Systemic Dishonesty in the Judicial System of Victoria

My line in the sand.

I say that the evidence set out on this website could lead a reasonable person to conclude that some barristers appearing before the Supreme Court of Victoria do mislead that Court and they can, and do, only do so as a consequence of a well-founded sense of impunity and immunity born from the surety that neither the Court nor their "learned friends" will expose them.

I further say: on the evidence set out on this website facts exist which, if considered by the Houses of Parliament, could give rise to a determination that Justice Osborn of the Supreme Court of Victoria has misbehaved and ought to be removed from office. Accordingly I believe that the Attorney General of Victoria should convene a committee pursuant to s.87AAD of the Constitution Act 1975 (Vic) and refer the facts set out on this website to that committee or alternatively explain to the people of Victoria as to why the facts set out on this website are not facts which could amount to proved misbehaviour.

The courts, and the legal professions generally, have a vested interest in not revealing or acceding to the fact that lawyers lie in court. It is essential to our democracy that the people have confidence in the court system. That confidence would be eroded by exposure of the fact that lawyers do mislead the court and obtain wrongful judgments. At the present time the court and the profession deals with this problem by not admitting or acceding to it and at times actively concealing and denying it. I say that the people and democracy would be better served if the court transparently and harshly dealt with such lawyers. The present acquiescence provides the sense of immunity and impunity which engenders the problem.

This website sets out in graphic detail a fraud by Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Coliban Water and that their lawyers have misled various Courts, tribunal and Inquiries over an extended period of time.

That lawyers lie in court is folklore, the source of many jokes, borne of a serious truth that strikes at the very heart of democracy. In the past the victims of lying lawyers have had no recourse other than to refer the facts, as best they could, to the denizens of the system or appeal to the very courts which tolerate, and thereby engender, such things and that was the end of the line for them.

It seems everyone knows that lawyers lie in court but there is an astounding dearth of exposure and punishment of such things. The courts know of these things, the lawyers know of these things yet no-one deals with these things, much less the court itself. Courts which tolerate such things are a sham. On the evidence on this website the Supreme Court of Victoria not only tolerates lying lawyers it positively protects them and as a consequence no person can have confidence in any judgment of that Court.

In my very firm and confident opinion the evidence set out on the Lying Lawyers Part One and the Efthim pages of this website is not capable of being interpreted as being anything else other than evidence of overt dishonesty by lying lawyers done for the purpose of subverting justice and democracy and that they obtained the judgment of Master Efthim by deception.

In my very firm and confident opinion the evidence set out on the Teaser, Lying Lawyers Parts One and Two and the Osborn pages of this website is not capable of being interpreted as being anything else other than evidence that the Court itself, and the Court of Justice Osborn in particular, acted in such a manner as to overtly conceal and deny the evidence before it, that the lawyers had deceived Master Efthim and had obtained judgment by deception.

In the premise that my opinion as to the evidence which I have set out on Teaser page and the Lying Lawyers Parts One and Two pages is not unfounded then that evidence and the subsequent things which occurred in the Courts of Osborn and Neave and Mandie are extremely serious indeed. They strike at the very heart of democracy in the state of Victoria at least. I suspect that the problem is endemic and systemic and exists throughout Australia.

These things had their genesis in a fraud perpetrated by the predecessors to the Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Coliban Water. This fraud is summarised on the Story Page, the Coordinated Fraud page and linked pages. At the time that those things were occurring a Ministerial Inquiry was established. This inquiry failed, at least in part, because Mr. Ian Lonie of Maddock Lonie and Chisholm misled the then Minister for Water. Subsequently, under colour of silk, Mr. Greg Garde QC, in company with Ian Lonie, represented to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal that the manifestly unlawful Water Supply Agreement which formed part of that fraud was a lawful and enforceable agreement. Maddock Lonie and Chisholm is now Maddocks. Greg Garde and Maddocks acted for the Council and Water Authority before Master Efthim and Justice Osborn in this most recent round.

Had Maddocks not misled the Minister and had Garde and Maddocks not misled the tribunal then it is most probable that the fraud would have been at an end many years ago and the present round would not have occurred. Maddocks and Garde continue to be involved and continue to profit.

The lawyers and the Court crossed my line in the sand during the recent series of Supreme Court hearings. This website and my submissions to appropriate authority are my response. This website is for the purpose of placing these things squarely in the public domain and is my submission to the people of Victoria.

I rely on my firm belief that the truth is more powerful than the collective might of the Supreme Court and its friends. The Court and the profession must cleanse themselves and deal harshly with lying lawyers or be exposed as a continuing sham. At present, on the evidence on this website, the Supreme Court of Victoria is a sham and this website exposes that sham.

The suggested reading sequence of this website is The Story which is a narrative of the fraud in relation to a subdivision known as Woodleigh Heights, followed by the pages entitled the Conman and his lawyer and the Tylden Rd Story which are related to the subdivision known as Tylden Rd. The page entitled Coordinated Fraud sets out the relationship. Lying Lawyers Part One should be read next followed by the Efthim pages and then Lying Lawyers Part Two and the Osborn pages and then the Neave and Mandie page. The links from those pages will take you to the rest.

This is an extensive website which deals with some complex material. It is not for the faint hearted.

Watch the "Open Letters" page to see how authority and interested parties deal with these things.
