Howdy y'all in Tanzania, Ireland, Poland, and Brazil and to y'all all elsewhere, welcome to TMGI...more of my own Court stuff to catch you up on, and plenty of other related shizzle with the ICAC livin'-it large in the local media...(what happened to Mt Gambier City Council's shenanigans re referring the rankly corrupt MGCC Mayor Andrew Lee?-Ed)...yeah, that's one of them and we'll get to that...latest though, is the announcement that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will be investigating the Oakden Nursing Home Abuse Cover-up/Scandal... (**some minor sync problems in this post, some referrals to 'today' which is now last Friday, etc, but should be alright...also some minor over-all Language Warning for a bit of 'f***' work...you'll understand why when y'all see it I'm sure...anyhoos, cheers...**)
No Apologies:...for goin' a bit nutso at a coupla' Class A Clowns in the last post, namely Wattle Range Council Mayor Peter 'The White Wizard' Gandolfi and alleged surgeon Barney 'McClusterF***' McCusker...I've had a very long week of having those names shoved repeatedly into my face and/or earholes...(a-holes in your earholes? that can be very annoying-Ed)...and they're just a relatively randomly picked crop from a field of corrupt candidates...li'l McCluster isn't the only local medico I've had problems with, not least of all with the extraordinary series of events re my Lymphoma multiple mis-diagnosis and eventual Chemo/Radiotherapy treatment in 2004/05...Gandolfi isn't the only selfish liar I've met in politics...(not to mention the ones you haven't actually met!-Ed)...well indeed...(and in a small town even the big minds can be so incredibly small-Ed)...not just in a small town mate, not just in a small town...(and then there's all that 'character assassination' shizzle with people repeatedly and relentlessly attacking you behind your back, eg, what happened sortta' recently at the gym you got kicked-out of-Ed)...indeed Ed, it's hard not to feel like a walking target when you are...
**Mr McCluster was also interviewed last week on ABC Radio National re experimenting on his patients, and was glowingly applauded by a woman guest...(apologies, she was head honcho or whatevs of some medical organisation or similar, sorry, never actually heard that bit)... but when Barney was politely pushed to provide specific data, he couldn't really...(now that's some top-notch sciencing right there-Ed)...and further apologies to keep bangin'-on about him, but my knackered knees daily remind me of just how much McClusterF*** I've had in my life...(and fair enough-Ed)...at best he just didn't care and was grossly incompetent, but I believe that his bigotry and bias led to him deliberately mis-treating me, and I'd sue him sideways-into-next-week if I thought I had a snowballs chance in one of those lovely little backyard, wood-fired, brick kiln-style pizza ovens, you know the ones...(ooo I do like them-Ed)...they're nice, aren't they...(GET ON WITH ITTT!!!-Availees)...sorry, I'd sue if I thought I had any chance of proving it in a South Australian Court...(and again, fair enough-Ed)**
Going Round In Circles:...if I've been at all unfair, it's to have only named these 2 stooges...as availees are well aware, across many posts, I've fundamentally defined the rankly complicit corruption, particularly re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up starting June 2002, of a bewildering blizzard of local, state, and federal politicians and various government Authorities/Departments...in my corner of reality, I can draw a very short, very straight, very thick, very dark line directly from the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, through local MP Rory McEwen and the pro-paedophile faction of the South Australian Labor Party...(sooo, the South Australian Labor Party-Ed)...indeed, and from there, straight to our first female Prime Minister, SA Labor product Julia Gillard, who instigated a Child Abuse Royal Commission that refused/failed to look at the St Martins case, and didn't officially ask the Lutherans one single question...(hey, whatta' ya' know, it's a circle not a line-Ed)...indeed, a very short circle from St Martins, through Labor/Gillard, via a Royal Commission and back to St Martins...but I digress...
Clutching At An Oval-Shaped Straw Liferaft:...as The Advertiser journo Daniel Wells has written a hilarious piece about just exactly how fundamentally rooted South Australia is...(there's nothing funny about that-Ed)...except he offers as his exception to that observation, the good news story that is the New Adelaide Oval, apparently, and that's just hilarious...(but I thought you said that the 'new' Adelaide Oval is a piss-poorly designed and ugly embarrassment, and a fiscal disaster for the State, a disaster born of the Rann/Weatherill Labor government's knee-jerk 2010 Election promise to match the Liberals 'New Oval' plan, an un-funded Labor promise that therefore forced the corrupt sale of the South East Forestry Estate? I thought you said that?-Ed)...indeed I did, and here I go again, a corrupt joke that has destroyed a huge chunk of SA's income, a corrupt joke conjured by an irretrievably incompetent and rankly corrupt pro-paedophile Labor Party...(so your point is that young Danny's highpoint is a fiscal debasco (debacle/fiasco) mired in standard Labor Party corruption, and that continues to cost South Australians literally $$$millions per day?-Ed)...spot on...and although I generally don't follow Twitter or Facebook, Instagram, etc, I note that this article was supported, as tweeted, by Senator Nick Xenophon...
Elephant? What Elephant?:...ABC South East continues it's fine tradition of lying to South East residents on behalf of a corrupt Labor Government and a deeply corrupted SAPol...and as for today's latest load of complete shizzle, saying yet again that violence is no greater issue here than anywhere else...and for a SAPol spokesperson to state that a recent assault/brawl/murder is "a one-off, not common to the area at all", wow...(but that's absolute bollocks! as long as I've lived in Mt Gambier, 20 years, exactly this sort of violence has occurred almost every weekend in Mt Gambier, and it barely ever gets reported, the only difference is that this time someone was killed, and it therefore can't be just ignored-Ed)...or can it?...it's not safe on Mt Gambier streets and hasn't been for quite some time, and for all I know, never has been...across 20 years, I am personally aware of several people who have been violently 'bashed', including a current Mt Gambier City Councillor, but it's rarely-if-ever hit the Mt Gambier media...this latest interview follows-on from the extraordinary ABC SE interview last week with a woman from Centacare or AC Care or wherevs/whatevs, speaking from Adelaide I think, saying 'ít's all just fine in Mt Gambier, everything's fine'...ludicrous...
Obviously it is already being widely discussed/expressed across Mt Gambier, but because someone is facing a murder charge and the investigation is still current/active/whatevs, it's not appropriate to comment on this case specifically...I'm more than happy to comment on the sheeting shower of shizzle re my own Court stuff re talking about ICAC, etc, but I ain't gunna' set myself up to be blamed for a failed investigation/prosecution/whatevs, ie, interference on 'social media' has already been reported, eg, threats against witnesses, etc, etc, and it is a well-publicised issue that comments made on 'social media' can potentially compromise legal proceedings, etc, etc...I ain't settin' myself up to be blamed for a failed investigation, whatevs, but this official response that everything is fine, just fine, as being profusely pissed right in my ear by the ABC, that's just not gunna' fly...(well clearly it's not fine!-Ed)...exactly...
And many people are questioning SAPol's response...(so what exactly have SAPol done?-Ed)...well they've apparently 'spoken to those involved' and sent Social Workers or some other shizzle-laden idiots into schools 'to talk to the distressed kids about feeling safer'...(why? what the shreck has that got to do with SAPol? get the shreck out of our classrooms and go charge the perpetrators!-Ed)...indeed, SAPol very much appear to be trying to appear to be doing something, but talking to people appears to be the extent of it thus far...(want to make the kiddies feel safer? yeah? how's about just charging and gaoling all those responsible for this violence?-Ed)...or how's about when a teacher molests and abuses a class of 7 year old kids, you charge the teacher rather than attack the parents...(that sounds just like what SAPol did re the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up-Ed)...indeed it is Ed, exactly that, that's exactly what I was referring to, and round we go straight back into my Court stuff where-in SAPol are clearly committed to persecuting me in retribution for this 'ere blog, but particularly for the St Martins stuff...
**and of course this persecution involves multiple involvements by the ICAC, namely, that's what I'm in big twubble for mister, for talking about whatevs, and then I have apparently been investigated myself by ICAC, whom/what done refer it to SAPol (police) Anti-Corruption Branch and 'Operation Baritone', etc, etc...(you're a Double Dipper buddy-Ed)...a what?...(a Double-Dipper, you've been twice into the ICAC over the one issue-Ed)...not really, when the ICAC probed me personally, that was because I allegedly breached...(arghhh, thar she blows!-Ed)...well I'm a man, but sure, I've allegedly breached the otherwise undefinable ICAC Act 2012 by allegedly discussing ICAC's alleged investigation of Mt Gambier City Council, etc, etc...(there's a lot of 'allegedly' going on-Ed)...yeah, it's just legal jargon, you wouldn't understand...(apparently-Ed)...no no, 'allegedly'... **
Breaking News:...because it's just been announced in Adelaide that Premier Jay 'The Shiny Man' Weatherill and Health Minister Jack 'The Rat' Snelling, and Mental Health Minister Leesa 'Definitely Not A Union Stooge' Vlahos are all absolutely guilty and are going to be charged for their complicit role in the horrendous abuses committed against elderly high-needs Mental Health patients at Oakden Nursing Home...(really? Ray Jay, Jumping Jack Rat, and 'The Third Stooge' are all getting charged? that doesn't sound at all likely-Ed)...oh yeah, it's all going to be fine, just fine...(ok, here we go, I know that tone, I know that look-Ed)...nah, come on, it's all just goin' to be just fine...(get on with it-Ed)...well, mate, my new bestie and in his spare-time also ICAC Commissioner Bruce Lander is going to investigate the Oakden Nursing Home scandal...(oh gourd, I knew it was something, I knew it just couldn't mean what you said, we all knew, right availees?-Ed)...(GET ON WITH ITTT!!!!-Availees)...yeah, fair enough...
Having A Whale Of A Time:...following-on from the bizarre calls by the Sow Strayn Law Society (the SALS) for ICAC to get amongst it re Oakden...(ah yes, we discussed this previous, where-in just discussing the potential of any ICAC investigation is in fact a full flukes-out, back-slapping breach of the ICAC Act 2012, section 56 (a)&(b)-Ed)...indeed...(being the exact section of the ICAC Act 2012 what you is charged with-Ed)...mmhm...(so in just publicly suggesting that ICAC get involved, regardless of the issue or where it might be re an investigation, etc, just by saying this the SALS have breached the ICAC Act 2012-Ed)...again, yes...(but what does that mean re Mt Gambier City Council's extraordinary Special Meeting of January 31st 2017 when they discussed/voted on whether or not to take Mayor Andrew Lee's blatant and lie-laden 'winery purchase/ownership' corruption to ICAC? isn't that also a breach?-Ed)...mate, that's more flippin' breaches than an Uber-pod of Viagra-ed Humpbacks could manage in full day of flukes-out frisky frollickings...(well f*** me-Ed)...a simple 'strewth' would have sufficed...(well, I'm sorry, but honestly...and ICAC's gunna sort out Oakden? sure-Ed)...
Nah, hold on, fair go, Bruce reckons that there may possibly be some mismanagement issues...(orrr strewth, f*** me again-Ed)...Ed! language young man! what has gotten into you?...(orr, you know, the fact that ICAC/Bruce are now 'investigating' Oakden to me confirms exactly that the Weatherill Labor government is fully complicit and absolutely responsible for the running of and conditions at Oakden and therefore need their collective incompetence and cowardice and corruption officially hidden-Ed)...and?...(and enter ICAC-Ed)...exactly, this is exactly what the South Australian ICAC was conceived, designed, constructed and implemented to do, to cover-up the rank pro-paedophile corruption that defines this sad, sick State...(and I thought that's what we had Royal Commissions for?-Ed)...a most excellent point Ed...
Tomorrow: More Court Stuff
And yes I know, we didn't quite get there today, again, but given that it's now been adjourned and/or postponed to August 2017...(so we're still going ahead?-Ed)..apparently...(and SAPol Officer Gardner will be back from Sick Leave to continue and eventually conclude her evidence under your stern and terse cross-examination?-Ed)...dunno', just know that it's set-down for another 5 days in August...(another 5 days? 5 whole days? but there's only SAPol's Gardner and 3 other important but relatively minor witnesses to go-Ed)...which you'd think might possibly run to a full day...(are we starting again from scratch or something?-Ed)...dunno, don't think so, the phone line wasn't great, the call lasted only minutes, and then the Magistrate (Dixon? sorry) hung-up, but there was no mention of re-starting or anything like that that I heard...(5 more days?-Ed)...tomorrow dude, tomorrow...
Breaking Wind News:...apparently the latest 'report' re the September 2016 State-wide black-out, states that Wind Turbines weren't to blame or were somehow responsible, again referring to them as some sort of sentient beings that are conciously responsible for their own actions...(whaaa?-Ed)...you know, this discussion about how the Turbines 'shut themselves off', and 'the system did what it's supposed to do to protect itself'...(what is this, The Freakin' Terminator Vs The Shreckin' Matrix? 'nobody quite knows exactly when the Turbines self-realised, but Humanity was doomed from that day'-Ed)...well quite, yet the fundamental reality that saw South Australia completely 'blacked-out' in September 2016 was that AEMO (NEMO?, whatevs) pulled the plug on SA because our frailties/failures threatened to 'crash' Victoria and even NSW, we've covered this stuff repeatedly in TMGI...(and isn't that fundamental reality still very much, well, reality?-Ed)...as I understand it, yes, and no number of Interconnectors and/or Mass Battery Storage and/or Emergency Gas-fired Plants is gunna' stop it happening again...and Reality 2 - the unreliable and intermittent and often wildly fluctuating production of Wind Turbines make us vulnerable...
COAGulation:...is the collective and/or descriptive noun for the meeting of Premiers, First Ministers, the PM, etc...(ah, COAG, the Council of Australian Governments-Ed)...yep...(so a gathering of said Premiers, Ministers, etc, with the PM, that's a 'COAGulation', nice-Ed)...nice? or a pack of bloody clots?...(ah maestro, 'COAGulation - a pack of bloody clots', it almost writes itself-Ed)...almost...
Well Shiver Me' Timbers:...as the ABC South East Radio talks Forestry Planting with John Stoke of the Australian Forestry Products Assoc...(but haven't we here at TMGI been repeatedly bangin'-on about how there's never any discussion about planting during these many stories about record log exports via Portland, etc, and associated logging and/or trucking jobs available, etc? we're always on about it, 'where are the planting jobs?' we say-Ed)...indeed we do...but apparently John's job is new to him and involves 'policy and advocacy', and his main focus is on 'the need to open many new areas for logging' and pursuing that policy agenda with government...(why new areas? what about all of the recently cleared ground available?-Ed)...dunno, not mentioned that I heard, just stuff about low planting rates and high demand and how that logically affects future availability of forest products, etc, and pursuing good policy re his main 3 issues, 1) water, 2) energy affordability and security, and 3) infrastructure, ie, roads, and that he'd be pushin' this stuff re politicians re the March 2018 state election...
When asked about SA Labor government's disastrous 'Energy Plan', he said something about how the SE is working on it, potentially a SE gas turbine and/or a range of sources, but that there's not enough focus on bio-energy...asked if the acknowledged low numbers of new plantings meant it was too late for the SE, Mr Stoked said no, just do what we/AFPA says and address this now and that he encourages government to act/invest/whatevs re the SE before that small planting window closes thus irretrievably compromising future availability, and he straight-out identified that a small supply means an increased cost ...(I didn't here him explain exactly how that shortage/cost would affect availability for local SE mills, etc, and therefore impact on local SE jobs-Ed)...no, I did not hear mentioned the final step of that local supply/cost/job chain...(well thank gourdness though, I was gunna' say that this looked like one of those rankly agenda-ed media responses to stuff from right here on this 'ere blog, ie, address our concerns about the lack of discussion or even mention of planting jobs, by doing a story that covers that stuff but without actually addressing the fundamental issues/problems-Ed)...well sarcasmed Ed...(ta'-Ed)...
I struggle to believe that it's purely by accident that this interview 1) acknowledged but avoided asking directly about 'planting jobs', 2) didn't seem to include mention of 'pines' or 'logging' specifically, what I heard was almost all about hardwood (woodchips), mostly from Victoria...then 3) didn't ascertain as to what strategy the AFPA has to address the lack of planting, his '3 Main Points' didn't include planting, and then 4) didn't ask the ultimate and damning question about where this is unavoidably headed, namely, unaffordable log prices for local mills and therefore closures and massive job losses, entire communities across the SE collapsing, etc, and 5) that it's looming on the horizon because if the trees ain't in the ground round-about now, there ain't gunna' be not nuthin' to log/chip real soon...and remember that 141 Plantations are reportedly clear-felling trees well below the usual 'Rotation-age' of 30+ years, often well below, so that cycle could come round and run us over from behind well inside 20 years...(yay-Ed)...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
***Broken News:...the South East Community Legal Service is being shut-down by the rankly corrupt Rann/Weatherill Labor government, whom in best fashion, are blaming the Federal Liberals...services close in only 1 month...(what?!-Ed)...orrr yeah, end of June 2017, with the loss of at least 5 jobs and catastrophic effects for low-incomers, single parents, pensioners, etc, and particularly in the areas of Social Security Law, Family Law, or Domestic Violence...this is a corrupt cowardly disgrace from a corrupt and cowardly government, allegedly all over a relative pittance, less than $2million state-wide...Attorney General John Rau, you are a cowardly and lying disgrace, typical of your lying and cowardly Labor Party...corrupt, cowardly, disgraceful...this is yet a further step in the definable Labor government agenda of isolating and undermining the South East as a community...this will now be tomorrow's subject...(and fair enough!-Ed)...bloody disgrace...***

Just A Long, Random, Angry Post...Cheers
Hello availees goin' bonkers in Honkers (Hong Kong), cuttin' crook in Kenya, indicating indignant incredulity in Indonesia, and to you all in Ukraine whom have been conspicuous by your absence for many weeks, but I do appreciate that y'all got some shizzle goin' on...and a big shout-out to the poor li'l blighter in China who's likely job it is to monitor this 'ere blog...not quite exactly the same number, but near enough to 1 'view' per post in China to suggest that 'a person' is availing themselves of this 'ere blog...cheers mate/mate-ette...(oh dear, imagine trying to decipher some of your wondrous word wizardry with English as a non-primary language, strewth, the beloved Mother Tongue is complicated nightmare enough before you start friggin' about with it!-Ed)...you can talk!...
And it's why I try to be more than just a barrelling gale of gloomage and failuring, and occasionally make-up stupid versions of words just to break it up a bit...(poor mate/mate-ette in China'? what about poor bloody Spell Check? no wonder it looks the way it does!-Ed)...yeah, but we have some good times don't we? how's about Debasco: where a careening debacle tail-ends a lumbering fiasco, or, Pariahtisation: when the first priority is to isolate and attack the Whistleblower, Sow Strayan ICAC-style, or, Farticle: a farcical article that really stinks...what about them...(yeah alright, you have ya' moments-Ed)...and you Ed, you yourself are a confected (or created) literary device that/whom developed somewhat organically as a way of discussing opposing opinions/ideologies/whatevs rather than just writing lists of pros and cons or just lecturing at availees, etc, and to set-up conversations with availees and/or comedy routine-type exchanges, etc...('availees' is another one-Ed)...sorry?...(well 'availees' is another word you've made-up-Ed)...well quite, Availee: a person who avails themselves of this 'ere blog, likely to be a highly intelligent and very attractive person...
Russian To Don's Defence;...just not really very hilarious because of the extraordinary seriousness of the whole situation, but concern aside, nearly fell off my chair to hear USofA National Security Advisor, (General) HR 'Puff-n-Stuff' McMaster, huffin' and puffin' his way through a statement about 'why it's alright for President Don to discuss sensitive Israeli-sourced intelligence material with the Russians'...(I struggle with the concept that Donald Trump was ever in possession of any intelligence of any description, from anywhere-Ed)...mmm, I think there's something in that for all of us...
Water-Sports-Gate:...or as suggested to me by my go-to source for my info re the Politiqué Americán, 'Weeweeleaks'...(nice-Ed)...re the circling rumours/reports/stories re Donald Trump having been recorded video-wise with some Russian prostitutes peeing all over his Moscow hotel room and/or him and/or them, whatevs, and it was allegedly the room where the Obamas stayed and that's why Don done do it, etc, etc...whatevs...what's so hilarious is that this is the least concerning of all the potential leaks re Don and the Russians...(yay...well you know what they say?-Ed)...hmmm?...(when you're in Russia-Ed)...well I don't know exactly when the 'urinating' incident happened...(no no, not 'when was the urine done in Russia', I meant 'when you're in Russia, do as the Russians do'-Ed)...oh right, yeah, I'm fairly sure that the average Russian doesn't go about just politico-protest peeing on places or people...(how's about, 'when you're in Russia, do urine on the Russian doona'-Ed)...I've not heard them say that, ever...(really? it is common parlance down our way-Ed)...you made that up...(mate! of course I made it up, I'm made-up!-Ed)...dah yeah sure, sometimes I forget...
Dear Ruskey Availees:...all jesting aside, at least your illustrious leader doesn't hide from you, so it's a massive Ozzie good on ya' Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull for skulking unannounced into Mt Gambier for a few hours on Monday May 15th 2017, attending a Liberal Party stoogefest, and then shootin'-off again...(he also went to the ABC South East and The Border Watch-Ed)...well ABC, ok, but TBW? why?...(good gourd, I don't know, perhaps local Federal Liberal, Member for Barker, Tony Pasin, perhaps Tony had explained how important TBW is in maintaining the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up, and how TBW is suffering the fall-out of being so obviously and rancidly 'agenda-ed', biased, and corrupt that their credibility is all-but-shot and so-then their precious circulation and therefore their influence is plummetting!-Ed)...pathetic all 'round Malcolm, absolutely pathetic, and possibly the lowest point in an otherwise dismally disappointing PM-ship...
Local alleged surgeon Barney 'McClusterf***' McCusker appeared to be trying to use his forehead to check Mal Mal's prostate...and then there's this truly bizarre revelation that Barney the dinosaur has been not giving his patients antibiotics...and if dear ol' Barney wants to have a wee barney with me about his rank hackness, say for example, threatening me with defamation, then perhaps he need consider how much I would enjoy the opportunity to get his shonkiness onto the public record officially...and confident as I am that his provable incompetence and bias and self-important bigotry re me are defence enough to any claims of 'defamation', I can't imagine, Barney, that I'd be the only person to rock-up to give account to your arrogance and incompetence...(you say that almost as if you have specific patients/incidents in mind-Ed)...don't I though...
Barney's pig-ignorant bigotry and incompetence saw me, as his patient, wait well over a year for even an Initial Consultation, in which he asked/commented 'which is the bad knee?'...(meaning they were both pretty bad?-Ed)...well exactly, and from there it took nearly 3 years for him to not organise an MRI scan in Adelaide...when an appointment was finally made, it wasn't for a scan, it was with some specialist for some alleged 'referral' for a scan, thusly requiring a second trip for an actual scan, and even that 'referral referral' was suddenly cancelled only days-out, with the Royal Adelaide Hospital blaming Barney's office...(who in turn blamed the RAH?-Ed)...exactly again Ed...eventually, after nearly 5 years of being screwed-about, I asked for my records so's I could go elsewhere and actually get something done, and li'l McCluster wrote the most bigotted, biased and critical 'medical report' that his little Right mind could conjure...(what a dickhead!-Ed)...
And thanks to McCluster's powers to ClusterF*** everything he touches, I wound-up at Portland Hospital in Victoria, to immediately get sent to Warnnambool for an MRI, where I joked that this put Mt Gambier in Warnnambool Hospital's service catchment, etc, and immediately was placed on the waiting list for a Knee Replacement...and it was the way that the Portland crew reacted when I stated what had happened re Mt Gambier and Barney, etc, it was the look of pity and recognition because, as they stated, 'you're far from the first, we've heard it all before'...and thanks to McCluster's incompetence I went from a retrievable knee reconstruction patient to an irreparable-needs-replacing one...'postpone surgery as long as possible because you're still a young man' said the doctor re my now irreparable knee requiring a full replacement...(well done McCluster...did I mention 'dickhead'?-Ed)...no where near often enough mate, no where near often enough...
And now, now McCluster is getting nationwide coverage for experimenting on his patients by not giving them antibiotics...(nooo?!-Ed)...orrr yeah...(but of course, in some sort of carefully monitored clinical trial?-Ed)...absolutely not, just Barney deciding Barney knows better...(but surely his patients must have signed disclaimers/approvals/whatevs? he can't just not treat people because he chooses to, can he?-Ed)...dunno' mate, but I'm fairly certain that some of his colleagues are none-too pleased judging by the 'discussion' on the ABC South East Radio...(yeah, fair call...and wasn't he on Today Tonight as well, re the Australia Post practice of sending all Mt Gambier mail to Adelaide for sorting, meaning that letters can take a week or even longer to get from Mt Gambier to Mt Gambier? wasn't he on about that?-Ed)...yep, on ABC SE Radio in the morning and on Channel 7 Today Tonight that evening...a very odd coincidence...
And on down that rabbit hole because recently I stood on my set-top box remote control thingy, fixing it beyond repair and jamming the box and therefore telly on 'Initial Program', and had to get a new box, and was without telly at all for a coupla' nights...took the opportunity to check-out some BlackAdder, particularly the Series Three, Episode One re 'Rotten Borough'...(nice-Ed)...and The Young Ones, and The Mighty Boosh; all BBC TV I think...anyhoos, had the ABC Radio Adelaide evening program goin', not really listenin', then in bobs Mt Gambier City Council CEO Mark McShane commenting on the lack of media in the South East, mentioning particularly the pull-out/shutdown of WIN TV News services and the News In An Adbreak service we get now, to paraphrase mighty Mark McShenanigans, 'pinched from TBW'...not quite sure of over-all context or outcome, seemed just to be a chat about the bleedin' obvious importance of, but also lack of, local media coverage in Rural/Regional areas...
"Your most trusted source of news...without bias or agenda"...I mean, really? what sort of egomanic, self-important dickheads talk about themselves in those terms?...(well yes, indeed we do try to be as accurate as possible, and generally succeed, and you certainly head-kick in any-and-all directions so there's definitely no specific bias, but your 'agenda' is clearly to have some if not all of these corruptions and criminalities addressed-Ed)...fair call Ed, fair call, but not us, I was referring to the relentless ABC/BBC Radio self-promotion ad, and as discussed this week on ABC South East re the latest 'Trust Survey' that puts the ABC marginally behind several commercial stations and Social Media...(are we Social Media?-Ed)...mate, I don't know how to define us...but anyhoos, a certain 'Prof Muller' from Uni Whatevs reckons it's a bollocks survey that contradicts all previous data, data going back 50 years+ that puts the ABC way-out in front re credibility/believability/integrity/whatevs...
(This Muller dude obviously hasn't dealt with the rancidly corrupt ABC South East and the likes of Stan Thompson and Stuart Stansfield-Ed)...or the ABC's equally corrupt and fundamentally incompetent Sydney-based lawyers...howdy fellas, you sanctimoniously self-satisfied second-rate public servants, your 'appearances' by phone in the Mt Gambier Court were unquestionably the most laughable highlight of this entire, deeply corrupted process...(I thought you said that the ICAC's bizzare effort was your highlight, when they failed/refused to produce a single document re the Magistrate Anderson approved/ratified Court Summons for any-and-all info, saying that the Summons was "oppressive" and "fishing for information", and stating that it was "irrelevant" whether or not they had actually conducted their alleged investigation of Mt Gambier City Council in 2013/14, irrelevant because you were charged with 'talking about a person subject of a complaint to ICAC', not for 'talking about an ICAC investigation'...I thought that was your highlight?-Ed)...mate, I'm reeling from the highlights...
Doing The Highlights Reel:...is the wee jig I'd do if I was a dancer...(mate, you're quite light on your feet-Ed)...sure, it's other feet that are at risk...(and fair enough-Ed)...but again, here we are with the Self Esteem and Pride Sans Arrogance stuff (SEPSA) as previously discussed, 'cos I have achieved extraordinary things in my Court case, but always in a context where I'm somewhat understandably the only person who really knows what's going on...(but that's hardly your fault-Ed)...well quite...in many respects I do have a long reel of highlights re my conduct in Court and the resultant carnage for SAPol (police) Prosecutions, but my genuine concerns remain for the broader implications...this Trial process has been an unmitigated 28 month long disaster, is this how dysfunctional our Courts usually are, or do I get special treatment?...and on that exact point...
Local 'senior legal figure' Mr Thomas Rymill was also on ABC Radio re the unacceptably lengthy delays in the SA District Court, delays that see people locked-up on remand for months awaiting even basic 'committal hearings', etc, and that these delays are sometimes running-out to a full year or more...as Mr Rymill stated, this means potentially innocent peeps in gaol for a year...Mr Rymill clearly stated that this delay could be used politically, saying 'if the government doesn't like you and wants to, they can charge you with whatevs and lock you up for a year'...(wow-Ed)...indeed, and obviously I'm paraphrasing because I didn't get to write it down, but that's exactly what he said...if the government doesn't like you, they can chuck some bogus charge at ya' and you're goin' away for a year...and whilst I don't think he was specifically saying 'this government' or 'Weatherill Labor' or whatevs, he stated quite clearly that the current backlog in South Australian Courts, particularly the District Court, means that potentially innocent people are in gaol awaiting basic Pre-Trial Conferences/Bail Application hearings/whatevs...(isn't that what you've been saying?-Ed)...it's what everyone's saying, eg, the SA Law Society...
Just Briefly:...in SA, I'm in Court charged with discussing an alleged SA ICAC investigation that 'secretly' allegedly investigated and exonerated Mt Gambier City Council, etc, but in Sydney, their ICAC is holding full, open Court-style hearings about a former Oz of the Year nominee/finalist charged with stealing/de-frauding/rippin'-off several $100,000s headed into potentially $$$millions, and she's sayin' that her accountant tried to set her up with some dodgy book-keeping, and that those bank accounts in false names and her own claims/receipts/cheques/whatevs, all that's unfortunate mistakes because she's 'not great at book-work', etc, etc...(wow, that all sounds very believable, not-Ed)...and that's all been adjourned 'cos she's apparently a bit stressed-out about it all...(more Tomorrow?-Ed)...damn straight...(mmm, everyone else's fault but never hers? she could get a top job with SA Labor-Ed)...indeed...
Get Those Thievin' Dole Bludgers:...'cos they're the problem, right?...well, laugh I nearly because kazzaam! the Aussie Deputy Tax Man is directly involved in helping his son and daughter and several others rip-off $160million from the Australian Tax Office...(let me guess this one...they all get massive bail and are seen leaving Court in luxury cars?-Ed)...spot on!...and where's all the cash comin' from for that?...it's a fundamental illustration of the 'Class-laden bias' of our Courts, where-in what sort of 'justice' you get depends on who you know and how much money you have...these are irrefutable truths...and can you imagine a gang of likely lads who pull-off an overnight jewellery heist worth $160m, a heist where-in there were no actual civilians or guards or any actual person ever present or in any sort of danger, etc, etc...(a nice safe safe-job?-Ed)...exactly, but can you imagine them getting bail?...but here we have some privileged little wanker and his sister and their Pa who's been seen careening-about in the son's sports cars, etc, etc, and it's $300,000 bail and Pa the Deputy Tax Man ain't even been charged...and tell me that dole bludgers and refugees are the problem...
An ALDI Market? Super::...recently reported that German supermarket ALDI is going into the long dis-used and ugly-ly rundown Fiddlers building site with another 30 specialty shops...this might be great news potentially for a few local contractors re the demolition and then re-build, but most people quite rightly question the need for and/or viability of another '30 shops' in Mt Gambier where all 3 main shopping areas have multiple vacancies (The Main/Commercial St; Centro/Lakes Plaza area; Market Place/Penola Rd)...(I have a coupla' questions-Ed)...sure, fire away...(cheers...um, number one you've already addressed re vacancies, etc, and it's an unavoidable reality that on-line shopping and reduced 'discretionary spending' means that small business/shop owners are doin' it especially tough, and there are many vacant properties already, etc, but 2) weren't we here at TMGI only just recently bangin'-on about another dodgy attempt to sell-off part of the Mt Gambier Showgrounds, the second such attempted dodginess?-Ed)...absolutely, and call me paranoid, but my first thought when hearing this announcement was that it's bollocks being broadcast to distract away from the Mt Gambier Show Grounds Shenanigans, but apparently contracts have been signed so, who knows?...
('Contracts signed', what does that even mean? the developers and/or ALDI could fudge this along for years yet...eg, it's a known if not common practice to deliberately submit extravagant plans that a Council couldn't possibly pass, thus deliberately causing further delays, and then squabble about that for a while, etc, etc, it could go on for years-Ed)...I absolutely concur Ed, and given what's been happening over at the MG Show Grounds re the rankly corrupted attempt to flog-off a chunk to ALDI back in 2014/15, and the alleged recent re-attempt, given all that, I'll believe this ALDI/Fidlers malarchy when ALDI and the 30 shops open on that site...(and barely a mention of the Foodland supermarket about to open in the Centro (Lakes Plaza)-Ed)...indeed, we already have 2 Woolworths and a Coles and a coupla' small IGAs, and soon a Foodland, and Mt Gambier is already half-full of empty shops/premises...like I said, call me a cynic, but this 'Fidlers development' announcement reeks of distraction and deceit...
Some General Abuse:...Wattle Range Council Mayor Peter Gandolfi is a dim-witted and corrupt stooge who is wholly complicit in the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...(well he's hardly Robinson Crusoe-Ed)...and was richly rewarded for his loyalty to the St Martins Cover-up with the Mayorship...(are you suggesting that the Electoral Process in South Australia is somehow as rancidly corrupted and manipulated as every other aspect of SA life?-Ed)...absolutely, it would be a ludicrous naivety to think that a State so fundamentally pro-paedophile corrupted as SA, in a State effectively run by paedophiles for paedophiles, in a State so deeply mired in that level of corruption, that that State somehow has free and fair elections? bollocks!...for gourd sake, the Mt Gambier City Council offices were/are the Electoral Office for Local Government Elections...(wow-Ed)...and Donation Declarations are addressed to the CEO of the local Council...(wow and strewth-Ed)...which is why I continue to refuse to lodge that form...more on that laters...
And speaking of rank corruption in Local Government, I attended Mt Gambier City Council (May 16th 2017) for what turns-out was their 2017/18 Budget Meeting...(that's it?-Ed)...well apparently it's going out for 'Public Consultation'...(oh, so there'll be a series of public meetings at the Library where-in us lowly peeps get to rub opinions with the High and Mighty?-Ed)...not likely, remember the 2013/14 Budget Consultations at the MG Library? I went to all 5...(the ones where-in the then Mayor/current Councillor Steve Perryman twice tried to pick fights with you?-Ed)...hilarious...(and new-ish CEO Mark McShane laughed at you, stating that 'no-one's reading your blog Nick', to which you smilingly responded, 'yes they are Mark, and you know they are', which Mighty Mark McShenanigans in turn wittily parried with the Crimson Silence?-Ed)...'the Crimson Silence'?...(yeah, sat there silently whilst turning bright red-Ed)...clever...
The High And Mighty:...is a hilarious reference I can't believe I haven't spotted before re the extraordinary The Border Watch banner from December 2014, Drug Use In High Places, referring to SE Top-Cop SAPol (police) Superintendent Trevor Twilly stating that he is/was aware of senior people in positions of influence and control apparently using the drug 'Ice', usage apparently obviously known to the SAPol Superintendent!...
Tomorrow: More Court Stuff
Puddin' For Sweet Just Desserts:...and yet another sweet slice of Hypocritic Pie with USofA President Donald 'Duck á l'Orange' Trump bleating about how he's the worst treated politician in history and that they're (the media) out to get him, etc, etc...just extraordinary to hear Donald describe someone else, in this case sacked FBI head honcho James Comey as 'a showboat' and 'a nutter'...and something about a 'witch hunt' by the media...(a hunt for who? the Orange Witch of the West Wing?-Ed)...nice one my pretty...oh, hang on, gettin' a tweet...'Gunna' Comey that man right under my rug. that guy there gets it. USA USA USA USA USA'...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
And it's why I try to be more than just a barrelling gale of gloomage and failuring, and occasionally make-up stupid versions of words just to break it up a bit...(poor mate/mate-ette in China'? what about poor bloody Spell Check? no wonder it looks the way it does!-Ed)...yeah, but we have some good times don't we? how's about Debasco: where a careening debacle tail-ends a lumbering fiasco, or, Pariahtisation: when the first priority is to isolate and attack the Whistleblower, Sow Strayan ICAC-style, or, Farticle: a farcical article that really stinks...what about them...(yeah alright, you have ya' moments-Ed)...and you Ed, you yourself are a confected (or created) literary device that/whom developed somewhat organically as a way of discussing opposing opinions/ideologies/whatevs rather than just writing lists of pros and cons or just lecturing at availees, etc, and to set-up conversations with availees and/or comedy routine-type exchanges, etc...('availees' is another one-Ed)...sorry?...(well 'availees' is another word you've made-up-Ed)...well quite, Availee: a person who avails themselves of this 'ere blog, likely to be a highly intelligent and very attractive person...
Russian To Don's Defence;...just not really very hilarious because of the extraordinary seriousness of the whole situation, but concern aside, nearly fell off my chair to hear USofA National Security Advisor, (General) HR 'Puff-n-Stuff' McMaster, huffin' and puffin' his way through a statement about 'why it's alright for President Don to discuss sensitive Israeli-sourced intelligence material with the Russians'...(I struggle with the concept that Donald Trump was ever in possession of any intelligence of any description, from anywhere-Ed)...mmm, I think there's something in that for all of us...
Water-Sports-Gate:...or as suggested to me by my go-to source for my info re the Politiqué Americán, 'Weeweeleaks'...(nice-Ed)...re the circling rumours/reports/stories re Donald Trump having been recorded video-wise with some Russian prostitutes peeing all over his Moscow hotel room and/or him and/or them, whatevs, and it was allegedly the room where the Obamas stayed and that's why Don done do it, etc, etc...whatevs...what's so hilarious is that this is the least concerning of all the potential leaks re Don and the Russians...(yay...well you know what they say?-Ed)...hmmm?...(when you're in Russia-Ed)...well I don't know exactly when the 'urinating' incident happened...(no no, not 'when was the urine done in Russia', I meant 'when you're in Russia, do as the Russians do'-Ed)...oh right, yeah, I'm fairly sure that the average Russian doesn't go about just politico-protest peeing on places or people...(how's about, 'when you're in Russia, do urine on the Russian doona'-Ed)...I've not heard them say that, ever...(really? it is common parlance down our way-Ed)...you made that up...(mate! of course I made it up, I'm made-up!-Ed)...dah yeah sure, sometimes I forget...
Dear Ruskey Availees:...all jesting aside, at least your illustrious leader doesn't hide from you, so it's a massive Ozzie good on ya' Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull for skulking unannounced into Mt Gambier for a few hours on Monday May 15th 2017, attending a Liberal Party stoogefest, and then shootin'-off again...(he also went to the ABC South East and The Border Watch-Ed)...well ABC, ok, but TBW? why?...(good gourd, I don't know, perhaps local Federal Liberal, Member for Barker, Tony Pasin, perhaps Tony had explained how important TBW is in maintaining the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up, and how TBW is suffering the fall-out of being so obviously and rancidly 'agenda-ed', biased, and corrupt that their credibility is all-but-shot and so-then their precious circulation and therefore their influence is plummetting!-Ed)...pathetic all 'round Malcolm, absolutely pathetic, and possibly the lowest point in an otherwise dismally disappointing PM-ship...
Local alleged surgeon Barney 'McClusterf***' McCusker appeared to be trying to use his forehead to check Mal Mal's prostate...and then there's this truly bizarre revelation that Barney the dinosaur has been not giving his patients antibiotics...and if dear ol' Barney wants to have a wee barney with me about his rank hackness, say for example, threatening me with defamation, then perhaps he need consider how much I would enjoy the opportunity to get his shonkiness onto the public record officially...and confident as I am that his provable incompetence and bias and self-important bigotry re me are defence enough to any claims of 'defamation', I can't imagine, Barney, that I'd be the only person to rock-up to give account to your arrogance and incompetence...(you say that almost as if you have specific patients/incidents in mind-Ed)...don't I though...
Barney's pig-ignorant bigotry and incompetence saw me, as his patient, wait well over a year for even an Initial Consultation, in which he asked/commented 'which is the bad knee?'...(meaning they were both pretty bad?-Ed)...well exactly, and from there it took nearly 3 years for him to not organise an MRI scan in Adelaide...when an appointment was finally made, it wasn't for a scan, it was with some specialist for some alleged 'referral' for a scan, thusly requiring a second trip for an actual scan, and even that 'referral referral' was suddenly cancelled only days-out, with the Royal Adelaide Hospital blaming Barney's office...(who in turn blamed the RAH?-Ed)...exactly again Ed...eventually, after nearly 5 years of being screwed-about, I asked for my records so's I could go elsewhere and actually get something done, and li'l McCluster wrote the most bigotted, biased and critical 'medical report' that his little Right mind could conjure...(what a dickhead!-Ed)...
And thanks to McCluster's powers to ClusterF*** everything he touches, I wound-up at Portland Hospital in Victoria, to immediately get sent to Warnnambool for an MRI, where I joked that this put Mt Gambier in Warnnambool Hospital's service catchment, etc, and immediately was placed on the waiting list for a Knee Replacement...and it was the way that the Portland crew reacted when I stated what had happened re Mt Gambier and Barney, etc, it was the look of pity and recognition because, as they stated, 'you're far from the first, we've heard it all before'...and thanks to McCluster's incompetence I went from a retrievable knee reconstruction patient to an irreparable-needs-replacing one...'postpone surgery as long as possible because you're still a young man' said the doctor re my now irreparable knee requiring a full replacement...(well done McCluster...did I mention 'dickhead'?-Ed)...no where near often enough mate, no where near often enough...
And now, now McCluster is getting nationwide coverage for experimenting on his patients by not giving them antibiotics...(nooo?!-Ed)...orrr yeah...(but of course, in some sort of carefully monitored clinical trial?-Ed)...absolutely not, just Barney deciding Barney knows better...(but surely his patients must have signed disclaimers/approvals/whatevs? he can't just not treat people because he chooses to, can he?-Ed)...dunno' mate, but I'm fairly certain that some of his colleagues are none-too pleased judging by the 'discussion' on the ABC South East Radio...(yeah, fair call...and wasn't he on Today Tonight as well, re the Australia Post practice of sending all Mt Gambier mail to Adelaide for sorting, meaning that letters can take a week or even longer to get from Mt Gambier to Mt Gambier? wasn't he on about that?-Ed)...yep, on ABC SE Radio in the morning and on Channel 7 Today Tonight that evening...a very odd coincidence...
And on down that rabbit hole because recently I stood on my set-top box remote control thingy, fixing it beyond repair and jamming the box and therefore telly on 'Initial Program', and had to get a new box, and was without telly at all for a coupla' nights...took the opportunity to check-out some BlackAdder, particularly the Series Three, Episode One re 'Rotten Borough'...(nice-Ed)...and The Young Ones, and The Mighty Boosh; all BBC TV I think...anyhoos, had the ABC Radio Adelaide evening program goin', not really listenin', then in bobs Mt Gambier City Council CEO Mark McShane commenting on the lack of media in the South East, mentioning particularly the pull-out/shutdown of WIN TV News services and the News In An Adbreak service we get now, to paraphrase mighty Mark McShenanigans, 'pinched from TBW'...not quite sure of over-all context or outcome, seemed just to be a chat about the bleedin' obvious importance of, but also lack of, local media coverage in Rural/Regional areas...
"Your most trusted source of news...without bias or agenda"...I mean, really? what sort of egomanic, self-important dickheads talk about themselves in those terms?...(well yes, indeed we do try to be as accurate as possible, and generally succeed, and you certainly head-kick in any-and-all directions so there's definitely no specific bias, but your 'agenda' is clearly to have some if not all of these corruptions and criminalities addressed-Ed)...fair call Ed, fair call, but not us, I was referring to the relentless ABC/BBC Radio self-promotion ad, and as discussed this week on ABC South East re the latest 'Trust Survey' that puts the ABC marginally behind several commercial stations and Social Media...(are we Social Media?-Ed)...mate, I don't know how to define us...but anyhoos, a certain 'Prof Muller' from Uni Whatevs reckons it's a bollocks survey that contradicts all previous data, data going back 50 years+ that puts the ABC way-out in front re credibility/believability/integrity/whatevs...
(This Muller dude obviously hasn't dealt with the rancidly corrupt ABC South East and the likes of Stan Thompson and Stuart Stansfield-Ed)...or the ABC's equally corrupt and fundamentally incompetent Sydney-based lawyers...howdy fellas, you sanctimoniously self-satisfied second-rate public servants, your 'appearances' by phone in the Mt Gambier Court were unquestionably the most laughable highlight of this entire, deeply corrupted process...(I thought you said that the ICAC's bizzare effort was your highlight, when they failed/refused to produce a single document re the Magistrate Anderson approved/ratified Court Summons for any-and-all info, saying that the Summons was "oppressive" and "fishing for information", and stating that it was "irrelevant" whether or not they had actually conducted their alleged investigation of Mt Gambier City Council in 2013/14, irrelevant because you were charged with 'talking about a person subject of a complaint to ICAC', not for 'talking about an ICAC investigation'...I thought that was your highlight?-Ed)...mate, I'm reeling from the highlights...
Doing The Highlights Reel:...is the wee jig I'd do if I was a dancer...(mate, you're quite light on your feet-Ed)...sure, it's other feet that are at risk...(and fair enough-Ed)...but again, here we are with the Self Esteem and Pride Sans Arrogance stuff (SEPSA) as previously discussed, 'cos I have achieved extraordinary things in my Court case, but always in a context where I'm somewhat understandably the only person who really knows what's going on...(but that's hardly your fault-Ed)...well quite...in many respects I do have a long reel of highlights re my conduct in Court and the resultant carnage for SAPol (police) Prosecutions, but my genuine concerns remain for the broader implications...this Trial process has been an unmitigated 28 month long disaster, is this how dysfunctional our Courts usually are, or do I get special treatment?...and on that exact point...

Get Those Thievin' Dole Bludgers:...'cos they're the problem, right?...well, laugh I nearly because kazzaam! the Aussie Deputy Tax Man is directly involved in helping his son and daughter and several others rip-off $160million from the Australian Tax Office...(let me guess this one...they all get massive bail and are seen leaving Court in luxury cars?-Ed)...spot on!...and where's all the cash comin' from for that?...it's a fundamental illustration of the 'Class-laden bias' of our Courts, where-in what sort of 'justice' you get depends on who you know and how much money you have...these are irrefutable truths...and can you imagine a gang of likely lads who pull-off an overnight jewellery heist worth $160m, a heist where-in there were no actual civilians or guards or any actual person ever present or in any sort of danger, etc, etc...(a nice safe safe-job?-Ed)...exactly, but can you imagine them getting bail?...but here we have some privileged little wanker and his sister and their Pa who's been seen careening-about in the son's sports cars, etc, etc, and it's $300,000 bail and Pa the Deputy Tax Man ain't even been charged...and tell me that dole bludgers and refugees are the problem...

This Doesn't Happen, Apparently
Howdy there to Taiwan, India, Portugal and Russia...and a special howdy to Tunisia, welcome for the first time I think...anyhoos, howdy y'all, today we're just gunna' pause momentarily on the Court stuff...(not that it's going anywhere anytime soon-Ed)...other than to say...(dugh, should have seen that coming-Ed)...that yet again I find myself not actually really knowing what's happening in my own Court case, what's now been runnin' since February 3rd 2015...(well obviously, when you say it like that, it doesn't sound great-Ed)...because at this point, I am effectively in limbo, not knowing why the SAPol Investigating Officer has gone on 'sick leave' halfway through my cross-examination, nor why Magistrate White is also on 'sick leave' as of last Monday/Tuesday May 8th/9th, forcing the Trial dates of yesterday and today (May 15th/16th 2017) to be vacated...
I don't know why they've called in crook nor exactly when either is likely to return nor when my next hearing/Trial date is...the only thing I know is that Magistrate White is indisposed for a coupla' weeks at least, and SAPol Officer Gardner won't be back before August 2017...apparently I will receive a phonecall in 2 weeks (next week?) to let me know what's happening, and I think that it's Magistrate White who is going to call, so apparently he'll be back by then...again, I cannot say with any certainty what has happened nor where this is headed nor when...
But to the meat and 3 veg of today's post, please find attached this here article from The Border Watch, Friday, May 5th 2017...please note the line "released from prison on Sunday and placed on a bus to Adelaide", and in particular 'placed on a bus' indicating that some 'Authority', presumably associated with the Mt Gambier Gaol, has been directly involved...I have heard direct testimony about this happening in reverse, with releasees being dropped literally right at the bus terminus in Adelaide and getting on the next bus back here, but this is the first actual instance of this 'policy' that I've heard publicly acknowledged...(going either way-Ed)...well indeed...and that's a public bus with parents sending their often unaccompanied kids, elderly, etc, particularly on the Sunday service...and I don't care even if this guy has no previous convictions or even history re violence/child abuse/whatevs, he was known to be an alcoholic allegedly being "placed on a bus...to attend rehabilitation", and he has been in company of other inmates, many of whom are sex offenders...
...(wtf? but that doesn't happen!-Ed)...and that's the point of the title, that the Rann/Weatherill Labor government and it's various Authorities, eg, SAPol (police) and the private gaol operators G4S Custodial Services Pty Ltd and the rancidly corrupt stooge-like Mt Gambier media, etc, etc, et al, including Grant District and Mt Gambier City Councils, have all been equally complicit in denying the unpleasant realities of being a 'Gaol Town'...(ah right, yes, well that's a fair point, in that the stout yeomen and yeowomen of this fine borough have been duplicitously duped by all concerned-Ed)...and yet, ironically, no-one who lives in Mt Gambier needs anyone else to tell them what is and isn't true...(and only in the last 6-8 months have there been several severe swerves away from this denial agenda/strategy-Ed)...and then this little gem...I do not recall but may well have missed, any story anywhere that so errantly strays from the path of denial so-to-go straight under the hooves of stampeding reality...
So, so many things going on here in this article, and regular availees are going to spot most of it without my help...in numerous previous posts TMGI has identified the lies and manipulations dumped on/committed against the Mt Gambier community re the privately operated Mt Gambier Gaol...who here remembers that hilarious series about the MGG that ABC South East Radio did?...(the award winning series?-Ed)...sweet baby cheeses, don't get me started on that, but just quickly...(strewth-Ed)...the ABC SE won some 'journalism gong' for this story, a story that was a fatuous propaganda piece at the time, and has been proven wrong repeatedly since...(what? the ABC South East getting awarded for an error-laden piece of pro-Rann/Weatherill Labor propaganda? how could that possibly happen?-Ed)...and some people say that sarcasm doesn't work and is at best a cheap shot from a feeble mind, but, I dunno'?...
And that's why any 'award' that ABC South East and/or The Border Watch receive is hollow to it's core and fundamentally guts the credibility of said award and renders irrelevant that award and by default any actual decent...(and actual-Ed)...journalism that may have been thusly acknowledged, be that previous or since, even within said organisations...and in mentioning this topic, it cannot go unmentioned nor unchallenged...(and I'm sensing won't-Ed)...that Sandra Morello received a prestigious award only last year...I remind availees that in February/March 2010, in the lead-up to the March 2010 South Australian State Election, TBW was extremely embarassmented into removing Sandra from the 'political rounds' because she was sprung printing candidate Don Pegler's press releases verbatim but under her byline, like they were articles by her...(and weren't those press releases written by her husband Frank, former TBW Editor and now Country Arts boss down here?-Ed)...my mate Frank...
But I digress...repeatedly recently, even Mt Gambier City Mayor Andrew Lee has made public comments about how "disappointing" it is that Council has been told untruths by G4S (MGG operators) that incidents like this don't happen because these sort of 'on the buses' practices just don't happen, and inmates aren't released here and/or their families don't move here, and there's world-leading treatment/counselling services, etc...(wasn't it 240hrs counselling per perp?-Ed)...I think you're right Ed, 240 hrs...(and wasn't it the new Mt Gambier SAPol (police) head honcho, Supt Moyle, fresh from a 3 year stint in the ICAC, wasn't it he that said 'families of inmates do move here'?-Ed)...one of the first things I heard him 'say' after he moved here himself in (in Aug/Sept 2017?)...but apparently this doesn't happen, none of it does...(except when it does-Ed)...exactly...
Tomorrow: More Court Stuff
Ya' know, with this Court stuff, sometimes I feel like I am actually The Answer...(how so?-Ed)...just blowin' in the wind, mate, just blowin' in the wind...
Priceless:...the look on that dude's face the other day when mid-political chat I said 'I'm the Nick that's been in the paper about blogging and Court, etc'...recognition, apprehension, curiosity, and here come the questions 'why? what? when?' etc...stunned, slack-jawed struggle to process the vast raft of procedural shenanigans, and inevitably, 'how much does that bullshit cost?'...(ahhh, the most frequently asked question-Ed)...indeed, that most, but always first 'but why?'...(what has it cost exactly?-Ed)...mate, no idea...extensive involvement of the Independent Commission Against Corruption through to SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch and 'Operation Baritone', all ways back in February 2014, and then 20 hearings starting February 2015, not including 6-8 actual Trial days, witnesses back-and-forth repeatedly from Adelaide, etc, etc...how much exactly does all that cost?...
And more Rann/Weatherill SA Labor carpet-bagging/pork barrelling leading up to the March 2018 State Election...amended registration requirements and/or restrictions so as to allow mildly modified motor vehicles to be used pretty much as normal unmodified cars...and also, suddenly after 15 years running SA...(into the ground-Ed)...suddenly our illustrious leader Jay 'Shiny Man' Weatherill reckons he's gunna' be paying all public school's utilities bills...apparently school's have had to find part-funding for their utilities...(in the state-run public system?-Ed)...yeah, apparently, but Ray-Jay the Shiny Man, he's gunna' fix that das pronto, just in time for the looming March 2018 State Election...in previous posts we've covered the series of self-aggrandising stunts that Labor has been dumping through SA Parliament leading toward March 2018, eg, a grandstanding extra week of parliament last year re rights for Gays, then announcements about 'Treaties with Aboriginal people', 'Medicinal Marijuana trials and 2-monthly prescriptions', seatbelts and air-con for country school buses, etc...
Language Warning:...because apparently, reportedly Liberal Treasurer Scott Morrison has 'declared war on drug addicts and cheats and bludgers'...(oh dear-Ed)...along with his deeply compassionate mates Minister for Social Services Christian Porter, and Human Services Minister Alan Tudge...(here we go-Ed)...yes here we go, you, you low * *, again attacking those whom suffer the most, those whom already have the least, and those whom have the least ability to retaliate...you * *! you are an absolute disgrace...end Language Warning...(are you sure, we've got a ways to go with this yet-Ed)...nope, I'm fine, just not bottling-up this stuff, it's what I really believe and think, and I'm not beyond hurling abuse in the face of those whom treat others like this...(as indeed you would never even think of abusing an ABC or TBW receptionist or a traffic cop or a Court staffer or whatevs/whoevs, because it's simply just not in your nature-Ed)...absolutely, and an undeniable reality about me as a person that hopefully really pisses-off those whom don't like me...(back of the net!-Ed)...
*And ultimately I've removed the swearing, but if you dear availee, if you feel like cuttin' crook about this, please note that we have accommodated y'all by leaving a space for you to insert your own very special message for ma' main bro Mal Mal and his Malicious Pals...cheers*
And it's just so very, very absolutely Liberal to have Ministers attack the people they are meant to be representing...Social and Human Services...have these rabidly disconnected dickheads acted to support the most disenfranchised?...(well no, attacking people is rarely supporting them, generally it just exacerbates and compounds genuine issues, particularly with Mental Health issues, chronic unemployment, etc-Ed)...well exactly, but it is ultimately about political expediency and having a scapegoat to strike-down at, and introducing Mandatory Drug Testing and a National Welfare Card that part-quarantines Social Security payments, etc, etc, these are punitive measures that deny the realities of chronic Service/Treatment Provision failures, and does so by further stigmatising people already suffering...
(And remember that absolutely hilarious The Border Watch banner headline from December 12th 2014, Drug Use In High Places, referring to SAPol's Top Cop in the South East, Supt Trevor Twilley stating publicly (and on ABC Radio) that he was 'aware of people in positions of influence/polite society/whatevs, whom were using the drug 'Ice'...remember that?-Ed)...indeed I do Ed, indeed I do...(and what came of that?-Ed)...Ed? mate, really?...(ah, so absolutely nothing then-Ed)...
Given what I've seen of the Federal Liberals and their collective conduct, the complete absence of genuine morality, of any empathy, of anything other than rank ideology, and the relentlessly sanctimonious self-satisfaction, I find it very hard to believe that the chronic problems with and/or caused by this outrageous 'Automated Debt Notification' disaster is an unfortunate error or malfunction...this would seem to be a proven proposition given that the Federal Libs haven't just not apologised for the stress-laden bollocks that's been tipped on many people whom have no debt what-so-ever, but the Liberal Party have defended and supported this class-laden bastardry...and now it's 'compulsory drug testing' and a potentially massive expansion of the wholly obnoxious 'Welfare Card'...
And on good ol Sow Straya we just have to take it to ludicrous extremes in that sanctimoniously Fascist way that this SA Labor Party represents/embodies...Star Chamber-style ICAC with massive powers that has already demonstrably defined itself as the bastion of State Government corruption, not the resolution; virtual 'open powers' to SAPol officers via 'go anywhere, do whatevs' perpetual Search Warrants, as issued by the SAPol Commissioner every 6 months, etc...and these same Labor clowns have been crowing about Medicinal Marijuana trials yet at the same time raiding and prosecuting Jenny Hallam who is/was supplying approx 200 patients...and now these same rankly corrupt and selfish idiots are holding-forth again in that biliously sanctimonious way about 'automatic 3 month license loss for a positive drug test, be it grass/meth/whatevs'...(well that's just wrong and stupid and stupidly wrong on so many levels-Ed)...indeed...more next post...
And the South East's most prestigious horse racing carnival thingy got a tad bogged-down last week when race officials were initially fogged-out and their poor wee li'l planey thing couldna' land until later...(after all of the problems with multiple cancellations in recent years, including that time a meeting was moved to Keith or Bordertown 'cos the Glenburnie (Mt Gambier) track was a treacherous swamp, and then the whole thing got cancelled when the officials plane either didn't leave Adelaide or couldn't land, whatevs, due to extremely high winds-Ed)...indeed, you'd reckon that with their very poor track track-record, that gettin' everything in place the night before just to be absolutely sure, ya' know, it wouldn't hurt...(has anyone done a hilarious joke yet about how the track is so vulnerable to moisture that it doesn't actually have to condense beyond mist to really root things-up? anyone?-Ed)...all yours mate...
And just when you'd thought you'd seen every low and cowardly act that Premier Jay Weatherill could conjure, this pathetic refusal to accept responsibility for the Oakden Nursing Home scandal is indeed a new low...disgracefully and wholly cowardice of the lowest order...and to then whinge about how it's some-one else's fault and that somehow he's been kept in the dark, like somehow he/Labor are the victims here, 'it's just not good enough that apparently no-one in the entire Labor government knew anything about it' bleats Jay...(so he's saying that nobody in the Labor Party had any idea at all about the Oakden issues?-Ed)...yep...(nuthin' at all, ever, until it when ballistically pear-shaped just a few weeks ago?-Ed)...that's what he reckons...might have said 'Cabinet' rather than 'Party', not sure...(whatevs, but no-one knew nuthin'?-Ed)...no-one......(bullshit!-Ed)...ah Ed, witty and insightful as usual, cutting political commentary with an almost Monty Python-esque economy of language...(nah mate, 'bullshit' defines itself and there is no other descriptor needed here-Ed)...fair point...
Yet another rancidly corrupt privatisation by the SA Labor Party...lead gibbering stooge, Energy Minister Tom 'Road Rules Apply To You Not Me' Koutsontonis, unquestionably the most fundamentally incompetent minister in the entire realm...(and we do have some doozies-Ed)...indeed we do...anyhoos, according to Anastasias K, the Lands Title Office sale will go ahead despite a Labor Sub-Branch voting against it...the Sow Strayn Labor Party, a criminally corrupt, pro-paedophile organisation that cannot govern beyond stop-gap privatisations to fund their corruption...(you mean like funding the Adelaide Oval with the deeply corrupt fire-sale of Forestry SA/South East Forestry Estate to 141 Plantations for less than a third of the book value, $670million rather than over $2billion, a sale that was accompanied by a litany of Labor lies about it being a '3-rotation lease for 110 years', maintaining control of the log supply via Forestry SA, etc, etc, and then privatising Forestry SA into 141 Plantations after less than 3 years into a supposed 10 year FSA-run Management agreement, etc, etc-Ed)...indeed Ed, a wholly corrupt 'deal' that deserves many-a-post all to itself...
I am Nick Fletcher and this here blog is my blog, I done it, just me...(hmmghmmmm? said Ed clearing his throat-Ed)...with mentionable if immeasurable support from my colleague Ed...(cheers...I think-Ed)...and of course those whom entrust me with their shizzle...(but I thought you said that it can be quite the burden to be lumbered with others' stuff that you can't use because it will immediately identify who said it?-Ed)...indeed, and/or because they've asked me not to, etc, although that's basically the same reasoning, 'cos they don't want to fall fowl of the thuggish and corrupt Mt Gambier City Council and it's various rankly corrupt stoogey-type mates...
(And boy have we seen that look!-Ed)..."that look"?...(that thin-lipped, pig-ignorant seething of those whom find it inconvenient to be challenged on their corruption-Ed)...ahhh, yes, that 'look', tres familiar with that...I am Nick Fletcher, etc, etc, and cheers and laters...
I don't know why they've called in crook nor exactly when either is likely to return nor when my next hearing/Trial date is...the only thing I know is that Magistrate White is indisposed for a coupla' weeks at least, and SAPol Officer Gardner won't be back before August 2017...apparently I will receive a phonecall in 2 weeks (next week?) to let me know what's happening, and I think that it's Magistrate White who is going to call, so apparently he'll be back by then...again, I cannot say with any certainty what has happened nor where this is headed nor when...

An Absence Of Malice - Latest Court Stuff
Howdy y'all and pardon the lack of pleasantries and formalities but this here's just a very quick intermediate post to get y'alls through to tomorrow...
Quick background for new availees...li'l ol' "controversial" and "notorious" blogger Nicholas "Nick" Francis Fletcher has been on 'Trial' since February 2015, following a SAPol (police) Anti-Corruption Branch investigation called 'Operation Baritone', which was referred to SAPol sometime mid-February 2014 by the Independent Commission Against Corruption's Comm Lander after his investigation of me...from ICAC to SAPol ACB, a multi-layered investigation involving multiple officers, raiding my home in May 2014, etc, and all for my alleged heinous crime of discussing an alleged ICAC investigation of Mt Gambier City Council...(you bastard!-Ed)...apparently...
This has been discussed over and over in Court and reported in the media...(sort of-Ed)...well quite, but the point being that it's not Contempt of Court or anything like that for me to be discussing this...(but in a context where any-and-all discussion of any aspect of ICAC operations and/or functioning, any such discussion is a breach of ICAC Act 2012 Section 56, eg, the Sow Strayn' Law Society making public comments about ICAC investigating the Oakden Nursing Home abuse cover-up corruption-Ed)...well exactly...(and then there's Mt Gambier City Council holding that truly bizarre and highly illegal Special Meeting re Mayor Andrew Lee's staggering succession of non-recollections re a Ratepayer-funded dinner in China with his soon-to-be business partner in a Coonawarra area winery, and multiple failures to declare re said winery, etc, served-up with luxurious lashings of self-contradiction and constant re-revisioning of the 'facts', all as reported on the ABC and/or in The Border Watch and/or The Advertiser-Ed)...all great points, all well made...
Take these two examples and lay my shizzle over it, and one gets a very broad but definitive demonstration of just how vastly powerful the ICAC Act 2012 is, and therefore how powerful the ICAC Commissioner is, but also that the legislation itself is so vast as to be undefinable...but I digress...
To The Latest News:...and I was back in Court yesterday (Wednesday May 10th 2017) and there's been yet a further delay as Magistrate White has been taken ill...at this time I cannot say what the health issue is, 'cos I don't know, nor can I say when the next hearing date will be...(yeah, yeah, we've been through all of this in the last coupla' posts, 'SAPol ACB's Gardner has been taken ill mid-evidence and won't be back anytime before August 2017', etc, and you reckon she won't be back ever because of the faults in the SAPol ACB investigation and/or the SAPol Prosecution, etc, etc, all covered in the last posts, yeah?-Ed)...yes, but that's not what I said...(and what do you mean, 'this week'? I thought you said that you were door-knocked by SAPol at 2030hrs on April 27th 2017, and handed a new Summons to appear in Court last week, on the Monday May 1st 2017, for that stuff, and it was stated by Magistrate White that days 4 and 5 of this 'Second Trial' would proceed, next week, etc, etc-Ed)...yeah yeah, that's all true, but it's not what I said...(sorry, I think it is-Ed)...just start from the beginning...
(Ok, sure..."back in Court...further delay...Magistrate White has been taken ill"...hang on, Magistrate White?-Ed)...yep...(Magistrate White has also been taken ill?-Ed)...or took an undignified tumble off his polo pony or mis-parkoured straight into the side of an unsuspecting public building balustrade or popped a hammy' doin' a PB at Burpee Bootcamp, something, I dunno'...(sorry sorry, hang on, all that stuff last week, that was SAPol ACB's Gardner going on some sort of 'sick leave', yeah?-Ed)...yep...(and then this week, yesterday, you've been in again and now Magistrate White is on 'sick leave?-Ed)...correct...(why?-Ed)...dunno', I don't have any explanation other than 'he's not well'...(for how long?-Ed)...for a coupla' weeks at least, not sure, certainly enough to force the 2 days of Trial set-down for next week (May 15th-16th) to be 'vacated'...(but?...how?-Ed)...well, let's see...
On Tuesday May 9th 2017 I received a phone message from the Mt Gambier Courthouse, 'please contact us, it's urgent', so I did, and was told that Magistrate White was crook and then later, could I come in at 0945hrs 'tomorrow' (being now yesterday Wed 10th May), and I said 'sure', and in I went, best Court trousers on, and Magistrate Anderson officially vacated those 2 days next week, stating that I'll receive a phonecall in late May to let me know what's happening...(I ummm, I, I'm really not quite sure where to start with this, there's so much going on here-Ed)...sure, so that's why it's going to be multi-posts probably...(probably?!-Ed)...and this is just a briefish sort of introductory post to set-out where exactly we're at with this Court stuff at the moment...(and where is that exactly?-Ed)...absolutely no idea...(t'riffic, just t'riffic-Ed)...
Anybody who knows anything about me will appreciate that whilst I will relentlessly crack classic gags about people tumblin'-off their pampered pit-pony or jumping maniacally into the side of a building, etc, etc, I take absolutely no genuine pleasure or sense of satisfaction or vindication or vengeance or retribution or whatevs, not none of it, and not least of all because of my own Cancer history and Mental Health issues, etc...I'm in the splendidly fortunate position of having suffered just exactly enough to be able to be 100% empathetic if not specifically sympathetic...I raised this very issue with Magistrate White on Monday May 1st re the "invidious position" I was in re ACB Gardner's sudden and lengthy absence and mine own issues that I do own so well, and how those self-same issues may affect/infect others, and the sense that I was in-part likely responsible for this 'illness'...it's not about being the better person, it's about a being smart enough person to recognise and accept faults and failings in others...
For all that's been done to me, and the lies, etc, still I take absolutely no genuine pleasure in my belief that 'tis highly likely that my politely brutal dismantling of Det Gardner's evidence and personal testimony has visited upon her such stress as to cause or at least contribute strongly to her illness/absence...and it doesn't help that I haven't been provided any explanation...and being in this place of anger and frustration with this person, etc, yet still maintaining that sense of compassion for them, it doesn't make me a better man than anyone else, it just makes me a better man...(mate, I gotta' say, for the generally jovial gentle giant that you are, and that people know you are, for all that, you still have a way about you that's just massively 'heavy', I don't know how better to describe it-Ed)...I like to think I bring due reverance and passion to the debate, and when the subject matter gets heavy and/or I'm forced to defend myself, both in play re my Court stuff, then I have what it takes to do so...(and fair enough-Ed)...
In every context these people have bought big bad angry me into their lives and I'm going to take exactly as much responsibility for my own conduct as is reasonable...(and after that?-Ed)...and after that, I'm in a pitched battle with the State Rann/Weatherill Labor government and it's various Authorities like SAPol, ICAC, the Crown Solicitor, etc, and there are clearly just no rules...and for all of that, all I have to do is stand my ground and be truthful, and that right there's where your 'heavy' comes into it, the Truth is what's heavy, I just bring that...
Tomorrow: Expanding On This Topic
(That'll be just swell, get it? swell? expanding, swell, yeah?-Ed).........I am Nick Fletcher and this is a very short post on this 'ere my blog...cheers and laters...
Quick background for new availees...li'l ol' "controversial" and "notorious" blogger Nicholas "Nick" Francis Fletcher has been on 'Trial' since February 2015, following a SAPol (police) Anti-Corruption Branch investigation called 'Operation Baritone', which was referred to SAPol sometime mid-February 2014 by the Independent Commission Against Corruption's Comm Lander after his investigation of me...from ICAC to SAPol ACB, a multi-layered investigation involving multiple officers, raiding my home in May 2014, etc, and all for my alleged heinous crime of discussing an alleged ICAC investigation of Mt Gambier City Council...(you bastard!-Ed)...apparently...
This has been discussed over and over in Court and reported in the media...(sort of-Ed)...well quite, but the point being that it's not Contempt of Court or anything like that for me to be discussing this...(but in a context where any-and-all discussion of any aspect of ICAC operations and/or functioning, any such discussion is a breach of ICAC Act 2012 Section 56, eg, the Sow Strayn' Law Society making public comments about ICAC investigating the Oakden Nursing Home abuse cover-up corruption-Ed)...well exactly...(and then there's Mt Gambier City Council holding that truly bizarre and highly illegal Special Meeting re Mayor Andrew Lee's staggering succession of non-recollections re a Ratepayer-funded dinner in China with his soon-to-be business partner in a Coonawarra area winery, and multiple failures to declare re said winery, etc, served-up with luxurious lashings of self-contradiction and constant re-revisioning of the 'facts', all as reported on the ABC and/or in The Border Watch and/or The Advertiser-Ed)...all great points, all well made...
Take these two examples and lay my shizzle over it, and one gets a very broad but definitive demonstration of just how vastly powerful the ICAC Act 2012 is, and therefore how powerful the ICAC Commissioner is, but also that the legislation itself is so vast as to be undefinable...but I digress...

When The Left Hand Says The Right Is Wrong - Part II
Howdy again in Ukraine, Turkey, Israel, and Spain...and of course back in the motherlands of the United Kingdom and Aotearoa (New Zealand) whence my relatives did originate...might have briefly mentioned earlier in this 'ere blog, the life of extraordinary luxury and privilege I've lived just for being born a White Man in this 'ere Stolen Land...but that's an ANZAC tale for another day I'm sure...(you're not happy about some of that ANZAC stuff are you?-Ed)...got a coupla' issues with it, yeah, quite a few people do...laters with that though, now for this...
Passin' To Batten And Back Again:...just to properly explain myself and following on immediately from WTLHSTRIW...I have done and continue to do extraordinarily well with my self-representation, and I do take a modicum of pride from that...(he run straight Kenny, he run strong-Ed)...what?...(it's Shakespeare, doesn't matter-Ed)...whatevs, I do have pride in my achievement and therefore pride in myself, and exactly in that order, but I never lose sight of the fact that a biggish part of why I can do so well in the catastrophic maelstrom that is my Court stuff is because, 1) it's largely been just me doing my bit and telling my story, and 2) I'm just telling the same story so there's no need to try and remember versions of things and whom I have and/or haven't told what, and/or in which email, etc, etc...in comparison, I've been dealing with multiple Magistrates...(3 now?-Ed)...yep, 3, and 6-7 different SAPol (police) Prosecutors telling a multitude of porky-pies...(7? nooo?-Ed)...orr yeah, upto and including SAPol Prosecutions Head Honcho Andrew Paech, all who have regularly swapped back-and-forth, Ms Diamandi one hearing, SAPol Mt Gambier's Batten the next, Andrew Paech the next, then back to Batten, etc, etc...
This ridiculous 'plausible deniability' strategy is seen to be even more inappropriate when considered in the context of how critically important this precedent case is re this massively powerful piece of legislation, the ICAC Act 2012 (Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 2012), and defining the otherwise undefined powers of the ICAC...just exactly where do the ICAC's powers stop?...(do they stop? ever?-Ed)...well indeed...and this near-schitzo pogo-ing between different SAPol Prosecutors disappeared into a gaping paradox of it's own creation last October 16th 2016...(oh yeah, when SAPol Pros Batten was here in MG Courthouse and simultaneously Ms Diamandi was in Adelaide cobbling together a bizarre 'new' Affidavit for the ICAC investigators-Ed)...exactly, an Affidavit not mentioned at all here in Court the same day it was supposedly penned in Adelaide, and that I received a week later...and what is truly hilarious about that particular 'new' Affidavit is, is that it contains several new documents that I never even knew existed...(doozies?-Ed)...absolute doozies that I am now going to politely ram-back whence they came...(with relish?-Ed)...and possibly a small seasonal garden salad...(with croutons?-Ed)...with croutons...(nice-Ed)...
On one occasion, during the June 2016 audio/video link hearing thingy before Her Honour Teresa Anderson with Ms Diamandi aways there in Adelaide, I saw a short, red-haired female SAPol officer enter the door at the back of the room behind Ms D, look just off-camera to whomever was obviously and anonymously sitting there, and then, clearly under direction, shimmy sideways along the back wall and out of camera shot, exit stage left already even...(heavens to murgatroyd-Ed)...yeah, I know...doppelgangers aside, that officer was Mt Gambier SAPol Prosecutions Rebecca Stokes who handled my case when it first kicked-off ways back in February 2015...(wasn't it SAPol Pros Officer Stokes who negotiated with the South East Community Legal Services Legal Eagle (an actual lawyer person) and the Magistrates Court in May-July 2015 re moving the case to Adelaide because of the impending vastness of the whole shebang re the many Constitutional and/or Legal issues involved?-Ed)...well yes it were her, the Leagles did, the Court agreed, and yes it was moved for exactly those reasons...
And reasons that remain unresolved despite being repeatedly asked-after by moi...I have repeatedly identified and requested the alleged legal advice that SAPol Prosecutions used and/or was used by Magistrate Foley in returning my case to Mt Gambier (December 2015)... it is unavoidably irrefutable that the original decision was negotiated over several days and a coupla' hearings, numerous phone calls, etc, and that that original decision was then reversed...these are plain facts; the Trial was moved, then was moved back...what new evidence has supposedly surfaced long after these original negotiations? evidence that comprehensively refuted/reversed the original decision to move, and then without any explanation to me, even now...(and in February 2016 it was SAPol's Ms Diamandi who identified the need for a meeting of all Attorneys General re the Constitutional Law implications, a meeting required prior to the trial commencing-Ed)...exactly! what about that?...
I raised this specific issue re the re-moving of the Trial, and asked those specific questions, 'what is the new and contradictory legal advice re the Constitutional issues, and where did you get it?'...we, Mr Paech and I, discussed this at length, and his repeated and only response?...('put it in writing'?-Ed)...exactly, put those questions in writing'...and I have, not least of all in the form of a Court ratified Summons, etc, etc, etc...(wowsters-Ed)...this discussion refers of course to the notorious phone conversation of March 4th 2016 when Mr Paech, not identified by Ms Diamandi as being present, suddenly interposed himself mid-conversation and took-over...(I thought you did the 'notorious' around here?-Ed)...what?...(after The Border Watch described you as 'notorious", I thought you were wearing that hat now, with a degree of pride, and may I say, a certain degree of rugged style-Ed)...you certainly may say sir, you certainly may...
Anyhoos, it was SAPol Prosecutions' Mt Gambier based officer Rebecca Stokes whom conducted those negotiations here at Mt Gambier Courthouse back in May-August 2015...I distinctly remember standing in the MGC upstairs foyer-area with my SECLS Leagle and Officer Stokes who stated 'my bosses have approved that, just need to organise it', etc...and I reckon regular ABC Radio listeners like myself will know and recognise Officer Stoke's voice as she now appears to be SAPol's go-to person for media statements, regularly on-air commenting on policing issues...(but still with SAPol Prosecutions?-Ed)...gourd, I dunno', whatevs, that soft-shoe shimmy was June last year, and the other stuff was pre-August 2015...but I digress somewhat...
Over and over and over again it is SAPol Prosecutions and their assorted witnesses, etc, that have made the Court look stupid, not me...(what, not you that's been made to look stupid?-Ed)...well both, both His Honour Magistrate Foley and Her Honour Magistrate Anderson have been dropped right in it by the conduct of SAPol Prosecutions, and over and over again it's me what's copped the fall-out when I've made the Magistrate involved look stupid by merely politely correcting the record...(is that the stuff where SAPol keep saying you were 'charged' but it never actually happened?-Ed)...yep...(and SAPol as Prosecutor and/or witness have repeatedly stated-as-fact that you've been charged, yet cannot apparently actually point to where and/or when that happened?-Ed)...keep going...(including in this Trial both of them stating-as-fact that it happened in December 2014, but without actually providing a single document to support that?-Ed)...spot on...(ok, so ignoring the fact that you weren't 'charged', have SAPol provided any documentation and/or explanation at all?-Ed)...nope, not really...
The closest we've got mate in 25+ hearings, is what happened just now back in Court in March 2017, when SAPol Prosecutions and their lead witness, SAPol Investigating Officer and Anti-Corruption Branch detective Gardner, have both had various goes at trying to make this particular dead horse fly...(did someone say 'trebuchet'?-Ed)...sling ya' hook mate*...nah nah, just jokin', gourd bless gourd bless...but to answer your original question, when I've effectively cornered ACB's Det Gardner about this 'charge' lie, she ultimately stated that I was charged 'via a phonecall by Andrew Peach to an unnamed colleague'...(wow-Ed)...an undocumented phonecall between cops sometime about a week before Xmas 2014...(I'm not laughing, really I'm not, this is far too serious-Ed)...and it's not me that's ultimately been made to look foolish, it's SAPol who have been seen to be deceitful and incompetent, in no particular order and often in combination... (*colloquialism for 'get lost, be moving on')
I cannot imagine what it must be like to try and function at street level as a SAPol officer with this shizzle goin' on at the pointy end of ya' organisation...and that's where this is coming from, from the heart of the Rann/Weatherill Labor government and it's squillions of minions, and a deeply corrupted SAPol hierarchy and a Court System that apparently have nuthin' better to do with their time than plow-on through this undignified disaster...and I don't care who wears the pants and who the saddle, does SAPol run the Parliament? does SAPol do the Parliament's bidding? is our Judiciary genuinely Independent? whatevs, it's irrelevant in a situation such as this where the collusion and impropriety are so pronounced...(pronounced over and over in Court-Ed)...well indeed, it's so undeniable that it literally forced HH Anderson into the stuff about Abuse of Process and then Malicious Prosecution...more later, in other local news...
Swings And Roundabouts And Rakes And Bladders:...on the ABC re the retirement of Daryl Sexton from Mt Gambier City Council after 27(?) years...and it's all about traffic lights and/or roundabouts, and the Helpmann Theatre fly-tower do-over, providing more street trees and 38kms footpaths, hard issues like hard refuse and MGCC's refusal to fund hard refuse removal...(outrageous, someone get me China on the line!-Ed)...ummm, I think they're all back now, but a good point well made...(sure? some more haven't toddled across for a bit of a look-see on the Ratepayers dollar? no?-Ed)...settle down...where was I?...(waist deep in waste-Ed)...ah yes, chit-chat about the Caroline Landfill and the massively expensive massive bladders, etc...and of course, a discussion about the perceived lack of city carparking which takes us straight to Daryl's gushing praise for the hilarious wonderment that is Park and Stride...(from the man who drives a Council-provided therefore Ratepayer-funded luxury sports RUV to his reserved carpark right next to his personal secret door into the Helpmann building where he works-Ed)...all in the past tense now, but yeah...
And unless it happened in tiny snippets somewhere between car and home radios, or the kettle boiling, etc, through-out that interview I heard not one mention of the Rail Lands, nor of the multiple Main Corner re-workings, or the Old Hospital, the multi-million dollar shenanigans with the grey concrete pavers all over town...(I don't think they mentioned the New Library either-Ed)...not sure, but they certainly didn't mention the hugely expensive and expansive renovations of Council's own offices that necessitated the Library being pushed out of the Helpmann building...not none of it...for years now I've watched this Mt Gambier City Council squander/slather/lather well over $40million, in only say, 7 years...(7 years-Ed)...no, I don't actually mean 'say 7 years', I just, never mind, it looks highly likely that MGCC has somehow churned through well-over $40m of Ratepayer's hard-earned in that time...
Rail Lands apparently at over $10m already...(strewth, really?-Ed)...apparently, and not including the $3-5m on the Old Hospital Demolition...(good gourd-Ed)...but also not including the promised Sound Shell or renovation of the classic Old Rail Station Building...(that's just terrific-Ed)...isn't it though...the New Library and Main Corner Part III are also apparently well over $12m each, not including the several previous Town Hall/Main Corner makeovers over the decade preceding the latest disgusting disgrace, a chronic waste of $10m...and I consider these to be reasonable and even conservative amounts because if I took at face value the amounts being stated to me, these totals could well be 20-30% higher than what I've stated here...(surely not?-Ed)...lotsa' costly re-workings of costly failings, eg, re-re-re-draining the Rail Lands, lotsa' work 'hidden' in other Council department budgets, and a lotta' money gone, somewhere...(yay-Ed)...and then there's the very unspoken-of cost of the luxurious expansion of Council's own Fortress of Solitude, billowing-out like some sort of self-realised local government expando-foam to fill every nook and cranny of the spaces created by the Library being moved out...
Just coincidence I'm sure that I identify the presence on Mt Gambier City Council's new phalanx of highly paid 'Managers', of some dude from Rio Tinto, as being one of the Chosen Four pulling down a very tidy $200,000 pa courtesy of their mates on Council and as funded by the Ratepayers of Mt Gambier, etc, etc, a coincidence that I post that and that dude recently gets a full-page guernsey in The Border Watch as local boy made-good, now come home to help...(he run straight Kenny, he run strong-Ed)...no no you idiot, we've already done that one...(croutons?-Ed)...oh good gourd...anyhoos, I don't know who this person is and I don't care, really I don't, it's about a massively expensive and totally unnecessary appointment, indeed a whole raft of such appointments by a Council who's whole functioning I have witnessed and given testimony to, right here on this 'ere blog, as being wholly corrupt...
There is no escaping the gaping chasm between the reality of life for the vast majority of Mt Gambier residents, and the extraordinary conduct of Mt Gambier City Council...whole areas of town look like unkempt, run-down holes whilst other wider more leafy streets get whole new bitumen just for the sake of it...$160kpa for Tourism Mount Gambier...(and an office and a car-Ed)...chuckin' buckets of cash at 'The Arts'...(don't you know darling-Ed)...steady Ed, that's all well and groovy, really it is, but it's all about context...(orrr here we go-Ed)...yes here we go because MGCC gotta' motza' for what they want for them and/or their mates and relatives, but everyone else can apparently get stuffed...(fair call-Ed)...All-Season Pool anyone?...(ok ok, you've made ya' point-Ed)...I know, let's catch public transport on a weekend or public holiday...(alright already!-Ed)...so we are in agreeance then, yeah? super...
Tomorrow: More Court Stuff...(And Why Not-Ed)...WTLHSTRIW III
Thar She Blows:...and on exactly that subject, dude from the South Australian Law Society on ABC Radio this morning calling for and/or identifying the potential for ICAC Commissioner Bruce Lander to get funky like stink on a monkey with this 'scandal at the Oakden Aged Care facility'...and according to the ABC on-line, LSSA's reckons that 'we don't know and we wouldn't necessarily know (if there is already an investigation) because there are wide confidentiality provisions in the legislation', etc...(but in even discussing the possibility of an ICAC investigation and/or even just mentioning the ICAC, isn't Mr LSSA Dude breaching the ICAC Act 2012-Ed)...like a mutha-luvin', belly-floppin' Humpback in the Red-tape Sea...(are you sayin' this dude's gone the full fluke-out breach just by broaching the subject?-Ed)...indeed Ed, broaching is breaching...(well cods my wallop!-Ed)...I also am surprised, yet somehow, not...
Deadset;...particularly now that my shizzle has really hit the fan in such crap-tacular fashion Court-wise and I 've been outed by local media as the sortta' lout who'll call a Magistrate biased to his face and then go there again and again, peoples says to me, 'how does you do that? how does you cope with the stress, etc, mate?'...(and you's says-Ed)...who-ever said I'm coping?!...(nice-Ed)...it is what it is and it takes it's toll and it is quite clearly only ever headed to one conclusion...the only difference is that now these clowns have driven me so far from myself that I've stumbled right into a fertile even fecund field of Self Esteem and Pride Sans Arrogance...right into it...it's everywhere...it's in the diff housings, it's behind the pelmets...(all over my best going-out trousers-Ed)...Ed, we've spoken about this, you'll still have to wear pants when we're out...(but....-Ed)...a! Ed! it's trousers or it's nothing...(fine!-Ed)...anyhoos, SEPSA, it's the difference between now and only 12 months ago...
It's the difference where-in I cannot wait to get back to Court and rip mercilessly into the next plump platter of rambunctious ridicularity and self-contradiction ripe for the plundering...(and who is next?-Ed)...well, Ed mate, hold onto ya' hat, 'cos it's the 2 ICAC investigators...(oh dear-Ed)...who are going to drop-by to explain how/why/whatevs that the alleged ICAC investigation of Mt Gambier City Council, how that 'investigation' consisted of a 40 min max chat avec moi* in a Mt Gambier cafe, with nothing apparently recorded or written down...(wow, them bad guys, they just don't stand a chance, you go get'm ICAC-Ed)...sarcasm is beneath you Ed, truly, it is most unbecoming...and after they it be he, li'l Stewy Stansfield from ABC South East...(oooooo-Ed)...so you can appreciate why I'm looking forward to it... (*40 minutes maximum chat with me)
(Is it just me, or have you been referring to Her Honour Magistrate Anderson as, well, 'Her Honour', but to Magistrate White as 'Magistrate White'?-Ed)...you pickin'-up on that, yeah?...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...

This ridiculous 'plausible deniability' strategy is seen to be even more inappropriate when considered in the context of how critically important this precedent case is re this massively powerful piece of legislation, the ICAC Act 2012 (Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 2012), and defining the otherwise undefined powers of the ICAC...just exactly where do the ICAC's powers stop?...(do they stop? ever?-Ed)...well indeed...and this near-schitzo pogo-ing between different SAPol Prosecutors disappeared into a gaping paradox of it's own creation last October 16th 2016...(oh yeah, when SAPol Pros Batten was here in MG Courthouse and simultaneously Ms Diamandi was in Adelaide cobbling together a bizarre 'new' Affidavit for the ICAC investigators-Ed)...exactly, an Affidavit not mentioned at all here in Court the same day it was supposedly penned in Adelaide, and that I received a week later...and what is truly hilarious about that particular 'new' Affidavit is, is that it contains several new documents that I never even knew existed...(doozies?-Ed)...absolute doozies that I am now going to politely ram-back whence they came...(with relish?-Ed)...and possibly a small seasonal garden salad...(with croutons?-Ed)...with croutons...(nice-Ed)...
On one occasion, during the June 2016 audio/video link hearing thingy before Her Honour Teresa Anderson with Ms Diamandi aways there in Adelaide, I saw a short, red-haired female SAPol officer enter the door at the back of the room behind Ms D, look just off-camera to whomever was obviously and anonymously sitting there, and then, clearly under direction, shimmy sideways along the back wall and out of camera shot, exit stage left already even...(heavens to murgatroyd-Ed)...yeah, I know...doppelgangers aside, that officer was Mt Gambier SAPol Prosecutions Rebecca Stokes who handled my case when it first kicked-off ways back in February 2015...(wasn't it SAPol Pros Officer Stokes who negotiated with the South East Community Legal Services Legal Eagle (an actual lawyer person) and the Magistrates Court in May-July 2015 re moving the case to Adelaide because of the impending vastness of the whole shebang re the many Constitutional and/or Legal issues involved?-Ed)...well yes it were her, the Leagles did, the Court agreed, and yes it was moved for exactly those reasons...
And reasons that remain unresolved despite being repeatedly asked-after by moi...I have repeatedly identified and requested the alleged legal advice that SAPol Prosecutions used and/or was used by Magistrate Foley in returning my case to Mt Gambier (December 2015)... it is unavoidably irrefutable that the original decision was negotiated over several days and a coupla' hearings, numerous phone calls, etc, and that that original decision was then reversed...these are plain facts; the Trial was moved, then was moved back...what new evidence has supposedly surfaced long after these original negotiations? evidence that comprehensively refuted/reversed the original decision to move, and then without any explanation to me, even now...(and in February 2016 it was SAPol's Ms Diamandi who identified the need for a meeting of all Attorneys General re the Constitutional Law implications, a meeting required prior to the trial commencing-Ed)...exactly! what about that?...
I raised this specific issue re the re-moving of the Trial, and asked those specific questions, 'what is the new and contradictory legal advice re the Constitutional issues, and where did you get it?'...we, Mr Paech and I, discussed this at length, and his repeated and only response?...('put it in writing'?-Ed)...exactly, put those questions in writing'...and I have, not least of all in the form of a Court ratified Summons, etc, etc, etc...(wowsters-Ed)...this discussion refers of course to the notorious phone conversation of March 4th 2016 when Mr Paech, not identified by Ms Diamandi as being present, suddenly interposed himself mid-conversation and took-over...(I thought you did the 'notorious' around here?-Ed)...what?...(after The Border Watch described you as 'notorious", I thought you were wearing that hat now, with a degree of pride, and may I say, a certain degree of rugged style-Ed)...you certainly may say sir, you certainly may...
Anyhoos, it was SAPol Prosecutions' Mt Gambier based officer Rebecca Stokes whom conducted those negotiations here at Mt Gambier Courthouse back in May-August 2015...I distinctly remember standing in the MGC upstairs foyer-area with my SECLS Leagle and Officer Stokes who stated 'my bosses have approved that, just need to organise it', etc...and I reckon regular ABC Radio listeners like myself will know and recognise Officer Stoke's voice as she now appears to be SAPol's go-to person for media statements, regularly on-air commenting on policing issues...(but still with SAPol Prosecutions?-Ed)...gourd, I dunno', whatevs, that soft-shoe shimmy was June last year, and the other stuff was pre-August 2015...but I digress somewhat...
Over and over and over again it is SAPol Prosecutions and their assorted witnesses, etc, that have made the Court look stupid, not me...(what, not you that's been made to look stupid?-Ed)...well both, both His Honour Magistrate Foley and Her Honour Magistrate Anderson have been dropped right in it by the conduct of SAPol Prosecutions, and over and over again it's me what's copped the fall-out when I've made the Magistrate involved look stupid by merely politely correcting the record...(is that the stuff where SAPol keep saying you were 'charged' but it never actually happened?-Ed)...yep...(and SAPol as Prosecutor and/or witness have repeatedly stated-as-fact that you've been charged, yet cannot apparently actually point to where and/or when that happened?-Ed)...keep going...(including in this Trial both of them stating-as-fact that it happened in December 2014, but without actually providing a single document to support that?-Ed)...spot on...(ok, so ignoring the fact that you weren't 'charged', have SAPol provided any documentation and/or explanation at all?-Ed)...nope, not really...
The closest we've got mate in 25+ hearings, is what happened just now back in Court in March 2017, when SAPol Prosecutions and their lead witness, SAPol Investigating Officer and Anti-Corruption Branch detective Gardner, have both had various goes at trying to make this particular dead horse fly...(did someone say 'trebuchet'?-Ed)...sling ya' hook mate*...nah nah, just jokin', gourd bless gourd bless...but to answer your original question, when I've effectively cornered ACB's Det Gardner about this 'charge' lie, she ultimately stated that I was charged 'via a phonecall by Andrew Peach to an unnamed colleague'...(wow-Ed)...an undocumented phonecall between cops sometime about a week before Xmas 2014...(I'm not laughing, really I'm not, this is far too serious-Ed)...and it's not me that's ultimately been made to look foolish, it's SAPol who have been seen to be deceitful and incompetent, in no particular order and often in combination... (*colloquialism for 'get lost, be moving on')
I cannot imagine what it must be like to try and function at street level as a SAPol officer with this shizzle goin' on at the pointy end of ya' organisation...and that's where this is coming from, from the heart of the Rann/Weatherill Labor government and it's squillions of minions, and a deeply corrupted SAPol hierarchy and a Court System that apparently have nuthin' better to do with their time than plow-on through this undignified disaster...and I don't care who wears the pants and who the saddle, does SAPol run the Parliament? does SAPol do the Parliament's bidding? is our Judiciary genuinely Independent? whatevs, it's irrelevant in a situation such as this where the collusion and impropriety are so pronounced...(pronounced over and over in Court-Ed)...well indeed, it's so undeniable that it literally forced HH Anderson into the stuff about Abuse of Process and then Malicious Prosecution...more later, in other local news...
Swings And Roundabouts And Rakes And Bladders:...on the ABC re the retirement of Daryl Sexton from Mt Gambier City Council after 27(?) years...and it's all about traffic lights and/or roundabouts, and the Helpmann Theatre fly-tower do-over, providing more street trees and 38kms footpaths, hard issues like hard refuse and MGCC's refusal to fund hard refuse removal...(outrageous, someone get me China on the line!-Ed)...ummm, I think they're all back now, but a good point well made...(sure? some more haven't toddled across for a bit of a look-see on the Ratepayers dollar? no?-Ed)...settle down...where was I?...(waist deep in waste-Ed)...ah yes, chit-chat about the Caroline Landfill and the massively expensive massive bladders, etc...and of course, a discussion about the perceived lack of city carparking which takes us straight to Daryl's gushing praise for the hilarious wonderment that is Park and Stride...(from the man who drives a Council-provided therefore Ratepayer-funded luxury sports RUV to his reserved carpark right next to his personal secret door into the Helpmann building where he works-Ed)...all in the past tense now, but yeah...
And unless it happened in tiny snippets somewhere between car and home radios, or the kettle boiling, etc, through-out that interview I heard not one mention of the Rail Lands, nor of the multiple Main Corner re-workings, or the Old Hospital, the multi-million dollar shenanigans with the grey concrete pavers all over town...(I don't think they mentioned the New Library either-Ed)...not sure, but they certainly didn't mention the hugely expensive and expansive renovations of Council's own offices that necessitated the Library being pushed out of the Helpmann building...not none of it...for years now I've watched this Mt Gambier City Council squander/slather/lather well over $40million, in only say, 7 years...(7 years-Ed)...no, I don't actually mean 'say 7 years', I just, never mind, it looks highly likely that MGCC has somehow churned through well-over $40m of Ratepayer's hard-earned in that time...
Rail Lands apparently at over $10m already...(strewth, really?-Ed)...apparently, and not including the $3-5m on the Old Hospital Demolition...(good gourd-Ed)...but also not including the promised Sound Shell or renovation of the classic Old Rail Station Building...(that's just terrific-Ed)...isn't it though...the New Library and Main Corner Part III are also apparently well over $12m each, not including the several previous Town Hall/Main Corner makeovers over the decade preceding the latest disgusting disgrace, a chronic waste of $10m...and I consider these to be reasonable and even conservative amounts because if I took at face value the amounts being stated to me, these totals could well be 20-30% higher than what I've stated here...(surely not?-Ed)...lotsa' costly re-workings of costly failings, eg, re-re-re-draining the Rail Lands, lotsa' work 'hidden' in other Council department budgets, and a lotta' money gone, somewhere...(yay-Ed)...and then there's the very unspoken-of cost of the luxurious expansion of Council's own Fortress of Solitude, billowing-out like some sort of self-realised local government expando-foam to fill every nook and cranny of the spaces created by the Library being moved out...
Just coincidence I'm sure that I identify the presence on Mt Gambier City Council's new phalanx of highly paid 'Managers', of some dude from Rio Tinto, as being one of the Chosen Four pulling down a very tidy $200,000 pa courtesy of their mates on Council and as funded by the Ratepayers of Mt Gambier, etc, etc, a coincidence that I post that and that dude recently gets a full-page guernsey in The Border Watch as local boy made-good, now come home to help...(he run straight Kenny, he run strong-Ed)...no no you idiot, we've already done that one...(croutons?-Ed)...oh good gourd...anyhoos, I don't know who this person is and I don't care, really I don't, it's about a massively expensive and totally unnecessary appointment, indeed a whole raft of such appointments by a Council who's whole functioning I have witnessed and given testimony to, right here on this 'ere blog, as being wholly corrupt...
There is no escaping the gaping chasm between the reality of life for the vast majority of Mt Gambier residents, and the extraordinary conduct of Mt Gambier City Council...whole areas of town look like unkempt, run-down holes whilst other wider more leafy streets get whole new bitumen just for the sake of it...$160kpa for Tourism Mount Gambier...(and an office and a car-Ed)...chuckin' buckets of cash at 'The Arts'...(don't you know darling-Ed)...steady Ed, that's all well and groovy, really it is, but it's all about context...(orrr here we go-Ed)...yes here we go because MGCC gotta' motza' for what they want for them and/or their mates and relatives, but everyone else can apparently get stuffed...(fair call-Ed)...All-Season Pool anyone?...(ok ok, you've made ya' point-Ed)...I know, let's catch public transport on a weekend or public holiday...(alright already!-Ed)...so we are in agreeance then, yeah? super...
Tomorrow: More Court Stuff...(And Why Not-Ed)...WTLHSTRIW III
Thar She Blows:...and on exactly that subject, dude from the South Australian Law Society on ABC Radio this morning calling for and/or identifying the potential for ICAC Commissioner Bruce Lander to get funky like stink on a monkey with this 'scandal at the Oakden Aged Care facility'...and according to the ABC on-line, LSSA's reckons that 'we don't know and we wouldn't necessarily know (if there is already an investigation) because there are wide confidentiality provisions in the legislation', etc...(but in even discussing the possibility of an ICAC investigation and/or even just mentioning the ICAC, isn't Mr LSSA Dude breaching the ICAC Act 2012-Ed)...like a mutha-luvin', belly-floppin' Humpback in the Red-tape Sea...(are you sayin' this dude's gone the full fluke-out breach just by broaching the subject?-Ed)...indeed Ed, broaching is breaching...(well cods my wallop!-Ed)...I also am surprised, yet somehow, not...
Deadset;...particularly now that my shizzle has really hit the fan in such crap-tacular fashion Court-wise and I 've been outed by local media as the sortta' lout who'll call a Magistrate biased to his face and then go there again and again, peoples says to me, 'how does you do that? how does you cope with the stress, etc, mate?'...(and you's says-Ed)...who-ever said I'm coping?!...(nice-Ed)...it is what it is and it takes it's toll and it is quite clearly only ever headed to one conclusion...the only difference is that now these clowns have driven me so far from myself that I've stumbled right into a fertile even fecund field of Self Esteem and Pride Sans Arrogance...right into it...it's everywhere...it's in the diff housings, it's behind the pelmets...(all over my best going-out trousers-Ed)...Ed, we've spoken about this, you'll still have to wear pants when we're out...(but....-Ed)...a! Ed! it's trousers or it's nothing...(fine!-Ed)...anyhoos, SEPSA, it's the difference between now and only 12 months ago...
It's the difference where-in I cannot wait to get back to Court and rip mercilessly into the next plump platter of rambunctious ridicularity and self-contradiction ripe for the plundering...(and who is next?-Ed)...well, Ed mate, hold onto ya' hat, 'cos it's the 2 ICAC investigators...(oh dear-Ed)...who are going to drop-by to explain how/why/whatevs that the alleged ICAC investigation of Mt Gambier City Council, how that 'investigation' consisted of a 40 min max chat avec moi* in a Mt Gambier cafe, with nothing apparently recorded or written down...(wow, them bad guys, they just don't stand a chance, you go get'm ICAC-Ed)...sarcasm is beneath you Ed, truly, it is most unbecoming...and after they it be he, li'l Stewy Stansfield from ABC South East...(oooooo-Ed)...so you can appreciate why I'm looking forward to it... (*40 minutes maximum chat with me)
(Is it just me, or have you been referring to Her Honour Magistrate Anderson as, well, 'Her Honour', but to Magistrate White as 'Magistrate White'?-Ed)...you pickin'-up on that, yeah?...

When The Left Hand Says The Right Is Wrong
***howdy y'all, a few sync issues here again, but we're getting better, quite long but still only doing coupla' posts a week, etc...cheers***
Howdy Spain, Colombia, Armenia, and Romania and welcome y'all in France as vous goes to your Presidential Election...and in the USofA as it looks like ObamaCare will finally get the chop, including Health Insurers being allowed to charge whatevs they feel like re people with 'pre-existing conditions' like Cancer...(so effectively denying Health Insurance-therefore-treatment to those already dying and even those survivors like your good self?-Ed)...exactly, peeps like moi who had the pleasure of both Chemo and Radiotherapy on the Public Dollar in the Public System...but that's the beauty of the new set-up, that it will greatly reduce the numbers of survivors who need to be treated but can't afford HI because they likely won't get treatment in the first instance! no initial treatment, no survivors!...(it takes a Cancer survivor to appropriately make such a pointedly cynical joke about the realities-Ed)...you're welcome I'm sure...
Thinning Out The Numbers:...just stunned but hardly surprised to learn via a learned advisor that this joke what I done just make about this Health Insurance repeal/review/re-vamp being designed to reduce the burden on the Health System by effectively 'killing-off' the poor, well it ain't such a joke...(and the elderly-Ed)...pardon?...(and the elderly, these changes include making the elderly vulnerable to exactly the same thing, namely, Insurers can charge whatevs they choose so if you look like a likely accessor of your own insurance, up go your premiums, in advance-Ed)...well indeed, that's the issue here, so in a system like this someone like myself, a 50 year old Cancer survivor, even one on the average Oz wage, would face astronomical premiums, effectively denying me any hope of Insurance and therefore any chance of treatment...(and the shock?-Ed)...that this is apparently what the 'repeal' is designed to do, and as explained within the 'pre-amble/explanation/legislation' itself...(nice one-Ed)...no no, I' ain't crackin'-wise here, that's what I'm saying, it's actually in there, that this will reduce the numbers of patients because there'll be less survivors...(right...wow-Ed)...indeed, wow...I'll backtrack through my source and find out exactly where that stuff is and post more laters...
Last post I started into the latest 'hearing' of my epic saga of a trial, but first, let's just kick-it back a gear for just a mo' and revisit what this extraordinary proceedings is all about...and because all of this has now been discussed ad nauseum in Court and/or the media, it is public knowledge and on the public record, blah, blah, blah, that I am in big-twubble mister for talking about an alleged ICAC investigation of Mt Gambier City Council and associated persons...("alleged"?-Ed)...yeah, alleged, because not only do I believe that that 'investigation' never actually happened, in Court in response to their Court-issued Summons, the ICAC/SAPol Prosecutions stated outright that it was "irrelevant" whether or not there was an ICAC investigation because I was 'charged' with talking about someone who was the subject of a complaint to ICAC, not for talking about any ICAC investigation'...(wow-Ed)...indeed...
Two Points:....being that this Monday May 1st 2017 'Application Hearing' was 1) not in an actual Courtroom, no, it was held via videolink, with Magistrate White in Adelaide I think, dunno', and SAPol Prosecutions Batten et moi 2) set side-by-side by our lonesomes aways away in a tiny room aways-off down a side corridor next to the Victims Support Service lounge thingy...I remind availees that I've been required to attend at Mt Gambier Courthouse umpteen times since this whole farcacle (farcical debacle) in February 2015, yet SAPol Prosecutions have repeatedly appeared via videolink from somewhere in Adelaide not a Courtroom, probably within SAPol somewhere, with people clearly sitting off-camera out of sight but not identified, etc, etc...(ah, like that phone conversation with SAPol Prosecutions Ms Diamandi back in March 2016 when her boss Andrew Paech, head of SAPol Prosecutions, when he just lobbed-in from the peripherins unannounced, making a series of specific and critical statements about the conduct of his case!-Ed)...indeed, and when I repeatedly asked for the related proof/documents/explanation, he repeatedly responded that I should take all those questions and "put it in writing"...(you mean like in a Magistrate Anderson approved, Court-issued Summons for exactly that sort of information?-Ed)...exactly like that, but still waiting...
I do now have a copy of the transcript from this Second Trial March 15th-17th 2017, it took approx 6 weeks for it to be prepared...(busy day wasn't it, Court-wise I mean-Ed)...sorry?...(last Thursday April 27th 2017, when Mt Gambier Courthouse rang to say that the transcript was ready and then at 2030hrs the cops rocked-up with the 'Application'-Ed)...well quite, and then I picked-up the transcript on the Friday...(still can't believe that they've handed you that stuff, surely they understand by now that it's all 100% rolled-gold absolute blog-fodder-Ed)...indeed, but we've dealt with alleged 'transcripts' before, haven't we my li'l confected friend?...(good point, how does one check the exact veracity of that transcript though? you said ya'self that much of your own notes are illegible and/or non-sensical because you're being forced to self-represent and are trying to listen, process, mentally cross-reference to other stuff, respond/address, postulate a response, whilst blocking/addressing the perpetual plethora of erroneous utterances sputtering out of SAPol Prosecutions, and take notes, etc, etc, it's just an unmanageable monstrosity-Ed)...indeed it is Ed, indeed it is...
(And hang on, what's this bit at the top of the transcript?-Ed)...I think it's quite self-explanatory...(well mind explaining to this self then please-Ed)...sure, and I can't think of a better way of explaining than to let it explain itself, like I said...this here's from the top of the first page of the 350 of transcript...
(N. B.) Copyright in this transcript is the property of the Crown. If this transcript is
copied without the authority of the Attorney-General proceedings for
infringement will be taken.
...(ahahahaaaahhahaahhhaaaaa..."the authority of the Attorney-General", ahhaahahhhhh, deadset-Ed)...and given it's a State jurisdiction one assumes that that's li'l Johnny Rau, and 'the Crown' is good ol' Sow Straya...(but doesn't this case specifically trample rampantly all over Constitutional Law, so therefore it's a Federal AG issue? and therefore who exactly is 'the Crown' in this context/situation?-Ed)...geez, I dunno' mate, do I look like a lawyer?...(no, you look like you don't like lawyers at all-Ed)...not quite all of them...(fair enough-Ed)...
(And what did li'l Johnny Rau say when you emailed him about this corrupted farce?-Ed)..........(hello?-Ed)...sorry, I was animatedly shrugging my shoulders and pointing at an empty table to indicate sweet bugger-all...(yeah, mime ain't great in a written medium-Ed)...sure, sorry, sweet bugger-all, I ain't got not nuthin', not from any of them...(not even a 'we got your email, get back to you soon' from anyone?-Ed)...nope, nuthin'...(not from Federal AG George Brandis or Member for Barker Tony Pasin or Federal (SA) Senator Nick Xenophon or SA Premier Jay Weatherill or even li'l Johnny Rau?-Ed)...beg pardons, I have had 2 replies from my homie AG George 'Home' Brandis, but they're both deeply obsequious non-acknowledgements of the Constitutional Law issues, instead addressing and dismissing minor parallel issues...(stop right there, none of us need to be exposed to another George Brandis Stampede of Pedanticness-Ed)...is a Pedantipede a many-legged beast without a leg to stand on?...(well it wasn't before that sentence existed, but it sure-as-shreck is now!-Ed)...
The Pedantipede:...a Stampede of Pedanticness...the Pedantipede, a many-legged beast without a leg to stand on...(back of the net-Ed)...
(But hang-on again, that's your testimony, that's your words, how can the Court 'copyright' your words?-Ed)...well that's the technicality I was talking about...(whaaa?-Ed)...well this transcript is only ever a version of the actual proceedings, the South Australian Magistrates Court version...(ahhh, right-Ed)...and I won't be accepting it as a verbatim regurgitation until I've had appropriate swathes of time to reconcile this 'ere 350 page transcript with the actual recording...(so you want to set-down with the transcript and listen to the actual recording?-Ed)...and have requested as such, repeatedly requested...(and?-Ed)...and at one point I got as close as Magistrate White saying that I 'might possibly come into the MG Courthouse and sit in a room there and listen to it'...(and?-Ed)...and nothing...I've repeatedly requested access to these recordings, from this Second Trial and from every other one of the 25+ Court dates thus far...I asked specifically again on Monday...(and?-Ed)...and Magistrate White has relapsed to just ignoring those requests...(wow-Ed)...
(But hang-on again, again, aren't you meant to be provided all this stuff as normal process, and not least of all because you're forced to self-represent so you need to be able to accurately review the mini-maelstrom of Court proceedings?-Ed)...depends on who you ask...ask everyone else, including the various Legal Eagles I have managed to talk to, and they say yay it should surely be that way...(and ask the Court?-Ed)... and can't even get an answer...(right, ok...and what about proper Disclosure or Discovery or whatevs it's called, where SAPol Prosecutions are meant to hand across the entirety of their intended case and related documents, witness statements, etc, so's the defendant gets an opportunity to 1) get appropriate legal advice re 2) all of the stuff being said/used against you?-Ed)...what Court case have you been attending mate?...(no no, I was being sarcastic-Ed)...fair dues...
Time-and-again SAPol Prosecution have introduced new documents and/or changed charges...(and haven't hesitated to outright lie!-Ed)...well indeed...but none of it seems to matter because we're just plowing ahead regardless...on top of that SAPol has shown abject contempt for the Court Summons by providing only non-consequential internal emails and none of the info promised, eg, any sort of actual written explanation as to why I was never charged or Summonsed before my Court case started back in February 2015...beyond that, SAPol are now trying to run some bizarre multi-layered lies strategy about me being charged and/or reported, and I've caught-out both SAPol Prosecutions Batten and their/her lead witness, SAPol ACB Investigating Officer Gardner, caught them both lying, right in front of Magistrate White, and nuthin', waved away as irrelevant...(wow-Ed)...
Here's This Point:...namely, that I successfully argued for the Court/HH Magistrate Anderson to issue Summons to the ABC, to the ICAC, and even to SAPol themselves, Summons for any-and-all information re my case...re the ABC Summons, I merely used what the ABC has put in their Affidavit to the Court to get a Summons for 10 years of documents...(and the ABC's response?-Ed)...it's all a bit too difficult to find any of that info, those emails, that letter specifically identified from 2014, etc, etc, it's all a bit too difficult...(wow-Ed)...orrr yeah, the Summons was apparently "oppressive" and "fishing" and it would take "20 hours" to find any of these alleged communications/actions that my supposedly inappropriate, problematic, and even threatening behaviour had supposedly generated...instead they provided a swathe of 'case law' documents and this "20 hours" shizzle...(so they spent how many hours putting that together then?-Ed)...exactly Ed, it's just bollocks...
I, just me, just li'l ol' me, on my lonesome, without a lawyer, I managed to successfully argue for HH Magistrate Anderson to issue Summons to the SAPol Commissioner, the ICAC Commissioner, and the ABC, who responded via their lawyers from Ultimo in Sydney...(yeah, but it was largely these clowns own conduct in Court, their own self-contradicting evidence, their own behaviours, and their own documents that effectively forced HH to issue those Summons-Ed)...sure, and exact same thing with the Abuse of Process and Malicious Prosecution stuff where-in SAPol et al incompetently painted HH right into that corner, and all I had to do was point at the chaotic mess and say 'hey, why you standing in the corner?' and shazzam! Her Honour literally has no choice...for HH Anderson to not have granted these Summons and to not have acknowledged Abuse of Process and the Malicious Prosecution stuff would have fundamentally prejudiced my case and offered immediate grounds for Appeal...(what, and SAPol Prosecutions' behaviours haven't?-Ed)...fair point Ed, fair point well made...
I'll say that again...it was the conduct of SAPol Prosecutions and their evidence, etc, and of the ICAC, and of the ABC, it was these clowns own shizzle that I successfully used and that ultimately forced Magistrate Anderson to issue those Summons and make the Orders re Malicious Prosecution...but it gets better...(yeeha, here we go-Ed)...better because despite 1) the fact that I have apparently been the subject of an ICAC investigation then referred through to SAPol for prosecution, and 2) the ABC have claimed in their Affidavit that they've had numerous problems with me for over a decade, supposedly culminating in a dastardly incident...(bastardly incident more like-Ed)...at ABC South East studio/reception in January 2014 that supposedly resulted in me being banned from the ABC, as supposedly conveyed to me via a letter from the ABC 'security' guy, etc, etc...(wow-Ed)...despite having been the subject of an ICAC investigation and 10 years a nightmare for the ABC, etc, etc, have a wild guess mate just exactly how many documents these rankly corrupt clowns managed to conjure-up between them, the ABC and the ICAC...(does it start with 'Sweet' and end with 'Bugger All'?-Ed)...is that your answer Ed?...(mmm, it's a lot of pressure-Ed)...do you want to lock-in 'Sweet Bugger All'?...(urrr, ok, ok, Sweet Bugger All, urrr-Ed)...correct! well done...
One last time...ICAC have apparently investigated me, an investigation that was apparently referred 1) directly to SAPol Anti-Corruption for further investigation and at some point 2) SAPol Prosecutions for charging/prosecuting me, etc, and the ABC have, according to their own Affidavit, had a decade plus of problems with me, including citing a very specific and very serious incident that resulted in me being 'banned' from the ABC, which is an extraordinary situation in-and-of-itself, etc, etc...with all that going on, with everything I've supposedly done, with all the different bastards I apparently am, when these halfwits are presented, nay offered, nay forced into the opportunity to really sort me out once and for-all and shut me down, right there in Court, these hopeless clowns can't summon not one single letter/document between them...not one...for all their vacuous piss-and-vinegar carry-on about me, they whinge and bitch that it's all just too difficult, and actually refuse to come up with one single document to support their position/actions...(wow-Ed)...
It's just about the exact opposite to the clown car thingy where-in a tiny vehicle whizzes to a stop and disgorges enormous quantities of painted and pom-pomed clowns, but instead, this huge, rambling caravan of carnival comedy Court capers grinds to a wheezing, hissing, sagging halt in front of you...and you know it's the work of many, many clowns, but ne'ery a one gets out...
Tomorrow: Just More Court Stuff
Cory 'Barn-yardy' Bernardi:...the right Right-White man for the job...there's just something so very, very special about a Right White man who just knows he's right...how lucky we are to have Cory...
Sarcarstick:...is one of those highly sarcastic stick-on transfers you see in car rear-windows, you know the ones? where they're trying to be ironic or satirical or whatevs but are just really sarcasm? like, ummm, 'my other car's a Generic Sports Car Name'...no it isn't, that car's crap and you ain't got another...(gourd you talk some shizzle some times-Ed)...cheers...
Breaking World News:...when Oz Opposition leader William 'Willy-Won't He? Tricky-Dicky' Richard 'Bill' Shorten trampled international diplomatic conventions by either gate-crashing and/or bone-heading and/or photo-bombing yesterday's critical if somewhat delayed meeting between USofA President Donald 'FW' Trump and our own beloved El Presidenté, Mal Mal Trumble (Malcolm Turnbull)...(I did not see this story-Ed)...oh yeah, haven't seen the footage myself, but it was all over the radio news...(mmm?-Ed)...yeah, it was meant to be a 4 hour meeting but instead Mal Mal only got 30 minutes because it was unfortunately and unavoidably Shortened.........(and you wonder why people hate you-Ed)...nahhh, I got a fair idea...
A Rude Joke:...'cos there's this very, very annoying, very frequent RAA (Royal Automobile Association, local SA roadside service folk) TV ad where-in some beardy-dude's car got totalled and the RAA dude is sayin' it's all gunna' be fine because you got RAA Insurance, etc, etc, stating, 'I have good news for you', obviously referring to the car...(here we go-Ed)...but in my fetid li'l mind-tank, RAA dude actually then says, 'yes, you don't have syphilis...oh, and we're also replacing your knackered car with a new one'...(trés hilarious I'm sure-Ed)...

Howdy Spain, Colombia, Armenia, and Romania and welcome y'all in France as vous goes to your Presidential Election...and in the USofA as it looks like ObamaCare will finally get the chop, including Health Insurers being allowed to charge whatevs they feel like re people with 'pre-existing conditions' like Cancer...(so effectively denying Health Insurance-therefore-treatment to those already dying and even those survivors like your good self?-Ed)...exactly, peeps like moi who had the pleasure of both Chemo and Radiotherapy on the Public Dollar in the Public System...but that's the beauty of the new set-up, that it will greatly reduce the numbers of survivors who need to be treated but can't afford HI because they likely won't get treatment in the first instance! no initial treatment, no survivors!...(it takes a Cancer survivor to appropriately make such a pointedly cynical joke about the realities-Ed)...you're welcome I'm sure...
Thinning Out The Numbers:...just stunned but hardly surprised to learn via a learned advisor that this joke what I done just make about this Health Insurance repeal/review/re-vamp being designed to reduce the burden on the Health System by effectively 'killing-off' the poor, well it ain't such a joke...(and the elderly-Ed)...pardon?...(and the elderly, these changes include making the elderly vulnerable to exactly the same thing, namely, Insurers can charge whatevs they choose so if you look like a likely accessor of your own insurance, up go your premiums, in advance-Ed)...well indeed, that's the issue here, so in a system like this someone like myself, a 50 year old Cancer survivor, even one on the average Oz wage, would face astronomical premiums, effectively denying me any hope of Insurance and therefore any chance of treatment...(and the shock?-Ed)...that this is apparently what the 'repeal' is designed to do, and as explained within the 'pre-amble/explanation/legislation' itself...(nice one-Ed)...no no, I' ain't crackin'-wise here, that's what I'm saying, it's actually in there, that this will reduce the numbers of patients because there'll be less survivors...(right...wow-Ed)...indeed, wow...I'll backtrack through my source and find out exactly where that stuff is and post more laters...
Last post I started into the latest 'hearing' of my epic saga of a trial, but first, let's just kick-it back a gear for just a mo' and revisit what this extraordinary proceedings is all about...and because all of this has now been discussed ad nauseum in Court and/or the media, it is public knowledge and on the public record, blah, blah, blah, that I am in big-twubble mister for talking about an alleged ICAC investigation of Mt Gambier City Council and associated persons...("alleged"?-Ed)...yeah, alleged, because not only do I believe that that 'investigation' never actually happened, in Court in response to their Court-issued Summons, the ICAC/SAPol Prosecutions stated outright that it was "irrelevant" whether or not there was an ICAC investigation because I was 'charged' with talking about someone who was the subject of a complaint to ICAC, not for talking about any ICAC investigation'...(wow-Ed)...indeed...
Two Points:....being that this Monday May 1st 2017 'Application Hearing' was 1) not in an actual Courtroom, no, it was held via videolink, with Magistrate White in Adelaide I think, dunno', and SAPol Prosecutions Batten et moi 2) set side-by-side by our lonesomes aways away in a tiny room aways-off down a side corridor next to the Victims Support Service lounge thingy...I remind availees that I've been required to attend at Mt Gambier Courthouse umpteen times since this whole farcacle (farcical debacle) in February 2015, yet SAPol Prosecutions have repeatedly appeared via videolink from somewhere in Adelaide not a Courtroom, probably within SAPol somewhere, with people clearly sitting off-camera out of sight but not identified, etc, etc...(ah, like that phone conversation with SAPol Prosecutions Ms Diamandi back in March 2016 when her boss Andrew Paech, head of SAPol Prosecutions, when he just lobbed-in from the peripherins unannounced, making a series of specific and critical statements about the conduct of his case!-Ed)...indeed, and when I repeatedly asked for the related proof/documents/explanation, he repeatedly responded that I should take all those questions and "put it in writing"...(you mean like in a Magistrate Anderson approved, Court-issued Summons for exactly that sort of information?-Ed)...exactly like that, but still waiting...
I do now have a copy of the transcript from this Second Trial March 15th-17th 2017, it took approx 6 weeks for it to be prepared...(busy day wasn't it, Court-wise I mean-Ed)...sorry?...(last Thursday April 27th 2017, when Mt Gambier Courthouse rang to say that the transcript was ready and then at 2030hrs the cops rocked-up with the 'Application'-Ed)...well quite, and then I picked-up the transcript on the Friday...(still can't believe that they've handed you that stuff, surely they understand by now that it's all 100% rolled-gold absolute blog-fodder-Ed)...indeed, but we've dealt with alleged 'transcripts' before, haven't we my li'l confected friend?...(good point, how does one check the exact veracity of that transcript though? you said ya'self that much of your own notes are illegible and/or non-sensical because you're being forced to self-represent and are trying to listen, process, mentally cross-reference to other stuff, respond/address, postulate a response, whilst blocking/addressing the perpetual plethora of erroneous utterances sputtering out of SAPol Prosecutions, and take notes, etc, etc, it's just an unmanageable monstrosity-Ed)...indeed it is Ed, indeed it is...
(And hang on, what's this bit at the top of the transcript?-Ed)...I think it's quite self-explanatory...(well mind explaining to this self then please-Ed)...sure, and I can't think of a better way of explaining than to let it explain itself, like I said...this here's from the top of the first page of the 350 of transcript...
(N. B.) Copyright in this transcript is the property of the Crown. If this transcript is
copied without the authority of the Attorney-General proceedings for
infringement will be taken.
...(ahahahaaaahhahaahhhaaaaa..."the authority of the Attorney-General", ahhaahahhhhh, deadset-Ed)...and given it's a State jurisdiction one assumes that that's li'l Johnny Rau, and 'the Crown' is good ol' Sow Straya...(but doesn't this case specifically trample rampantly all over Constitutional Law, so therefore it's a Federal AG issue? and therefore who exactly is 'the Crown' in this context/situation?-Ed)...geez, I dunno' mate, do I look like a lawyer?...(no, you look like you don't like lawyers at all-Ed)...not quite all of them...(fair enough-Ed)...
(And what did li'l Johnny Rau say when you emailed him about this corrupted farce?-Ed)..........(hello?-Ed)...sorry, I was animatedly shrugging my shoulders and pointing at an empty table to indicate sweet bugger-all...(yeah, mime ain't great in a written medium-Ed)...sure, sorry, sweet bugger-all, I ain't got not nuthin', not from any of them...(not even a 'we got your email, get back to you soon' from anyone?-Ed)...nope, nuthin'...(not from Federal AG George Brandis or Member for Barker Tony Pasin or Federal (SA) Senator Nick Xenophon or SA Premier Jay Weatherill or even li'l Johnny Rau?-Ed)...beg pardons, I have had 2 replies from my homie AG George 'Home' Brandis, but they're both deeply obsequious non-acknowledgements of the Constitutional Law issues, instead addressing and dismissing minor parallel issues...(stop right there, none of us need to be exposed to another George Brandis Stampede of Pedanticness-Ed)...is a Pedantipede a many-legged beast without a leg to stand on?...(well it wasn't before that sentence existed, but it sure-as-shreck is now!-Ed)...
The Pedantipede:...a Stampede of Pedanticness...the Pedantipede, a many-legged beast without a leg to stand on...(back of the net-Ed)...
(But hang-on again, that's your testimony, that's your words, how can the Court 'copyright' your words?-Ed)...well that's the technicality I was talking about...(whaaa?-Ed)...well this transcript is only ever a version of the actual proceedings, the South Australian Magistrates Court version...(ahhh, right-Ed)...and I won't be accepting it as a verbatim regurgitation until I've had appropriate swathes of time to reconcile this 'ere 350 page transcript with the actual recording...(so you want to set-down with the transcript and listen to the actual recording?-Ed)...and have requested as such, repeatedly requested...(and?-Ed)...and at one point I got as close as Magistrate White saying that I 'might possibly come into the MG Courthouse and sit in a room there and listen to it'...(and?-Ed)...and nothing...I've repeatedly requested access to these recordings, from this Second Trial and from every other one of the 25+ Court dates thus far...I asked specifically again on Monday...(and?-Ed)...and Magistrate White has relapsed to just ignoring those requests...(wow-Ed)...
(But hang-on again, again, aren't you meant to be provided all this stuff as normal process, and not least of all because you're forced to self-represent so you need to be able to accurately review the mini-maelstrom of Court proceedings?-Ed)...depends on who you ask...ask everyone else, including the various Legal Eagles I have managed to talk to, and they say yay it should surely be that way...(and ask the Court?-Ed)... and can't even get an answer...(right, ok...and what about proper Disclosure or Discovery or whatevs it's called, where SAPol Prosecutions are meant to hand across the entirety of their intended case and related documents, witness statements, etc, so's the defendant gets an opportunity to 1) get appropriate legal advice re 2) all of the stuff being said/used against you?-Ed)...what Court case have you been attending mate?...(no no, I was being sarcastic-Ed)...fair dues...
Time-and-again SAPol Prosecution have introduced new documents and/or changed charges...(and haven't hesitated to outright lie!-Ed)...well indeed...but none of it seems to matter because we're just plowing ahead regardless...on top of that SAPol has shown abject contempt for the Court Summons by providing only non-consequential internal emails and none of the info promised, eg, any sort of actual written explanation as to why I was never charged or Summonsed before my Court case started back in February 2015...beyond that, SAPol are now trying to run some bizarre multi-layered lies strategy about me being charged and/or reported, and I've caught-out both SAPol Prosecutions Batten and their/her lead witness, SAPol ACB Investigating Officer Gardner, caught them both lying, right in front of Magistrate White, and nuthin', waved away as irrelevant...(wow-Ed)...
Here's This Point:...namely, that I successfully argued for the Court/HH Magistrate Anderson to issue Summons to the ABC, to the ICAC, and even to SAPol themselves, Summons for any-and-all information re my case...re the ABC Summons, I merely used what the ABC has put in their Affidavit to the Court to get a Summons for 10 years of documents...(and the ABC's response?-Ed)...it's all a bit too difficult to find any of that info, those emails, that letter specifically identified from 2014, etc, etc, it's all a bit too difficult...(wow-Ed)...orrr yeah, the Summons was apparently "oppressive" and "fishing" and it would take "20 hours" to find any of these alleged communications/actions that my supposedly inappropriate, problematic, and even threatening behaviour had supposedly generated...instead they provided a swathe of 'case law' documents and this "20 hours" shizzle...(so they spent how many hours putting that together then?-Ed)...exactly Ed, it's just bollocks...
I, just me, just li'l ol' me, on my lonesome, without a lawyer, I managed to successfully argue for HH Magistrate Anderson to issue Summons to the SAPol Commissioner, the ICAC Commissioner, and the ABC, who responded via their lawyers from Ultimo in Sydney...(yeah, but it was largely these clowns own conduct in Court, their own self-contradicting evidence, their own behaviours, and their own documents that effectively forced HH to issue those Summons-Ed)...sure, and exact same thing with the Abuse of Process and Malicious Prosecution stuff where-in SAPol et al incompetently painted HH right into that corner, and all I had to do was point at the chaotic mess and say 'hey, why you standing in the corner?' and shazzam! Her Honour literally has no choice...for HH Anderson to not have granted these Summons and to not have acknowledged Abuse of Process and the Malicious Prosecution stuff would have fundamentally prejudiced my case and offered immediate grounds for Appeal...(what, and SAPol Prosecutions' behaviours haven't?-Ed)...fair point Ed, fair point well made...
I'll say that again...it was the conduct of SAPol Prosecutions and their evidence, etc, and of the ICAC, and of the ABC, it was these clowns own shizzle that I successfully used and that ultimately forced Magistrate Anderson to issue those Summons and make the Orders re Malicious Prosecution...but it gets better...(yeeha, here we go-Ed)...better because despite 1) the fact that I have apparently been the subject of an ICAC investigation then referred through to SAPol for prosecution, and 2) the ABC have claimed in their Affidavit that they've had numerous problems with me for over a decade, supposedly culminating in a dastardly incident...(bastardly incident more like-Ed)...at ABC South East studio/reception in January 2014 that supposedly resulted in me being banned from the ABC, as supposedly conveyed to me via a letter from the ABC 'security' guy, etc, etc...(wow-Ed)...despite having been the subject of an ICAC investigation and 10 years a nightmare for the ABC, etc, etc, have a wild guess mate just exactly how many documents these rankly corrupt clowns managed to conjure-up between them, the ABC and the ICAC...(does it start with 'Sweet' and end with 'Bugger All'?-Ed)...is that your answer Ed?...(mmm, it's a lot of pressure-Ed)...do you want to lock-in 'Sweet Bugger All'?...(urrr, ok, ok, Sweet Bugger All, urrr-Ed)...correct! well done...
One last time...ICAC have apparently investigated me, an investigation that was apparently referred 1) directly to SAPol Anti-Corruption for further investigation and at some point 2) SAPol Prosecutions for charging/prosecuting me, etc, and the ABC have, according to their own Affidavit, had a decade plus of problems with me, including citing a very specific and very serious incident that resulted in me being 'banned' from the ABC, which is an extraordinary situation in-and-of-itself, etc, etc...with all that going on, with everything I've supposedly done, with all the different bastards I apparently am, when these halfwits are presented, nay offered, nay forced into the opportunity to really sort me out once and for-all and shut me down, right there in Court, these hopeless clowns can't summon not one single letter/document between them...not one...for all their vacuous piss-and-vinegar carry-on about me, they whinge and bitch that it's all just too difficult, and actually refuse to come up with one single document to support their position/actions...(wow-Ed)...
It's just about the exact opposite to the clown car thingy where-in a tiny vehicle whizzes to a stop and disgorges enormous quantities of painted and pom-pomed clowns, but instead, this huge, rambling caravan of carnival comedy Court capers grinds to a wheezing, hissing, sagging halt in front of you...and you know it's the work of many, many clowns, but ne'ery a one gets out...
