A Quick ICAC Court Catch-up

Howdy Latvia, Colombia, Germany and Ukraine, and to y'all else, welcome to TMGI...dead set, I'd actually forgotten for a coupla' days that there is currently a massively important precedent Independent Commission Against Corruption-based Court case running in Mt Gambier...(Member for Mt Gambier Troy Bell's politically motivated, ICAC-based Theft Charges?-Ed)...well ok, yes, there is that, there are actually 2 massively important precedent ICAC-based Court cases, but no I was referring to li'l ol' moi...(oh of course, sorry-Ed)...no need to apologise mate, it's been a while...(and a while to go yet, when's your next hearing dates?-Ed)...in November 2017, but I can't see it happening, for reasons below...

Just Briefly:...regular availees will perhaps recall that when my 'ICAC Trial' was returned to Mt Gambier in February 2016, (my second) Magistrate Teresa Anderson set-down a 'Trial Date' of August 2016, but then moved that to November 2016...(because?-Ed)...because through the hearings in March, April, May, and June (2016) I managed to successfully establish that vast amounts of information had not been provided to me by SAPol (police), the ICAC, and the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), and at the June hearing, I successfully argued for, and Her Honour issued,  Summons to SAPol, ICAC, and the ABC for this info...and then the August 2016 'Vacated Trial date' was used instead to go through those Summons...we're now at 25(?) hearings, not including 15-20 days of actual 'Trial' dates, of which only 4-5 days have actually been used due to repeated further adjournments, repeated unavailability of witnesses, absence due to illness of SAPol ACB Det Gardner and then Magistrate White, etc, etc... 

(And what's with the air quotes thingy, '**', with every mention of 'Trial'?-Ed)...because, the Court itself keeps referring to specific dates as being the specific 'Trial', eg, November 2016 and March 2017, but as far as I'm concerned, I have been on 'Trial' since February 2015 when the first hearing was held without me having been Summonsed or even Charged...(I've heard that so many times, but it gets none-less ridiculous, particularly in this massively important Precedent Case, and in a context where SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch detectives had already raided your home and therefore clearly know where you are-Ed)...indeed...furthermore, SAPol Prosecution has clearly been constantly re-formulating their case as we go along, trying to nail-down an actual winning formula, and when I've repeatedly destroyed some particular argument/detail/alleged fact, SAPol Prosecutions come back next hearing with modified charges, new documents, etc, as they try to form/re-structure their 'case'...effectively, I have been on 'Trial' since February 2015, with SAPol Prosecutions trying to do exactly that, prosecute me, with spectacular and Epic Failness...

My ICAC Trial Is The Precedent Case:... in numerous ways, namely,
1) this is the first official investigation of a private citizen by SA ICAC, leading to;
2) the first prosecution under the extraordinarily powerful and all-encompassing Section 56 of the SA ICAC Act 2012, and is therefore also;
3) the first prosecution of a private citizen under any section of the (South Australian) Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 2012...
...so let's look at that once again, just for effect...

I am the precedent investigation of a private citizen by SA ICAC, leading to the precedent prosecution of a private citizen by SA ICAC, in the precedent application of the SA ICAC Act 2012, Section 56. 

I remind availees that I'm not a lawyer, not a journo, not any sort of 'professional' anything, just one very Large Angry Hippy, and that all that LAH has had to do in defending these ludicrous ICAC Charges, is to stand his ground...(and tell the truth-Ed)...well it's not even that complicated really, because I haven't yet officially answered any questions, other than when I was forced to enter a plea...if 'Truth' is an issue, it's more about the faults and failings and frequent falsehoods in the ICAC/SAPol case that I've managed to use against them so effectively...(I'd say politely brutally, in that you don't swear or threaten or whatevs, but you get in there, right in there-Ed)...cheers...

SAPol Prosecutions:...have made multiple promises to provide swathes of critical documents, but then have failed/refused to do so, even in response to that Summons issued by Magistrate Anderson...critical issues like,
1) how did my case get to SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch from ICAC?
2) where does 'Operation Baritone' come from, SAPol or ICAC?
3) why is a private citizen who hasn't committed an act of 'Corruption', being investigated and
    raided, etc, by SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch,
4) who ordered that raid of my home on May 7th/8th 2014?
5) why wasn't I ever actually 'Charged'?,
6) why wasn't I Summonsed to my own 'Trial' start-date in February 2015?,
7) what 'advice' was received and from whom (re Constitutional Law issues) when my 'Trial'
   was returned to Mt Gambier in 2016?
8) what is the 'special meeting' of all Attorneys-General required when a 'State' law/trial threatens
    to impinge on Federal Constitutional Law, as identified by SAPol Prosecutions Ms Diamandi
    during the February 2016 hearing, and has this 'meeting' occurred?

There are many other issues/questions, but that'll do to be going-on with...SAPol's response to the Court Summons was a bundle of gibberish internal emails that address none of the above...the ABC, who have lodged an Affidavit claiming a decade of 'problems' with me, and that I've been banned from the ABC, etc, the ABC's Sydney-based lawyers responded that the Summons was "oppressive" and "fishing for information" and that it was all a bit difficult and would take "20 hours" to find any letters, emails, etc...this 'it's all a bit too difficult really' approach was mimicked by the ICAC, who actually stated that 'it's irrelevant whether or not we actually did an investigation, because that's not what you're charged with, you're charged with identifying a complainant'...(it's irrelevant whether or not the ICAC and Mt Gambier City Council are complicitly lying about an alleged ICAC investigation of MGCC? that's irrelevant is it?-Ed)...apparently...between them the ABC and SA ICAC managed to produce exactly not a single document, not one email, not one letter...(not even the letter the ABC claims to have sent you in January/February 2014 banning you, etc?-Ed)...not even that alleged letter...not one single document between them...it's an absolute joke... 

The Office of Public Integrity:...are effectively a 'front door to ICAC', and were only ever a bit-player in the original October 2013 reports/complaints about Mt Gambier City Council's corruption...under cross-examination, OPI claimed to be unaware of 'Operation Baritone' or any other issue/complaint involving me, and agreed that indeed, as I put it to the witness, if they (OPI) received a complaint about a private citizen, they would not forward it to ICAC because that's not their perview, they only deal with Public Officers, Public Servants, Elected Officials, eg, politicians, etc...he was unable to sat exactly what they would do... 

ICAC:...was represented at 'Trial' in March 2017 by the Chief Investigator (at the time, 2013/14, now retired), and he also claimed to be unaware of 'Operation Baritone', and/or how my case came to be with ICAC or then to SAPol, etc...he seemed to be completely unaware of my case at all...and when cross-examined by moi, conceded that he had not actually read the 'One Page ICAC Info Sheet' that he and I discussed in October 2013, and that he had 'advised me' on, he hadn't actually read that sheet...(wow-Ed)...oh it gets better...(it always does with you-Ed)...well this OPIIS is supposedly a critical document in the SAPol Prosecution case, supposedly proving that I'd been clearly told what I could and/or couldn't say about ICAC investigating Mt Gambier City Council, etc, and that therefore I knew that I was a heinous and dirty perp...(you bastard!-Ed)...apparently...

So here's SAPol's/ICAC's critical witness, giving evidence to this supposedly critical document, and then he says he hasn't read it before 'advising' me about it's contents, all one page of it...and it was then that I had one of those hushed, still moments when everything slows down, and the question coalesced in my li'l ol' brain-box, 'Mr ICAC Person, have you read that OPIIS now?'...(nooo? don't tell me?-Ed)...oh yeah...(still hadn't read it?-Ed)...still hadn't read it...(so he's the critical witness from ICAC with whom you specifically discussed the OPIIS and Section 56, etc, back in 2013, and he hadn't read it?-Ed)...yep...(and he still hasn't read it now?-Ed)...nope...(but he's SAPol Prosecution's key witness giving critical testimony on their key document/evidence, and they didn't even think to get him to read it, or even ask him if he'd read it?-Ed)...apparently not...(I don't understand, well I mean, I do understand, but...-Ed)...it just doesn't make sense?...(thankyou, yes-Ed)...mmm, it really quite defies belief doesn't it, but there you have it...

Unfortunately, I have to accept that the personnel provided to the Court are the ones who dealt with my case within the Office of Public Integrity, the ICAC, and SAPol, and there's still several witnesses to go, but after cross-examining the witnesses already presented by SAPol Prosecutions, and with reference to those Summons issued to SAPol and ICAC, as above, it has been established by me, that, allegedly;
1)   my 'Case' somehow just appeared somewhere undefined within ICAC, without going through
      OPI or any other appropriate agency, sometime between October 2013 and February 2014,
      but with no date, no identifiable complainant, allegedly no paperwork at all, etc;
2)   then, on an unknown date in mid-February 2014, my 'Case' was referred by ICAC Comm
      Bruce Lander to SAPol ACB, but there is again allegedly no paperwork at all with either ICAC
      or SAPol re this transfer, not even a 'note' in the SAPol Lead Investigator's Case Notes;
3)   somehow, somewhere at this time, my 'Case' became SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch
      'Operation Baritone', yet allegedly no-one knows who did this or how it happened, there is
      again allegedly no paperwork at all identifying whether it came out of ICAC with that
      'operational' status and name or whether it was SAPol, etc;
4)   someone in SAPol (unidentified) then ordered the May 7th/8th 2014 raid of my home, yet
      there is allegedly no paperwork at all re this raid, not even a 'Note' in the Lead Investigators
      Case Notes as to who told her to conduct this raid, or when that 'order' was received, etc;
5)   meaning that my 'Case' somehow went into ICAC, on an unknown date, then was somehow   
      referred to SAPol ACB "in mid-February 2014", somehow/somewhere becoming 'Operation
      Baritone', at some unknown point and by some unknown hand, and then my house was
      raided by SAPol ACB in May 2014, but for all of that, there's allegedly not one single
      document involved. 

(So, you're suggesting that 'Operation Baritone' just somehow appeared in the SA ICAC, but with no paperwork at all, etc, then just somehow moved to SAPol ACB, again with no paperwork at all, then SAPol ACB came to your home in an Official Raid on May 7th/8th 2014, but yet again there's no paperwork at all to say who ordered that raid, approved it, etc, no paperwork at all for any of that?-Ed)...exactly, apart from one 'Note' from mid-March 2014 about 'reading the blog (TMGI)'...(I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that-Ed)...mate, I wouldn't lie to ya'...(no no, I believe everything you're saying, not least-of-all because it's all on the Court Record, but I simply don't believe that there could be so much official activity from ICAC and SAPol hierarchy and yet there's allegedly not one single document, it's simply not believable-Ed)...indeed, yet this is exactly what we all are supposed to believe...and never forget that Court Summons were issued for that info... 

Tomorrow: I'm Going To Stamp My Foot And Go Hurrumff Quite Brusquely

The Weatherill Labor government are running long TV ads spruiking what great work Ray Jay and his merry band of Shiny Men in the Labor Party have done to address South Australia's desperately concerning Energy Crisis...a very long ad, that we're paying for, that's just one long denial of the realities, padded right-out with outright lies...and the ultimate joke is the supposedly clever little Get-out Clause written into that ad...check it out for ya'selves if you can, try something like 'our energy plan sa gov'...whatevs, here's the good oil, 'cos about third sentence in, the woman presenter states that these ludicrous measures will help us, "avoid unnecessary blackouts"...that's right, 'unnecessary blackouts'...(so when the SA Electricity System is collapsing again, like it did completely in September 2016, and the National Regulator cuts us off again, like they did in September 2016, then that's what? a necessary blackout?...and necessary because if they don't cut SA loose we'll drag the other Eastern states down with us!-Ed)...spot on Ed, absolutely spot on...

Whatta' Complete Load Of Shed:...because everything that we've got comin' this Summer, it's all there looming-up ahead of us like a Reality Tsunami, it's just a matter of when it hits...there's already record heatwaves in NSW and Queensland and it's not a month into Spring yet...it is already being reported (from the National Regulator? - AEMO/NEMO/WHATEVS-O) that there are concerns there will be 70 days of Electricity Under-Production/Over-Demand this Summer...it's a very simple equation really, for 2 of the 3 months there will be more demand than there is production capability, guaranteed, and this then guarantees the 'necessity' of strategies like 'Rationing', otherwise politically politely excused as 'Load-Shedding'...and when we suffer through the inevitable Load Shedding/Rationing and/or other 'necessary black-outs', then people die, fact, because the heat kills more people than the cold in Australia, and often for months afterwards as vulnerable people never recover...

And think I'm being a hyperbolic nutter hurling irrelevant and malicious abuse?...take ya' time, play this out for yourselves via the Interweb...with the entire East Coast Grid at risk, South Australia as an entire state may end-up being Load-Shed, that is, cut-off as per September 2016...we as a state are in big trouble, and it will cost hundreds of lives...

The Cost Of Electricity Costs Lives:...because people simply cannot afford electricity in South Australia...we have the highest prices for 'Leccy anywhere on the Rock, and the least reliable, entirely vulnerable to the vaguaries of the weather and/or a switch at the Victorian border (the Heywood Interconnector)...Rann/Weatherill Labor's deeply corrupted and self-serving pseudo-ideology of Renewable Energy at whatever cost, well it costs lives gentlemen, it actually kills people because 1) they simply can't afford the electricity, 2) if there is any...and you know it, and you just don't care...(and what does it say about those who support Renewable Energy but just ignore this vast Reality happening right around them?-Ed)...indeed, these 1,000s of individual realities...(oh but Adelaide has a Space Program-Ed)...do not get me started...(but as a confected literary device, that's exactly what I'm supposed to do!-Ed)...oh yeah, right, well then, here's the joke, 5, 4, 3, 2, oh damn, someone start the generator will ya'? got that Bazza?! right, just a sec' folks...hmmm, lovely day for a launch, hardly a breath of wind...(you are just hilarious-Ed)...not really, I don't see anything funny here...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...

And This Is How You Build A Golden Bridge

Howdy to Jordan, Brazil, the UK/Scotland/Ireland, the USofA, Germany, Russia, Costa Rico, Ukraine, China, Saudi Arabia, and to everyone else in the dozens of countries that I haven't mentioned today specifically but do me the distinct pleasure/honour of joining us here on TMGI...(us?-Ed)...well sure, ok, dear availees, Ed is referring to the fact that Ed is not a person...(so you're not a person?-Ed)...ok, Ed is not a separate person, it's all just me what writes this 'ere blog, that's the joke I keep making about a confected literary device, a made-up character who can be utilised to construct opposing discussions and set-up jokes, etc...I stumbled into 'him' by accident, and reckon 'Ed' works really well as a way to cover a lot of conflicting and often very unpleasant ground in ways that are not accusatory (of availees) or too confronting, and to try and be more of a discussion than a lecture...(or worse, preaching-Ed)...well indeed, I'm more than prepared to state that a coupla' specific issues are not up for debate, and do I hang-it on some specific people, but please never ever accuse me of preaching...    
Feedback:...cheers for all the recent 'Comments' and/or feedback and/or messages...whilst I might not respond specifically to stuff, please bear with me...(is that all your personal stuff about not wanting to drag others into your shizzle?-Ed)...yeah, that's a big part of it, but please to be expecting dear availees that your stuff will be in the next few posts, for example, it don't take much to get me goin' re the ongoing issues of rank corruption in Grant District Council and the rankly corrupt re-zoning of land owned by then serving GDC Councillor Brenton James, and that extraordinary situation where Cr James went to some-one's home to confront them, then tried to have that person charged, etc, etc...definably corrupt Land Re-zoning with rankly corrupt Nepotism, etc, and all backed-up with Threats and Intimidation, it's Corrupt Local Government 101...(and it's exactly that sort of harassment/intimidation that you're subjected to too!-Ed)...indeed, Mt Gambier City Council has real form when it comes to harassing and threatening me, it's been happening for years now...(and how's that working out for them then, abject disaster every time?-Ed)...every time...and speaking of MGCC corruption...

Laugh I Nearly:...because on Monday I saw a TV ad for Hallmark Jewellers who were doing their fly in/fly out gold buying day thingy that they do, apparently to be held at the CWA Hall in Lawrence St, Mt Gambier...(CWA Hall in Lawrence St? why does that sound so familiar?-Ed)...because it's a muddy hole where a hall used to be before MGCC kicked the Country Women's Assoc out and immediately demolished said beautiful little hall only weeks ago...(and didn't we here at TMGI, didn't we cane that outrageously wasteful process as a corrupt pseudo-contract conceived and executed purely as a way to pour more of your Ratepayer's money into the pockets of MGCC's family/friends/mates/whatevs-Ed)...and then the next day the ad was on again, but now it's at the Library, which Ratepayers also fund...

The Golden Segue:...because in the previous post, I absolutely hammered Mt Gambier City Councillor Mark Lovett...(and quite rightly! absolutely unacceptable behaviour from an elected Public Official, let alone given the circumstances/history behind that 'Incident'!-Ed)...sure, calm down, I ain't apologising or withdrawing or nuthin', I'm just demonstrating 1) my commitment to what's really important, and 2) my genuine capacity for empathy and understanding...I am rabidly furious with Cr Lovett for his inexcusable behaviour, and now I'm going to build him an excuse...(why do I get the feeling that this is going to get very, very ugly?-Ed)...because we've all been here before mate, the truth will be 1) not denied, and 2) incredibly ugly...(go on then, off you go-Ed)...well it's easy really, once you ignore the reprehensibly inappropriate conduct of a serving Councillor in leaving the Chamber to harass and attempt to intimidate and/or threaten a member of the public, an excuse is easy...

If Cr Lovett has acted,
1)  in complete ignorance of the history of the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up
     and Cr Frank Morello's explicitly complicit role in that cover-up, etc, and;
2)  in a genuine belief that others were somehow in some sort of imminent danger.

In this circumstance, if both these things were true, then I would have done exactly the same as Cr Lovett, or something similar...(rubbish, you've never ever postured-up in some-one's face like that, all that angry man, threatening, carry-on shizzle-Ed)..well no, that part of it is down to Cr Lovett's personal conduct and how he chooses to deal with stuff, and you're right, I personally consider it to be unacceptable behaviour that I just don't do...I'd reckon the worst I manage is a good glare at Cr Steve Perryman at Council meetings, in that circumstance I make a point of eye-balling him when he's holding-forth about whatevs...he's usually the only person I even look at for the whole meeting, and in that one circumstance I don't hold back...no apologies...(none needed, indeed, given Stevo's  extraordinary pro-paedophile corruption, I'd suggest that you only 'looking at him' is extraordinarily controlled and is just a very small part of exactly what he deserves-Ed)...well quite...but we digress, 'cos as above, if both these conditions were met, then certainly, interposing oneself into that 'situation' would be perfectly appropriate, albeit not in the manner that Cr Lovett did...

So there's ya' bridge, mate, I've built it, now get over it...be the man you apparently think you are, and embrace the magnitude of your ignorance, and then repentantly beg my forgiveness...be man enough to admit that, in your ignorance, you've made a horrendous mistake and that you are genuinely repentant and I'll pass that apology onto the other families whom Frank rankly betrayed whilst Editor of the definably pro-paedophile corrupt The Border Watch newspaper...last post I suggested that you might like to step-up and fulfil the promises, the threats, that you deliberately infer with this ludicrous posturing carry-on, well here's another offer, a better one, step-up and be a man and apologise, own your failure and grow from it...

(And that's how you personally build a Golden Bridge is it?-Ed)...yeah, what's wrong with that?...(yeah, well, as I understand it, one usually builds one's adversary a 'Golden Bridge' so that said adversary may retreat across it to then potentially become an ally, etc-Ed)...your point?...(well I don't think that you're supposed to build the Golden Bridge and then drop it on people-Ed)...wonderful metaphor Ed, but it takes one word, as always, it takes that one genuine word, one single 'sorry'...just say sorry Cr Lovett, just apologise, Mark, and mean it, and all is forgiven...but until then, dear oh dear...(mmm, fair enough-Ed)...more tomorrow, Frankly... 

Is This Why Jack 'The Rat' Snelling Finally Resigned?:...due to recent changes (that I and other parents started pursing 15 years ago re St Martins/Child Protection in SA) re South Australia's appalling Child Protection System, new legislation from 2-3 years ago means that supposedly specialised Child Protection Staff have been interviewing kids re abuse, etc, so that the kids statements can be used in Court instead of the kids having to give evidence in person...whilst I don't believe that this was a genuine move by a rankly pro-paedophile Labor Party, that's the supposed set-up...well it's supposed to be...it is reported that a Child Abuse charge (several charges) have been withdrawn in an Adelaide Court because the relevant Evidentiary Statements are legally inadmissable because the CPS personnel don't have the requisite qualifications...(you're joking mate! this is Labor's supposed response to one of their own recent Royal Commissions, there's been so many I've literally lost track, but you're saying these CPS staff haven't had the proper training to be able to do their job in a way that is legally acceptable when it's the whole point of what they're doing, to be used in Court, of course they have to be trained properly, it's grossly incompetent to not train them!-Ed)...oh it's way better than that, those staff have had the training...(then what's the problem?-Ed)...it is being reported that these accreditations/qualifications were not signed by Health (On Earth) Minister Jack Snelling...is this the final disaster for the disaster-laden camel that is Jack Snelling's tenure as Health Minister?...

This 'the kids can't give evidence in Court', 'the kids will have to face Dorling (the paedophile teacher)  and cross-examination by a hostile lawyer', 'it will be really traumatising for your kids', etc, etc...this exact excuse/manipulation/justification was repeatedly used against us parents by a wholly pro-paedophile corrupt 'Child Protection System', especially alleged expert Professor Frida Briggs in that infamous email that I've posted many times previous, where-in she clearly state that our kids would be 'hopeless' in Court, etc...and good gourd, here comes that rankly complicit clown Victim's Rights Commissioner Michael O'Connell to tell us all how bad this blunder is and what trauma kids endure in Court, etc...Language Warning:...*I've removed the swearing*...End Language Warning...you vacuously corrupt clown, you have betrayed my child, my family, dozens of other kids and their families, and every child/person in this state with your complicit cowardice re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...and speaking of rank corruption re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, back to the rankly corrupt MGCC...

Just Bare-Faced Corruption:...when one of Mt Gambier City Council's new four $200,000pa 'Managers', Barbara Cernovskis ran through a list of 'projects/applications' that Council have apparently reviewed re this farcical $40million Fund My Neighbourhood pork-barrelling as announced by Labor 2 months ago...again apologies that I haven't followed this FMN stuff properly, but it does appear from what I witnessed Tuesday that any 'applications' have to go through local Councils for 'approval', because that's how it was being discussed, 'yes we'll support that application, no we won't support that one', etc...whatevs, it's a transparently corrupt $40m bribe, ripe for the official rorting that such schemes are designed to allow, more money for dodgy mates and family members, and some money to a coupla' 'holy cow' causes or applications that supposedly justify all of it...it's a $40m Election Bribe stunt, full stop...

But anyhoos, in that list, up bobs the Old Rail Station...(nooo?-Ed)...oh yeah, not enough time here in this post, but tomorrow, wow...one interesting point, Barbara Cernovskis stated outright that the 'application' was 'not supported by Council because it would cost the requested $100,000 just to remove the Asbestos, and total $500,000 to do a full reno'(paraphrase)...(so Council's committed to specific costings?-Ed)...spot on mate...(even if its a vacuous lie in support of their undisguised agenda, the Rail Lands Retail Agenda, and expanding the Lakes Plaza right across the Rail Lands, including demolishing the beautiful ol' Rail Station Building?-Ed)...again Ed, spot on mate, only $500k and it's done, whack a small Rail Museum, a gallery, the local bus terminus, etc, etc...it's exactly that easy...and they'll never do it...'cos they're crooks...

$200,000 Labor Loan To Mt Gambier RSL:...Labor Minister Kyam Maher was on the ABC South East Radio yet again this morning, self-praising Labor for lobbing chump-change at the money-pit that the Mt Gambier RSL has become...I don't know this situation well enough to be able to say that so-and-so did such-and-such, but it's self-evidently obvious that this grossly over-expensive new building project was grossly mishandled, driving the RSL into un-payable debt...and whilst this 'loan' is clearly just rank pork-barrelling 6 months out from the March 2018 State Election, it was Kyam's comments about this 'loan process' that I found so highly amusing...Kyam lavished praise on MGCC for organising this 'loan', and most particularly the 'fabulous work by Cr Mark Lovett', and 'also Cr Josh Lynagh', indeed it was in reverse order, stating firstly that Cr Lovett was responsible/terrific, then also Cr Lynagh was also responsible/terrific, then MGCC last...(what a corrupt joke!-Ed)...well indeed...

When asked about the latest changes in Labor's Cabinet and whether he wanted to be Health Minister, Kyam responded that 'the Ministers resigned for personal reasons', and then laughingly denied any desires for another Portfolio, "I love what I do"...(well bully for him then-Ed)...oh yes, he's "very pleased" apparently...(what, with marching straight out of the rankly pro-paedophile corrupt Crown Solicitors Office and straight into a rankly corrupt Labor Front Bench defined by it's pro-paedophile corruption?-Ed)...well quite, and I know I'm not the only person who attributes Kyam's meteoric political rise to his parent's rank pro-paedophile corruption and specific, multiple complicit direct links to the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...(you're right, the Truth really does get ugly-Ed)...don't it though...

Kyam was then asked, 'is this (the $200k) Labor's campaign start for March 2018?', and Kyam was all over the shop, blathering about how it's still 6 months to go, etc, but not mentioning any candidate or even potential candidate, etc, and then just plowed-off into his now-usual desperate spiel about current Member for Mt Gambier, Troy Bell, and how he's 'facing very serious charges', etc, and that 'the charges make it difficult for him to represent', and 'but we'll step-up', etc, etc, and then exposed the reality of the whole conversation when he went back to attacking Troy Bell whilst praising-up MGCC, stating, 'why has MGCC and a couple of City Councillors had to fill the void, the State member usually advocates but he's pre-occupied with Court'(paraphrase)...this is a $200,000 stunt designed to promote Labor stooges from a rankly corrupt Mt Gambier City Council and MGCC itself, and attack Troy Bell...

And I laugh when I think of how desperately hard Kyam's worked to not look at me at the coupla' public events where we've crossed paths but ne'ery gazes...(what I find far more amusing are these people who see you, man do they see you, but then they suddenly can't see you any more apparently-Ed)...and ironically, for the same reason that I continue to be denigrated behind my back but never to my face in this sickly corrupt community...(because no-one's got the guts to front you because they know what's a' comin' in response, a very nasty serve of Realities that they'd much rather ignore-Ed)...such as, the undeniable reality that Mt Gambier's Political and Social Elite operate as a Paedophile Ring, all dutifully covering each other for personal profit...   

Just exactly how blatantly corruptly complicitly obvious do these clowns need to be before someone actually says enough...(enough?-Ed)...no no, 'enough!'...('enough!'?-Ed)...yeah, that's better...(bocconcinni! sweet baby cheeses! you're not suggesting that this praise for Lovett and Lynagh indicates that one of them will be Labor's pseudo-candidate for the March 2018 State Election?-Ed)...well actually I hadn't thought it out that far, but sure, it's certainly classic Stooge/pseudo-candidate behaviour from Labor, they've done it at every State Election that I've been involved in...(hang on, didn't we absolutely escoriate MGC Councillor Lovett in the last post for his outrageous albeit hilarious conduct at MGCC's Full Meeting last Tuesday?-Ed)...indeed we did Ed, that's what I was talking about before, just above...(oh right, yes, of course-Ed)...what's your point?...(ah nuthin' really, just sayin', this 'ere blog gives Cr Lovett an absolute caning, and within 24hrs, Labor's Kyam Maher is on the ABC South East radio praising him and Lynagh and MGCC-Ed)...mmm, interesting observation mate, I concur that there's a palatable push on to promote Cr Josh Lynagh as a future civic leader with his alleged connections to and therefore supposed empathy for the Youth of Mt Gambier...what a joke...

Tomorrow:  Whatevs, A Big Steaming Serve of Whatevs

A Closing Thought:...in Oz, we have a Consumer Affairs magazine called Choice...(mmm?-ed)...well is the Aotearoa (New Zealand) version called Choice Bro?...(and you wonder why people hate you?-Ed)...are you suggesting I'm the first person ever to do that joke?...(oh gourd I hope so!-Ed)...cheers...

***dear availees, started 4 days ago, with this next bit done before some dude has been charged with head-butting Tony Abbott, but I've left this in because it is all still unfortunately very relevant...said dude has stated that he just hates Tony and it had nothing to do with SSM...cheers***

And hands up if you believe former PM and continuing serial liar Tony 'The Mad' Abbott that he was actually head-butted by a 'Same Sex Supporter' today in Tasmania...(did anybody else see this?-Ed)...not that I saw/heard...(police charged anyone?-Ed)...it wasn't reported on the news, so I guess no...(police talking to some-one?-Ed)...no, not reported...(but surely Tony got a fabulous look at this person who supposedly hailed him from across the street, approached Tony whilst allegedly stating that he -Ed)...'he' being the anonymous invisible ninja protestor, yeah?...(yeah yeah, apparently he said 'I want to discuss the SSM stuff with you', and then head-butted Tony?-Ed)...yeah, what's your point on this one?...(well surely Tony has been able to provide police with a specifically detailed description of said alleged assailant, and police are making their inquiries, etc?-Ed)...well I didn't hear anything even remotely like that reported or even asked... 

I do not believe one word that comes out of Tony Abbott's mouth, unless he's committing to bigotted self-interest, and furthermore, I wouldn't put it past these clowns to dress-up some Liberal stooge as a SSM supporter and pull some pantomime stunt exactly like this...beyond that, and most likely, and whilst I do not and will not support violence, even towards this arse, I can imagine that there are many people who'd reckon that Tony's bigotted and deceitful conduct as PM has long-ago earned him a head-butt...but whatevs, Tony Abbott has repeatedly demonstrated his propensity for bare-faced lies, right down the barrel of the camera, and this reeks of absolute bollocks...

And reckon I'm being a blinkered, paranoid conspiracist by suggesting that this 'assault' either 1) didn't happen or 2) was a set-up or 3) was most likely just a random assault related to people's justifiable hatred for this easily hate-able man, that Tony's then tried to hang-on a SSM supporter...well, it's now 24hrs since this alleged attack, and police are apparently looking into it, but the security camera footage of the alleged assault (on this morning's news's) it's just Tony strollin' down the street...I've already seen 2 'Vote No' advocates suggesting that it was 'Vote Yes' supporters who Bomb-Hoaxed the AFL headquarters yesterday after they (AFL) officially supported the YES campaign wih a large YES sign across their AFL HQ logo sign...(what, so it's some sort of Reverse Psychology attempt from the YES camp to somehow denigrate the No camp?-Ed)...yeah, and the sad reality is that it's just plausible as rancid idealogues on both sides race to the bottom of this ludicrous process...

***as stated, someone has been charged but in those first moments I genuinely doubted it because it was Tony Abbott saying it...I mean, lie to me that often, and who's fault is it I find him unbelievable?...and I got it half right, not related to the SSM stuff***

(Ya' know, in a debate on Same Sex Marriage, which I personally prefer to call Marriage Equality, but in that contest where it's basically down to a 'Yes' camp and a 'No' camp, everybody's camp-Ed)...as a row of tents mate...

Treaty vs Reality:...as my mate Kyam Maher was on the ABC news this morning, self-congratulating again about another one of SA Labor Party's rankly offensive Political Stunts aimed squarely at the March 2018 State Election, namely Treaty discussions with Aboriginal people in SA...(wow, there really is no batsardry too low for Labor is there, and from an Aboriginal/Torres Straight Islander man too-Ed)...indeed Ed, if it wasn't offensive enough for Labor to try and politically manipulate Aboriginal people over such a traumatic issue, they send an Aboriginal/TSI man to do it...bottomline, as covered in many previous posts, research it for yourselves dear availees, etc, just exactly what it is and/or isn't what SA Labor have done with regard to Aboriginal people...(like forcing 'Internal Refugees' from Yuendumu in the Northern Territory, camping in the West Parklands of Adelaide (2011) after fleeing the violence in their home community, shoving them on buses and trucking them out to Elizabeth City Centre 25kms away and dumping them there, and done so's that the Parklands wouldn't look untidy during the Fringe Festival-Ed)...exactly, Ed, exactly like that...(what a disgrace, I hang my head in our collective shame-Ed)...at the very core of this stunt is the fundamentally undeniable reality of how Labor have actually treated Aboriginal peoples...what a disgrace...

And let's not skip-over the reality of that disgraceful event because that camp was for all intents and purposes a Refugee Camp, and Labor herded those people, those refugees, literally herded them into buses and dumped them at Elizabeth...I recall the panicked voice of an Elizabeth Council employee, on the ABC Adelaide radio late that Friday afternoon, reporting it in real time, 'they've just been dumped here in the town square and everything's already closed', etc...and as I type, yet another Kyam moment on the ABC, and according to my mate Kyam, this rancid political manipulation of Treaty Negotiations is a 'momentus day'...what a disgrace...  

Kyam, mate, from here-on-in, every time I hear you on the radio, mate, I'm gunna' jump right down ya' throat, armed with your own words...eat them, choke on them, whatevs, but every time...you are a disgrace...

Dear Oh Dear, Now That Was A Stupid Thing To Do, Wasn't It?

Dear Availees,
                   This evening, Tuesday 19th September 2017, as I was leaving the Mt Gambier City Council Full Meeting, I was approached and spoken to by Councillor Frank Morello, right there in the foyer immediately outside the Council Chamber, only metres from the door...Councillor Morello stated that it was about this 'ere blog, then oh-so-politely repeatedly accused me of calling him "a paedophile" here on this 'ere blog, and repeatedly stated "it's defamation"...I'm just immediately putting this on the record, as indeed I did to Council's new $200,000p/a Manager of Whatevs Nick Serle when he and Councillor Mark Lovett came out into the foyer and started eyeballing me from feet away, closely followed by CEO Mark McShane, to whom I also immediately explained what was happening...

This is exactly the sort of shizzle that I regularly have to put-up with, but this is the third such 'incident' in just 3 weeks, with lawyer Bill DeGaris walking 'at' me in Mt Gambier Courthouse, then about 2 weeks ago MGCC CEO Mark McShane walked 'at' me in a public place, smiling and saying, 'how are you going?'...dear availees, please to be understanding of course that this was a deeply disingenuous greeting for the consumption of others present, from a man whom we both know, he and I, that I'm trying to see him gaoled for his part in the rank corruption that defines Mt Gambier City Council...and now this...  

Learn From Your Mistakes, Frankly:...just so's there's no confusion about exactly what went down as I left this evening's Full Meeting of the Mt Gambier City Council...right outside the Chamber doors, Cr Frank Morello approached me, engaged me about this blog, The Mount Gambier Independent, and straight-out threatened me with defamation, as I explained it to Nick Serle, Cr Mark Lovett, and Council CEO Mark McShane...not my opinion, not my version of events, Cr Frank Morello walked 'at' me, deliberately intercepting me, and then repeatedly accused me of calling him a paedophile here on TMGI, and repeatedly 'empty-threatened' me with repeated statements that I have defamed him, repeatedly stating "its defamation"...

The Furtive Lurker:...whilst this smacks of deliberately organised bastardry amateurishly acted-out with attempted orchestrated efficiency, whatevs, perhaps Frank just had a massive brain-fade and decided in the moment that this was somehow a good idea, whatevs, it is on the record here on TMGI...and it's on Council's record/Minutes that Cr Morello was already out of the Chamber due to a Conflict of Interest on the previous item, coincidentally the last item before us plebs got booted-out for Council's 'Exclusion Items' about 'Selling Properties To Recover Rates x3'...thusly Frank was already lurking furtively out in the foyer and there were several media and/or Council staff at the Chamber door, in the foyer area, at or just going down the stairs, etc, who witnessed and/or heard him approach me and talk to me...not up for discussion, Frank approached me, walked half in front of me such that I had to half-step around him, whilst saying to me 'can I have a word?'...

For the majority of the rest of the conversation Cr Morello and I were only metres from the Chamber doors and our discussion would have been clearly audible to those in the Chamber, indeed, Manager Nick Serle and Cr Mark Lovett and CEO Mark McShane all came out into the doorway/arch of the Chamber...(it's sort of recessed back a bit, so the actual doorway alcove bit is a coupla' feet across, you can be effectively well outside the actual Chamber door which gets closed during votes/etc/whatevs, but still be barely a foot into the foyer/landing area-Ed)...yeah, cheers Ed, good explanation...           

Learn This Mistake Faster, Frankly:...because during this discussion, when I was repeatedly reminding Frank that, in his role as former Editor of The Border Watch, he is 1) personally responsible for covering-up the abuse of my child and dozens of others at St Martins Lutheran School, and therefore 2) contributing to the ongoing abuse of children, and all Frank could summon was shaking his head and saying over and over, "no,no,no,no,no"...(well I for one am totally convinced-Ed)...Ed! mate, where you been?...(mate, been tryin', can't get a word in edge-ways-Ed)...yeah, sorry, I'm steamin', all fueled-up on way too much coffee at exactly the wrong end of the day...(and from that stupid grin, I'd say another fair dose of that Self-Esteem bizzo-Ed)...well Ed, as others increasingly encourage me to do, I do take a certain pride in some things, and that includes how well I conduct myself in these really unpleasant situations...it's not that I don't get angry, but it's not like I'm a donkey on the edge either, it's just a weird calm/angry place where I seem to do my best work...(like in Court with your ICAC stuff?-Ed)...exactly like that...

And the pride is taken in that I don't think that there's anything particularly remarkable about how gentle I am and how relatively calm I do remain in these intense situations, etc, because to me it's just me being me...and better still, no-one can take that away from me, because no-one's ever seen me swear at someone...(well apart from that one time when you royally hung-it on former Member for Mt Gambier Rory McEwen from only feet away, at the Polling Booth that time, remember?-Ed)...remind me...(um, Language Warning, because I believe you opened with a little something like, ummm, 'don't fucking say hello to me you fucking paedophile fuck'-Ed)...yeah, near enough, and End Language Warning, but even then I only ever spoke at normal voice level, and afters, that lady came-up and asked me if I was alright because I looked upset...(and good on her-Ed)...but apart from that one time, I've literally almost never sworn at or shouted at or threatened or tried to threaten and/or intimidate, etc, and never, ever raised my hand to another person, ever...and no-one can take that away from me...even tonight, when these clowns are hangin' their collective stupidity on me, calm as...

But others do occasionally 'congratulate' for lack of a better word, perhaps 'comment on' is better...(that's 2 words sir-Ed)...how calm and focussed I am in these situations, and I did it again tonight, almost like I've been playin' these games so long that it's become second nature...       

Mark, Mark, Mark My Words:... mate, whatta' ya' doin'? come and try and stand over me mate, get all-up in my grill and shizzle and try and intimidate me? and how'd that work-out for ya' champ? just exactly how intimidated did I look, mate? you are a joke...stand there all angry man at me, mate, arms crossed, glaring at me and waving your head about like some sort of cartoon bouncer...I know where the exits are mate, I know where the stairs are, don't need you bobbin' and twitchin' ya' head all-about the shop, tellin' me to 'just leave'...mate, you get back in ya' little box, back in ya' little Ivory Tower with all ya' little mates like Steve Perryman in there, and you have a good hard think about the next time you choose to step between me and Frank Morello when me and my mate Frank are discussing his explicit and highly profitable role in the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...stand there again, mate, and glare at me like that again, mate...

And even when I stated clearly to both Cr Lovett and Manager Serle (and Frank's departing back) that this was about Frank and St Martins and that Frank had just approached me and threatened 'defamation', etc, even when it was put to him in the moment, Cr Lovett continued this bizarre pseudo-bouncer nonsense, furiously glowering at me and gesturing to the stairs...mate, you know exactly what it's about and you're gunna' stand there and glare at me and try and intimidate me?...and how'd it work out for ya' Mark? big man on campus now? or an international laughing stock?...howdy to availees across the globe... 

And just for the record, my mate Mark makes me look relatively small, he's roughly 4-5" taller and easy 20kgs heavier, and tonight he did exactly what I would never do...(be so stupid as to step between you and Frank?-Ed)...what, I'm gunna' step between myself and Frank, how's that done then?...(well, you're always saying that you're beside yourself, so I just thought, maybe-Ed)...no, tonight Cr Lovett left the Chamber and came stood right in front of me and glared at me, arms crossed, etc, nodding stupidly toward the stairs, etc, and in doing so he crossed that line where-in he tried to intimidate me with his size...and I'm calling you out, mate, because whilst I wouldn't behave like that toward someone smaller, let alone in such an extraordinarily inappropriate way, and I genuinely consider that violence against another person is just wrong, I ain't takin' that crap from you you blustering buffoon...     

Step Up Mate:...'cos I am deadset sick and tired of you glaring at me at public functions, etc, and tonight you just stepped right across the line you yourself have drawn, and across every other line there is, and I'm right here waiting champ...(why not offer Mark the chance to appropriately take that big swing at you that he tries so hard to imply with his gutless glaring and pompous posturing?-Ed)...not with you mate...(well, he was trying to intimidate you with implied violence, right?-Ed)...sure, exactly that...(well then offer him the opportunity in a context that he simply cannot refuse-Ed)...being?...(a Celebrity Charity Boxing Night where-in various Councillors and other local illuminati step-up against suitably matched plebs in a well-regulated night of pugilistic pantomime and festive fisticuffs-Ed)...with all the proceeds to go to the Mayor's Christmas Fund?...(you are a quick learner-Ed)...so, a Charity Boxing fundraiser for the Mayor's Christmas Fund...(indeed, with Nick Fletcher vs Mark Lovett as the marquee event-Ed)...well it just so happens I am available that night, so pencil me in, I think I'll wear my White Hot Rage...

Ooo, and bags calling myself the Antipodean Killin' Machean (Machine), like the Killaroo from The Mighty Boosh comedy show...(what, wanted in 83 countries for chewin' a man's face clean off his skull?-Ed)...yeah, that's me, I've got moves...(dude! I've seen your moves, they're like being carressed with a natural yoghurt-Ed)...mate, I'm the man who put The Hurt in yoghurt...(the man who put the 'yoghurt' in 'you gonna' get hurt'-Ed)...cheers, thanks for the vote of confidence...(dude, what happened to Large Angry Hippy and tree-hugging and all that?-Ed)...well that's exactly the very sarcastic point I'm making here, because whilst I'm furious at Cr Lovett for this outrageously unacceptable behaviour and I am genuinely sick of his posturing and glaring, etc, I don't really know what he was trying to achieve this evening, because he and I both know nuthin's gunna' happen, it was just a ludicrous display that impressed no-one, and has only served to piss me right-off and make himself look foolish...

But even now, all you have to do is apologise Cr Lovett, get amongst it here on this 'ere blog what you claim not to read, get amongst it and achieve an understanding of just exactly what it is you're wading into when you step between me and Frank, just exactly how neck-deep you are in the St Martins Cover-up...    

Council Chambers Is A Small Car In A Circus:...from which the clowns just keep a-poppin'...sproing! out comes Mark McShane, all airs and graces, goin' the Full Pompous, all supposedly statesman-like and dripping real actual gravitas, it was everywhere, out he comes and he's seriously ushering Cr Lovett away and saying some crap to me I think about 'it's over and there's the door', but I'd stopped listening and was already turning to leave, whatevs...I'm not sure that Nick Serle actually said a word...(but you spelled-out the stuff about St Martins?-Ed)...well he was standing right there, and he must have heard the other stuff just previous as well, so, yeah...and I definitely stated that Frank approached me, etc, because it's something I've learned along the way about controlling the discussion and not wavering from important points and establishing facts, etc, so I stated to each one of them exactly what was happening, etc... 

Well, Well, Well, Well, Said The Man As He Dug Himself A Raft Of Holes:..."you're not well Nick, you're not well"...twice, so 'you're not well' four times...(not with you-Ed)...about half-way through this 'episode', that in it's entirety lasted only a few minutes, Frank sneeringly stated "you're not well Nick, you're not well" twice over...(sorry, is that a reference to your Mental Health stuff?-Ed)...well yeah, just said as a general term of abuse, just trying to goad me into an angry response, Frank's just the sort of sad individual who says stuff like that to people, just all of these things...(sorry, Frank actually abused you about your Mental Health stuff?-Ed)...oh yeah...(just exactly how stupid is this guy?-Ed)...I'm not sure Ed, I thought I knew, really I did, and then he just belittles my expectations with this extraordinary display...(but he knows exactly what's happened at St Martins and everything that has and/or hasn't ensued?-Ed)...yep...(and he's gunna' stand there shaking his head in denial of his explicit role, whilst abusing you about your Mental Health?-Ed)...well not quite simultaneously, but yep...

(Just so's I got this straight, he actually abused you, goaded you, about your Mental Health stuff?-Ed)...well he certainly tried, but what he actually achieved was just to demonstrate to me exactly how desperate and low a person he is, very low and extremely desperate...(well I was gunna' say, bailing you up like that, right there at Council, whether it was planned or not, and trying that stuff about 'you're not well', etc, those are clear indicators of a desperate man, and in this case, I'd suggest a desperate Council-Ed)...absolutely, which is why they behave the way they do, absolute desperation, and as I repeatedly stated in response to Frank, 'if it's defamation, sue me', and/or 'get your lawyer to write to me and tell me about it'...and this is how someone deliberately 'empty-threats' you by just saying defamation, and as has been done to me literally dozens of times now over this 'ere blog and/or the St Martins Child Abuse Cover-up stuff, they repeatedly screech 'defamation' and hope that you panic and fold...

And all you've done Frank is fire me up, stoke the furnaces of my incandescent rage, and show me in no uncertain terms just exactly what I am achieving with this 'ere blog...(one bit of it's quite funny really-Ed)...what is?...(well when they all came out the door, they got stuck there in the doorway because you didn't yield and they weren't gunna' push it, so there they are buzzin'-about in agitated circles like bumblin'-mumblin' bees in a bottle-Ed)...mmm, I only just thought of that and got you to write it...(I know that I'm only a confected literary device for creating discussion, doing jokes, etc, but sometimes I just feel so used-Ed)...be lost without you, seriously, most availees like your stuff more than my bits...

So tonight I had a cavalcade of clowns bouncin' all 'round like apoplectic cats makin' popcorn on a hot tin roof, and I don't care if it was planned or not, Frank tried to goad and provoke me, then 3 more clowns chose to involve themselves...and we all know each other and we all know what we're all about...well, ok, maybe Nick Serle doesn't know exactly, but him aside, we all know what we are all about, and this is how Cr Frank Morello, Cr Mark Lovett and CEO Mark McShane choose to behave...it is absolutely reprehensible behaviour...

And what does it say about these illustrious gentlemen that I can then hop onto this 'ere blog of mine and state with 100% certainty that the vast majority of availees will consider that my word is as good as the truth can be expected to be, and is most certainly the version to be most trusted...what does that say?...

Tomorrow: We Are So Doing This Again

So, there's no doubt in my mind that it was an absolute set-up to try and provoke and trap me, a pre-planned ambush instigated by Cr Morello to try and create some 'íncident' that would warrant Council banning me from meetings, etc, but as per usual it went horribly wrong, with Frank scurrying away behind others, others who could collectively summon the courage to mill-about in the doorway...if it wasn't so totally unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour from Mt Gambier City Council, it would be just hilarious...

Australia's 50% Divorce Rate, Now That's Marriage Equality

Just sayin'...(and really, it's all that really need be said-Ed)...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog where-in we support Equality, Fraternity, and Liberty for all...(and dismiss this Marriage Equality Postal Survey/Vote as an embarrassing and costly farce that demeans us all-Ed)...well quite...cheers and laters...

PS:...in the interests of balance, recent surveys have Oz's current Divorce Rate down to only 1 in 3 marriages, but I'm not sure if that's because there are more 'defacto' relationships, and/or more 'gay couples', or what exactly the criteria are...I'm assuming that it's a flat-rate relating to actual 'legal' marriages, whatevs, 33% still gives the 'Sanctimony of Matrimony' argument a fair whack...

Emergency Post Update Re Helpmann Theatre Fire Alarm

Dear Availees, I briefly apologise for the delay in addressing the alarm raised (pardon the pun) in that last post, but I've had a bit of a shock yesterday that effectively cost me a day, but I have managed to establish that there was a 'Fire Alarm Incident' at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre on Saturday 9th September 2017...

However, the fact that there was an 'Incident' does not strictly confirm the other details about some actual Alarms not working, a Fire Escape door (or even doors plural) being blocked by external scaffolding or something else, or the alleged disorganised and drawn-out evacuation with it's various complications...yes there was an 'Incident', but what I've heard/written about the details remains strictly hearsay until proven otherwise...I personally however, do absolutely believe the veracity of the sources of these specific claims, and therefore believe that the claims themselves, although potentially not 100% accurate in their detail, the claims do relate to actual events and/or actions, etc...

Regardless, that one deeply worrying 'Incident' aside, it's the ongoing concerns about the general Fire Safety and even the actual Structural Integrity of the Helpmann Theatre building that must be immediately addressed, and I therefore re-iterate my calls that the Helpmann Theatre/Civic Centre Complex be effectively quarantined/evacuated/whatevs until all of these deeply concerning issues are investigated thoroughly by the appropriate authorities...(and by 'appropriate authorities' we sure-as-shreck don't mean Mt Gambier City Council and/or anyone officially associated with it, or local Country Arts SA-Ed)...and in the person of Frank 'The Jellyfish That Grew A Spine And Roared Like A Mouse From it's Ivory Tower' Morello we have both...(ah yeah, Frank mate, CASA head honcho and a MGCC Councillor-Ed)...indeed...

It also remains my understanding, as fact, that staffers at or involved with MGCC and/or the Helpmann have been told/threatened to not discuss these Fire Safety issues, clearly indicating,
1)   that all concerned who make these decisions were already aware of the issues, and;
2)   they have knowingly and willingly acted to cover-up those issues, thusly:
3)   willingly and knowingly risking the lives of potentially hundreds of people.

If only half of what I believe to be true has actually happened, eg, these warnings/threats to staff about remaining silent, if that single point is true, then this is an absolute disgrace, even by Mt Gambier City Council's own Lofty Standards of Tardiness and Incompetence...(and it puts my mealy-mouthed mate Frank right in the frame-Ed)...oh absolutely, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy...but let's not lose sight of the fact that both MGCC and Country Arts SA are responsible here, it's just a happy coincidence that the rankly corrupt pro-paedophile Frank, mate, is jammed right between that particular rock and it's accompanying hard place...

As I understand it, what has been done to the Helpmann Theatre Flytower during these 'renovations' has drastically compromised both the Fire Rating/Safety and the Structural Integrity of the building, and in that context, no-one should be allowed anywhere in that complex...(particularly if there are Fire Alarms not working in some places!-Ed)...exactly, and MGCC has itself stated that there have been allegedly 'unforeseen complications with the Engineering and Load-Bearing issues for the scaffolding, etc, etc', and recently used this 'unforeseen-ness' as part of justifying throwing $400,000 more at the project...

Is it true that MGCC and CSA both are aware of these problems/dangers but have continued to allow both Council staff and members of the public to attend/access the building?...

Again, I can only express my concerns re this situation, and I will put them directly to MGCCouncil and CASA via email...(don't hold ya' breath-Ed)...I won't, I just want it on their record so that they know that people know they know, ya' know?...(fair enough, and it is a genuinely disturbing series of events/possibilities that must be addressed-Ed)...cheers...(and what's about that 'shock' that cost you a day?-Ed)...nah yeah, nearly pranged into a cop car yesterday, 'bout 20 minutes after I'd just finished that post...(well fair dues, but they nearly pranged into you if anything, and ultimately y'all stopped 8-10 feet apart-Ed)...sure, but it was truly unsettling, and left me nauseous and drained with the post-adrenalin rush crash, I was shot for the day...I'd had the double whammy of nearly colliding and then instantaneously realising that it was a cop car...

I was crawling very slowly along in my li'l car, first-gearing it through the very congested Toorak Tractor Canyon that erupts along the road outside a kindergarten just aways up the road from here...at certain times, the smallish street becomes hemmed in by lines of expensive 4WDs (Toorak Tractors) and I'm super-paranoid about kids running out, etc, so when it's busy like this and I have to go that direction, I literally crawl through in first gear...yesterday, another car came whizzing into the end of the street I was headed toward, and went close-by me at maybe 30kph, a lot to be doing in that very constricted space, right next to a kindy...anyhoos, as I neared the corner another car whizzed 'round, causing me to swerve slightly left and jam on the brakes...and it was a cop car...

In Oz we drive on the left...(mostly-Ed)...so with those angles from the driver's seat, etc, that cop car driver person could see my bonnet long before I saw them at all, and they were only travelling at probably 25kph, even less as they 'rounded said corner, and so the cops were clearly not going to hit me, but that's all well and groovy with hindsight 'cos in the moment I had the dual-shock of 1) looking straight-up the bonnet of that cop car thinking I was about to get cleaned-up, and 2) by a cop car...(yay-Ed)...anyhoos, as I say, with the benefit of hindsight I can see that I did over-react a bit, but it genuinely rattled me in the moment, I did the whole 'Adrenalin Rush Rollercoaster' straight to Nausea City, where I remained for the rest of the day...

Tomorrow: Not Actually Sure Yet

Also, I have started yet another blog dedicated to certain 'Comments' left on this 'ere blog by some anonymous half-wit aways back in August 2013...in homage, I've called this new blog Nurse, Fetch The Dick Stretcher, and I've just posted the first Intro post so's please to be checking it out at your leisure...I'm also slowly getting some other stuff onto these other new blogs and will start posting properly asap, so please bear with me and we'll both get there eventually...   

I am Nick Fletcher and this is one of my blogs...cheers and laters...

EMERGENCY POST - FIRE WARNING for Helpmann Theatre

WARNING   WARNING   WARNING   

Dear Availees,
                    I do not apologise for the tone of this short post, because, if what I understand to have happened recently at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre did actually happen, it's an absolute scandal, and a potentially deadly scandal still very much happening as we speak.

Since it was announced, I have heard various concerns about the Helpmann Theatre renovations, but only this week I have been repeatedly ask-informed* about a recent Fire Alarm Incident at the Helpmann Theatre, where-in allegedly, 1) several Fire Alarms did not function, and 2) Fire Escape doors were found to be blocked by scaffolding supports (are still?), and 3) staff/officials initially failed to evacuate correctly, having to be convinced by others present?     
    (*ask/informed - when someone says, 'hey, did you hear about such-and-such?', but you haven't, so they're informing you about it by asking you about it)

Is this true? Have Mt Gambier City Council and Country Arts SA and Dycer Constructions blocked Fire Escapes in the Helpmann Theatre with scaffolding supports, etc?

Why didn't Fire Alarms sound at the rear of the theatre (dressing rooms, etc)? Have MGCC/CASA/Dycer deliberately disconnected those alarms or is it an accident? Whatevs, at least one but allegedly several Fire Alarms did not work and those people at the rear of the building heard nothing and were entirely unaware of any 'situation' until someone went to fetch them...  

It has been put to me that all senior officials involved with MGCC/CASA/Dycer have been aware of at least some of these issues for some time, eg, the rankly pro-paedophile corrupt former The Border Watch Editor Frank 'The Jellyfish That Grew A Spine And Roared Like A Mouse From It's Ivory Tower' Morello, richly rewarded for his Paedophile Corruption by being given the plum job with Country Arts SA...(just another stunning example or the Pro-Paedophile Crew Nepotism that sees rankly inept but rankly corrupt Labor Pro-Paedophile stooges appointed to high-paying positions far beyond anything they're actually qualified for and/or have earned-Ed)...exactly Ed, Frank Morello, the perfect illustration of what any talentless, spineless hack can achieve when prepared to partake of the fruits of the Pro-paedophile Corruption that defines good ol' SA, the Paedophile State...

Frank Morello, CASA Manager at the Helpmann and also a Mt Gambier City Councillor, has apparently been aware of at least some of these issues prior to this 'Incident', eg, that Fire Escape doors are blocked by scaffolding...

And this is the main issue with the rank pro-paedophile corruption that defines Mt Gambier's Politicians/Council/Polite Society, namely, these stooges will lie/cheat/steal/whatevs to get what they want for themselves, and that includes deliberately covering-up anything that might possibly be their responsibility and/or to their own specific detriment, eg, MGCC/CASA/Dycer must be aware of these issues re blocking Fire Escapes yet they've done it apparently...

This corruption leads people to make woefully corrupted decisions, eg, not notify the relevant authorities/patrons/public/whatevs and continue-on as though there's no problem, eg, continue to hold functions in what authorities know to be a potential death-trap, etc...

Human history is littered with such 'disasters'...

Obviously I will try to address this very concerning situation, not least of all because the Helpmann complex now houses MGCC offices and those people are going into work in what appears to be a bonfire waiting to happen...  

There are also multiple concerns about the entire integrity of the Helpmann complex now that many tons of 'cladding' have been added to the exterior...(not the same 'cladding' that's under question across the country re it's Fire Vulnerability and that terrible Grenfell Tower fire?-Ed)...not sure, but it's certainly the same structural issue, namely, creating a massive 'flue' up the outside of the building...beyond that, MGCC/Dycer have themselves just cited 'Unforeseen Engineering Complications' in making a massive cost increase on the project, jumping from an alleged $900,000 to over $1.4million...

Even when corruptly stacking Ratepayer's cash into each other's pockets, again, these clowns cite their own incompetence, their own alleged failures to do even the most basic Engineering requisites, their incompetence is their reasonable justification to just take more money...(well it's only not their money to start with-Ed)...indeed Ed, every cent spent is Ratepayer's cash, every bloody cent...

There are also concerns re Fire Safety due to the massive holes punched through the walls and roof/ceiling of the Helpmann building to allow scaffolding, etc...has this completely compromised the 'Fire Integrity' of the entire building?...(what, because they've created a giant chimney riddled with umpteen draft/draw holes to allow maximum Oxygenation of any internal blaze and for any external fire to be sucked into the building?-Ed)...indeed Ed, let's just stop a moment and think about that...

Picture an ol' 44galon drum modified to be a wood burner, because that's almost exactly what has been done to the Helpmann...a potentially highly flammable flue up the outside of the Flytower, and holes punched all through it for excellent aspiration of any fire that does occur, inside or outside...

How can this be an accidental incompetence, you literally couldn't make the situation more dangerous...put holes through the structure that completely compromise any prior official Fire Rating/Approvals/whatevs, and whack a possibly flammable flue-up the outside...it's absolute lunacy, yet it appears to be exactly what Dycer/MGCC/CASA have deliberately done...(absolute lunacy? it's almost like they want it to burn down-Ed)...almost Ed, almost...  

Is it further alleged to me that Country Arts SA staff/personnel are aware of many of these issues, but have been 'ordered' to remain silent, particularly on this specific Fire Alarm Incident...is this true?...would not surprise me in the least, and this is the concerns about rank corruption that I expressed before...Frank Morello and Mark McShane and Dycers and MGCC/Silvy/Humphries/Sexton/whoevs/whatevs, they all likely know exactly what the problems are and they will all likely act to cover it up regardless... 

I will endeavour to address and/or establish the veracity of these issues first thing today and will get back here on this 'ere blog asap...however, in the interim, if you have family/friends working in the Helpmann with Country Arts SA or MGCC, whatevs, or are planning to attend an event, whatevs, I'd be acting with the utmost caution and certainly contacting all involved, MGCC/CASA/Dycer re this 'Incident'...just don't expect the Truth for an answer...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...I genuinely hope to be absolutely wrong about every aspect of this 'ere post, but I don't think I am, unfortunately...cheers and laters...

Dropping Down Some Catching-up

Howdy Switzerland, Portugal, your neighbour Spain, and our very own neighbour, Indonesia...oh and yes, hello Aotearoa (New Zealand) you're our neighbour too...there's only one thing standing between me and what I hope to achieve with this 'ere blog...(reality?-Ed)...only two things standing between me and what I hope to achieve with this 'ere blog...(ability?-Ed)...only three things standing...(ignorance?-Ed).........after overcoming several minor hurdles, I fully intend to continue to extend and expand this 'ere blog into several parallel blog pages, and to that end have already set-up several, as identified above...haven't yet properly started on those blogs, but we're getting there, cheers...now, to the news...

The front page of The Border Watch newspaper (24th August 2017) had my mate Tony Pasin leer-grinning unsettlingly as he clutched some alleged Italian Consulate documents allegedly proving his alleged non-Dual Citizenship...Tony is of course the sitting Liberal Member for the Federal seat of Barker, where it is I also done sit, and he has apparently been 'listed' as being yet another Federal MP who potentially has Dual Citizenship, be it due to their own birthplace elsewhere, eg, Aotearoa, or their parent's nationality, eg, Aotearoa again, etc, etc...please see previous post...and if that whole farce wasn't funny enough for you, then Friday it's a timely warning from TBW about the cavalcade of rankly corrupt Labor stooges who are going to crawl outta' the woodwork as we plow toward the March 2018 Sow Strayn' Election...

In what can only be described as a blizzard of mediocrity, prospective Liberal candidates have been dropping outta' the trees, along with a scornful surge of rank Labor stooges masquerading as supposedly 'Independent' candidates...on page 2, readers are unceremoniously accosted with a long list of said prospective Liberal candidates...(it's whom I'm not seeing named that really concerns me-Ed)...well indeed, in that context it's exactly like the rankly corrupted self-appointed Tourism Mount Gambier/Chamber of Commerce/Mt Gambier City Council*, where-in certain rankly corrupt local politicians were originally named as being involved, namely the rankly pro-paedophile Rory McEwen and equally corrupt former MGC Councillor Biddie (Tietz) Shearing...(have we covered the extraordinarily rank pro-paedophile corruption/conduct of former MGCC Mayor and current Councillor Steve Perryman?-Ed)...well yes of course, apart from his complicitly corrupt collusion in the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, there is Stevo mate's...(maaate-Ed)...li'l performance in that MGCC Budget meeting back last year...

During the 'Out of Formal Proceedings' chit-chat part of Budget discussions, Stevo mate...(maaate-Ed)...took a massive dump on Local Government Conflict of Interest provisions by openly attacking various Budget areas in a bigotted rant against disabled people and plants...(o', he's havin' a go at the flowers now!-Ed)...and what do we call such pig-ignorant bigotry from such a smug squat pig of a human being?...(ummm, 'Pigotry'?-Ed)...now who's the Monkey Genius?...Pigotry:- Pig-Ignorant Bigotry...when MGC Councillor Stevo, also then Chair of the self-appointed Tourism Mount Gambier, when Stevo mate...(maaate-Ed)... railed against maintaining footpaths he actually whinged about disabled people and how he was "sick of political correctness"...(well if anyone knows how to be politically incorrect-Ed)...not difficult in South Australia Ed, just be pro-paedophile and you're golden mate, you can be just exactly as politically incorrect as you shreckin' like...so Stevo led the charge to cut services to free-up funds for TMG, then when it came to the vote in 'Formal Proceedings' immediately following, he got up and walked out, citing his Conflict of Interest...(wow-Ed)...

No really though, I have to sit there in silence and listen to and watch that smug, pro-paedophile corrupt crook just slander and abuse disabled people, that's bad enough on two fronts...(not least of all the staying silent bit-Ed)...indeed, but one word-out-loud from me, and that's all the justification these pricks need to chuck me out of meetings, perhaps with Restraining Orders as they've done to others...(really?-Ed)...oh yeah...(so when that prick Councillor Ian Von Stanke came to your house back in April 2011 and left that 'defamation-threatening' letter, and MGCC CEOs Greg Muller and Mark McShane took years to eventually just dismiss it all, etc, etc, why can't you get a restraining Order against Von Stanke?-Ed)...nah, no need mate, I've told him...(I bet-Ed)...in every circumstance I am absolutely gentle and forever forgiving, you know I am...(sure, brutally loyal and gentle to the very edge of cowardice-Ed)...indeed, cheers, but Ian knows that if he comes near my home again and/or poses any sort of threat to me or mine, then in that certain circumstance, when backed into that corner, then I will not just go about my own business, I will surely go about his in no uncertain terms...(and those are your terms?-Ed)...not 'terms' Ed, just reality... 

Also, I note that MGCC continues to pour $$$millions into it's mate's pockets via the lunatic Paving Program around town...$$$millions on pointless paving works that actually succeed in making the town look worse, well done MGCC...but then again, it ain't genuinely about the aesthetic or the vibe or the shreckin' whatevs, it's 100% about creating fake works to 'justify' tipping money into each other's pockets...and it ain't just my shreckin' opinion, just go and have a look at the horrendous grey concrete pavers along Commercial St West...stained and chipped comin'-off the pallet, deadset looking exactly like second hand pavers, recycled from gourd knows where, but First Rate Crap...the whole Main St precinct is an embarrassing, grey, chipped, stained disgrace...what a mess but I do digress, so...     

*Making A Multi Meal Of Things:...and I refer to this robustly self-important TMG/CoC/MGCC group thusly, as a Combo/Multi/Montage sortta' thing, as being one-and-the-same, as being indistinguishable as separate entities, and for various reasons...1) that's the reality, Tourism Mount Gambier is funded by Ratepayers, via MGC Council, 2) TMG, as funded by MGCC, is 'incorporated' into the Chamber of Commerce, specifically to avoid having to pay any separate taxes, etc, and 3) I have heard multiple instances of those associated with these groups referring to each other's stuff as "us", eg, referring to this new TMG as though it were actually part of Council...

I still intermittently talk to some 'Tourism Providers', be that accommodation and associated services, tour operators, etc, and a number of these people are still saying that they haven't even spoken to let-alone met/seen the new $200,000pa 'Tourism Development Officer' employed by TMG/CoC/MGCC...this TMG Tourism Development officer position is like so many positions in the vastly bloated bureaucracy that is MGCC, a wholly redundant excuse to employ someone...I cannot and/or will not identify exactly what's been said to me about the latest round of employing 'mates', but the vastly bloated corporate structure of MGCC is undeniable and needs no further explanation...I've heard all sorts about who's mate is who's, and how so-and-so got such-and-such job, whatevs, there's literally a dozen superfluous and highly paid positions, and it's just Corrupt Politics 101, Creating An Upward Vacuum For Corrupt Conduct, namely, create a very profitable and alluring corporate environment based not on Merit but on Personal Profit, a self-perpetuating structure that attracts and then employs corrupt and/or corruptable people... 

The entire TMG/CoC/MGCC set-up is a rankly corrupt construct to further legitimise the institutionalised theft of Ratepayer's money by our rankly corrupt pro-paedophile Council and it's assorted acolytes and sundry stooges...(I wonder what the Tax Office thinks of TMG setting itself up as part of the Chamber of Commerce to avoid taxes, etc?-Ed)...gourd knows, don't care, it's so definably corrupt just in it's formation that it doesn't need to actually do anything to be corrupt...(well that's my next point, what have they done?-Ed)...my next point also, and again requiring nearly a full post it's own...ironic really that achieving sweet bugger-all takes a whole post, but that's some very thorough SBA they've been workin' on...I promise to tie this all together next post re Lee, ICAC, TMG/CoC/MGCC, etc, et al...elsewhere but still here...

Ring Withdrawal Symptoms:...are as described, and as experienced by MGC Councillor Christian Greco when he recently apparently whipped his ring right back outta' the Mad Hatter's Tea Party that is this Liberal pre-selection...(whaaa?-Ed)...well apparently Cr Greco had self-nominated for the now vacant Liberal pre-selection, given that Troy Bell is currently an 'Independent', due to those ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) charges, etc, etc, please see recent posts...anyhoos, apparently Cr Greco was in but now he's out...(mmm, isn't the saying 'hat into the ring', not as you have it, 'ring into the hat'?-Ed)...orrr whatevs!...and in the time it takes to not cover this stuff, a coupla' other named potential prospects have un-named or de-listed or un-ringed themselves, whatevs...(sweet baby cheeses! they're in, they're out, are they soon to be shaking it all about?-Ed)...probably, and why not?...will look a bit deeper at this stuff another time... 

In Closing:...and remember dear availees, MGCC has only recently (late 2016) voted to reduce it's actual representation of Ratepayers interests by voting to reduce it's Membership from 10 Councillors down to only 8, based on 'a single submission' and justified as 'saving money for other projects'...(but MGCC still has plenty of Ratepayer's cash to jet-off to China with I hope-Ed)...certainly do Ed, going again next month I believe...(and are the rankly corrupt Mayor Andrew Lee and CEO Mark McShane going along to further their own personal extensive Chinese business connections?-Ed)...and a lovely segue Ed, straight back to the rank pro-paedophile corruption of the Mt Gambier City Council and the SA Labor governement and our own very, very special, my new bestie and in his spare time also ICAC Commissioner, the one, the only, ladies and genteel men, please to be putting them together and then taking them apart again, rapidly and repeatedly, it's Mr Bruce 'Comedy Roadshow' Lander...(yay-Ed)...strewth Ed, try to curb ya' enthusiasm mate will ya', you'll do ya'self a mischief...(well I mean seriously-Ed)...yeah, I know, I know...

What's happened to that extraordinarily bizarre illegal and openly corrupt MGCC meeting back on January 31st 2017?...(the one where-in MGCC supposedly voted in secret about whether or not to send Mayor Andrew Lee's definable corruption to the ICAC?-Ed)...yeah, that's the one...this one is so complicated it will require a full post all it's own, again, as will the rank pro-paedophile corruption of Labor's Viv and Jim Maher and their Labor Minister son Kyam Maher...(you're looking a tad angry there mate?-Ed)...my mate Kyam, Kyam who refuses to make eye contact with me at public functions, my mate Kyam was on ABC South East Radio this morning mouthing-off moronically about the Member for Mt Gambier, Troy Bell...(and didn't the rankly pro-paedophile Premier of our charming li'l State, didn't Jay 'The Shiny Man' Weatherill write into The Border Watch, also attacking Troy?-Ed)...indeed, and two words, gutless prick...(only two words?-Ed)...well the 'corrupt' is just a given...(fair enough-Ed)...

Dear Gutless Corrupt Prick Jay Weatherill:...come to Mt Gambier you gutless pro-paedophile scumbag and face me and a coupla' other fathers re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, and we'll see how ya' fare with that, mate...in fact, Language Warning, fuck that, forget the other fathers, not my place to place them anywhere...(even if it's somewhere you know they'd love to be?-Ed)...good point, but still not my place, and besides, I dare you Jay, mate, to front just li'l ol' me, just li'l ol' Nick Fletcher, poor ol' fucked-up delusional troublemaker Nick Fletcher...End Language Warning...face me, and bring all your lawyers and your media managers, bring ya' shreckin' SAPol Commissioner Grant Stevens and Comm Lander, et al, you bring everything you've got, mate, and we'll set-down opposite each other and we'll see just how smug you are then, mate...ask my other mate SAPol Head of Prosecutions Andrew Paesch how he went trying to eyeball me that time in Court aways back in September 2016...(geez you got a lotta' mates-Ed)...whatevs... 

Tomorrow: My Court Stuff

Have occasionally chastised myself for highlighting certain aspects of the way that the Mt Gambier 'media' report stuff about me, particularly re my Court stuff...(oh, you mean like when they refer to you as Nicholas 'Nick' Francis Fletcher, thusly making your name, 'Nick', a criminal alias?-Ed)...yep, exactly like that...(or label you as "notorious" and/or "controversial"?-Ed)...yeah, all of that...(I thought you took a certain twisted pride in that stuff, ya' know, the lengths these people will go to to try and belittle and/or mock and/or demonise you?-Ed)...oh for sure mate, absolutely I do take pride in the explicitly complicit efforts of all-and-sundry to portray me in a derogatory and dismissive manner, and that's why I kick myself a bit for jumping on those things, these 'labels', because every time I celebrate some new nomenclature, some new 'notoriety', they take it away again...(well you shan't be allowed to have nice things-Ed)...orr-or-orrrrr...(what I find particularly amusing, is how those abusing you continually fail so spectacularly in their efforts-Ed)...indeed...(despite how much they have to work with-Ed)...charming, but you're right...

Given that I've openly discussed my own chequered history as a vain, arrogant, drug-fuelled, womanising Man-Bear Stuff-Pig wholly taken with the wonder of his own opinion...(history?-Ed)...and what I've suffered through in terms of Mental Health, particularly re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, etc, etc, all of that stuff...(that is quite a lot of stuff you've got there-Ed)...indeed, given that I've openly discussed myself in terms of being a very fractured and even f***ed-up person, etc, etc, given all of that, what does it say about some of these other people whom would sit in judgement of me and attack me and denigrate me, yet fail so spectacularly...look at the quite extraordinary way that the Mt Gambier media quite deliberately report stuff about me, across a range of issues...(with hilarious results-Ed)...I believe that it's called Irony... 

1) These attacks have only further strengthened my position/credibility as being someone worthy of the ire of the Labor government, the ICAC, SAPol (police)...(you've got your own SAPol 'Operation Baritone'-Ed)...well it's either ICAC or SAPol Anti-Corruption Branch, whatevs, but yes, I am indeed the sole subject of 'Operation Baritone'...(wow, you are the subject of your very own 'Operation'-Ed)...yeah, but it's more an indication of the official corruption involved, not a true measure of how 'important' I am as an individual...(yeah, but still, 'Operation Baritone'-Ed)...fair enough, whatevs, all this, what I has labelled the Pro-Paedophile Political Persecution of Nick Fletcher, has given me massive credibility...
2)...this 'credibility' has been further enhanced by the bizarre and ongoing lengthy prosecution, the PPPPofNF if you will, in the Magistrates Court, now well over 2 and a half years...
3)...and the rancidly biased and deliberately derogatory 'reportage' of this stuff by TBW and/or the ABC, that just amply amplifies the seriousness and readily reinforces that credibility...
4)   and of course, there's only one thing worse than being talked about...(not being talked about?-Ed)...that's the one, and every time I get reported somewhere, it only broadens the scope and reach of this 'ere blog and/or me...

Many A Blue Word Spoken In Jest:...as the f*** word seems to be slipping slowly into mainstream humour, eg, not infrequently on the very mainstream ABC Shaun Micallef show, Mad As Hell...(isn't it considered a cheap comedic trick to use expletives and/or abuse in place of actual humour, ie, if you can't think of an actually witty line, just swear?-Ed)...f***-off...(ahahahaahahhaaahhhaaa, aghhh, dickhead-Ed)...but there are some reasonable applications...(do tell dear heart-Ed)...well if one may be so gauche as to quote oneself, when that clown was leaving full-on abusive comments on this 'ere blog's Comments Page back in August 2013 and I responded with that witty bit about the power of simple words, literally illustrated with my fake-report about how the 'Commenters' own loutish behaviour Comments-wise had caused one of their own mates to out-them, leading to the line 'who's in the shadows now dickhead?'...(classic-Ed)...I'm quite proud of that one...  

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...and I try to avoid/censor personal abuse, etc, but I'm only a very, very angry man, and at least I'm trying...cheers and laters

No Room For Lee Way But The Entire Entirely Corrupt Mt Gambier City Council Must Resign

***dear availees, howdy, here's another part-finished post from about 5 weeks ago...I've tried to tidy it up a bit, so hope it makes sense, cheers, Nick***

Hello to y'all in Lebanon, Brazil, Indonesia, and Ukraine, and also to y'all else...and working on the theme of recent posts, here's some more tidying-up of some stuff, and another topic I've been aware of but unable to use/post because of the sensitive nature of the issue and/or it's someone elses stuff...(you mean like that stuff where you don't really want to go near any jazz stuff because of how important it is to Mt Gambier, etc, but people come to you asking about it anyway, as we covered a coupla' posts back and are only fleetingly mentioning again here, for the reasons just mentioned-Ed)...well indeed Ed, but now, as with that, the issue has become public knowledge...(and the issue is?-Ed)...that Mt Gambier Mayor Andrew Lee owes a builder for works already completed, and has been Ordered to pay said builder nearly $70,000...

But First, To Court, Again, Eventually:...because my Court case re my alleged crime of allegedly breaching the undefinable Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 2012, section 56, (a) and/or (b)...(you bastard!-Ed)...apparently...anyhoos, my Trial process, which began in February 2015...(albeit without you actually being Charged or even Summonsed to the hearing-Ed)...indeed, and still waiting for an actual formal explanation from SAPol (police) for these extraordinary failures thanks very much, but anyhoos, starting in February 2015 and plowing-on regardless for 27+ hearing dates, 4 days of 'actual Trial', and 15 whole days of 'Vacated Trial Dates'...(whaaa? 'VTDs'?-Ed)...yeah, dates set-down for further Trial days, eg, the 5 days we were meant to be having in August 2017 that have now been 'vacated' for 4 days in October...(which have now also been 'vacated'?-Ed)...exactly...(but I...it...there's...mate, I don't even know what question to ask-Ed)...let me help you there mate...

Question One:...is why, why have the 5 days set-down in August been 'vacated/abandoned'?...(what about the 4 Trial days from May?-Ed)..well that was the hearing on May 1st 2017 and the stuff where the SAPol Chief Investigator was taken ill until at least August 2017, etc, and then the next week Magistrate White was unwell and the whole shebang was moved to 5 days in August, remember, via that phonecall with that other Magistrate in Adelaide...(sure, but that was May, what's happened now?-Ed)...well, I received another coupla' phone calls on Monday 17th July from the Mt Gambier Courthouse re my case having to be moved again, and could I please pop-by on Wednesday for another Audio/Video link-up hearing with Magistrate White...(and?-Ed)...and from there it gets even more complicated, complicated enough to warrant an entire post to itself...(orrr, no fair-Ed)...ok ok, well the upshot of it is, is that the Trial was moved to 4 days in October 2017, but that's now been moved again already to possibly November...(sorry, is that October or November?-Ed)...yes...(yes?-Ed)...both, it was October and now might be November...(but...-Ed)...tomorrow mate, tomorrow...(gnorrrr-Ed)...alright, alright look, here's the bit from The Border Watch from page 2, Thursday 20th July 2017;
     Fletcher's fate to be decided 
     at October court proceedings 
     The fate of controversial online blogger,
     Nick Fletcher, 50, will not be determined
     until October following a short hearing in the
     Adelaide Magistrate's Court yesterday.
     Fletcher's part-heard trial, which started
     in the Mount Gambier Magistrates Court
     in March this year, will continue before
     Magistrate Ian White on October 3 with four
     days set aside for it's completion.
     The online commentator is facing 18
     charges of publishing information about a
     person subject to complaint.
     When October arrives, Fletcher would
     have been before the court in relation to
     these charges for over two and a half years.

As set-out under the heading IN BRIEF top corner of page 2...(but this is wrong in so many ways-Ed)...what can I tell ya'...(and how the shreck does TBW know what happened in that Court room if they weren't actually present?!-Ed)...well indeed, unless they've somehow again snuck catlike into the otherwise empty room without me noticing...(and then flat-strap cat-flapped it outta' there again!-Ed)...indeed, and then left again, again without me noticing, 'cos the only people in that room were me, the 2 Court security/Sherriffs dudes, and the SAPol Prosecutor I thought had been promoted to SAPol Media Announcer but hasn't...(no?-Ed)...no, apparently two officers with near identical names...(well there you go-Ed)...and that SAPol Prosecutor was sat up the back near the 2 Sherriffs, not actually involved in my hearing at all...Magistrate White was in a Court in Adelaide and I think SAPol Prosecution's Batten was with him, but it was just the four of us down our way...(and that's old news anyway because now those October dates have been 'vacated' and potentially moved to November?-Ed)...you'll be the first to know...moving on...

No Room For Lee Way:...and I immediately apologise for opening with an apology for not being entirely sure what's happening right now with this, but I'm not entirely sure exactly where this is at right now, and I do like to be at least fairly certain, so here goes...my confusion stems from apparently contradictory reporting, again, where-in one instance Mayor Lee himself was on the ABC South East Radio stating that he wouldn't comment because he wanted to 'leave it to the Court to decide', etc, but it looks to be at the same time that elsewhere it was being reported that that Court decision had already just happened...sorry, can't quite nail-down this timeline, and y'all know the problems we all share in looking at 'reporting' and trying to figure out what's true and what's carefully been left-out deliberately, etc, etc...(and again there's no better example than the Mt Gambier media's deeply biased and skewed reporting of your Court case-Ed)...well indeed, but as with that, the overall issue here defines itself...

It is being reported that Mayor Lee has had 'property frozen re an Order by the Court to pay the debt of $68,000 to a Mt Gambier builder'...I've tried briefly to re-establish the timeline of events and reporting, etc, but again it proves incredibly difficult because y'all are dealing with grossly inaccurate and deeply, corruptly 'agendaed' conduct of the mainstream Mt Gambier media, namely, The Border Watch and the ABC South East Radio...TBW is stating that they have exposed this story/issue, and on the ABC SE Radio Mayor Lee refused to comment other than his usual unintelligible drivel about his honesty and how he's gunna' 'let the Courts decide'...(but I thought you just said the Court had decided already, that's the stuff about having the property 'frozen'?-Ed)...indeed, and hence the Order to repay that, and hence my confusion where on one hand it's been apparently decided but Mayor Lee is saying he'll let the Court decide...whatevs, shonky timing of potentially deceitful comments by Mayor Lee, etc, all that aside, it's the conduct itself...   

(Is it just me, or do none of these reports mention Mayor Andy's rankly corrupt Winery Purchase as organised during that Ratepayer funded trip to China-Ed)...well spotted Ed, and it's either good ol' TBW carefully editing the news to suit their own and/or Council's agenda, again...(mate, just point-out when TBW doesn't censor and/or edit the news so-as to suit their own wants/needs, that'll be quicker-Ed)...fair point Ed, but it's either that or it's just sloppy reporting...(there is a third option-Ed)...do tell...(well it might be that Council actually has made some sort of report to the SA version of an Independent Commission Against Corruption and therefore the issue has been suppressed because of our ICAC's deeply corrupted secrecy provisions/attitudes/actions, etc, etc-Ed)...well I suppose that that's possible, but it doesn't seem likely, far more likely nothing's happening re that Winery Corruption...(yeah, fair enough-Ed)...  

And again, Mt Gambier City Council has stated in their May 2014 Full Meeting and as reported in their Minutes for said meeting, has stated on the Public Record, MGCC has stated on the Public Record that they have been investigated by ICAC and duly exonerated...I have never seen or heard this mentioned anywhere in the Mt Gambier and/or SA and/or national media, not nowhere...(other than here on TMGI-Ed)...well obviously here at TMGI, it was TMGI apparently what done cause all this shenaniganising in the first place...(unless of course there happens to have been 2 parallel but concurrent ICAC investigations of MGCC-Ed)...again, doesn't seem likely...(true, but why would everyone involved ignore such a monumental investigation/outcome-Ed)...perhaps it's got something to do with ICAC's August 2016 response to the Court-Ordered Summons I successfully argued for back in June 2016...(you mean when the ICAC representative stated in Court that 'it's irrelevant whether there's been an investigation or not because you're charged with identifying a person subject of a complaint, not whether there was an investigation or not', etc, etc, all that shizzle-Ed)...indeed Ed, all that, all that shizzle from ICAC, from our ICAC as they went on their way to providing not one single document...(not one?-Ed)...not one document/memo/email/whatevs, arguing that the Summons was "oppressive" and  "fishing for information"...(not one document?-Ed)...not one...(wow-Ed)...

***with all this goin' on, y'all will appreciate the trouble I'm having trying to get any of it properly nailed-down***  

In Closing:...2 mornings ago (***weeks ago now), SA Greens leader Mark Parnell was on ABC Radio stating that it would be a great idea for the 'Renewables' obsessed Weatherill/Labor government to whack Solar Panels on the roof of every Housing Trust (Housing SA, public housing) property, because it would greatly reduce energy costs for the low income tenants, and in peak production periods would generate the extra-capacity for feeding-back into the National Grid, etc, which would profit SA because of 'feed-back rebates', etc...(two things, 1) would it generate income for SA via 'rebates', if those Rebates are paid by the state government?-Ed)...mmm, good point...(and 2) didn't we just cover that stuff only a coupla' posts back?-Ed)...indeed we did Ed, and it is surely one heck of a coincidence, but back to your first point, even if it's Zero Net Gain re the Rebates because the state government is funding them, overall there is a profit for SA because Solar Panels supposedly pay for themselves over time, hence no cost to SA, but they will produce 'Saleable Excess Energy'...

It is likely coincidence that such an obviously good idea would be promoted by differing people/groups...(even in such a tight time frame?-Ed)...sure, whatevs, maybe someone on his staff knows someone who reads TMGI and happened to mention it, and they mentioned it to Mark and he unwittingly is quoting this ' ere blog, etc, etc, whatevs...the issue is that the issue itself is self-evidently a great idea that begs the question, why not?...(and further questions like, 'why not already? why not 10 years ago? what cost to SA re Labor's failure to follow their own lunatic obsession with their own Renewables At Any Cost ideology?-Ed)...indeed Ed, many questions about 'why not?', and indeed, why not do it now?...(I thought you said it was because SA Labor is quietly dismantling the Housing Trust?-Ed)...indeed Ed, I do believe that this is happening, but it's for another post another time......

Tomorrow: Court Stuff

And like the good rats they are, MGCC Councillors are apparently furiously distancing themselves from Mayor Andy...I've heard several recent accounts of what Councillors have been saying re shifting all the blame onto Mayor Lee, and how they (Councillors) have warned people about him and/or have tried to stop him, and 'poor old CEO Mark McShane' who has supposedly also been fooled by alleged Master Manipulator Andy Lee, etc, etc...(what? that's bollocks! McShenanigans is as rankly corrupt as any other stooge on Council, and further more, he was employed to the CEO position because he's corrupt and MGCC needed a fundamentally corrupt person for that position because MGCC needed to engage someone who would willingly continue the relentless rorting/robbery of Ratepayers as overseen/conducted by former CEO Greg Muller!-Ed)...well indeed Ed, indeed...(and these Criticising Councillors, don't suppose any of them have recently been to China on one of the two Ratepayer funded junkets?-Ed)...probably, and/or have just received MGCC contracts for their family and/or friends, etc, etc... 

(And where is that other rankly corrupt stooge and former MGCC CEO Greg Muller?-Ed)...dunno', living in his Ratepayer funded holiday home at Robe probably, he's still involved with a coupla' local boards, etc...whatevs... 

Just couldn't bring myself to watch that drooling lipless stuff-pig, former South Australian Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Pallaras, who was on telly this week re a Cold Case murder...DPP Pallaras, just another sickeningly, rankly corrupt pro-paedophile stooge employed by the rankly pro-paedophile corrupt Mike Rann/Jay Weatherill Labor government...good old SA, just can't get enough of hiring corrupt pro-paedophile Public Servants...good ol' Stephen has been (was) repeatedly and intimately informed by parents re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up, and on one occasion specifically identified some of those abuses being committed by teacher Glyn Dorling against the 7 year olds in his care at St Martins as being "at the very least Assault"...again, former DPP Steven Pallaras stated directly to a parent that what the parent described was "Assault", assault of 7 year old students by their 50 year old teacher...(so what did Stevo do?-Ed)...nothing, turned his back on it, on us, on our children...gutless, corrupt prick...

DPP Stephen Pallaras, just another rankly corrupt pro-paedophile South Australian Public Servant... 

***and that's sort-of where I got to, so's there was more done than I remember, and here's a coupla' quick points about a small town...recently was walking down The Main (street, Commercial St West), and saw a couple walking toward me...as is my gentle way, I moved right to the left...('right to the left?'-Ed)...and as I did, we closed close enough to recognise each other, it was a senior Lutheran couple...his face immediately knotted in displeasure and he became instantly fascinated by the shop displays, staring angrily into the windows, but Mrs Senior Lutheran was smiling at me...we passed with Mr SL glaringly refusing to acknowledge my presence, but Mrs SL said "hello"...(you sexy beast-Ed)...nooo, you idiot, not like that...(no? then whaaa?!-Ed)...like she's a decent person who knows exactly what drives me and why it is I behave the way I do, etc, re the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up...

This was a short, sharp reminder for me that not every Lutheran is a complete shreckin' areshole...Mr SL didn't even have the courage of the conviction of his own bigotry and ignorance, but Mrs SL wasn't at all confronted by me...(one of these people has a guilty conscience, the other doesn't-Ed)...well exactly, and to the extent that one's behaviour has drastically highlighted the other's...this l'il encounter occurred several weeks before I had that other polite reminder about 'head-kicking'...(the one with the ABC person at Troy Bell's recent Court hearing?-ed)...yeah, that one...

In actually closing, I just re-iterate my opening point that the entire Mt Gambier City Council is absolutely complicit in the conduct of it's constituent Members and all senior staff...(particularly when this stuff goes-down in the Council Chambers and involves Tenders, etc-Ed)...well exactly, and right there in the Chamber is where I witness the vast majority of the stuff we bang-on about here on this 'ere blog...the entire Council and all senior staff need to be 'stood-down' pending a formal public investigation conducted by a genuinely independent Auditor, certainly not the shonks that Council currently engage for these transparently fraudulent self-reviews...it's a laughable joke sans any humour...

I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...cheers and laters...
