Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong will be in KL to lecture Malaysians on Australia and South East Asian security- Will she address her apparent disapproval of UK-Malaysia defence ties

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  Penny Wong and Rory Medcalf AM will be speaking in Kuala Lumpur on 10 July 2025. They now have an opportunity to explain to Malaysians how Penny Wong 's demanding that UK apologise for its colonial past , despite its long standing defence ties with Malaysia , Brunei and Singaopre, is "actually a geopolitical play" intended to craft a new scaffolding for AUKUS. The existing "scaffolding" does not, it seems, matter: Rory Medcalf AM also makes reference to the impoverished circumstances of Penny Wong 's Sabah Hakka-Cantonese family , which was apparently mistreated by some English family (Penny says her grandmother worked for an English family as a maid, after WW2). https://lnkd.in/gwuRcxNJ TO BE READ WITH  The UK confronted its colonial past in Malaysia in 1988 with a USD1.95 Billion arms deal, a contract to construct the Pergau Dam, and other deals which were concluded when Penny Wong was at uni, playing undergraduate politics -...

ABC RN reported in 2013 that eminent figures in the judiciary "are associated with" Gulen activities-In 2019 AG NSW Mark Speakman found that to say so is to " lack insight", and to disrespect the judiciary and the AG-Gulen's statements against Jews were reported in 2016

by Ganesh Sahathevan Margaret Coffey, ABC Radio National, 4 September 2013: ............. the Gülen movement is active in this country and influential and eminent figures in government, politics, academia, the police and the judiciary are associated with its activities. For example, though they don’t declare it on their websites, organisations such as the Australian Intercultural Society, AIS, in Victoria, or Affinity Intercultural Foundation, AIF, in NSW, are parts of this trans-national movement. ( The Gülen movement's mysterious role in modern Turkey ) Ganesh Sahathevan, TerrorFinance ,June 15 2018(see story below) The Hon Justice M J Beazley AO, President Of The Court Of Appeal ,State Of NSW, Australia ,said in a speech delivered in 2014, but not widely reported: "...despite a perception that Islam and the Australian law are incompatible, this is not borne out by the caselaw" She did so in conjunction with the Affinity Intercultural Foundation, the Australian arm of t...

COVID quarantine fees- Failure to provide itemised invoices enabled then Commissioner Of Police Mick Fuller to conceal payments to Healthcare Australia

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  Anyone who was subjected to the Berejiklian- Hazzard 14 day COVID hotel quarantine would recall receiving so-called health checks. Many if not all would have assumed that these were calls from doctors and nurses of the Sydney Local Health District (SLHD), in whose name invoices were issued.  Despite numerous requests from this writer, SLHD refused to provide an itemised invoice, referring all queries to Revenue NSW. As it turns out, the phone calls were from employees of  Healthcare Australia who say they "partnered with NSW Health in providing health and wellness consultations to "guest" during their quarantine".  Healthcare Australia's "partnering" has never been made public and adds to the problems reported below, which go to the nature and quantum of Berejiklian's so-called  quarantine fee, enforced by Mike Fuller who is now a partner at PwC. It is unclear how much "guests" paid for Healthcare Australia's se...

NSW Commissioner of Fines Administration withdraws COVID fines for lack of details, refuses to withdraw COVID hotel quarantine fees (which were in fact a fine) despite ministers Hazzard and Dominello refusing to provide details of the "fee"

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan    The NSW Commissioner of Fines Administration in consultation with the NSW Police Commissioner will withdraw all remaining 23,539 Covid-19 penalty notices.   In late 2022 the Commissioner of Fines Administration exercised his statutory power to withdraw around 36,000 penalty notices in relation to four different Covid-19 related offences.  This was on the basis that limited information contained in some penalty notices made it difficult for fine recipients to understand the nature of the offence and did not comply with the specificity requirement of the Fines Act 1996. The remaining 23,539 penalty notices were not withdrawn as part of this decision as they were formulated differently, with a clearer explanation of the offences for which they were issued. This then brings us to the that other COVID fine, the hotel quarantine fine which  former Premier Gladys Berejiklian, her Police Chief Mick Fuller  administered which  was ...
