. The Emily's List website states that "Labor women clearly needed a political and personal support network to assist their campaigns". No problems there, right? Women were oppressed for years. Why not form a group to assist women in politics? However, this group was run by Julia Gillard, an out-spoken radical feminist with an (alleged) history of fraudulent activities and a strong anti-male attitude. Other members of the group include Tanya Plibersek, Penny Wong and dozens of Labor MPs, not including indirect supporters in the judiciary. 

To change laws, Emily's List needed members in key areas:
* Prime Minister - to gain an ultimate grasp over parliament and push new laws;
* Members of Parliament - the more members in parliament, the easier laws could be approved;
* Attorney-General - to recommend new laws for Royal Assent (the Attorney-General also manages the HREOC - see earlier report);
* Chief Justice of the Family Court - someone to ensure that anti-male laws would be put into effect within the Family Court.

Almost as soon as Julia Gillard and her various Emily's List members came into power, they enacted new laws which threw families into turmoil. The new legislation included, among other amendments,:
1. widening the definition of "domestic violence" to include almost every possible negative occurrence between families. Everything from negative comments, to withholding money is now considered to be an act of domestic violence;

2. removing any penalties for perjury for parents who make false domestic violence and child abuse allegations to police and the courts. This has allowed parents to make allegations while the innocent parent is interrogated by police. Furthermore, making false domestic violence allegations was now a sure-fire way to obtain full custody in the Family Court;

3. removed the Howard's Shared-Care assurances for families. 

Suddenly, domestic violence allegations exploded.

Every vindictive, greedy parent wanted to make domestic violence and child abuse allegations. The benefits of making allegations of domestic violence and child abuse, and receiving full custody are extensive, including:
* priority placement for community housing;
* Legal Aid funding;
* support from interest groups in court;
* increase child support payments;
* increased benefit payments;
* priority placement in Family Court 'queues';
and most importantly, the 'doubt' about whether the accusations 'may' be true - allowing Judges to ban the other parent from their children, 'just in case'. 

Police and government services have been bombarded with false allegations to the point where it is almost impossible to determine the true complaints from the false complaints. Resources have been strained and the courts are blocks up for years. Despite having court orders in place, parents who have become victims of false allegations of abuse must wait years for their claims to be processed. Stories are now coming to light where the abusive parent has made false allegations to cover up their crime and point attention to the innocent parent. 

Each day, parents are denied contact with their children, or forced to have Supervised Contact with their children, despite having court orders in place. In order to see their children again, they must go through the Family Court system for years, at great expense - cash for kids! Family Court orders have become useless and unenforceable at the hands of vindictive parents making false domestic violence allegations.

Why would Julia Gillard do this? Why would any politician put children is a position where they would be abused and used in this way? Let's look at the main players in this deceitful game:


Prime Minister - Julia Gillard:
For years, Julia Gillard has been the subject of criminal activity inquiries. From her alleged part in the Australian Worker's Union (AWU) in which it is alleged she "unknowingly" spent tens of thousands of dollars of misappropriated funds on herself, including clothing and home renovations, to questions challenging the legality in her holding a position in office. Now we see an organisation that was set up by Julia Gillard in 1996 (while being investigated for her involvement with the AWU scandal), and her becoming Prime Minister in June 2010. How much money did Emily's List receive in government grants, only to fund Julia's campaign, both directly and indirectly? Whatever the case, Julia Gillard seems to place herself again and again in a conflict of interest position, and her new "anti-father" laws are no different.

It was reported that Tony Abbott was critical about Emily's List and there are reports about him commenting on the group. However, this provoked Julia Gillard to refer to him as a 'misogynist pig' in her (in)famous speech. From Julia Gillard's point of view, Tony would be seen as a sexist woman-hater if he 'exposed' the group. However, it was not just Tony Abbott who was/is victim to Emily's List. The group were, and still are, currently pushing a program called The Misogynist Factor. The group seems determined to label any male a 'misogynist', even a married father with three close daughters. 

However, Emily's List manipulation goes even further. There is evidence that Kevin Rudd was embarrassed by the group of Labor women and their sexist law-making creating a negative impact upon the Labor party. However, no-one in Labor can speak out against them, because the group would accuse them of 'misogyny'. An example: we all know most Australians wanted Julia Gillard out of politics ever since she organised a back-stabbing coup upon Kevin Rudd. In the end, she was the one who challenged Kevin Rudd for the 'winner-takes-all' show-down... and lost! And let's face it, the PM job is the toughest in the world where everyone attacks you for anything and everything. But that's not how one of Emily's List's members, Ann Summer's, put this spin on the events:
Julia's rise to the top, and her massive entitlements, were all thanks to Emily's List and the funding it provided. 

Attorney-General - Nicola Roxon:
Now, let's also look at Emily's List 'member', Nicola Roxon. When Julia Gillard was bringing pushing her laws allowing women to make false allegations against men without punishment, and laws widening the term of 'domestic violence' to encompass almost everything imaginable, she was also placing Nicola Roxon as Attorney-General. Once the laws were passed (of course, with a strong backing of almost every female Labor member in Emily's List), they were assured Royal Assent upon Nicola Roxon's recommendations. Obtaining assent for such laws was not difficult, when you have the backing off a Governor-General, who is also openly supportive of the 'Women's Movement'. Soon after, Nicola Roxon 'retired'. 

Although not an outspoken radical feminist to the degree that Julia Gillard was, Nicola Roxon's feminist ideals have come to light through various speeches and comments she has made.

Many of the initiatives supported by Nicola Roxon were focused on women, usually under the guise of 'domestic violence'.

Emily's List members were strategically placed in key positions in Parliament to ensure this new, highly-discriminatory and ridiculous legislation was passed quickly and effectively. 

As a result, domestic violence and child abuse complaints exploded, and so did the reports of fathers losing access to their own children.


Chief Justice of the Family Court - Diane Bryant
Diana Bryant was appointed to the Family Court of Australia in 2004. Her involvement in radical feminism is extensive, and in 2009 she was appointed Patron of Australian Women Lawyers. In her 2008 keynote address to the Australian Women Lawyers Second National Conference, Diana Bryant's radical feminist ideals are become very clear. She also makes reference to fellow Emily's List members throughout her speech, including Ann Summers. 

All this from a woman who is supposed to view everyone as 'equal' in the eyes of the law. 

Diana Bryant's radical feminist views stem from her mother, a lawyer and President of the Legal Women's Associated in the 1950s. This is a woman who had radical feminist ideals thrust upon her throughout her childhood - brought up viewing men as the 'enemy' and a 'barrier' to women's success. Since Julia Gillard's rise to power, we have seen a dramatic focus on 'domestic violence' within the Family Court system and ever increasing distrust of the Family Court system as stories of false accusations make headlines... all encouraged by Diana Bryant. 


Corruption and the Rule of Law?
Whether you are opposed to feminism or not, what has been exposed here is a definite link between Emily's List - a political group with the sole purpose of pouring money into the back pockets of its members - and its far-reaching hand into the pockets of the judiciary, legislative and executive spheres of politics. The result has been an onslaught of sexist laws, the bombardment of false allegations and a system where children are used for profit - the profit of the people who claim to be acting in the 'best interests of the child'.

CORRUPTION AND THE FAMILY COURT - THE BREAKDOWN OF THE AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION

Now we know about Julia Gillard's Emily's list - a group of radical feminists including our own Attorney-General, Governor-General, Prime Minister and even the Chief Justice of the Family Court, who embezzle and rort tax payers for their own personal career advancement. So what does Emily's List Australia have to do with the AWU scandal?

In 1992, the AWU (Australian Worker's Union) was established by state secretary Bruce Wilson and Ralph Blewitt, without the knowledge of the national leaders of the AWU. In 1993, Wilson arranged the purchase of a house for Ralph Blewitt. It is alleged that the house was part paid for by funds "drawn from accounts directly related to the AWU Workplace Reform Association", with the balance lent by Slater & Gordon. Police fraud squad investigators suspected that the association was used by Wilson and Blewitt to allegedly fraudulently obtain over $400,000 from major construction companies. At the time, a police investigation did not lead to any charges being laid, and the police decided not to take any further action. However, after new evidence emerged during 2012, Victorian police reopened the investigation.

Julia Gillard worked in the industrial department of Slater & Gordon from 1988 through to 1995. In 1991, while she was a lawyer with the firm, she was also in a romantic relationship with Bruce Wilson. Gillard provided legal assistance to help establish the AWU Workplace Reform Association. She was also involved in providing legal services in relation to the purchase of property by Wilson and Blewitt. Slater & Gordon investigated Gillard's conduct. However, prior to the conclusion of the investigation, Gillard took leave from the firm and later resigned to pursue her political career.

Gillard has subsequently described the intent of the association as being to assist in the re-election of union officials and as a 'slush fund'. Gillard responded by stating that she only provided legal assistance, and that she neither drafted the passage in the legal documentation describing the association's purpose, nor signed the papers. However, she later admitted that she drafted the rules for the association, basing them on the "Socialist Forum" student organisation rules she had earlier established at Melbourne University (note this University, as it will be linked to Emily's List again). So now Julia Gillard is (allegedly) linked to evidence that slush funds were being used to further the re-election of "union" officials (ie. Labor sympathisers) and for her own personal financial gain. That is one stem of the Emily's List rort. 


Julia Gillard and the University of Melbourne/Adelaide

On a minor note, let's look at Julia Gillard's involvement with Universities and her own "retirement plan." What is Julia Gillard up to these days? She happily left politics without a huff to move on to "greener pastures", but where were those pastures. Well, those that can, do, and those that can't, teach. Julia Gillard was very involved in both the Melbourne and Adelaide universities And Julia kept her options open with both Melbourne and Adelaide Universities. She studied at both universities and graduated from Melbourne University, which has been heavily criticised for its "feminist rule" click here to view.

Gillard is now a "Professor" with the Adelaide University. It has been reported that Julia Gillard and alumni of Adelaide University will establish the taxpayer-funded executive office she is entitled to as a former leader within the university grounds:

And why wouldn't the University of Adelaide offer Julia Gillard her own tax-payer-funded office and executive position that she was entitled to, after she donated $100m in funding to the University during Australia's worst 'recession' in decades, and during a time when funding to other Universities was being cut, threatening Labor's chances of re-election - but who cares when you have a cushy executive position lined up. In fact, as soon as Julia Gillard left the ALP, Labor declared it was 'reconsidering' the cuts to Universities:

The ties between Julia Gillard and the University of Adelaide are pretty close. After all, Julia Gillard's father donated his body to the University's science department: click here to view. 

However, Adelaide university was not always on top of Julia's preference list. The University of Melbourne was where she graduated, and the university has been highly criticised for its feminist influences, leading back to Emily's List:


Whether Julia Gillard intended to secure a cushy job within Melbourne University, or whether it was because fellow feminists including CJ Family Court, Diane Bryant, Nicola Roxon and Governor General, Quentin Bryce, also graduated from Melbourne University Law School, at the same time that Julia Gillard was cutting federal funding to Universities, she was not only pumping millions of dollars into Adelaide University, but also into Melbourne University, including a $300,000 grant for people who "needed Legal Aid, but did not qualify for Legal Aid" ie. domestic violence "victims" (now backtrack to Emily's List and Julia Gillard's 2012 domestic violence and Family Law amendments):

All the key Emily's List members have retained tight links to each other, and the Melbourne University:


What does the University of Melbourne have that attracts everyone? It is home to the Australian Labor Party Club. The ALPC has had its hand in the pockets of Family Court members since its beginnings, including publishing first CJ of the Familiy Court Elizabeth Evatt's book 'Family Law'. CJ Alastair Nicholson also graduated from Melbourne University. Of course, there is nothing wrong with associating with an interest group. But when that group is linked to secret deals, illegal slush funds and discriminate law-making, all mixed with large 'donations', then questions need to be raised.

Why Julia Gillard suddenly poured funds into Adelaide University and secured a position there is unknown. Being ousted from various unions and interest groups and bringing shame to the "fraternity" could be a major reason. In any event, although Julia Gillard has taken a turn away from Melbourne University, she has done very well from the countless slush funds, interest groups, feminist liaisons and secret hand-shake deals over the years.

Embezzlement, rorting, funds being syphoned between "social groups" for "career progression", secret societies and, discrimination against fathers in the Family Court... all surrounding Emily's List, namely Julia Gillard, Nicola Roxon, Diane Bryant and Quentin Bryce. The Australian Government needs to launch a Royal Inquiry into the affairs of Emily's List and the dealings between the group and the Family Court.

So now that we have examined the background of the Family Court and its history with radical feminism since the it began in the 1970s, lets look at how the Family Court has manipulated families and children for their own ideals. 

THE FAMILY COURT ACT - "IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD"

This is the catchphrase of the Family Court cartels. Whenever a child is taken away from a parent or both parents, we here the term loud and clear, spewing from the mouths of judges and lawyers. The interesting question is, what is "in the best interests of the child"? 

Family Law legislation clearly states that, when determining what is in the "best interests of the child", the court should take into account:
a) ensuring the children have the benefit of both of their parents having a meaningful involvement in their lives, to the maximum extent consistent with the best interests of the child; and 
(b) protecting children from physical or psychological harm from being subjected to, or exposed to, abuse, neglect or family violence; and
(c) ensuring that children receive adequate and proper parenting to help them achieve their full potential; and
(d) ensuring that parents fulfil their duties, and meet their responsibilities, concerning the care, welfare and development of their children.

The Family Law Act makes clear that:
1. both parents are responsible for the care and welfare of their children and;
2. arrangements which involve shared responsibilities and cooperation between the parents are in the best interests of the child.

According to the Family Law Act, the primary considerations that a Judge must apply when determining what is in the best interests of the child are:
1. The benefit of children having a meaningful relationship with both parents;
2. The need to protect children from physical and psychological harm. This includes children seeing family violence, being neglected, or being physically or psychologically hurt.

Other factors to be considered are:
3. the child's relationship with each parent and other people, including grandparents;
4. the willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the child and the other parent;
5. the attitude of each parent to the child and the responsibilities of parenthood...

Is the Family Court protecting children from disputes and emotional abuse? Is the Family Court ensuring parents are acting in the best interests of their children? Or is the Family Court allowing, and even encouraging children to be used to create conflict. We are seen increasing cases of
children being taken away from one parent and given to the parent who uses the child to make false abuse claims, and how children are used to extort parents. And now the cartels are pushing for children to testify in Family Court proceedings, subjecting them to coercion, pressure and guilt. 

 Is the Family Court ensuring that the separation process is quick, so as to avoid unnecessary turmoil on children and their families? We have seen how the courts drag cases out using the DV Method. 

If the Family Court ensuring that children have contact with both parents? We have seen that the courts are too willing to remove children from parents and even place them in environments where they continue to be subjected to emotional and psychological abuse. 

Then what is 'in the best interests of the child'? Each year, thousands of children are dragged to doctors, psychologists, child services and police, forced to make allegations against their own parents. Children quickly learn about molestation, rape and pornography as more and more pressure is placed upon them to make statements to officials (imagine what would happen if children were made to testify in court). Each year, thousands of parents hear their children making allegations against them. Each year, thousands of parents are detained by police, accused of molesting their own children, have their homes searched, their phones searched, their computers searched, their friends and work colleagues questioned... One simple allegation and a person's life is destroyed. There are no penalties for the accusers. Each year, thousands of children are taken from their parents and forced to have Supervised Contact, with someone standing no further than 3m from the parent and the child. And each year, the Family Court cartels take a share of the billions of dollars in profits. 

It is clear, that the intention of the government was to ensure that children have the input of both parents in their lives to ensure the child is protected from abuse and has the advantage of proper parenting (and to a greater extent than Judge Tom Altobelli's view that a Christmas card each year is sufficient). So what happened? How did the Family Court deteriorate into a cesspool of domestic violence allegations, child abuse allegations and psychologists? With Julia Gillard's Emily's List pulling the strings in the executive, judiciary and legislative branches, laws were amended and watered-down case by case and domestic violence loop holes became central to the underpinnings of the Family Court.

Although, again, the legislation states that children should have a meaningful relationship with both parents, there is also a requirement to protect children from abuse. Of course, this makes sense. However, the legislators did not expect to open the flood gates for domestic violence accusations as parents, lawyers, psychologists and doctors all scrambled for a share of the $13 billion-per-year booty that is on offer. Now, instead of protecting children from abusive relationships and conflict, the Family Court cartels are subjecting children to further abuse by rewarding parents who continuously make false accusations and drag their children to police and doctors claiming sexual abuse:

Why does the Family Court have to deal with abuse claims? Abuse is a crime. The police have enough resources to investigate abuse claims (and would have even more resources if some of the $13 billion went into prevention). The Department of Community Services investigates all allegations of abuse and has the power to remove children from parents. There is no need for the Family Courts to investigate complaints of domestic violence. When a parent makes an application to the court, the police or government departments can submit a report or "flag" cases of abuse. However, the new domestic violence laws have the exact opposite effect of protecting false allegations of abuse. As a result, Australia has become a country where children are taken away from their parents for no reason at all, except for pure greed and corruption. Now we have more and more legislation taking away children's rights to be cared for by both parents. And as the definition of "domestic violence" is widened, and more legislation uses domestic violence as an excuse to remove children from their home, the Family Court cartels get rich. The result:
* children being brought up without access to both parents;
* children being educated in molestation and abuse as they are used by parents and the Family      
Court cartels in a domestic violence manipulation battle;
* children coerced into making complaints against another parent of sexual abuse, sexual molestation and, one of the most common complaints, subjected to pornography;
* parents falsely detained, arrested and even imprisoned based on absolutely no evidence except the coerced statements of children;
* the Family Court cartels rewarding parents for making false domestic violence and child abuse allegations;
* children losing their parents forever;
* high rate of suicide and murder as parents are psychologically pushed to their limits;
* as public services are cut back (education, health etc) the government is still throwing billions of dollars away on domestic violence; 
and, most importantly...
* real victims of domestic violence and child abuse do not receive help as resources are drained by false accusations.

s121 THE FAMILY COURT ACT 1975

If you have ever been involved with Family Court proceedings, or know someone who has, you will have heard references to s 121 FCA. The section is the Family Court's 'Shroud of Secrecy'. The section states:

Restriction on publication of court proceedings
(1)  A person who publishes in a newspaper or periodical publication, by radio broadcast or television or by other electronic means, or otherwise disseminates to the public or to a section of the public by any means, any account of any proceedings, or of any part of any proceedings, under this Act that identifies:
   (a)  a party to the proceedings;
   (b)  a person who is related to, or associated with, a party to the proceedings or is, or is alleged to be, in any other way concerned in the matter to which the proceedings relate; or
   (c)  a witness in the proceedings;

is guilty of an offence punishable, upon conviction by imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year.
The section has been highly criticised as it means that anyone who discusses anything about a case going through the Family Court, can be imprisoned for up to one year. The Family Court claims that this section helps protect the children involved. What it actually has the effect of doing, is allowing corruption to run rampant away from the scrutiny of the public and the media. Those who have gone public with their stories, such as recordings on YouTube, have shown judges threatening parents. using children against parents to agree to court orders, and even telling solicitors to leave the room. One reporter who did speak out against the shroud of s121 and its implications, points out the injustice that occurs when judges are not held accountable.

However, it seems the Family Court are very choosy when charging people with breaching the section. As we saw in the Italian Girls case, the mother, grandmother and the media were able to publically declare the father a drunken child abuser without being charged. Yet, there are reports of fathers who have been charged, simply by posting evidence of judges threatening them. 

From my own experience, I sat in Family Courtrooms for years, listening to the lies being told to Judges. One women told a Judge she had served her husband with papers and he had chosen to abandon his children. One call from the judge (on loudspeaker) and the father stated he knew nothing of the proceedings. Yet, the mother was not fined, or even warned for her lies. I saw countless allegations of non-payment of child support which were proven false upon documentation. I heard a woman screaming at her friend because she had botched the "story" she had been told to say. I listened to stories so ridiculous that even judges stopped them half-way. And yet, no-one is punished for lying or deceiving. Judges allow this behaviour not only to continue, but escalate. And yet, if someone falsely accused speaks out in their own defence, s121 suddenly applies. The focus of the court is clearly on silencing victims and protecting accusers.

s121 also allows false allegations to remain undisclosed. There are also countless reports of parents being unjustifiably banned from seeing their children amidst false child abuse and domestic violence allegations. While the accusers tell everyone the court banned the 'pedophile' from having access to the children, the other party cannot publicaly tell their story once the court proceedings are over. 

In the US and UK, we have seen huge demonstrations against the Family Courts in response to such 'veils of secrecy' and increasing instances of corruption being exposed as a result. Parents setting themselves on fire on the Family Court stairs, climbing walls in super hero suits, and demonstrating in the streets finally made a change, with new laws targeting the corrupt 'Cash for Kids' scandal.

The Family Court system in Australia is no different to the UK. Corruption and politics take precedent over the so-called ''best interests of the child'. 

THE FAMILY COURT CARTELS

Domestic violence is reported to be a $13 billion, tax-payer funded industry in Australia [insert link]. Everyone involved in the industry profits:

* judges: as long as the courts are backed up, they can justify huge salaries. Many judges are also linked with to interest groups and receive the kick-backs. Some are obligated to the politician that swore them in to uphold the ideals of that politician (search who appointed the judges named in this website). Most judges also own family law firms and rake in huge amounts of money, taking families saving and assets. With the average family court cost ranging between $150,000 - $200,000 there is plenty of profits to be made;

* solicitors: by bringing domestic violence and DVOs into a family Court proceeding, solicitors can be guaranteed of adding an extra $50,000+ to their profits. Domestic violence issues will generally go directly to the Family Court (rather than the cheaper Magistrate's courts) and this is where the solicitors make the big bucks. If you sit outside the court rooms, you will hear solicitors convincing their clients into making an application for a DVO. A lot of DVOs are made while waiting for hearings and other applications. 

* psychologists: the Family Court is run by psychologists. Psychologists prepare Family Reports which are submitted to the courts. It is well accepted within the legal industry that the recommendations in the Family Report are what judges will make in the final orders. Psychologists meet with each parent and the children for only about one hour each. That means you have one hour to convince them that you and your children are being abused. For a few hours work, psychologists can make in excess of $4,000 per report and its a guaranteed stream of clientele. To stay in favour with the judges and continue to receive referrals, psychologists will do anything they can to make the decision process for the judge easy, and domestic violence is a key decider. Even where there is no evidence of domestic violence, or where domestic violence and child abuse allegations are false, psychologists will create terms (eg. separation-engendered violence) to ensure that some type of domestic violence is present [insert example]. 

* interest groups: as discussed, interest groups have a large interest, and investment, in domestic violence. By reinforcing domestic violence stereotypes, interest groups continue to receive millions and millions of dollars of tax-payer funded grants and donations. As the definition of "domestic violence" continues to widen, and more and more acts constitute domestic violence, interest groups produce more and more statistics that continue to show domestic violence as an epidemic. And how does government solve any large-scale problem? By throwing money at it. And this is what interest groups want.

* politicians: politicians and interest groups go hand-in-hand. The last thing a politician wants is interest groups on their back. What would happen if a politician came forward to the public, claiming that domestic violence was Australia's biggest rort and that they were taking domestic violence out of the Family Court equation? Interest groups would destroy their career instantly with media spin doctoring and political pressure. Imagine a judge not handing out a DVO and domestic violence did occur. The interest groups would rally outside the courthouse. We have already seen what happens when judges come forward with statements exposing the Domestic Violence Method: they are quickly ostracised by the legal community. And of course, we all know that politicians also receive campaign donations from interest groups... millions and millions of dollars in donatin. 

Domestic violence is a $13 billion dollar industry. Everyone within the family court system gets rich from pushing the same stereotype about domestic violence. No-one really cares what is really going on. Real victims of domestic violence are lost in a sea of false allegations. Police and social services are strained financially and unable to determine truth from fiction and many cases that do go before a judge are easily disputed by solicitors for the accused, ironically, stipulating the facts within the Domestic Violence Method. 

In fact, countries that have had inquiries into domestic violence have shown that around 70-80% of domestic violence claims are false! In Australia, some judges have broken the code of silence and have come forward, confirming the incredibly high rate of false accusations, only to be condemned by their colleagues. Overseas, in countries like the US and UK, judicial corruption surrounding the Family Court cartels and domestic violence:
article 1          article 2          article 3          article 4          article 5

A search of any court database will show almost endless cases of false domestic violence allegations, and innocent parents being imprisoned and banned from having contact with their children. The Domestic Violence Method is entrenched within the Family Court system and the public's perception of domestic violence. It does not matter that innocent parents are imprisoned each year on baseless and false allegations of abuse. It does not matter that children are being taken away from their parents by a corrupt legal system, producing a new, modern "Stolen Generation". All that matters is that the DV Method continue to generate wealth for all!


DISGRACED!
Magistrate Tom Altobelli

Judges seem to love alienating children from their parents. Tom Altobelli made a name for himself, and became the pin-up boy for Family Court corruption and Parental Alienation, after he banned a father from having any access to his children, simply because the mother had made false allegations of child abuse against him. 

Furthermore, Altobelli attempted to justify his actions in a paper titled "When A Child Rejects a Parent", claiming that children alienate themselves from their own parents. Sure, maybe when they are teenagers they want to see their parents less, but does a 4yo really alienate themselves? What Altobelli does not mention in his paper is external factors, like child coercion, emotional abuse and parental manipulation.



FAMILY COURT ORDERS ARE WORTHLESS AGAINST THE DV METHOD

After spending anything from $50,000 - $300,000+ and losing everything from savings to the family home, parents are finally handed a piece of paper stating when each parent can see their children. That one piece of paper that parents can rely on to ensure that they will at least have contact with their children. However, up against the DV Method, that piece of paper is worthless. Allegations of domestic violence will easily override a Family Court order. Filing for a breach of orders only fuels more allegations. And because parents can lose their children if the other parent does not "enable communication between both parents", thousands of parents settle for supervised contact with their children while their breach application turns into a child abuse witch hunt. 

Furthermore, there are absolutely no penalties for making false allegations and no compensation for parents who have been accused of abusing their children. Why? police and DoCS will tell you (albiet informally and off-the-record) that it is general policy not to deter parents from making allegations of child abuse where they "suspect" abuse! You can say anything in a Family Court affidavit or a DVO, without any evidence, and never be charged with perjury or making a false complaint. Ironically, parents are charged every day for technical breaches of DVOs. The biggest breach is where one parents will ask the other to pick up the children from their home. The other parent will assume that consent has been given, and arrive just as the police arrive.

A convicted terrorist has exposed security gaps at Sydney airport after boarding a flight to Syria on his brother’s passport

  • It is believed Khaled Sharrouf is now in Syria
  • He used his brother’s passport to leave Australia
  • He fled despite being on airport watchlists and being under 24hr surveillance
  • Sharrouf is one of the “terror nine” arrested in 2005
A CONVICTED terrorist used his brother’s passport to fool Customs officers and board a flight for Syria, exposing grave security gaps at Sydney international airport. 

Despite not having a passport in his name, being on airport watchlists around the country and being under 24-hour surveillance as part of a counter-terror investigation, Khaled Sharrouf walked onto a Kuala Lumpur flight under the nose of Customs on December 6 and has since disappeared.

The 31-year-old father-of-four, one of the most recognisable names in law enforcement, is one of the “terror nine” arrested in the landmark Operation Pendennis investigation in 2005 which thwarted a planned attack on an unspecified target in Sydney.
"Sharrouf’s disappearance, a signifcant embarrassment to border security agencies, was also hushed up by authorities with this newspaper blocked from accessing basic public documents about the case against him."
Timeline of events
Who are the terror nine?
 
Authorities strongly suspect he is now in Syria, where it is feared up to 120 other Australians are fighting in the country’s civil war alongside proscribed terror organisations.

A major investigation has been launched by counter-terror authorities into how he escaped the country and why it took 12 days before authorities even realised the father-of-four had disappeared.

It is understood Sharrouf had been at the centre of a major counter-terror investigation by federal police and other agencies which were supposed to be watching his every move.

On November 9 he was observed in remote bushland near Lithgow with several other men holding an unauthorised firearm.

Protocol states that a person with a criminal history such as Sharrouf’s would be immediately charged and taken into custody, however, for operational reasons, he was not charged over the firearm at the time and allowed to remain free.

Sharrouf’s disappearance, a significant embarrassment to border security agencies, was also hushed up by authorities with this newspaper blocked from accessing basic public documents about the case against him.

NSW Police are understood to be furious about the Customs blunder which allowed him to escape, and the lack of security at the airport.

Sharrouf is one of only a few people in Australia charged with plotting a terrorist act and investigators are now scrambling to locate his exact whereabouts.

Court records confirm that on December 18 documents were lodged at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court charging Sharrouf with falsely using Australian travel documents belonging to another person.

He left the country just three days after Australian Federal Police swooped on two Sydney men for allegedly sending young Australian Muslims to fight in war-ravaged Syria.

Sharrouf’s lawyer, Simon Joyner, said he was unable to answer questions about his client.
“At this stage I will not comment on these issues,” Mr Joyner said.

Sharrouf pleaded guilty in 2009 to possessing six clocks and one hundred and forty batteries, which he admitted were connected with the preparation of a terrorist act.

A judge sentenced him to three years and 11 months jail before he was released in 2009 to spend a further year and three months on parole.
"A major investigation has been launched by counter-terror authorities into how he escaped the country and why it took 12 days before authorities even realised the father-of-four had disappeared."
He attempted to have his passport returned on his release was unsuccessful.

About three weeks before he left Australia, Sharrouf was charged with possessing an unauthorised firearm and ordered to appear in Lithgow Local Court.

The charge relates to an incident on November 9 when police in the village of Glen Davis, near Lithgow, saw Sharrouf and others in remote bushland.

Police allegedly spotted a number of men with rifles and, upon approaching them, saw Sharrouf holding a weapon, which was licensed to another man present at the scene.

He did not appear in court to answer the charge on January 30 and a magistrate has since issued a warrant for his arrest.

During Operation Pendennis investigators followed their targets to two remote bush locations where “training camps” had been set up to test fire weapons and bomb makeshift targets.

Last week the NSW Attorney General’s Department hindered access to basic public documents outlining the firearm charge and false passport charges against Sharrouf, with no official explanation provided.

The Sunday Telegraph has since confirmed Australian Federal Police were given the final say over whether the public-record information should be released.

Instead of refusing access, the department undertook a delaying tactic which, after three days of “considering” whether to release the documents, had still made no decision by Friday close of business, meaning the files could not be released before this newspaper’s deadline.

Who are the terror nine?

THEY are known as the “Terror Nine” — the group responsible for attempting to launch a terrorist attack on Australian soil to rival the devastation of 9/11.

For more than a year, counter-terror agencies analysed their every move, used listening devices to hear their conversations and surveilled them at training camps in remote bush locations.

Among them was young extremist Khaled Sharrouf, a married father-of-four living in Punchbowl with an Anglo-Australian wife who had converted to Islam.

At the time of his arrest in November 2005, Australian-born Sharrouf was on a disability pension and “eked out an existence” labouring on building sites from time to time.

But when police with Operation Pendennis raided his home they found extremist material, instructional documents on how to make and detonate a bomb, and videos of hostages being executed.

Four years later he would plead guilty to conspiring to commit a terrorist attack in NSW — the exact location of the strike has never been determined by police.

His role in the plot included an attempt to steal six clocks and 140 batteries from a Big W store at Chullora, which were going to be used as the timer and detonator for a series of bombs.

He was caught by security and ended up serving 14 days in jail — but counter-terror officers were watching and saw a bigger picture forming.

In 2009 he was sentenced to a minimum three years and 11 months jail and, due to time already served since his arrest, he was released on parole weeks later.

His wife told the court at the time of his sentencing that once out he wanted to keep to himself and “stay out of trouble”.

But life on the outside has been anything but quiet since his release.

Sharrouf’s associations and business endeavours have not gone unnoticed by police and various law enforcement agencies that have maintained watch over him.

At present he is the co-director of an investment company, KGBV Investments, with former Comanchero bikie Bilal Fatrouni.

Another co-director in the same business, Vasko Boskovski, 35, was gunned down on his doorstep in July last year in a murder that remains unsolved.

In 2010, leaked U.S. embassy cables revealed Sharrouf had been placed on an airport watchlist along with another terror co-conspirator, Mirsad Mulahalilovic, 39, who is also out of jail.

Both men were added because of their “demonstrated links to (Anwar) al-Aulaqi”, the Yemeni-cleric and suspected al-Qaeda leader killed by a drone strike.

In 2011 he was back before the courts after being accused of assaulting a restaurant owner during a brawl over a parking space at Bankstown.

He was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm over the incident, along with his co-accused, Hyde Park rioter Ahmed Elomar.

Elomar is the nephew of Mohamed Ali Elomar, who was convicted of the same terror plot with Sharrouf.
The charges against both men were later dismissed.

If he does return to Australia, Sharrouf will be arrested at the border and charged on outstanding warrants, including using his brother’s passport to leave the country.

The question for law enforcement, however, is whether they will know when he re-enters the country.
And if that does happen, how many others are using the same tactic?

dailytelegraph.com.au 8 Feb 2014

Is it really pathetic / lax security or did the authorities let him go?

In any event the authorities hunt you down for an unpaid 'speeding ticket' and incarcerate you if not paid.

It's all about the money and something called Financial Terrorism, which this sort of alleged 'terrorism' by extremists is a drop in the ocean compared to Financial  Terrorism.

Queensland Police Harassment

A YouTube video has been posted under the name:

Queensland Police Harassment

on the 11th of January 2014, that can be classified as being 'viral', documenting an encounter with police by a rider when filling up at a petrol station.

At the time of this post, the video has been seen over 644550 times with a thumbs up of 4153, and thumbs down of 1026 votes by viewers of that video.

Also there have been approximately 518 comments on the video.

There has been a wide cross section of comments on the video, ranging from personal attacks, speculation to comments about the law, which clearly indicate that the person commenting has no idea of the law.

First and foremost, the public needs to understand the law when it comes to being on Australian roads, which from the thumbs down or disapproval and negative comments regarding the video, show the ignorance of the masses.

There are many laws that are deliberately keep from public knowledge in order to succumb to corporate rule.

Here are some facts regarding the law when one is a road user:

  • The police have no right to stop you unless they have seen you commit a crime for which you are going to be charged for on the spot.


  • You do not have to show your 'driver's license' to anyone. It can be presented later at a police station if so required.

  • You are ONLY obliged to provide your name and address, which can be your work address and dos not have to be residential.

  • One does not have to answer ANY other question, that is asked by a police officer, and the polite response can be whether one is obliged to answer that question, or along the line that one does not have to answer that question.

The police will try to intimidate, by either force, numbers or threats of arrest.

The woman police officer at the beginning of the video, who 'deliberately' identifies herself with a muffled voice, from Beenleigh Police station has little or no cause for her questions to the owner of the motorcycle.

This video has been dissected in detail at various legal practices, as to the legitimacy of the overwhelming harassing police presence at the service station, of which the words and actions of the police will not be discussed in this article, but may be raised at a later date.

Quite simply put, this is unnecessary harassment in preparation for the next stage, that being officially a 'police state'.
