Shameful. Hideous. Treacherous.

21st April 1993:  Telstra internal email FOI folio C04094 from Greg Newbold to numerous Telstra executives and discussing “COT cases latest”, states:-

“Don, thank you for your swift and eloquent reply.  I disagree with raising the issue of the courts.  That carries an implied threat not only to COT cases but to all customers that they’ll end up as lawyer fodder.  Certainly that can be a message to give face to face with customers and to hold in reserve if the complaints remain vexacious .” GS File 75 Exhibit 1 to 88

These Telstra executives forgot that Telstra was a publicly owned corporation. Therefore, those executives were responsible for ensuring the integrity of Telstra's working conditions, something Telstra has never even understood. Bribery and corruption, including misleading and deceptive conduct, destroyed the Australian economy while the powerful bureaucrats attempted to fight this fire with talk of change. 

These words only begin to describe the lawbreakers who have tarnished Australia’s legal system. Unscrupulous, vile, and corrupt actions within the government have undermined the arbitration process, a system the government once endorsed. The pressing question is: Is the Institute of Arbitrator Mediator Australia (IAMA) fundamentally biased and lacking in transparency? Click this link—representing the eleventh remedy pursued—and judge for yourself.

The fax imprint at the top of this letter (Open Letter File No 55-A) matches the fax imprint described in the Scandrett & Associates report (see Open Letter File No/12 and File No/13), confirming that at least four of the COT faxes, arbitration-related faxes, were intercepted by a secondary fax screening machine connected at each of the COT Cases businesses during their (our) arbitrations.

Hugh Grant, British Actor 

As you begin to scroll down this absentjusatice.com home page and click on the chilling twelve mini evidence files, ranging from "Telstra-Corruption-Freehill-Hollingdale & Page" to "The Promised Documents Never Arrived, a haunting truth unfolds. After just a glimpse into two of these files, the staggering burden of enduring constant attacks on your freedoms for over three decades becomes all too clear. 

The oppressive weight of knowing that influential and malicious figures have relentlessly surveilled your life is a reality no one should have to bear. This sinister orchestration is epitomised by the plight of British actor Hugh Grant, alongside others ensnared in the treacherous Rupert Murdoch scandal. They have been granted apologies and compensation for the devastation wrought upon their lives, yet those entangled in the notorious COT Case sixteen remain forsaken. They are still waiting for the establishment to acknowledge and address the insidious intrusions that have plagued their existence for far too long. The silence is deafening, and the injustice unparalleled.

The question the Telecommunication Industry Ombudsman (TIO) and the Federal Attorney-General have still not answered is:

• Was the letter mentioned above (Open Letter File No 55-A) actually faxed to my office by the TIO to assist me in any pending appeal process, but was it hijacked en route?
• If the letter was never intended to be faxed to me the day after the arbitrator concluded his findings? Why was such an important letter withheld from me during my designated appeal period? 

How could I have lost my arbitration appeal when the arbitrator's own wording in the document (Open Letter File No 55-A) states that the agreement he used on May 11, 1995, to deliberate his findings on my case was not a credible document? Despite this, Dr Gordon Hughes still chose to use it, fully aware that it would cause significant grief for me, my business, and my partner.

One of the two technical consultants attesting to the validity of this Scandrett & Associates report (see Open Letter File No/12 and File No/13) emailed me on 17 December 2014, fifteen years after he assisted in compiling this fax report, 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)

The Long Journey
The long journey to my forthcoming ebook, The Arbitraitor, to be launched on www.promoteyourstory.com.au by 19 December 2025, underscores why understanding “the first remedy pursued” is essential. It lays bare the foundations of our struggle and the devastating implications for all who have suffered under institutional silence and betrayal.

The Evidence Files

By clicking on the image above, you will see that someone authorised the removal of the $250,000 liability caps outlined in clauses 25 and 26 of my arbitration agreement. Initially, my legal team, along with two Senators, reached a consensus that the arbitration agreement was equitable because the $250,000 liability caps allowed me to pursue legal action against the arbitration consultants for negligence. However, the abrupt removal of these critical clauses significantly impacted my situation. As a result, I lost my chance to appeal the arbitration award against the consultants, who acted with gross misconduct, leaving me without the necessary recourse to seek justice.,

The Weight of Treachery

My 3 February 1994 letter to Michael Lee, Minister for Communications (see Hacking-Julian Assange File No/27-A) and a subsequent letter from Fay Holthuyzen, assistant to the minister (see Hacking-Julian Assange File No/27-B), to Telstra’s corporate secretary, show that I was concerned that my faxes were being illegally intercepted.

Leading up to the signing of the COT Cases arbitration, on 21 April 1994, AUSTEL wrote to Telstra on 10 February 1994 stating:

“Yesterday we were called upon by officers of the Australian Federal Police in relation to the taping of the telephone services of COT Cases.

“Given the investigation now being conducted by that agency and the responsibilities imposed on AUSTEL by section 47 of the Telecommunications Act 1991, the nine tapes previously supplied by Telecom to AUSTEL were made available for the attention of the Commissioner of Police.” (See Illegal Interception File No/3)

An internal government memo, dated 25 February 1994, confirms that the minister advised me that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) would investigate my allegations of illegal phone/fax interception. (See Hacking-Julian Assange File No/28)

This internal, dated 25 February 1994, is a Government Memo confirming that the then-Minister for Communications and the Arts had written to advise that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) would investigate my allegations of illegal phone/fax interception. (AFP Evidence File No 4)

A System Built on Silence
📠 The Vanishing Faxes: A Calculated Disruption

Exhibits 646 and 647 (see ) clearly show that, in writing, Telstra admitted to the Australian Federal Police on 14 April 1994 that my private and business telephone conversations were listened to and recorded over several months, but only when a particular officer was on duty.

This particular Telstra technician, who was then based in Portland, not only monitored my phone conversations but also took the alarming step of sharing my personal and business information with an individual named "Micky." He provided Micky with my phone and fax numbers, which I had used to contact my telephone and fax service provider (please refer to Exhibit 518, FOI folio document K03273 - ).

To this day, this technician has not been held accountable or asked to clarify who authorised him to disclose my sensitive information to "Micky." I am perplexed as to why Dr Gordon Hughes did not pursue any inquiries with Telstra regarding this local technician’s actions. Specifically, why was he permitted to reveal my private and business details without any apparent oversight or justification?

The evidence within the above-named Scandrett & Associates report (Open Letter File No/12 and File No/13) also confirmed at Exhibit 1-c → File No/13) that one of my faxes sent to Federal Treasurer Peter Costello on 2 November 1998, was similarly intercepted 30 months after the conclusion of my arbitration on 11 May 1995, i.e.,

Exhibit 10-C → File No/13 in the Scandrett & Associates report Pty Ltd fax interception report (refer to (Open Letter File No/12 and  File No/13) confirms my letter of 2 November 1998 to the Hon Peter Costello Australia's then Federal Treasure was intercepted scanned before being redirected to his office. These intercepted documents to government officials were not isolated events, which, in my case, continued throughout my arbitration, which began on 21 April 1994 and concluded on 11 May 1995. Exhibit 10-C File No/13 shows this fax hacking continued until at least 2 November 1998, more than three years after the conclusion of my arbitration.

This evidence reveals that faxes were intercepted long after my arbitration had concluded. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) determined that I had been subjected to electronic surveillance for several years prior to the arbitration. I raised these concerns directly with the AFP, and their interview transcripts substantiate my claims, underscoring the grave implications of unauthorised surveillance.

I intend to include this information in Evidence File 3 on my website, www.promoteyourstory.com.au. Please check for this file in the new year, as it will expose the disturbing tendency of government officials to dismiss the legitimate concerns of ordinary citizens.

A stark illustration of this disregard lies in the Australian government’s decision to sell wheat to China, fully aware that some of this wheat would be diverted into the hands of North Vietnamese soldiers. Those very soldiers contributed to the tragic deaths of Australian, New Zealand, and US servicemen in the dense jungles of North Vietnam.

Put simply: Australia was complicit in aiding North Vietnam to kill and maim its own soldiers — and the soldiers of its allies.

At the age of 81, I stand defiant, yet crushed beneath the monstrous weight of treachery that has pursued me for decades. My life has devolved into a grotesque theatre of corruption, where the darkest chapters seep into the light like venomous ink. It is not just betrayal that sends me spiralling into despair, but the insidious machinery of a malevolent legal firm in Melbourne, entwined in a web of deceit, greed, and moral decay during my arbitration in 1994/95. The very fact that crucial arbitration-related documents, which were faxed to Dr Hughes' Melbourne office for assessment, were instead misdirected to his Sydney office—and never returned—screams of betrayal. He knew of this treachery and chose silence when the Australian Federal Police began probing the mystery of my lost faxes; his inaction is nothing less than criminal → Australian Federal Police Investigation File No/1.

I must take the reader forward fourteen years to the following letter dated 30 July 2009. According to this letter dated 30 July 2009, from Graham Schorer (COT spokesperson) and ex-client of the arbitrator Dr Hughes wrote to Paul Crowley, CEO Institute of Arbitrators Mediators Australia (IAMA), attaching a statutory declaration (see" Burying The Evidence File 13-H and a copy of a previous letter dated 4 August 1998 from Mr Schorer to me, detailing a phone conversation Mr Schorer had with the arbitrator (during the arbitrations in 1994) regarding lost Telstra COT related faxes. During that conversation, the arbitrator explained, in some detail, that:

"Hunt & Hunt (The company's) Australian Head Office was located in Sydney, and (the company) is a member of an international association of law firms. Due to overseas time zone differences, at close of business, (the company's) Melbourne's incoming facsimiles are night switched to automatically divert to Hunt & Hunt Sydney office where someone is always on duty. There are occasions on the opening of the Melbourne office, the person responsible for cancelling the night switching of incoming faxes from the Melbourne office to the Sydney Office, has failed to cancel the automatic diversion of incoming facsimiles." Burying The Evidence File 13-H.

I reiterate, Dr Hughes’s failure to disclose the faxing issues to the Australian Federal Police during my arbitration is deeply concerning. The AFP was investigating the interception of my faxes to the arbitrator's office. Yet, this crucial matter was a significant aspect of my claim that Dr Hughes chose not to address in his award or mention in any of his findings. The loss of essential arbitration documents throughout the COT Cases is a serious indictment of the process, as was Dr Hughes's conflict of interest during that process (see Chapter 3 - Conflict of Interest).

Open Letter dated 25 September 2025 → "The first remedy pursued"

In 2025, Dr Gordon Hughes is Principal Lawyer of Davies Collison Cave's Lawyers Melbourne → https://shorturl.at/L4tbp

Rather than confront the horrifying reality that he had lost control over four arbitrations involving me and three other Australians, Hughes orchestrated a campaign of calculated destruction. He did not stumble into dishonour — he engineered it. With his wife either a willing conspirator or a silent accomplice, they twisted a trivial moment into a monstrous fabrication: a grotesque lie that I had made a 2:00 AM phone call to her. This was no misunderstanding. It was a weapon forged in malice, designed to paint me as a predator in the night, a demon to be feared, and to suffocate any investigation into Hughes’s own corruption within the Institute of Arbitrators Australia.

The abyss deepened when John Pinnock, Australia’s second Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman, joined this insidious conspiracy. In a deceitful letter to Laurie James, President of the Institute of Arbitrators Australia, Pinnock shamelessly implicated me, alleging I had confessed in writing to the fabricated call. I never wrote such a letter. The lie was pure invention, a phantom conjured to dismantle my existence. And yet, Pinnock never produced this supposed confession — because it did not exist. The truth was buried beneath layers of deceit, and the silence of institutions became their accomplice.

This was not incompetence. It was a deliberate, orchestrated campaign of lies, betrayal, and character assassination. It was corruption weaponised, treachery institutionalised, deceit sanctified by those entrusted with justice. Their actions were not isolated — they were systemic, a coordinated effort to erase truth and protect the guilty.

Haunted by this web of lies, traumatised by the profound damage inflicted upon my life, I reached out in desperation in June 2011 to The Most Hon. Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, pleading for recognition of the horror I endured. I copied my entreaties to Robert McLelland, Federal Attorney General, and Robert Clark, Victorian Attorney General, clinging to the faint hope that truth might pierce the cold indifference that enveloped me. I sent my pleas to government officials, begging for validation against the chilling grip of Hughes, the malicious deceit of Pinnock, and the false witness statements manufactured by Telstra to defend their corruption in my 1994/95 arbitration.

I implore you to read my COT story. It is not merely a personal account — it is a revelation of systemic horror. It exposes corruption so insidious, treachery so malignant, that it leaves scars not only on my life but on the integrity of justice itself. The malicious lies of Hughes, Pinnock, and Rundell from 1995 and 1996 are not forgotten. They loom like a grotesque spectre, an elephant in the room that refuses to be ignored. Their deceit is a cancer that festers still, protected by silence and cover-up.

It is this urgency — this relentless need for justice — that compels me to speak. My story is not just mine. It is a warning, a testament, a cry against the insidious treachery that still holds power to cover up its crimes.

Echoes of Betrayal: Wheat Sales to China
The betrayal is not new. Reflecting on Australia’s wheat sales to Communist China in 1967, the hypocrisy becomes clear. Bureaucrats knowingly allowed grain to be repurposed to fuel North Vietnam’s war effort against Australian, New Zealand, and American troops. This act of negligence and complicity demonstrates how detached decision-makers, insulated by theory and bureaucracy, can transform potential solutions into catastrophic consequences. It is a reminder that betrayal often comes not from enemies abroad, but from incompetence at home.

 The People's Republic of China 

Murdered for Mao: The killings China ‘forgot’

The Letter, the Truth, and the Waiting

In August 1967, I found myself in a situation so precarious, so surreal, that it would etch itself into the marrow of my memory. I was aboard a cargo ship docked in China, surrounded by Red Guards stationed on board twenty-four hours a day, spaced no more than thirty paces apart. After being coerced into writing a confession—declaring myself a U.S. aggressor and a supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, the Nationalist leader in Taiwan—I was told by the second steward, who handled the ship’s correspondence, that I had about two days before a response to my letter might reach me. That response, whatever it might be, would be delivered by the head of the Red Guards himself.

It was the second steward who quietly suggested I write to my parents. I did. I poured myself into 22 foolscap pages, writing with the urgency of a man who believed he might not live to see the end of the week. I told my church-going parents that I was not the saintly 18-year-old they believed I was. I confessed that the woman they had so often thanked in their letters—believing her to be my landlady or carer—was in fact my lover. She was 42. I was 18 when we met. From 1963 to 1967, she had been my anchor, my warmth, my truth. I wrote about my life at sea, about the chaos and the camaraderie, about the loneliness and the longing. I wrote because I needed them to know who I really was, in case I was executed before I ever saw them again.

As the ship’s cook and duty mess room steward, I had a front-row seat to the daily rhythms of life on board. I often watched the crew eat their meals on deck, plates balanced on the handrails that lined the ship. We were carrying grain to China on humanitarian grounds, and yet, the irony was unbearable—food was being wasted while the people we were meant to help were starving. Sausages, half-eaten steaks, baked potatoes—they’d slip from plates and tumble into the sea. But there were no seagulls to swoop down and claim them. They’d been eaten too. The food floated aimlessly, untouched even by fish, which had grown scarce in the harbour. Starvation wasn’t a concept. It was a presence. It was in the eyes of the Red Guards who watched us eat. It was in the silence that followed every wasted bite.
 

A Tray of Leftovers and a Silent Exchange

After my arrest, I was placed under house arrest aboard the ship. One day, I took a small metal tray from the galley and filled it—not with scraps, but with decent leftovers. Food that would have gone into the stockpot or been turned into dry hash cakes. I walked it out to the deck, placed it on one of the long benches, patted my stomach as if I’d eaten my fill, and walked away without a word.

Ten minutes later, I returned. The tray had been licked clean.

At the next meal, I did it again—this time with enough food for three or four Red Guards. I placed the tray on the bench and left. No words. No eye contact. Just food. I repeated this quiet ritual for two more days, all while waiting for the response to my letter. During that time, something shifted. The Red Guard, who had been waking me every hour to check if I was sleeping, stopped coming. The tension in the air thinned, just slightly. And I kept bringing food—whenever the crew was busy unloading wheat with grappling hooks wrapped in chicken wire, I’d slip out with another tray.

To this day, I don’t know what saved me. It was certainly not the letter declaring myself a U.S. aggressor and a supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, the Nationalist leader in Taiwan. Maybe it was luck. Or perhaps it was that tray of food, offered without expectation, without speech, without condition. A silent gesture that said, “I see you. I know you’re hungry. I know you’re human.”

And maybe, just maybe, that was enough. British Seaman’s Record R744269 -  Open Letter to PM File No 1 Alan Smith's Seaman.  → Chapter 7- Vietnam-Vietcong-2

Australian Federal Police Investigation File No/1

The AFP believed Telstra was deleting evidence at my expense. 

During my first meetings with the AFP, I provided Superintendent Detective Sergeant Jeff Penrose with two Australian newspaper articles concerning two separate telephone conversations with The Hon. Malcolm Fraser, a former Prime Minister of Australia. Mr Fraser reported to the media only what he thought was necessary concerning our telephone conversation, as recorded below:

“FORMER prime minister Malcolm Fraser yesterday demanded Telecom explain why his name appears in a restricted internal memo.

“Mr Fraser’s request follows the release of a damning government report this week which criticised Telecom for recording conversations without customer permission.

“Mr Fraser said Mr Alan Smith, of the Cape Bridgewater Holiday Camp near Portland, phoned him early last year seeking advice on a long-running dispute with Telecom which Mr Fraser could not help.” 

In May 1994, John Wynack, the Director of Investigations for the Commonwealth Ombudsman, demanded answers from Telstra regarding their suspicious surveillance of my phone conversations with former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser. What sinister motives lie behind their actions? Why did they redact crucial portions of their files that documented my discussions with Fraser over twelve months? Telstra’s silence spoke volumes, as they repeatedly evaded Wynack's inquiries.

I had written to Fraser on September 18, 1967, exposing a treacherous wheat deal that was not just a business transaction; it was clandestinely fueling the enemy that was ruthlessly attacking our troops, as well as those from New Zealand and the USA, entrenched in the jungles of North Vietnam.

What dark purpose drove Telstra to monitor my phone calls between April 1993 and April 1994 about events that unfolded in August and September 1967, decades earlier? The implications are chilling.

Why didn't Dr Hughes, as arbitrator to my arbitration demand the same answers from Telstra as the Commonwealth Ombudsman was asking? 

I spoke with the former Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, to discuss events I witnessed, along with other seamen, when our ship unloaded Australian wheat from the holds of the MV Hopepeak. I wonder if, when he was the Minister of the Army on 18 September 1967, he remembers my two-page letter to him detailing what we had seen. Our precious cargo of wheat was sent to China on humanitarian grounds to alleviate hunger among the Chinese people. However, some of this cargo was being reloaded and redirected to North Vietnam, where it would feed the army that was killing and maiming Australian, New Zealand, and U.S. troops in the jungles of Vietnam.

I relayed to Mr Fraser my profound and unsettling concerns about the disturbing experiences I suffered at the hands of the government-owned Telstra Corporation, both in the lead-up to and during my arbitration. These included insidious and manipulative threats from Telstra, accompanied by a glaring absence of any governmental investigation into these menacing actions or any genuine effort to hold Telstra accountable for its transgressions.

The False Award

The arbitrator, fully aware of the deep-rooted corruption pervading the case, chose to turn a blind eye before issuing his formal award on May 11, 1995. In a betrayal, he deceitfully presented the DMR & Lane technical report as a definitive set of findings, despite the glaring fact that only 23 assessments had been conducted by the consultants. This misrepresentation was not an oversight; it was a calculated ploy to obscure the truth.

“Continued reports of 008 faults up to the present. As the level of disruption to overall CBHC  service is not clear, and fault causes have not been diagnosed, a reasonable expectation that these faults would remain ‘open’,”  (Exhibit 45-c -File No/45-A)
 

Telstra-Corruption-Freehill-Hollingdale & Page

Corrupt practices persisted throughout the COT arbitrations, flourishing in secrecy and obscurity. These insidious actions have managed to evade necessary scrutiny. Notably, the phone issues persisted for years following the conclusion of my arbitration, established to rectify these faults

Confronting Despair

The independent arbitration consultants demonstrated a concerning lack of impartiality. Instead of providing clear and objective insights, their guidance to the arbitrator was often marked by evasive language, misleading statements, and, at times, outright falsehoods.

Flash Backs – China-Vietnam

In 1967, Australia participated in the Vietnam War. I was on a ship transporting wheat to China, where I learned China was redeploying some of it to North Vietnam. Chapter 7, "Vietnam—Vietcong," discusses the link between China and my phone issues.

A Twenty-Year Marriage Lost

As bookings declined, my marriage came to an end. My ex-wife, seeking her fair share of our venture, left me with no choice but to take responsibility for leaving the Navy without adequately assessing the reliability of the phone service in my pursuit of starting a business.

Salvaging What I Could

Mobile coverage was nonexistent, and business transactions were not conducted online. Cape Bridgewater had only eight lines to service 66 families—132 adults. If four lines were used simultaneously, the remaining 128 adults would have only four lines to serve their needs.

Lies Deceit And Treachery

I was unaware of Telstra's unethical and corrupt business practices. It has now become clear that various unethical organisational activities were conducted secretly. Middle management was embezzling millions of dollars from Telstra.

An Unlocked Briefcase

On June 3, 1993, Telstra representatives visited my business and, in an oversight, left behind an unlocked briefcase. Upon opening it, I discovered evidence of corrupt practices concealed from the government, playing a significant role in the decline of Telstra's telecommunications network.

A Government-backed Arbitration

An arbitration process was established to hide the underlying issues rather than to resolve them. The arbitrator, the administrator, and the arbitration consultants conducted the process using a modified confidentiality agreement. In the end, the process resembled a kangaroo court.

Not Fit For Purpose

AUSTEL investigated the contents of the Telstra briefcases. Initially, there was disbelief regarding the findings, but this eventually led to a broader discussion that changed the telecommunications landscape. I received no acknowledgement from AUSTEL for not making my findings public.

A Non-Graded Arbitrator

Who granted the financial and technical advisors linked to the arbitrator immunity from all liability regarding their roles in the arbitration process? This decision effectively shields the arbitration advisors from any potential lawsuits by the COT claimants concerning misconduct or negligence.<

The AFP Failed Their Objective

In September 1994, two officers from the AFP met with me to address Telstra's unauthorised interception of my telecommunications services. They revealed that government documents confirmed I had been subjected to these violations. Despite this evidence, the AFP did not make a finding.&am

The Promised Documents Never Arrived

In a February 1994 transcript of a pre-arbitration meeting, the arbitrator involved in my arbitration stated that he "would not determination on incomplete information.". The arbitrator did make a finding on incomplete information.
