My children, Aboriginal children - What is the difference. They are all children. What I am comparing is the Governments failure to address complaints in relation to the mistreatment of children. When you are treated with disdain, when you are victimised and denied your rights it impacts your state of mind.
PALE. When I wrote a complaint about the Ombudsman to the Office of the Ombudsman and Police Integrity Commission about the fact that the Ombudsman had not been fair in his dealings with my family they advised us that under the Ombudsman’s ACt Section 31B(2) that they were prohibited from asking questions about 'particular conduct' and that they therefore couldn’t' help my family. The second time I wrote to them as I had clear evidence of a conspiracy to cover up they said that they do not have the power to do anything.
The failure of people in positions to act makes it appear that we don't have a case, when in reality the problem is that the system is set up to protect criminals. The whole idea is to discredit the complainant and it certainly works.
CJMorgan. Don't be so sure mate. I went to the local member and he said that there should be a report on the investigation if the Department is indicating that the matter was investigated. The local member wrote to the Department who just replied and said the matter was closed. The local member then wrote to me and said that he couldn't help me. Everybody says that they do not have the power. So the power is obviously with the accused.
In July 2007 I requested under FOI the investigation report. To date no documents have been produced. There has never been an investigation and I know because it is clearly set out in documents I received under FOI. All there has been is a cover up all the way to the top.
