Welcome
Until the late 1990s, the Australian government wholly owned Australia’s telephone network and the communications carrier, Telecom (today privatised and called Telstra). Telecom held the monopoly on communications and let the network deteriorate into disrepair. When four small business owners had severe communication problems, they went into arbitration with Telstra. The arbitrations were a sham: the appointed arbitrator not only allowed Telstra to minimise the Casualties of Telstra (COT) members’ claims and losses, but the arbitrator also bowed down to Telstra and let the carrier run the arbitrations. Telstra committed serious crimes during the arbitrations, yet the Australian government and the Australian Federal Police have not held Telstra or the other entities involved in this deceit.
Corruption poses an existential threat to prosperity, security, and democracy – for Australia and people worldwide. When officials steal from their citizens or oligarchs flout the rule of law, honest businesses cannot compete on a level playing field, poverty grows, the conflict between citizens deepens, and trust in government plummets. In recognition of this terrible threat, I have launched absentjustice.com as a testament showing corruption in the Australian government has existed, at least during and after the Vietnam War.
For a country like Australia to have traded with its enemies while its citizens are dying and being maimed because that trade partner, communist China, is supporting the war effort where Australia's citizens are being killed and maimed is the worst possible treacherous evil-doing by any country on this planet -Chapter 7- Vietnam - Vietcong.
Blowing the whistle
While in the midst of my arbitration case against the Telstra Corporation, I stumbled upon a freedom of information release by Telstra. The release disclosed that Telstra had documented and redacted my phone conversations with former Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Fraser (Senate Evidence File No/53). During those phone conversations, I expressed my concerns that Australia was providing wheat to China in 1967 despite being aware that China was redirecting it to North Vietnam. I'm curious to know how the interception of my telephone conversations during the arbitration proceedings in 1993 and 1994 with Malcolm Fraser is related to my exposure to the government on 18 September 1967 when Australia was trading with the enemy.
What intrigues me is the reason behind documenting a seemingly harmless conversation about Australia's wheat selling to China while being aware that China was supplying wheat to North Vietnam during a conflict with Australia, New Zealand and the United States. I am confident there must be a significant motive behind this, and I am determined to uncover it.
It's difficult to fathom the extent of harm inflicted on the young Australian, New Zealand, and United States service members by North Vietnam soldiers who were fueled by the wheat supplied to them by their communist Chinese supporters. Sadly, many of these brave service people lost their lives or were left with permanent injuries.
1. In September of 1967, I brought to the attention of the Australian government that a portion of the wheat allocated to the People's Republic of China on humanitarian grounds was being redirected to North Vietnam during the Vietnam War Chapter 7- Vietnam - Vietcong
2. Who else in the Australian government was aware that Australian wheat intended for a starving communist China was being redirected to North Vietnam to feed the North Vietnamese soldiers before those soldiers marched into the jungles of North Vietnam to kill and maim Australian, New Zealand, and United States of America troops? Refer to Footnote 82 to 85 FOOD AND TRADE IN LATE MAOIST CHINA,1960-1978, prepared by Tianxiao Zhu, who even reports the name of our ship, the Hopepeak and how the seaman feared for our lives if we were forced to return to China with another cargo of Australian wheat. Australian wheat was being redeployed to North Vietnam during the period when Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America fought the Vietnam Cong in the jungles of North Vietnam.
3. During the 1960s, the Australian Liberal-Country Party Government engaged in misleading conduct regarding trade with Communist China despite being cognizant of the fact that Australian merchant seamen had vehemently refused to transport Australian wheat to China. The grounds for such an objection were their apprehension that the wheat would be redirected to North Vietnam during the North Vietnam War between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America. The underlying inquiry is to ascertain the government's rationale for deliberately deceiving the general public and jeopardising the country's troops whose lives were being lost in the conflict in North Vietnam. Murdered for Mao: The killings China 'forgot'
4. Why didn't Australia's Trade Minister, John McEwen, correctly and honestly advise the people of Australia why the crew of the British ship Hopepeak had refused to take any more Australian wheat to China because they had witnessed its redeployment to North Vietnam whie Australian, New Zealand and USA tropps were being killed and maimed by North Vietnam.
In December 1967, the Trade Minister Sir John McEwen became Australia's 18th Prime Minister. Other Australian Prime Ministers, namely John Howard, have more recently misled and deceived Australian citizens concerning the Iraq War. This misleading and deceiving of the citizens of Australia has hurt many Australians. The government's refusal to accept what happened in China while delivering Australian wheat as a matter of public interest should be addressed. I am hoping my website, absentjustice.com, will do this.
The following three statements taken from a report prepared by Australia's Kim Beasly MP on 4 September 1965 (father of Australia's former Minister of Defence Kim Beasly) only tell part of this tragic episode concerning what I wanted to convey to Malcolm Fraser, former Prime Minister of Australia when I telephoned him in April 1993 and again in April 1994 concerning Australia's wheat deals which I originally wrote to him about on 18 September 1967 as Minister for the Army.
Vol. 87 No. 4462 (4 Sep 1965) - National Library of Australia https://nla.gov.au › nla.obj-702601569
"The Department of External Affairs has recently published an "Information Handbook entitled "Studies on Vietnam". It established the fact that the Vietcong are equipped with Chinese arms and ammunition"
If it is right to ask Australian youth to risk everything in Vietnam it is wrong to supply their enemies. The Communists in Asia will kill anyone who stands in their path, but at least they have a path."
Australian trade commssioners do not so readily see that our Chinese trade in war materials finances our own distruction. NDr do they see so clearly that the wheat trade does the same thing."
The Australian government has misrepresented the facts surrounding why Australia continued to provide wheat to China, aware that some of it was helping the war effort in North Vietnam at the expense of many young Australian, New Zealand and USA lives during the Vietnam War..
Question 81 in the following AFP transcripts Australian Federal Police Investigation File No/1 of their second interview with me during my arbitration confirms the AFP had evidence that Telstra had bugged my telephone conversations. The AFP and arbitrator have been unable to force Telstra to apologize or make recompense for their violation of my private and business life.
Bribery, corruption, misleading and deceptive conduct
The fax imprint across the top of this letter is the same as the fax imprint described in the Scandrett & Associates report (Open Letter File No/12 and File No/13), which states:
“We canvassed examples, which we are advised are a representative group, of this phenomena [sic]. “They show that
- the header strip of various faxes is being altered
- the header strip of various faxes was changed or semi overwritten.
- In all cases the replacement header type is the same.
- The sending parties all have a common interest and that is COT.
- Some faxes have originated from organisations such as the Commonwealth Ombudsman office.
- The modified type face of the header could not have been generated by the large number of machines canvassed, making it foreign to any of the sending services.”
The fax imprint across the top of this letter dated 12 May 1995 (Open Letter File No 55-A) is the same as the fax imprint described in the 7 January 1999 Scandrett & Associates report provided to Senator Ron Boswell ( Open Letter File No/12 and File No/13), confirming faxes were intercepted during the COT arbitrations. One of the two technical consultants attesting to the validity of this January 1999 fax interception report emailed me on 17 December 2014, stating:
“I still stand by my statutory declaration that I was able to identify that the incoming faxes provided to me for review had at some stage been received by a secondary fax machine and then retransmitted, this was done by identifying the dual time stamps on the faxes provided.” (Front Page Part One File No/14)
My 3 February 1994 letter to Michael Lee, Minister for Communications Hacking-Julian Assange File No/27-A) and a subsequent letter from Fay Holthuyzen, assistant to the minister (Hacking-Julian Assange File No/27-B), to Telstra’s corporate secretary, show that I was concerned that my faxes were being illegally intercepted.
An internal government memo, dated 25 February 1994, confirms that the minister advised me that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) would investigate my illegal phone/fax interception allegations. (Hacking-Julian Assange File No/28, (AFP Evidence File No 4),
Regardless of the Hon Michael Lee, Minister for Communications in the 1994 Labor government advising me during my Fast Track Settlement Proposal (FTSP) signed on 23 November 1993, which became the Fast Track Arbitration Procedure signed on 21 April 1994 that my evidence of phone interception and fax hacking (the screening of my FTSP, and FTAP related claim documents would be investigated and stopped. Evidence 10-C in (Front Page Part One File No/14) shows that my faxes, even to the then Australian Federal Treasurer, The Hon Peter Costello, (while in government), were still being hacked (screened) as late as 2 November 1998, thirty months after the completion of my arbitration.
