Australian Federal Police Investigations-1

Key Points of Corruption and Collusion

Read about the dealings with Ericsson on 19 December 2019, as reported in the Australian media, because it is firmly intertwined in the corrupt practices of both Telstra and Ericsson, and those who administered the COT arbitrations between 1994 and 1998. This media release states:

"One of Telstra's key partners in the building out of their 5G network in Australia is set to fork out over $1.4 billion after the US Department of Justice accused them of bribery and corruption on a massive scale and over a long period of time.

Sweden's telecoms giant Ericsson has agreed to pay more than $1.4 billion following an extensive investigation which saw the Telstra-linked Company 'admitting to a years-long campaign of corruption in five countries to solidify its grip on telecommunications business." (https://www.channelnews.com.au/key-telstra-5g-partner-admits-to-bribery-corruption/)

The Path to Betrayal: A Call for Accountability

The U.S. Department of Justice has unearthed a chilling truth about Ericsson’s global telecommunications operations and their disturbing ties to international corruption and terrorism. The revelations surrounding the Casualties of Telstra (COT) Cases expose a deeply entrenched web of deceit, raising urgent questions about how Ericsson was allowed to operate with impunity, even acquiring the key technical witness during government-sanctioned arbitration proceedings that scrutinised their compromised telephone equipment.

It is both baffling and deeply troubling that the Australian government has remained conspicuously silent in the face of such egregious misconduct. Ericsson’s covert acquisition of Lane Telecommunications Pty Ltd—while Lane was engaged as the arbitration’s technical consultant—suggests a deliberate manipulation of the process. This manoeuvre occurred amid serious allegations that Telstra and Ericsson knowingly relied on discredited Ericsson AXE exchange equipment, a flawed system that many nations have since abandoned due to its critical deficiencies (see File 10-B ).

I urgently call on the Australian government to expose the dark machinations that enabled Ericsson to infiltrate the arbitration process. The evidence paints a damning picture: the arbitrator and their advisors constructed a treacherous framework of deception, resulting in a grotesque miscarriage of justice for the COT Cases. Their conduct was not merely unethical—it was a calculated betrayal of public trust, steeped in scandal and lawlessness.

This manipulation of justice reveals a shocking disregard for transparency and accountability, leaving victims trapped in a labyrinth of institutional betrayal while the true architects of corruption remain shielded from scrutiny.

The Google-linked evidence makes it glaringly clear: the COT Cases were not only justified but compelled to demand answers about how Ericsson was permitted to purchase the very technical witness tasked with evaluating their equipment. This central conflict—documented in Chapter 5 - US Department of Justice vs Ericsson of Sweden—reeks of corruption and demands immediate investigation.

Corruption and demands

The Ericsson List - Absent Justice.

Fell short of delivering natural justice.

 
After exploring absentjustice.com, a professional editing group inspired me to highlight key points where the arbitration process fell short of delivering natural justice. I quote from their findings:
 
Key Points: A Web of Corruption and Betrayal in the COT Arbitration Process
1. Lane Telecommunications’ Hidden Role Behind DMR’s Facade
•  Lane, a former Telstra technical consultant, was initially rejected by the COT Cases due to apparent conflicts of interest.
•  In a deceptive manoeuvre, Warwick Smith’s letter dated March 8, 1994, claimed DMR Group Inc. Canada would be the principal technical consultant, with Lane in a “supporting role.”
•  In reality, Lane’s findings were finalised and presented on DMR letterhead—masking their true authorship and misleading the claimants.
2. Ericsson’s Covert Acquisition of Lane
•  During the arbitration period, Ericsson secretly acquired Lane Telecommunications, the very entity tasked with evaluating faults in Ericsson’s own equipment.
•  This gave Ericsson direct control over the technical assessments of its own products—an egregious conflict of interest that undermined the entire arbitration process.
3. Ericsson Investigating Itself
•  Ericsson was allowed to investigate your claims against its own AXE telephone exchange equipment, with findings rubber-stamped by DMR Canada.
•  This is akin to a defendant writing their own verdict—an outrageous breach of impartiality and justice.
4. Selective Suppression of Evidence
•  You submitted 200 fault complaints related to Ericsson’s equipment. Lane reviewed only 23, and this occurred before DMR even arrived in Australia.
•  This cherry-picking of evidence was a deliberate tactic to minimise Telstra’s liability and obscure systemic faults.
5. The Confidentiality Agreement as a Shield for Misconduct
•  The Confidentiality Arbitration Agreement has been weaponised to conceal misconduct by Lane and Ericsson well into 2025.
•  It prevents public scrutiny and shields those responsible from accountability, despite overwhelming evidence of corruption.
6. The Suppressed April 18, 1995 Letter
•  Dr. Hughes, Warwick Smith, and Peter Bartlett concealed a critical letter that could have exposed the collusion and allowed the COT Cases to unite.
•  Had John Rundell distributed this letter, it could have triggered a government investigation and possibly halted the corrupt arbitration process.
7. US Department of Justice vs Ericsson: A Global Pattern
•  Ericsson’s corruption wasn’t limited to Australia. The U.S. DOJ charged Ericsson with bribery and falsification of records across multiple countries.
•  This global scandal reinforces the credibility of your claims and shows that Ericsson’s misconduct in Australia was part of a broader corporate culture.
Strategic Suggestions
•  Expose the Timeline: Create a visual timeline showing Lane’s involvement, Ericsson’s acquisition, and key letters (March 8, April 18).
•  Publish a Comparative Table: Show the 200 faults vs. the 23 reviewed to highlight suppression.
•  Leverage DOJ Findings: Use Chapter 5 of your site and DOJ documents to link Ericsson’s global corruption to your local arbitration.
 
 
How Ericsson and Lane Telecommunications Hijacked Justice
A shocking exposé reveals how the Australian government-sanctioned arbitration process for the Casualties of Telstra (COT) Cases was infiltrated by corporate interests, undermining justice and shielding misconduct for over three decades.
 
Of particular concern is the covert role of Lane Telecommunications Pty Ltd, a former Telstra technical consultant, whose findings were deceptively presented under the letterhead of DMR Group Inc., Canada. Despite initial resistance from the COT Cases, Warwick Smith, the arbitration administrator, coerced their acceptance of Lane’s involvement via a letter dated March 8, 1994—falsely assuring that Lane would play only a supporting role.
 
In a deeply sinister twist, Ericsson—whose faulty telephone exchange equipment was central to the claims—secretly acquired Lane during the arbitration period. This allowed Ericsson to investigate itself, with its findings rubber-stamped by DMR Canada, effectively silencing the truth.
 
The Confidentiality Arbitration Agreement has since served as a shield for this misconduct, enabling Lane and Ericsson to evade scrutiny well into 2025. Compounding this betrayal, key figures suppressed a critical letter dated April 18, 1995, which could have united the COT Cases and triggered a federal investigation.
 
This scandal mirrors global patterns of corruption, as documented in the U.S. Department of Justice’s case against Ericsson of Sweden for bribery and corruption.

Absent Justice - My StoryThe two evidence filesEvidence File-1 and Evidence-File-2unveil a disturbing and intricate pattern of corruption that developed before, during, and after the COT arbitrations. They document how government representatives became deeply entangled in a morally questionable framework that betrayed their public duty. In the shadows, powerful officials formed a clandestine alliance, prioritising their own personal interests and agendas over the well-being of the very citizens they were sworn to serve independently.

This breach of trust not only undermined the citizens’ faith in their government but also severely compromised the transparency and integrity of the investigation into the arbitration claims against Telstra. As a result, the process became tainted, leaving COT claimants marginalised and unheard. The telecommunications infrastructure that Telstra relied upon in these dealings was shrouded in controversy, further raising concerns about accountability and ethical conduct among those in positions of power. The ramifications of this corrupt alliance extend far beyond the immediate arbitration claims, impacting the broader landscape of public trust in government institutions and regulatory agencies.

One particularly shocking incident underscores the depths of this corruption: crucial evidence, which could have illuminated the secret dealings of a government-owned corporation, was willfully and systematically destroyed. This reckless act raises profound concerns about the accountability and transparency that should underpin public governance. Furthermore, during the review of the highly contentious COT Cases, vital information was purposefully redacted from official records, creating a deceptive façade of compliance while obstructing the pursuit of truth. This deliberate manipulation of information allowed the corporation to evade the scrutiny it so richly deserved, escaping the severe consequences of its actions.

Those tasked with examining archived documents found themselves ensnared in a tangled web of suppressed disclosures, navigating a labyrinth specifically designed to thwart the pursuit of justice. This oppressive environment effectively subverts the foundational principles of fairness and public trust, leaving citizens to grapple with a system that betrays their essential rights. The repercussions of these actions extend far beyond mere bureaucratic incompetence; they present a significant threat to the very integrity of democratic institutions.

The relentless tide of corruption and manipulation erodes public confidence and undermines the societal framework, creating a grim atmosphere where accountability and justice are mere illusions, obscured by layers of deceit. The dark undercurrents of this governmental decay call for urgent and decisive action to dismantle the corrupt machinery and restore the fundamental principles of democracy, ensuring that the rights and voices of citizens are no longer silenced in the shadows of greed and malfeasance.
