Officer's job under review, homicide squad called in, as advocates call out police handling of 95yo tasering

Clare Nowland was at Yallambee Lodge in Cooma when staff called NSW Police to the facility

An advocacy group representing people with disabilities has criticised a senior constable for his use of a taser on a 95-year-old woman with dementia at her Cooma aged care facility.

Key points:

• A NSW Police critical incident investigation will be independently reviewed
• People with Disability Australia said the situation should have been de-escalated by police
• The woman's family has declined to comment

Great-grandmother Clare Nowland is in a critical condition at Cooma Base Hospital after the incident at the Yallambee Lodge, where she was tasered by police and fell to the ground, hitting her head. 

A senior constable, who now has his duty status under review, discharged his taser on Ms Nowland after they were called to the lodge by staff, who believed the 95-year-old was carrying a knife. 

NSW Police have confirmed the state's homicide squad will be investigating the incident.   

Clare Nowland remains in a critical condition at Cooma  Base Hospital

"She’s either one hell of an agile, fit, fast and intimidating 95-year-old woman, or there’s a very poor lack of judgement on those police officers and there really needs to be some accountability on their side," Ms Lee said. 

"This woman, an older woman of 95, she needed somebody to de-escalate the situation with her and to talk to her, and to handle her with compassion and time and not tasers."

She said the use of force by police against people with disabilities was all too common. 

"Clearly, there's not enough training for police around de-escalation tactics for people with psychosis or Alzheimer's or dementia, for people living with psychosocial disability, autism, or schizophrenia, or anything like that," Ms Lee said.

Yallambee Lodge in Cooma is run by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, which has declined to comment.

Ms Lee said the aged-care sector should also do more to manage incidents involving people with dementia without using force. 

"The fact that they've gone to police shows that there's a failure of protocols somewhere along the way, or a lack of resources or understanding on their behalf on the service's behalf on how to handle this situation."

NSW Police commissioner Karen Webb said the investigation will be subject to an independent review.

"My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time," she said.

"I understand and share the community concerns and assure you that we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness." 

Ms Lee said the incident demonstrated a lack of training in how to de-escalate a situation

NSW Seniors Rights Service spokesperson Margaret Crothers said it was hard to comment on the case without more detail, but added the situation did not demonstrate normal practice in aged care.

"It must raise concerns, no one wants their grandmother or their mother tasered. 

“Everyone is concerned about the use of restraint and certainly the use of force from either police or staff and it’s just something that everyone is mindful of in aged care."

There would had to have been an assessment as to the danger to the older woman herself and for the other residents and the staff, she said.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council said it was supporting staff, residents and Ms Nowland's family.

The great-grandmother had previously volunteered at a charity store in Cooma, before suffering from dementia in recent years.

Her family are by her bedside in hospital and have declined to comment on the incident.

Yallambee Lodge in Cooma, which is run by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, opened in 1995.

According to its website, Yallambee Lodge offers "palliative care" and can cater to residents with "higher needs".

How real estate agents get away with selling dodgy properties

The colony’s laws have been set up to benefit actions in business/commerce/trade.

The tax system has been (deliberately) geared up to the benefit of corporations, many avoid paying tax altogether for their entire business existence. 

Throughout all this unfairness ‘persons’ who participate in the economy have been classified as ‘consumers’, where consumer law has been introduced to give an illusion of fairness.

Sure, many examples can be brought up in court cases where the corporations ‘lost’ and the consumer allegedly won.

Australia is a protectionist nation, and will go to any lengths to keep this, irrespective of how the ‘consumer’ is harmed, as long as the government isn’t.

One industry that is allowed to continue racketeering is the real estate industry, because the government directly benefits from this.

IF a licenced motor car trader sells an automobile, checks & balances must be made, where the road-worthiness of the vehicle must be proved with the appropriate paperwork.

The onus is then on the (licenced) seller.

No such luck in the the real estate market.

In MANY instances a residential dwelling is presented to a prospective ‘consumer’ and the realtor is fully aware of the dwellings pitfalls, which are deliberately hidden from the purchaser.

Not only this, but the agent is absolved from any responsibility or liability, where a 180 is done and this falls on the purchaser, under a scam called ‘due diligence’.

In Victoria, the ‘due diligence’ checklist falls under the responsibility of the ‘consumer’ as stated in the institution called Consumer Affairs Victoria, at the time of this post, under the address: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/duediligencechecklist

As we know the more the dwelling sells for the more the government benefits, raking in the dollars, therefore exposing any problems before a sale will lower the sale price of the property, therefore costing the government, therefore there is no benefit for the government to implement any law to protect the ‘consumer’ in this regard.

Another scam ‘supported’ by the colonial government.

Scammers sending fake Telstra mail

(source:supplied)

When people think of scammers, many might have the idea in mind that sophisticated hooks are embedded in emails or websites or smartphone related communications.

But scammers have gone 'old school' for quite some time.

Scammers have enlisted Australia Post to deliver their fraudulent message (fake envelope on the right), as they have done so for over a decade in relation to another scam that the government has failed to act on, early in the piece, where some people are still receiving those types of letters.

In relation to the Telstra scam, the scammers have gotten hold of the customer's full name and address, stating that they have been trying to contact that person.

In the letter, there is a phone number which the scammers are in possession of, in order to steal more information to commit fraud.

Scammers have used Australia Post previously to con businesses to 'renew' their internet domain name.

The scammer's letter looks like it's a renewal for the targeted business, where in the scam letter there will be number zero (0), instead of the letter 'O', or any other character that will be different from the legitimately registered internet address.

Domain Name Group Fraud

Microsoft enforcing its internet browser needs a reminder like in the good ol' days.

Microsoft is again engaging in anti-competitive behaviour without any court action.

It's 'forcing' its users to use the inbuilt browser, instead of allowing the user to freely choose competitive products.

Last time this occurred, Microsoft was in the courts and as a result it was fined.

No such action even after months of this fraudulent activity?

Governments around the world are subservient or 'sympathetic' towards Big Data corporations.

Australia’s corrupt legal system hears C-19 matter

A legal matter of state or national importance in relation to a so called government mandated jab, has an originating motion not within a court but a tribunal, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to be exact, how pathetic.

To make matters worse, since state tribunals are not courts they cannot exercise judicial powers.

See link: https://constitutionwatch.com.au/state-tribunals-are-not-courts-and-cannot-exercise-judicial-powers/

Also, a tribunal cannot exercise power in a hearing and determining a complaint under a state Act.

See: https://constitutionwatch.com.au/no-jurisdiction-for-tribunal-to-exercise-judicial-power-in-hearing-and-determining-a-complaint-under-the-state-act/

A hearing was held within VCAT with regards to a woman obtaining a life saving heart operation which was denied by the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne for her not succumbing to obtain an injection that allegedly vaccinates the person against the disease called COVID-19.

This hearing was held in March 2023 over a few days from the 17th to the 21st, where it was also streamed via Zoom.

What about if one does not consent to one’s matter being streamed via Zoom for not just Australia to see, but the whole world?

No court reporters or mainstream media ‘advertising’ about such an important matter?

Well, to be fair, VCAT is not a court.

As one would be aware when the opposing parties sit at the bar table, they sprawl their paperwork over the area of their respective sides in order to put through their argument, before the ‘member’, the person they both consented to in hearing their arguments.

After a while humans need nourishment, where a lunch break, mandates a halt in the proceedings where the whole room is evacuated.

It is not out of the norm to leave one’s paperwork at the table, before vacating for a well deserved break.

That’s what one party did, whereas the other party packed up the documentation prior to exiting with it in a small luggage suitcase on wheels.

What happened next is quite odd, and definitely outside of the norm.

When the room was empty, after a few minutes, the member and her 'accomplice' went back into the room and started to sift through paperwork on the benches.

Why is it necessary to find some paperwork during a 'lunch break', where it cannot wait until everyone resumes?

Is there a document that was to be removed or referred to?

If this is a 'conspiracy theory' as some may suggest, then why cannot this document be referred with everyone present and most importantly 'on the record'?

After scurrying through the benches for whatever, the 'accomplice' then noticed that the camera was still 'rolling', where that problem as soon attended to.

What was the public not allowed to see?

Isn't this supposed to be a public matter, well and truly in the 'interest of the public'?

Will the mainstream media ever mention of this?

From what can be gathered on-line, the first time the mainstream media mentioned Ms Derderian was a couple of days ago, yet a hearing was a foot in March, and all the people heard was, crickets.

Australia’s corrupt medical system has blood on its hands?

Quite simply put, the hospital, that being the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, that has refused a life saving operation for a mother of two, Vicki Derderian, aged 47 should be sued.

Not only that, but also the persons responsible for this decision should also be charged criminally, never to ‘practice’ medicine ever again.

The reason that Ms Derderian’s life is not being saved is stated by the hospital that it is because she has not taken a drug advertised as a COVID-19 ‘vaccine’.

Irrespective from which manufacturer, in Australia the drug that many persons have taken is not a ‘vaccine’.

For it to be a ‘vaccine’ the drug must confer immunity, which it does not.

See U.S. Supreme Court Document from the 4th of November 2021, within the link:

It was distributed to the general population under EUA (Emergency Use Authorisation), where the general population’s data was part of the trial, as stated by the federal Health Minister Mr. Greg Hunt, on a government website on the 21st of February 2021.

Even Israel was ‘surprised and disappointed’ that the drug did not stop transmission.

On the 5th of May 2023, the WHO stated that the so called virus is no longer a global health emergency.

Microsoft takes 5 years to fix Defender 'bug' should be in the courts

Microsoft not only should be in the courts for anti competitive behaviour but also fined for it.

Microsoft has (deliberately) not addressed a piece of code that was killing Firefox performance.

MANY people may have thought that Mozilla's Firefox product was inferior in quality to the alternative Microsoft product or that the programmers were lazy or incompetent.

The truth was that Microsoft was (deliberately) sabotaging Mozilla's product.

Too many calls to the Windows kernel were stealing Firefox's thunder.

Why it matters: Microsoft has released a crucial bug-fixing update to its Windows Defender antimalware application. Its arrival means that some unlucky Firefox users should now get a much smoother and better-performing experience while browsing the web.

Update (April 11): The Mozilla developer who worked on fixing this performance issue and reported it to Microsoft added the following on a Reddit thread, clarifying the nature of the bugfix:

"The impact of this fix is that on all computers that rely on Microsoft Defender's Real-time Protection feature (which is enabled by default in Windows), MsMpEng.exe will consume much less CPU than before when monitoring the dynamic behavior of any program through ETW (Event Tracing for Windows)."

"For Firefox this is particularly impactful because Firefox (not Defender!) relies a lot on VirtualProtect - which is monitored by MsMpEng.exe through ETW. We expect that on all these computers, MsMpEng.exe will consume around 75% less CPU than it did before when it is monitoring Firefox."

The original story follows below:

For more than five years, the security protection provided by Microsoft Defender was negatively affecting Firefox users during their web browsing sessions. The Antimalware Service Executable component of Defender (MsMpEng.exe) was acting strange, showing a high CPU usage when Firefox was running at the same time.

Users were complaining that Defender was stressing the CPU while the Mozilla browser became laggy and unresponsive. The issue was first reported 5 years ago, and it was seemingly a Firefox exclusive as it was sparing Edge and other third-party browsers like Chrome.

In March 2023, Mozilla developers were able to finally discover the source of the issue: Firefox relies and executes a very high number of calls to the OS kernel's VirtualProtect function while tracing Windows events (ETW). VirtualProtect is a function to change the "protection on a region of committed pages in the virtual address space of the calling process," Microsoft explains, and Defender was doing a lot of "useless computations" upon each event while Firefox was generating a lot of ETW events.

This was an "explosive" combination that was using five times the CPU power with Firefox compared to other browsers, the Mozilla developers said. The open-source foundation worked with Microsoft to solve the issue for good, and Redmond finally delivered with a recent update for Defender's antimalware engine (1.1.20200.2).

After testing the bugfix for a while, the solution was delivered to the stable channel with updated Defender anti-malware definitions on April 4 (mpengine.dll version 1.1.20200.4) and the bug was finally closed.

Mozilla developers said that the Defender update would provide a massive ~75% improvement in CPU usage from MsMpEng.exe while browsing the web with Firefox. With the fix, Defender's Real-time Protection feature - which is enabled by default in Windows - will consume less CPU than before when monitoring the dynamic behavior of any program through ETW.

Microsoft is also bringing the update to now obsolete Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems, as Firefox will keep supporting the two operating systems "at least" until 2024. Furthermore, Mozilla engineers said that the "latest discoveries" made while analyzing the weird Defender bug would help Firefox "go even further down in CPU usage," with all other antivirus software and not just Defender this time.

Alarm over number of 'sex pests' in police force

IBAC report finds sex pests remain a problem for the force

Victoria’s anti-corruption body has found predatory sexual behaviour is rife within police ranks, with victims of crimes among those most at risk.

New data released by IBAC reveals that 68 per cent of all complaints received in 2022 were related to Victoria Police, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean.

Victoria’s peak weak anti-corruption body has found predatory sexual behaviour is still a problem within police ranks.

The review, conducted by the independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), assessed 27 Victoria Police internal investigations into alleged predatory behaviour between 2018 and 2022.

Its aim was to scrutinise the thoroughness of those investigations and whether appropriate sanctions were dealt.

But despite findings that Victoria Police handle most allegations of predatory behaviour well, with a “victim-centred” approach, IBAC has found evidence sex pests remain a problem for the force.

IBAC Deputy Commissioner Kylie Kilgour said predatory behaviour involves an officer misusing their position to begin, or attempt to begin, an emotional or sexual relationship with someone they meet in the course of their duties.

“It can also relate to the sexual assault, stalking, harassment or grooming of a person,” Ms Kilgour said.

“Despite efforts undertaken by Victoria Police over recent years, our review shows that predatory behaviour continues.

“We found women experiencing domestic or family violence were targets of predatory behaviour by police officers and more than half of all cases reviewed indicated a pattern of behaviour by the perpetrator against more than one person.”

Consensual relationships within Victoria Police can be considered predatory due to power imbalance or other circumstances.

Victoria Police, in 2014, set up Taskforce Salus, to investigate predatory behaviour within the force.

Police officers, to date, are not required to declare intimate relationships in the workplace.

More than half the cases reviewed indicated a level of tolerance for inappropriate behaviour or inaction by managers after an allegation is reported to them. 

However, IBAC found most Victoria Police investigations into predatory behaviour made findings based on the evidence.

Sanctions for predatory behaviour were consistent with public expectations, IBAC found, but in some cases investigators were receiving “problematic” advice from the forces Discipline Advisory Unit.

Recommendations given to Victoria Police to reduce predatory behaviour have been accepted.

The recommendations include:

•Improvements to Victoria Police’s employee training, complaint investigation reporting and record keeping

•Improvements to the advice provided by Victoria Police’s Legal Discipline Advisory Unit

•Clearer guidance for employees on the declaration and management of intimate or personal workplace relationships

•Increased monitoring of the ethical health of police officers who are subject to predatory behaviour allegations

IBAC will monitor their implementation.

White elephant $220million 1000-bed quarantine centre is given away for FREE after housing just 730 travellers - at a cost of $300,000 a person

• QLD Wellcamp Facility handed over to Wagner Coperation
• The $220m qurantine camp only held 730 over 14 months
• It was operated at a cost of $300,000 per unvaxxed person

A $220million quarantine centre has been handed over to a property magnate after housing just 730 tourists at the 1,000-bed facility over 14 months. 

The Wellcamp facility near Toowoomba, 127kms west of Brisbane, was gifted to the Wagner Corporation on Saturday after acting as a quarantine camp for unvaccinated tourists last year.

The facility went largely unused during the pandemic after completing construction in February 2022 just as covid restrictions were easing nationwide.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced prior to construction that Queensland would pay for the entire project after a political spat with then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

Now Josh Wagner and the Wagner Corporation will inherit the facility without cost when the government's lease expires.

The $220 million Wellcamp facility near Toowoomba, QLD, was handed over to the Wagner Corporation after only taking in 730 people in 14 months 

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced prior to construction that Queensland would pay for the project, which ended up operating at a cost of more than $300,000 per person

Wagner, one of the state's wealthiest men, says the area will become part of a $175 million entertainment precinct.

'This is the worst decision ever made by a state government on behalf of taxpayers,' Deputy Opposition Leader Jarrod Bleijie told the Courier-Mail.

'The Premier has never apologised for it and she should because Queenslanders will be paying the price for this waste for a long time to come.

'It's a $500,000 a day check-out bill that could have helped Queenslanders in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.'

The anticipated 'Wellcamp Entertainment Precinct', will temporarily house agriculture staff before transforming into a private hotel.

While the facility operated as a quarantine base, the number of people entering the country that were required to use it never exceeded the number of its beds.

The 730 who did use it during its ill-fated tenure equates to a cost of more than $300,000 per person.

Deputy Premier and Planning Minister Steven Miles defended the development of the site, insisting that it aided the state's post-pandemic recovery effort.

'This supported our economic recovery and ensured the safety of Queenslanders,' Mr Miles said.

'The day before the government announced our intention to build Wellcamp, in August 2021, we had to pause interstate arrivals because all our quarantine hotels were full.

'There were 5114 people across 22 quarantine hotels at the highest point and multiple outbreaks caused by hotel leaks.'

While the camp was empty, humanitarian groups pleaded with the Premier to allow people in need, including the homeless, to stay there but were repeatedly turned down.

The Wellcamp facility will now become part of a $127 million 'Wellcamp Entertainment Precinct', currently under-development by the Wagner Corporation

The centre began construciton during Australia's peak-pandemic period but only opened in Febraury 2022 as restrictions were already easing 

The Wellcamp facility primarily took in unvaccinated tourists who needed to quarantine in accordance with Queensland's mandate international travel.

Now the project is being probed by the Queensland Auditor-General, who is working on a probe into the costs and decisions that led to the commissioning of the site.

This probe is expected to be completed within the next two months.

As Brisbane prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Mr Wagner told The Courier-Mail that he hoped the precinct would become a legacy infrastructure project.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Premier Palaszczuk's office and the Wagner Corporation for comment.
