Australian Federal Police Investigations-1

 

How does one publish an authentic account of the events that have unfolded during various Australian Government-endorsed arbitrations, especially when compelled to do so without attaching the vital supporting exhibits? We find ourselves in this predicament due to the pervasive and insidious corruption entrenched within the government bureaucracy.

How can the author convincingly demonstrate—while avoiding the threat of legal action—that government public servants illicitly provided privileged information to the then Australian Government-owned telecommunications carrier (the defendants) while simultaneously concealing crucial documentation from the claimants, who are merely their fellow Australian citizens?

How does one narrate a story so incredulous that even the author grapples with doubts about its authenticity until they meticulously cross-check their records? How can one uncover and expose the collaboration between an arbitrator, various appointed government watchdogs (umpires), and the defendants, revealing the tangled web of deceit that has undermined the integrity of the arbitration process?

It is vital to identify that the defendants in this arbitration (the Telstra Corporation) employed equipment linked to their network to intercept and screen faxes leaving our office. They stored this sensitive material without our knowledge or consent, only to reroute it to its intended destination. This breach of trust likely allowed the defendants to leverage the intercepted information to fortify their arbitration defence, ultimately to the detriment of the claimants.

How many other Australian arbitration processes have been subjected to such invasive electronic interference and covert surveillance? Is this alarming practice of electronic eavesdropping still taking place during legitimate Australian arbitrations today? In January 1999, the arbitration claimants presented the Australian Government with a comprehensive report detailing that confidential, arbitration-related documents were surreptitiously and unlawfully screened before reaching Parliament House in Canberra. Will this critical report ever be made public for all Australians to see?

How many Australian businesses have faced the daunting reality of aggressive and unexpected takeovers during their most vulnerable moments? How many of these enterprises were unexpectedly blindsided by a takeover bid, believing their circumstances were secure and private? Additionally, how many have found themselves compromised because someone had unauthorised access to their confidential telephone conversations? It's alarming to consider just how easy it has been for outside forces to target my business without any meaningful government oversight.

Furthermore, how many legal battles in Australia have seemed like clear cases for victory, with evidence strongly favouring the litigant, yet ended in defeat at the last moment? Often, this loss was due to the opposition's ability to unearth sensitive information that turned the tide. How much critical information is being intercepted through the telephone network, information that Australian citizens and businesses, like mine, trust to Telstra, believing it represents a private exchange between two parties?

In my specific situation, Telstra has provided a list of documents they received as part of my arbitration claim. However, this list is alarmingly incomplete—missing forty-three crucial documents I forwarded to the arbitrator for transmission to Telstra’s legal team. It’s hard to fathom how even the most unscrupulous arbitrator would withhold that much essential claim material. So, where could these documents possibly be?

In addition to the issue of lost faxes, my incoming phone calls represent a significant and detrimental loss of revenue. I have built lasting relationships with some customers who have returned annually for over a decade. Yet, I couldn’t withstand the loss of eighty incoming calls over just three months—each representing a potential new customer. Those individuals may have chosen to take their business elsewhere, perhaps even recommending another holiday camp to their friends—who can say for sure?

However, the Australian Government appears to be powerless in addressing the significant "Big Brother" concerns surrounding Telstra’s corporate management team. In Chapter Thirty-Four, you will see a compelling illustration of how little our government cared when a devoted small business operator bravely raised alarms about the grave dangers posed by lost documents within Telstra’s network.

Suppose I were representing the Ford Motor Company, BHP, or another major multinational corporation operating in Australia. In that case, I am confident these pressing complaints would have been thoroughly investigated long ago. The situation surrounding this matter is intriguing on many levels, particularly because, without the Complaints of Telstra (COTs), the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) may never have existed. 

Back in 1992, following countless attempts to raise our grievances with the Regulator regarding Telstra’s persistent unwillingness to address our issues, the Regulator, in conjunction with the then-Labour Government, established a dedicated telecommunications industry ombudsman’s office. This move was undoubtedly spurred by the escalating pressure exerted by the COTs, a development that even Telstra's management has acknowledged as pivotal to creating this critical oversight position.

Regrettably, since late 1994, the COTs have experienced an alarming rise in complaints about the TIO, surpassing even the number we received from the Regulator while trying to resolve our issues with Telstra. Even more troubling is that the fifteen members of the TIO Board and Council are prominently drawn from Telstra and other significant players in the telecommunications industry, all of whom are vested in mitigating any adverse publicity that may arise. 

I have meticulously provided all fifteen members with irrefutable evidence detailing the cover-up concerning my ongoing phone and fax faults. However, the only responses I have received thus far have been from the Chairman of the Board—a senior officer with another major non-Telstra telecommunications company—and the Chairman of the Council, a former Liberal Government Minister. 

The questions loom: Who is covering up for whom in this convoluted situation, and are the international parent companies on the TIO Board and Council aware of the ongoing cover-up?

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.

“I am writing in reference to your article in last Friday’s Herald-Sun (2nd April 1993) about phone difficulties experienced by businesses.

I wish to confirm that I have had problems trying to contact Cape Bridgewater Holiday Camp over the past 2 years.

I also experienced problems while trying to organise our family camp for September this year. On numerous occasions I have rung from both this business number 053 424 675 and also my home number and received no response – a dead line.

I rang around the end of February (1993) and twice was subjected to a piercing noise similar to a fax. I reported this incident to Telstra who got the same noise when testing.”
