Criminal Intent

Exposing the Truth. Helping People Find True Justice. ... This story is a call to action. It's an urgent plea to resolve the injustices inflicted upon the sixteen COT Cases

In January 2018, my partner, Cathy, was with me for my first appointment with our local doctor after I had survived a heart attack and double bypass surgery.  Although the doctor was very sympathetic to my situation (and knows my COT story), he couldn’t help but ask:  “Why am I not surprised?”

It is June 2023, and every time I revisit our website at absentjustice.com to finalize various sections, I feel anxious as I re-read the complex details of the true and terrible story. Unfortunately, I find myself stuck, unable to find the right words to finish this dreadful tale. No matter what I do, I can't adequately explain the disaster we have all struggled with for many years. One of the main reasons for this problem is that none of the COT cases, including honest Australian citizens, should have ever been forced into a situation that led to many still-unaddressed crimes. These crimes were committed against us while we were officially part of a government-endorsed legal arbitration process. The problem for the COTs has two parts.

First, some individuals who worked with Telstra are now identified as having carried out those still-unaddressed crimes. The second is Telstra itself, an organization with so much power that it could prevent anyone, including government authorities, from investigating any of those crimes, as absentjustice.com shows. I'd like to stress that every detail recorded on the website is accurate and supported by irrefutable evidence that can be easily accessed from the site.

It's also important to note that, after a recent discussion with other members of the COT group, we decided to release our stories to the public just as they are on the website now. This decision was made considering the stress that we are all still suffering, even though two of us are currently very ill.

At the time of writing this letter, I had no sound knowledge that Telstra had intercepted my faxes and was possibly still doing so. It was not until three years after my arbitration was over that the government were officially advised at least four COT cases had faxes, between them, their lawyers and various senators, scanned, possibly copied, and then redirected on to the intended destination. Evidence I supplied to the arbitrator shows at least six claim documents faxed from my machine, and my journal shows all six sent, did not arrive at his office. Even though his own secretary confirmed this was the case, he still did not investigate where these six claim documents ended up.

Despite two professional technical consultants advising, in their report, that a third machine intercepted numerous COT cases documents (see (see Open Letter File No/12 and File No/13), the arbitration process continued along its merry way. The arbitrator and his resource unit received hundreds of thousands of dollars in professional fees, while allowing the Telstra Corporation to destroy the very people who trusted the arbitrator, Dr Hughes, to ensure they received justice.

In fact one of the two technical consultants/signatories attesting to the validity of their findings in that report on 17 December 2014 wrote to me noting:

"...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 proved" (see Front Page Part One File No/14)
