Please, could you help organise people to come to one of the last court appearances I have – before my criminal trial – that is occurring on Monday, 11 November 2024.
(the trial does not currently have a schedulesd date)
This hearing is at the District Court of South Australia (South-West corner of Victoria Square).
We will determine our success, or otherwis. of my special leave application to the High Court, shortly before this hearing.
I know many of you well. I ask,sincerely, that if you know a professional group in Adelaide, that if you could advise them of my request, and that a good time to attend in front of the domed District Court building 🏛️ , would be from 9:00am to 9:30 am.
My hearing is ar 9:30 am.
.
2/ I firmly believe that as a citizen of this democracy, I have the right to ask you to participate in this manner.
Remember when the ancient Greeks had juries of up to 500 citizens in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, and that’s just for regular trials?
Crowds of people have a way of conveying public sentiment when it is being misgoverned.
Could you imagine being a jury in Ancient Greece of 1501 fellow citizens, for a “very important or political trial”?
Now that is a National Anti Corruption Commisionn if ever I saw one.
We have lost our way.
.
3/ Plea form support:
I have taken this whistleblowing as far as I can. This has been going for eight long years for me.
@LouiseBeaston and I are at breaking point. correction, we broke some time ago. But we continue on nonetheless, albeit slower and slower, as we are depleted of all that we have to give.
If you believe that what I did prevented another #Robodebt , by stopping the abuse of power dead in its tracks – which it did; and if you are in good physical and mental, financial health etc….
…can you spare a phone call for me, to try to get people to attend from 9:00 to 9:30 am on Monday, 11 Nov in Adelaide?
.
4. I have nothing left to give before I finally take the stand in an eventual criminal trial, for two weeks or so; telling my side of the story, when everyone knows what I did, and why I did it.
There was no other way to stop it.
That the law that was supposed to protect me, and was poorly drafted, and has ultimately completely failed up until this point, was besides my point of view in my obligations or reasonings at the time.
I has no idea trying to access these #WhistleblowerProtections that our Attorney General is apparently so proud of, was going to be such a shit show.
.
5. I didn’t blow the whistle and stop the ATO’s oppressive actions against the public because we had a (poorly drafted) PID Act that I thought would protect me.
I had no such disillusions.
I blew the whistle because the public was being put at significant risk of harm to their health and welfare, and it was my legal obligation under the Public Service Act to speak out against such malfeasance, in a concerted and determined attempt to stop the risk to public health and safety.
There is no other way to blow the whistle than hard and loud, once all other avenues have been exhausted, and have failed.
I knew it wasn’t going to end well, that was crystal clear.
Yet, it still had to the done.
.
6. I will be arriving at the District Court of South Australia at 9:15 am.
You can obviously behave in any civilised way you please; however, out of deep respect for our Judiciary, I will be making no acknowledgement of your presence.
My request to you for your presence; is seperate from my presence required by law, to appear as a defendant.
Appearing in court is serious business, and I dress and behave appropriately and respectfull; bow when entering into, and out of, a court room in session – or when a Judge or Justice initiates and concludes proceedings, as we all should before the authority of the Court.
Thank you for reading this request; and thank you for your continued support over many, many years.

2. At a Senate inquiry into the performance of the Inspector General of Taxation, which acts as the watchdog for the Australian Taxation Office, the whistleblower outlined how the system had failed him.
