Realization:

For the first time in my life, I can understand how a per person can be pushed to the point, where he goes on a rampage against the people that have ruined him. Although I could never do that, but the option of not waking up one morning, would be an enormous relief of finally not having to deal with these people any longer!

the press.........

A word of caution:

I found it very difficult to get the press interested. I contacted various programs such as Australian Story, State Line, A Current Affair, Four Corners and the West Australian. Only Colleen Eagan of the West Australian showed any interest and the story you are told is going to be publsihed, can be very different to what actually does get published!

The press likes to argue the importance of a free press and the rights of the public to know. But the press is no different to any other business, they are only interested in stories that sell. The commercial press in particular, is interested mainly in aussie battler stories, if you are well off and educated, they are not so interested, as to many of their viewers feel you have deserved it (see the uniquely Australian Tall Poppy Syndrome). The West Australian did however, publish a short story in late 2010. Since then, I have been unable to get any further coverage, as I have been told by one journalist, that they cannot publish the contents of the transcripts I have made of my meetings with ICWA and the WA Ombudsman, out of fear of prosecution, for violating the public servants right to privacy, when he is dealing with a member of the public.

These privacy rights seem to remain in force, even when a public servant is abusing his powers, not acting correctly, threatening a member of the public or possible committing a criminal offence.

Tall poppy syndrome:

If you think this can only happen to well off individuals. Think again, anybody whether you are a single mum, child, pensioner or unemployed person can wind up in the same situation. The innocent victim of a motor vehicle accident only needs to require 24/7 medical care for the rest of his life for his compensation claim to amount to millions of dollars. (more)

Purpose:

This site is meant to both inform the public of the faults of the WA Third Party Compensation System and the outragoeous actions or lack thereof of the very instituitions that are meant to protect the public from the excesses of goverment institutions. (more)

My personal target, is to overturn a miss carriage of justice, restore my good name, regain my dignity, improve my health and that of my family, obtain compensation that takes into account ALL the evidence, as ICWA is supposed to do and hopefully make a contribution to change how innocent victims are treated and compensated in Western Australia.
