COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (ABN: 122 104 616)
Australia's Prime Minister (CEO) Tony Abbott : "Australia is Open for Business"
In light
with what’s been revealed in the corporate media recently with regards to Victoria
Police (sexual harassment horror) , and the relentless criminal activity within the ‘force’, many people
are being left exposed and vulnerable to the criminal actions of police.
If you’ve
had involvement with police in the court system you could be all too aware of
the criminal activities of the police.
From police
men (e.g Eugene Matthews from Melbourne’s Sunshine Magistrates’ Court) stating that
they have shredded court filed documents, to police falsifying evidence and
lying (providing false information) against you in the courtroom.
You may
feel you have been ‘done by law’.
You most
probably have been ‘done by law’ and not even know it.
So the
police have committed criminal activity against you and what can you do about
it?
The same
thing they do to you – you can ‘charge’ them.
“But can I
really do that” asks the ‘footy fanatic’??? !!! ???
Once again the Victorian Government is responsible for (deliberate?) failure of governance with respect to keeping people safe in their place of work.
How can the community 'feel' safe if the police 'force' is rife with discrimination, thugs, even criminals who are in a position of power and ready and willing to abuse people including the general populous.
This is literally the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the criminal activities of Victoria Police.
Make no mistake about it Victoria Police is rife with criminal activity.
You cannot 'respect' an organisation that rules with fear, force intimidation, and threats of incarceration for no crime committed, just to 'teach you a lesson'!

A review into sexual harassment within Victoria Police has been released

sexual abuse and harassment within Victoria Police. Picture: Ian Currie
HORROR
stories have been leaked by female Victoria Police officers in a report
released today by the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights
Commission.
The report has looked into the scandalous culture of sexual harassment that exists within Victoria Police.
Former
Leading Senior Constable Nicki Lewis, who made a submission to the
VEOHRC review, said she was in a same-sex relationship when she was
subjected to false rumours, including that she had a sexually
transmitted disease, and was shunned by colleagues.
The female colleague who she said spread the rumours once threatened to taser, baton or shoot her, she said.
“When I talked about this with a male colleague he said, ‘Oh, that other lesbian’,” she told ABC’s 7.30 program on Tuesday night.
“He
minimised what was happening by treating it like it was just some
lesbian drama. That sort of homophobic attitude is common.”
Her
formal complaint was eventually dismissed and she was ordered to
transfer to another station, but Ms Lewis said the ordeal left her
shattered and pushed her out of the force and on to a disability
pension.
Victoria’s first female Chief Commissioner, Christine
Nixon, told the ABC there was a “persistent, resistant old guard” within
the force that made it difficult to remove bullies.
In November
last year, then-Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said reports from 20 officers
of alleged discrimination and harassment prompted the review by VEOHRC.
“There are men in this organisation whose behaviour towards women is reprehensible,” he said.
Cases
included a supervisor who ostracised junior members so they would
engage in sexual conduct, while another member groomed shy staff and
made relentless sexual advances.
Graham Ashton calls for respect

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the report was
commissioned by police a year ago to investigate sexual harassment,
predatory behaviour and sex discrimination within the force.
“The
report leaves no doubt we have an issue with sexual harassment,
predatory behaviour and sex discrimination in our organisation,” Mr
Ashton said.
“I want to say from the outset — I accept all of the
recommendations made by VEOHRC for Victoria Police and will action every
single one.
“It saddens me that so many of our staff have had to endure terrible experiences, but our resolve for action is firm.
“The
change starts today. Our response to this report will be all
encompassing. I have appointed Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius to
lead this vitally important work.”
Chief Commissioner Ashton said
police would front the issue head on so Victoria Police could better
support victims of sexual harassment.
The VEOHRC review has made suggestions to Victoria Police, some of which will be enforced today.
A
safe space where victims can go for confidential support will be set
up. They will be able to seek help before they make an official
complaint.
In the next three to six months, the complaints process will be revamped with the creation of a Workplace Harm Unit.
It will examine complaints and refer them on to the appropriate body for investigation.
This will eliminate the existing process for local management to investigate complaints in their own workplace
Police can now access a Workplace Harm Hotline where referrals and advice can be provided.
Chief Commissioner Ashton said these changes were just a glint of what needed to be done.
“This means that over the next few years, there will be many changes made to the work environment,” he said.
“The expectations of behaviour will be backed up by clear consequences for those who cannot change and adapt.
“It is going to be challenging. It is going to be difficult. But we will not hide from it.”
The actions
of the people in the corporation conglomerate (nee government), are far from ‘honourable’,
they're secretive, where fraudulent tenders are submitted for ‘money for mates’ deals,
that defraud the hard working Australian ‘mums and dads’ taxpayers billions of
dollars with no repercussions.
How many
families have lost their home as a result of the fraudulent actions by the
unlawful entity, the ATO (Australian Tax Office), but don’t count on the
corporate media to expose this gigantic criminal activity by the ‘Australian
Government’
Oh but that’s
a ‘conspiracy theory’ the corporate media will tell the plebs.....

The above photo has been used by 'conspiracy theorists' with regards to the Sandy Hook massacre.
Nah not at
all, there’s a fair few court cases that prove the illegitimate operations of the ATO.
Some cases
are not even on the public record, classified as ‘RESTRICTED’, so that the people
don’t catch on of the government fraudulent actions.
Are these
the actions of an ‘honest’ government or a corporation ruling with unlawfully with
fear, extortion and intimidation?
The
corporate media has been invited to many a court case that exposes government
corruption, but only to be greeted with silence and no (email) response
whatsoever.

East West Link: Cost of scrapping project more than
$1.1 billion, auditor-general says
The cost to taxpayers of scrapping Melbourne's East West Link
road project has topped $1.1 billion, Victoria's auditor-general has found.
Key points:
Auditor-general
says decision to sign contract for East West Link based on flawed advice
Report
says key decisions driven by overriding sense of urgency before state
election
Report
says costs incurred by the state had few tangible benefit for taxpayers
In a scathing report tabled in Parliament, Dr Peter Frost condemned both
sides of politics for wasting public money and criticised the state's public
servants for sometimes failing to provide frank and fearless advice.
He said the former Napthine government's decision to sign the contract so
close to the last state election was based on flawed advice.
"The advice provided to the then-government was disproportionately
aimed at achieving contract execution prior to the 2014 state election rather
than being in the best interests of the project or use of taxpayers' money,"
he said.
The acting auditor-general also found shortfalls in terminating the
contract, with the state incurring costs in excess of $1.1 billion "with
little tangible benefit for taxpayers".
The bill will be partially offset by the sale of properties acquired for the
project, worth an estimated $320 million.
The total cost of the termination settlement will be $642 million, despite
Premier Daniel Andrews' election pledge that the contract could be ripped up at
no cost because it was not worth the paper it was written on.
The East West Connect consortium was contracted to build the 18-kilometre
road connecting the Eastern Freeway at Hoddle Street to CityLink, the Port of
Melbourne and on to the Western Ring Road.
But the auditor-general said key decisions were driven by an overriding
sense of urgency to sign the contract before last November's election, even
though the project was being legally challenged.
"Signing the contract in these circumstances was imprudent and exposed
the state to significant cost and risk," the report said.
Public servants 'scared' of providing frank advice
The auditor-general said advice to the Coalition in the lead up to the
signing of the contract fell short, because it did not sufficiently assess the
benefits of "delaying finalisation of the procurement and contract to
mitigate the risks posed by the unresolved judicial review".
Labor promised to dump the East West Link if it won the election, but the
auditor-general said the project was terminated "without full
consideration of the merits of continuing with the project".
"The new Government was not provided with updated comprehensive
information on the impacts of completing the project versus the option of
cancelling it," the report said.
"This meant it was deprived of comprehensive advice to assure it that
termination was the best use of public funds.
It shows [the former government] as nothing more than political opportunists
gambling billions of taxpayers' dollars.
Tim Pallas, Victorian Treasurer
"Some public officials involved in this audit indicated that providing
frank and fearless advice when they believe a government does not want to
receive it will negatively impact their influence or career
opportunities."
The Andrews Government was also criticised for failing to adequately ensure
some of the settlement payment was not a windfall gain to contractors connected
to the consortium.
Treasurer Tim Pallas said the report had torn the Liberal Party's economic
credibility to shreds.
"It shows them as nothing more than political opportunists gambling
billions of taxpayers' dollars in an attempt to buy their way back into
office," he said.
But the Opposition's Michael O'Brien accused Labor of lying to Victorians.
"Daniel Andrews promised Victorians no compensation would be paid, the
contract wasn't worth the paper it was written on, now we know the cost of that
lie," he said.
"$1.1 billion could buy us a new Royal Children's Hospital."
If it had been built, the entire East West Link project would have costs in
excess of $22.8 billion in nominal terms, the report said.
The Herald Sun publication has stated in their article that the "Police have changed laws".
While this may not mean much to the (below) average 'footy fan' or anyone who comprehends Australia's legal procedure, apart from 'facebook lawyers' who obtain their 'legal' information from memes, laws can ONLY be made and passed by parliament. Before an 'idea' becomes law, the Bill passes through stages where it becomes an Act, whereby it's called 'law'. This law can then only be amended again by none other than the parliament. If this actually did occur that the 'police changed laws' then Australian have a huge problem that the police have acted outside their capacity. Many comprehend that Australia's police 'force' is corrupt from the core, but if true this is a huge concern. What the corporate media WILL NOT TELL you is that all speed camera and red light camera fines are unlawful.
Read the Herald Sun article from 15 October 2013 of the title:
New rules allow speed cameras to be concealed, but police say it's OK to flash lights and warn others
POLICE say they are happy for drivers to flash their lights to warn other motorists about speed cameras.
Traffic Superintendent Dean McWhirter today said he was happy for
motorists to flash their lights to warn other motorists they were
approaching a speed camera.
"If that occurs I am comfortable with that because it means actually people are getting the message," Supt McWhirter said today.
New speed camera rules explained
Supt McWhirter also defended rule changes, revealed in the Herald Sun today, which allow the hiding of speed cameras behind bushes and road signs.
"It was done to make sure that there was some protection in relation to the mobile speed camera operators," he said.
"To make sure the risk to them is mitigated.
"Unfortunately,
what we know is that there have been a number of incidents where mobile
speed camera vehicles have been swerved at.
"In the last 12 months there have been 247 incidents of threats in relation to mobile speed camera operators.
"And of those 247 incidents, 110 of those have been swerving at mobile speed cameras."
Supt McWhirter confirmed there would be occasions that operators would be concealed by bushes or signs to protect them.
"That's a commonsense approach," he said.
Police have changed laws that means mobile speed cameras can be hidden.
The force policy used to say that "under no circumstances" were cameras to be concealed by any covert means.
It also used to ban them on downhill stretches of road unless the site had a significant speed-related crash record.
The
new rules - effective immediately - permit mobile speed cameras to be
hidden behind trees, bushes, posts and road signs to lessen the risk of
harm to camera operators from angry motorists.
They also allow
them to be used at the bottom of hills and on slopes if the "road safety
objective" can't be achieved at an alternative location.
"There
is no restriction from a technical, legislative or enforcement
perspective on a mobile road safety camera being operated on a slope,
hill or gradient," the new rules say.
The force spent months creating its new policy after the Herald Sun revealed
some cameras were being hidden despite the ban and also that fines had
to be scrapped because a camera was wrongly set up on a steep hill.
Almost 510,000 motorists paid more than $103 million in mobile speed camera fines in the past year.
Mobile speed cameras will now be able to be concealed or parked on hills.
Victoria Police yesterday defended the changes to the mobile
speed camera policy, saying they included recommendations made by speed
camera commissioner Gordon Lewis.
"The amendments were made to
specifically focus on the occupational health and safety of mobile speed
camera operators, which is paramount in ensuring they can work in a
safe environment," force spokesman Leonie Johnson said.
Police told Mr Lewis the use of concealed or partly hidden cameras was necessary to protect camera operators from injury.
Mr
Lewis yesterday congratulated Victoria Police for clearly spelling out
its mobile speed camera policy in a document that will be publicly
available on the camerassavelives.vic.gov.au website.
Police using mobile radar guns monitor motorists on the Western Ring Road.
"Transparency and clarity are fundamental to the motoring public's trust in the road safety camera system," he said
Police rewrote the rules after Mr Lewis asked Herald Sun readers in October last year to report any mobile speed cameras they believed were being used in breach of force guidelines.
He did so after the Herald Sun revealed
speeding fines had to be scrapped because a mobile camera was wrongly
set up over the brow of a hill to snap motorists going down a steep
slope on Warrigal Rd, Surrey Hills.
Mr Lewis's plea to Herald Sun readers resulted in reports about 116 mobile camera sites they believed breached Victoria Police guidelines.

His nine-month probe found in each case the cameras had been set up fairly and according to the guidelines.
While
he did identify three camera sites that were placed on unsuitable
downhill stretches of road, he agreed with the decisions of regional
police inspectors to override the rules and allow the use of cameras on
those hills for safety reasons.
Mr Lewis said it was Herald Sun readers who discovered the controversial hidden camera tactic.
He
asked Victoria Police for a ``please explain'' and was told the hidden
cameras identified by the readers were put behind shrubs and road signs
to protect the camera operators.
Mr Lewis was shown CCTV footage
shot from inside a number of camera vehicles showing cars and trucks
being driven at camera cars.
Police told him the drivers were ``deliberately intimidating'' the speed camera operators.

Apparently according to the corporate media, Aussie footballers are 'heros' and 'stars' and should be looked up to (by the children of the cannon fodder)?
The ancient game of throwing a ball / Chrisitan's head / rock, has been on the scene for quite some time, even dating back to neanderthal times.
Well it looks like those 'neanderthal times' are alive and well within the 'culture' of Australian football (see illustration below of Dustin Martin).
The pissed Aussie bogan / moron / f^ckwit who calls himself a 'footballer' can get away with threats intimidation AND the all time favourite (of footballers) being derogatory towards women.
WHAT AUSSIE HEROS are the dumbass morons!!! !!! !!!
Absolutely pathetic!
But remember folks - You're AUSTRALIAN if you're not a 'footy fanatic'.
More like you're 'unAustralian' if you don't know the 'Australian Constitution'.
When you have ‘dealings’ with the police for example with a ‘speeding’
or traffic ‘fine’,your comments and the
actions of the police ‘person’ must be noted down which is referred to as their
contemporaneous notes.
The notes are supposed to reflect an accurate description of
what really occurred.
Sometimes these notes can also be the officer’s undoing.
It is almost certain that the average Joe is not fully aware
of police procedures and most definitely the term contemporaneous is not part
of the lay person’s vocabulary.
It is with this deception that the ‘charged’ person is not
getting a fair hearing, based on the facts that police are concealing vital
evidence.
If you have ANY dealings with police, make sure you ask for
the contemporaneous notes in a place of business / trading / commerce called the ‘court’.
The fraud goes much deeper than this but for the
moment we are publishing this information as only one part of exposing the
fraud and corruption within the corporation known as Victoria Police.
This is how the executive behaves on a prison island, a penal colony, which it still is today. Private companies / superannuation funds calling themselves city councils or 'local government' do not have any legitimate right to you private information. Apparently 'privacy laws' are supposed to protect the plebs, but they [deliberately] do not. The companies commonly referred to as 'city councils' are currently trading unlawfully, which we have disclosed this information to the corporate media, but they choose not to public this information. Make no mistake about it - Australia is a corporate criminal's paradise.

Knox City Council has tripled its requests to access metadata. Photo: Wayne Hawkins
Two city councils in Melbourne and Sydney are increasingly spying on residents by finding out who they are calling and emailing.
Knox City Council in Melbourne's east is the worst offender, followed by Bankstown Council in Sydney's west.
Knox made 15 "metadata" requests in the year ended June 2015, up from just five in the previous year, according to a federal government report.
The
metadata may include phone numbers of people who called each other
and how long they talked to each other, or email addresses and what
times messages were sent. Access to it does not require a warrant.
Sometimes a request might simply be for who the owner of a certain phone number is and what their address is.
Bankstown was granted access to residents' metadata on 13 occasions, up from seven in the previous period.
Queensland's
Ipswich City Council, which made 21 requests in 2013-14, has cut down
on spying. It made just three metadata access requests in the year.
Melbourne's Darebin and Wyndham councils made one request each in 2013-14, but did not request any metadata this year.
However the number of requests by councils remains relatively steady overall, at 32 this year compared to 35 previously.
Other
government agencies accessing citizens' private communication
records include Australia Post, which made 625 requests in the period,
down from 810. Various racing authorities, the RSPCA and the Tax Office
are among other agencies that dip into metadata year after year.
A
spokesperson for Australia Post said it requests phone records from
telcos to chase people who steal phones or SIM cards from its stores, or
to pursue people who make "serious threats" to staff or engage in
corruption and fraud.
Overall requests up 9 per cent
The
overall number of request authorisations for telco data, including for
requests from police and other law enforcement agencies, leapt 9 per
cent to 365,728 in the year to June 2015.
However the number of
requests from non-law enforcement agencies, such as councils, fell
slightly from 4018 in 2013-14 to 3941 this year.
A spokesperson
for Bankstown Council said it had only accessed call records to place
people suspected of illegally dumping waste at the scene of the offence,
resulting in "a number of successful prosecutions". In one case around
20,000 tonnes of waste was dumped at five different sites, the
spokesperson said.
Knox City Council was asked to explain what it used metadata for, but has yet to respond.
In
previous years councils have admitted to using metadata to chase minor
infringements such as unauthorised advertising, unregistered pets, and
littering. Last year Sydney's Hills Shire Council told Fairfax it
used metadata to track down a roof cleaner who had polluted a river.
The
practice has become more common in a few short years. Back in the
2011-12 financial year, only two councils – Bankstown and Wyndham – were
accessing metadata.
Before mandatory data retention legislation
came into effect in October, a broad range of government agencies able
to issue fines or "protect public revenue" had been automatically
authorised to access citizens' metadata.
Since October – a period
which will be covered in next year's report – non-law enforcement
government agencies are required to apply directly to Attorney-General
George Brandis before they can access the data.
The
Attorney-General must consider a range of criteria when granting a
request, including whether the agency has a binding privacy scheme, and
whether the functions of the agency include investigating "serious
contraventions" of the law.
Fairfax is awaiting a response from
the Attorney-General's office as to which agencies, if any, have applied
to access metadata. The Australia Post spokesperson said Australia Post
was no longer accessing metadata.
Next year's report will also include detail on what metadata requests were used for.
It is well known within the 'force' that you have to meet quotas for speeding 'fines', arrests, etc.
So what's a 'person' (read police officer - TOTALLY different from police-man/woman) to do?
Why not keep everyone from the respective communities (police force (read - executive) and the general offending public) happy?
Has this police person got a conscious?
This person has confirmed what all police forces in every state deny that being the 'quota' system.
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC!
Make up your own mind from the article at dailyadvertiser.com.au from 4 Dec 2015 of the headline:
Gundagai highway patrol officer charged after allegedly issuing tickets to fictitious drivers so he could reach 'quota'
A local highway patrol officer has been charged in relation to issuing false tickets to fictional drivers.
CLAIMS
have emerged a Gundagai highway patrol officer issued speeding tickets
to fictitious foreign drivers so that he could reach an informal quota
set by his bosses.
The 39-year-old officer was charged last week on 16 counts of modifying restricted data held on a police computer.
He claimed he had caught 16 drivers from different countries speeding in and around Wagga
The false tickets were allegedly issued to international drivers that didn’t actually exist.
The
officer allegedly believed he would escape detection if the tickets
were made out to foreigners because the State Debt Recovery Office would
not pursue them once they’d returned overseas.
The officer is believed to be a senior constable attached to the highway patrol command. He will face court on January 6.
There is MUCH more criminal activity that is hidden from the general populous, but there is no doubt that there are plenty of 'rotten apple' in the 'force'.
The 'government' allows these people to still be employed in positions of 'power'
Australian taxpayers have to work nearly one-and-a-half weeks
full-time every year just to pay for subsidies and tax concessions for
the fossil fuel, superannuation and private health insurance industries,
according to the Australian Greens.
That figure is based on the
same formula used by Treasurer Joe Hockey last week when he warned
taxpayers had to work over four weeks every year ''just to pay for the
welfare of another Australian''.
Mr Hockey used his calculation to
explain to the right-leaning Sydney Institute last week why Australia's
welfare system was unsustainable.
''This year the Australian
government will spend on average over $6000 on welfare for every man,
woman and child in the country,'' Mr Hockey said.
''Given that only around 45 per cent of the population pays income
tax, the average Australian taxpayer must pay more than twice this
amount [over $12,000 a year] in tax to refund welfare expenditure.''
But the Greens say that Mr Hockey's calculation can work both ways.
When
taking into account the capital gains rebate, the private health
insurance rebate, the super tax concessions rebate, fossil fuel
subsidies and favourable tax for discretionary trusts, the ''average
worker'' must work 1.34 weeks full-time every year, or nearly $2000, to
pay for it, the Greens said.
''While Joe Hockey set out to falsely
pit those receiving welfare against those in work, the reality is that
the 'average worker' works two days a year to fund unemployment
benefits,'' the Deputy Greens Leader, Adam Bandt, told Fairfax Media.
''The
Greens aren't saying that all of these concessions and subsidies should
be removed tomorrow, but just that there should be a factual and
informed debate about who the 'end of the age of entitlement' is really
hitting.''
It comes after the latest Household, Income and Labour
Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey found working-age Australians have
become far less reliant on welfare payments since 2001. The study found
that 23 per cent of people aged 18 to 64 received welfare payments every
week in 2001, but by 2011 that number had fallen to 18.5 per cent.
Following
Mr Hockey's speech last week, an Australian Council of Trade Unions
(ACTU) economist, Matt Cowgill, published a graph showing where
taxpayers' money is actually spent in the welfare system.
It has
been replicated by Fairfax Media to match the government's assertion
that the average taxpayer pays more than $12,000 a year to fund welfare.
It
shows that each taxpayer will be asked to pay $3640 in 2014-15 to pay
for income support for seniors, while $1885 will go towards family tax
benefits.
Just $936 of taxpayers' money spent on the welfare system will go towards the sick and unemployed.
Mr
Hockey's office said the point of the analogy of full-time work was to
highlight the ''very high and growing expenditure on welfare''.
