This is an Open Letter to the Relevant Ministers

  • Rachel Sanderson, South Australia’s Minister for Child Protection,
  • Jacquie Petsuma, Tasmania’s Minister of Human Services
  • Simone McGurk, Western Australia’s Minister for Child Protection
  • Di Farmer, Queensland’s Minister for Child Safety
  • Luke Donnellan, Victoria’s Minister for Child Protection
  • Pru Goward, New South Wales Minister for Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

Dear Ministers,

I am writing to alert you to the fact that you are in danger of lawsuits.

Presumably you were informed, upon becoming a member of parliament, that anything you do as a legislator is protected form civil action. That, of course, is correct.

But in conjunction with your portfolio there is room for a lawsuit, if you have not followed the law.

I am now going to say some harsh words, and I apologize in advance if these words are not relevant in your case.

Corruption Abounds

There is major corruption going on in Australia (no one can fail to notice it) and there is a particular brand of corruption that involves the now-famous matter of child-sexual abuse. Seventeen thousand victims reported abuse to the recent royal Commission. In many cases a negligent institution was to blame.

Because of your portfolio, you are no doubt extra-aware that children need protection. But have you done anything to stop the massive racket of child stealing that is aided by the police and by the judiciary?

I am referring to the fact that pedophiles who are also parents can use the Family Law Court to request sole custody of their child for purposes of sex-trafficking or pornography.

While any citizen in his/her right mind would assume that no judge would award the child to such a parent, the fact is that judges do this every day in Australia. And they do it knowingly.

The Racket Is Plain To Behold

For the last 8 months we at Gumshoe News have been digging around and are astonished to learn how this racket works. The perpetrator of the child abuse, if he or she happens to be the kid’s parent, runs into Family Court to “file for custody” and from that moment on, any police attention to his/her case is quelled.

Although there is no legislation to urge the police units to refuse to help an abused child, the fact – reported by many parents – is that police do “slam the door” on any child that is undergoing sexual abuse at home.

This may be expressed in legal-sounding terms like “we can’t act while the case is sub judice, but that is ridiculous. Police are never supposed to hold back on investigating crime and also on making the appropriate arrests.

I’m sure you know the clever means by which the other parent – usually the mum – loses custody.  It’s that the aforementioned racket has got various “professionals” in place to start blaming her instead of the abuser. Psychologists will hasten to assess her as “mental.”

Social workers are veritably programmed to report that mum’s anxiety state “puts the child at risk of emotional abuse.” Various ICL’s – Independent Children’s Lawyers – on the court’s payroll no less – will aver that the kid is better off with the “innocent” abuser.

And the judge tops it off by using the wholly-worthless theory of Dr Richard Gardner to say that the mum has coached the child, and since the coaching is not true, the child is not really being abused. The mum only wants vengeance (“Hell hath no fury,” etc) and so (in Gardner’s words) she alienates the kid from the father.

That’s been easy to carry off in Family Court as all the judges are in on the game, as far as I can tell.  If there be any who do not approve, they nevertheless see it going on, and if they don’t rail against it they are just as bad.

Complaints Are Getting Publicity

Many are the mothers, and occasionally fathers, who have been put through the mill in the way I have described. Lately, some outsiders found out about the racket and are making a stink. One of the outsiders is Dr Russell Pridgeon who has been arrested for trying to help.

Another is Ms Dee McLachlan, film maker of the 2007 movie The Jammed, about sex-trafficking of women in Melbourne – a very violent enterprise. Dee is also the editor of GumshoeNews.com and I am her sidekick stickybeak, with an eye for court cases.

You may be wondering why more mothers have not gone to court to bring this-all to the authorities’ attention. Well, you see, they are threatened with jail if they do so. The Family Law Act does say in Sec 121 that no one is allowed to publicize a case if it identifies any of the parties.

But Section 121 is just a bluff. It should not prevent any aggrieved person from talking, and certainly not from litigating. Another trick is becoming standard: lawyers in Australia are advising mums not to broach the subject of child sexual abuse. “Hush-hush, please.”

The legal profession should be ashamed of itself. Indeed its members are courting lawsuits against themselves for their skullduggery. I mean it is skullduggery, isn’t it? Or have we all lost our minds.

Any day now there will be lawsuits all over the place.

Minister, whom would you sue if you were the aggrieved party? I would sue the judge.  Everyone thinks judges are immune from civil action. Not true. They are immune when doing their official job. But if they are accomplices to crime, they are not doing their job. Helping a racket is not in the job description of any judge.

As I explain in my 2015 book Fraud Upon the Court, such a judge is really sitting on the bench as an impostor. He or she wears the robes, pretends to listen to both sides of the case, and then carries out a pre-planned action. Voila, the pedo goes free, protected by the court.

And the dear babe has to take the consequences.

Your Job

As for the role of Minister for Child Protection, it is your job – what could be more obvious – to protect children.

At Gumshoe we know for sure that parents are writing to you pleading for emergency help. Their children are being raped, photo’d for porn movies, and sometimes grievous bodily harm is happening to them. Many are drugged, even before the age of 10, forever harming their development.

Yet your reply is to send them a fob-off letter. I wrote to SA’s Attorney General about one case and was told to contact Rachel Sanderson, Minister for Child Protection.  I admit I dragged foot and did not do it, as I know from another case that there is no way she will lift a finger to help. Will not lift a finger.

And in the video below, Dr Pridgeon says he wrote to the Queensland Minister for Child Safety, but this did not lead in any way to the kids being made safe. What the good doctor got for his trouble was a blocking off of his emails, by that minister. (Not knowing the date of his letter I can’t be sure if the minister of the day was Di Farmer or her predecessor.)

Rachel and Di, are you reading this?  Do your staff members have instructions to protect you from awareness by censoring your mail and your literature?  If that’s the case it is no excuse. We are paying you to be responsible and accountable to the citizens.

If someone now sues you for harm caused to a child, I think that is within the normal scope of the law to handle. As I said, if harming a child is not in your job description you can’t hide behind the wall of immunity. The plaintiff can sue you in your personal capacity.

As to whether you are also criminally liable I think that is a possibility. To cover up a crime is a crime in every jurisdiction in Oz. And the prison terms are not meager ones.

As you may know, Dr Pridgeon is looking at a possible 25-year sentence for his having had to save the two kids himself. The police, judge, and Minister for Child Safety rushed to wash their hands of the matter, no doubt because of pressure put on by the pedophile rings.

The Prize in Victoria

Luke, I see you advertised, on April 9, 2019, a prize aimed at “Recognising Excellence In Protecting Children.”

The ad on your official website said:

“Nominations are now open for Victoria’s most celebrated child protection awards that highlight Victorians who work tirelessly to protect and promote the wellbeing of vulnerable children and their families. The Andrews Labor Government’s Victorian Protecting Children Awards recognise those who are committed to keeping children and young people safe from harm, or who show service …”

I am going to nominate Gumshoe Editor Dee McLachlan. For months she has been slaving away to help Protective parents who are desperate to get their sons or daughters back. Just to name one thing Dee has done, she concocted a survey and asked Protective parents to respond.

Seventy-eight people filled out the survey. The results, tabulated by a professional survey company, are jaw-dropping. I will send you a copy.

Oh, another thing Ms McLachlan has done is make some videos of the Pridgeon case and other cases.

Please give 7 minutes of your time to this one:

  1. Mary, you breathe life into people when you say officialdom is liable to legal action if they fail in their duty or exceed their authority. It gives people hope because you have given them a course of action they can take. Practical information like this is gold to many people. I do hope you build on this aspect of your work in the future. Perhaps a bit of “yes they can be sued and this is how to do it”

    For lawyers this is just common knowledge but for that masses such basic knowledge for a lawyer is pure gold.

    I sometimes tempted to think the masses are deliberately not given any basic training in the principles of law, in order to make it easier for the courts and perhaps the legal profession to exploit their ignorance and their sense of helpless and so use them for a gravy train.

    • Kevin, I agree that everyone should be taught law and medicine in high school. And how to build a house and thus know when the electrician is charging too much.

      Just think how exciting school would be if all the kids were taught to solve real problems.

      • Mary I agree with Keven in this, and of course your response is heartening.

        Correct me if I am wrong, does the same thing happen as far as police are concerned?
        That is, if they fail to do their duty or exceed their authority that open themselves up for prosecution?

        Also am I correct in thinking that any public servant it applies to?

        What about private people one engages from time to time? ie – say a lawyer, a Psychologist etc.

        If they fail to do their job or exceed their authority can that be felt with in the same manner? and are they now personally accountable rather than able to hide behind their professional bodies umbrellas?

        I am sure you are aware any case where children are involved, and of course many other cases, there is often a “wall” of conspiracy that one is up against, each brick in that wall represents another person, and quite often our own legal team, acting in what appears to be in unison against you.

        A very typical example with the police and the other parties lawyer mentioned in the film clip. But there are many many other just as “standard” examples, especially in the family courts.

        Is there a way of making these people accountable, and also forcing the courts to hear and deal with these cases?

        Looking forward to your reply.

        Regards

        • Brian
          Im sure Mary is qualified and experienced to answer your question however I would like to comment that the “police” are employees of a corporation and so are the public servants. It just takes someone like Mary to challenge their position and let them know exactly what a precarious position they are in. There are a number of tools or instruments to do so and in this case my understanding was a simple letter or email was sent to them all. Im sure Mary can enlighted us. 🙂

          I am waiting for Mary to answer this use of these:

          Could you use Misfeasance in Office?

          And Vicarious Liability?

          • Fascism is the much touted ‘nanny state’ or paternalism

            Corporations and Governments around the world are breaching and over-riding the ‘conscience’ of its citizens on a steady and regular basis.
            Corporations and governments are making decisions excluding the parents who actually know the child/children.
            Corporations and governments are making decisions for the corporate sector at the detriment of its citizens.
            Corporations and governments are making decisions that are unscientific, false and deliberately misleading.
            Governments are at the bequest of corporations instead of its citizens from lobby groups and their bribes called ‘donations’. (semantical war)
            Governments are making decision because of a ‘Conflict of interest’ instead of good governance.
            Governments and its Health Minister have no idea about genuine health or vaccinations.

  2. How in God’s name did it get this crazy?

    No wonder they wanted to get the guns off us, because when this information becomes common knowledge among the sheeple, there will not be a hole big enough to crawl into and hide. They will be hunted down like dogs.

    Re_read drops re: Haiti.
    At some point it will not be safe for them to walk down the street.
    PURE EVIL.
    HOW MANY IN WASHINGTON AND THOSE AROUND THE WORLD (IN POWER) WORSHIP THE DEVIL?
    Conspiracy?
    Fake News?
    The World is WATCHING.
    Q

    • I’ll don’t want to use my tooth brush to clean the *** off the soles of my shoes. I am personally over the deception throughout all aspects of this ghastly business. I despair at the sheer scale of wrongdoing, and the efforts to keep it all in the dark. We have been reporting on the Family Court for seven months now — but I can honestly say that we haven’t really even started. Thanks for your article today Mary.

        • Yes Dee fraud deception torture and genocide

          I watched John Pilger’s interview: a line stays with me, he was choosing words carefully and said:
          ‘I am trying to find a polite word for brainwashing”

          Until the impact of the Military MKULTRA subprojects are acknowledged and people –all of us –can look at how we all have been brainwashed, mind controlled, enslaved and deceived there is little hope. Ahh but there is a Tipping Point so we continue to support and give voice and take action.

          Perhaps we need to get out the sledge hammers

  3. Dee, it might be a good idea to publish the above video as a separate article. People won’t find it on a search, as the title of my article doesn’t mention Pridgeon’s name.

    Danke.

  4. Thank you Mary & Dee, this has given all of protective parents hope!!! Please let those ‘in the know’ that we are NOT crazy & have the appropr paper trail. We also are not forgiving!!! We will see them in court!!!

  5. Brilliant article Mary. Just brilliant. Dee, I understand your reluctance to accept what is likely a bogus award. If I had a genuine award to give you I would. One for you too Mary. And for every individual, protective parent and group who shares your articles on the FC paedo-criminal system. The paeds must be quaking in their slimy boots.

  6. There are two other legal avenues …. 1. Seek an Order of Mandamus – ordering a governmental body to carry out a statutory duty; 2. To sue a Governmental body for failing to carry out a Statutory Duty if in not doing so, it has led to the harm of an individual. All such proceedings should be started by writing to the other party advising of your intended legal action, and requesting full disclosure of all information and documents held by them and on which they would rely on in their defence. If they fail, to comply, such records can be sub-poenaed
