More on Dutton,Serco & Border Force's failure to secure Villawood & Sirul Azhar Umar: Is Jho Low involved ?


by Ganesh Sahathevan

It was reported yesterday on this blog that the Minister for Immigration and Border Control, Peter Dutton, together with Serco who manage the Villawood Detention Centre and the Australian Border Force, had effectively handed control of Villawood detainee Sirul Azhar Umar to the Malaysian Government and its agents.

In August this year I reported that one Jho Low, a Malaysian businessman implicated in the multi-billion dollar  1 MDB scandal may have been kept informed of this writer's investigation into the management of Sirul's matter (see story below).

Given their bizarre actions, Dutton,Serco , Border Force and the Department of Immigration need to ask and must answer if their people have been undermined by Mr Low. Regardless of motivation, a breach of national security is evident and  those involved must suffer the consequences.

Sirul Azhar Umar has become hot property: Evidence that Jho Low may have created the market
by Ganesh Sahathevan




Evidence is emerging that someone in Taipei, Taiwan, has been informed of this writer's queries concerning the matter of Sirul.The emergence of this evidence coincides with Sarawak Report's revelation that Low Taek Jho, aka Jho Low, has sought
refuge in Taiwan. Given that Jho Low has been "tied to the 1 MDB inquiry" a link between 1 MDB and and the matter of Sirul Azhar Umar may soon become apparent.


While in detention Sirul's ability to receive any significant amount of cash is non-existent.It is highly unlikely that he even has a bank account in Australia.The same can be said for his teenage son who remains in Australia. Even if released any receipt of funds on their part will be very closely scrutinized.
Consequently all this money or promise of money swirling around Sirul is indicative only of a presumed right to keep him silent.For so long as he remains in detention others can lay claim to that right,and trade it with anyone who is willing to pay. It appears that Jho Low created the market but it is unclear if he still has the finances to keep that market liquid. With accounts being frozen in Singapore and Malaysia it is likely that the market has dried up.Nevertheless, some may be living in hope.





While Sirul Azhar Umar remains unrepresented those who have laid claim over him, or who have been reported to be his legal advisors have refused to say who pays or has promised to pay for their services.
Nevertheless whatever is or was on offer to guide Sirul through his troubles must be significant, for how else does one explain this fiercely possessive reaction from Christopher Levingston, an immigration lawyer who was asked to clarify his position vis a vis Sirul:


You have no standing nor do you have any legitimate interest in this matter.
Your attempts to interpose yourself and your strategy of “divide and rule” is not only unprofessional but also unethical.

If Damien Tudehope's COVID hotel quarantine fee statements are correct, SLHD revenue reported in financial statements signed by former CEO Teresa Anderson is overstated, and false

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan                     Tough talking Damien Tudehope may not have the power to impose th.  bulk of his quarantine fee, if any Readers will recall that former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller (now a PwC partner) said in his notice that Revenue NSW " will be charging a mandatory quarantine fee". Readers will also recall that the rormer NSW Minister For Financial Services, Damien Tudehope insisted that the quarantine fees charged by Sydney Local Health District, pursuant to the NSW Health Services Act include charges for police security. However, there is nothing  in the SLHD's financial statements for the relevant periods (see links below) to reflect any payment from the COVID quarantine fee revenue being made over to NSW Police. SLHD's revenue must then have been overstated, by the CEO concerned Teresa Anderson.  SLHD Financial Statements https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/annualreport/Publicat...

Strata managers' aversion to contact with tenants can leave strata managers exposed to personal liability

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Advice for living in, or buying into, a strata community Strata managers are employed to manage strata schemes which are often home to renters as well as owners. However, in evasion of that which they are paid to do there are instances where strata managers have attempted  to evade their duties by refusing to  deal with tenants.   Even this writer can recall an instance where the strata manager warned that it was against the law for tenants to contact him directly.  The instances where strata managers have refused to deal with tenants occur when the issues raised concern fairly pedestrian maintenance issues, for example blocked plumbing and the like. Having said that, tenants do actually have a legal right to a great many things, including being informed (and presumably make representations) when strata schemes consider re-development. Strata managers who seek to stand in place of strata committees  are even more e...
