A case for Peter Dutton, Dept of Immigration : Robert Chelliah's admission that information has been withheld in the matter of Sirul Azhar

by Ganesh Sahathevan
Australian migration agent Robert Chelliah's statement to The Australian with regards the matter of Villawood detainee Sirul Azhar:
"..I will be forced to reveal the nature of conversations he had with me and that we had with his Malaysian lawyers..":;

repeated in his own words in an email (copied below) to Steven Gan of Malaysiakini and other media :

“Should my professional assistance to Sirul gets politicised than I would have to reveal some aspects of my conversation with Sirul in order to  protect my professional integrity, that has withstood the span of 26 years, on the nature of the  advice I gave Sirul..”

is an admission that not all has been revealed to the Minister and Department  Of Immigration in the matter of Sirul's application for a protection visa.
As for his claim  to some form of professional privilege, suffice to say that a call girl with clients in the  legal profession  has  a batter chance of success in sustaining (no pun intended) that defense. 
As mentioned before, it is time the chinless one (Peter Dutton)   made a public statement about this debacle.

Dear Steven
I do not these people looped in this email that landed in my inbox originating from someone under hallucination.

Please allow me to correct the misconception carried by Malaysiakini  on todays (16/02/2016) Malaysiakini “ Now, Migration Consultant threatens to tell on Sirul” . I used no such threatening language. What I said to the Australian reporter was that “Should my professional assistance to Sirul gets politicised than I would have to reveal some aspects of my conversation with Sirul in order to  protect my professional integrity, that has withstood the span of 26 years, on the nature of the  advice I gave Sirul..”  
Contrary to what the media and others on the fringe may say I am still governed by the Code of Conduct  for the Migration Agents that is prescribed in the Migration Act 1958 and the Migration Regulation 1994. This Code of Conduct comes with the  full force of law, requires me to maintain confidentiality of the details of conversation between me and the clients. This I am committed to. Secondly I am committed to act in the best interest of the client while maintaining the integrity of the Migration laws
Based on the above,  I did brief the reporter and Mr. Sidhu  that my advice to Sirul in was aspects of the Migration laws applicable for the application of  Bridging Visa E . This visa enables someone under detention to be released temporarily into the community until the application for the main protection visa is resolved.  It  required me to be candid and  explain to him that notwithstanding his conviction for murder and warrant of arrest that he is under, it would be an uphill task for him to be released into the community unless he satisfies the Minister of his  Character under Section 501 of the Migration Act and this process may end up in the higher courts of Australia. This requires him to put in writing under what mitigating circumstances he committed the offence to reduce the gravity of “mia culpa” if the Minister of Immigration has to be persuaded that it is safe for his temporary release into the community.. This of course requires him to go into specific details including the motive for the murder. He was midway doing this when the agendas of others stoped him and his intended application for bridging Visa E stopped on track.
I carry no secret that should cause discomfort to others other than to my role to assist Sirul and the Solicitor for the best outcome within the framework of the Australian Migration Act 1958
Finally what fringe lunatics hallucinating under nonexistence facts and circumstances may say about my connection to the Malaysian government I state unconditionally that I have non whatsoever . The   course of my professional role will continue until it is formally terminated or the case comes to its final conclusion.

I would be grateful if you could get this true position published.

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...
