It is imperative to unveil the disturbing details within the AFP transcripts from 10 February 1994, where the treacherous machinations of individuals like Superintendent Jeffrey Penrose, Detective Sergeant Cochrane, Graham Schorer—who masquerades as a spokesperson for the COT Cases—and Amanda Davis, a former government official, came to light. In a chilling display of negligence, they discussed a briefcase that Telstra had carelessly abandoned at my business, a briefcase that held the names of numerous individuals. Like Mr. Schorer and me, we were all victims of a grotesque invasion of privacy, subjected to the ruthless interception and monitoring of our telephone conversations without so much as a whisper of consent.

The transcripts, specifically on pages 37, 38, and 39 AFP evidence file GS 18, starkly reveal that Mr. Schorer laid bare the sinister truth to the AFP: former Telstra employee Mr. Marr had supplied damning evidence of this telephone interception to Senator Bob Collins. This dark revelation hints at a vast, oppressive network of surveillance that preyed on innocent lives, all without remorse or accountability.

It is essential to inform the reader that Wayne Goss, mentioned in Ann Garms' letter attached as document (See File Ann Garms 104 Document) dated 17 August 2017, was the former Premier of Queensland. Therefore, when he advised Ann that gaslighting techniques were used against us, the COT cases, he was well-positioned within the establishment to make such a significant statement.

On 1 June 2021, Mathias Cormann officially assumed office as the Secretary-General of the OECD in Paris, France. Similarly to Australia's former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, he possesses comprehensive knowledge about the legitimacy of the COT Cases claims.  

•  Superintendent Jeffrey Penrose

•  Detective Sergeant Cochrane

•  Graham Schorer, who masqueraded as a spokesperson for the COT Cases

•  Amanda Davis, a former government official

The transcripts () reveal a sinister truth:

This was not speculation—it was a direct admission. And yet, when we sought access to these tapes, we were met with a wall of obstruction.

 

As the COT Cases entered arbitration, we pleaded for access to the incriminating tapes. But they were denied under the Freedom of Information Act, and similarly withheld during discovery. This was not a legal technicality—it was a deliberate act of concealment. The tapes, potentially devastating to Telstra, were buried to protect powerful interests at the expense of our dignity and rights.

 

Government officials chose to protect their own reputations rather than the welfare of their citizens. They concealed critical evidence of phone tapping, even as other disturbing allegations emerged—implicating Senator Collins in obscenely troubling conduct during the very period he was involved in the COT matters.

In her letter dated 17 August 2017 (), Ann Garms referenced Wayne Goss, former Premier of Queensland. His chilling assertion:

This was psychological warfare—designed to erode our legitimacy, fracture our resolve, and dismantle our sense of self.

Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia, had full knowledge of the COT Cases and the evidence we presented.

Both received Ann Garms’ letters. Both remained silent.

Their complicity in this landscape of obfuscation and treachery cannot be ignored.

 

It is a story of betrayal.

Of institutional rot.

Of the unrelenting courage it takes to stand against it.
