1 MDB -Is there a Gibraltar connection in Quintin Rozario's Sports, Mortgages, Thoroughbreds and Copyright Exchange?



by Ganesh Sahathevan

The sudden and noisy (in every sense of that word) emergence of one Quintin Rozario of Brisbane in the 1 MDB matter may have provided investigators a new front in the interantional investigation into that matter.

Rozario lists among his achievements recent appointment (in 2014) as a director of something called SMTCE. SMTCE we are told stands for Sports, Mortgages, Thoroughbreds and Copyright Exchange ,the only regulated clearing house and exchange of its kind for listing & trading these types of assets.

The Exchange's website seems to be non-existent (there is no evidence anywhere of it being registered) but it does have a Twitter account in the name of one "Laltiha".

The background images in Laltiha's profile suggest a location somewhere in Malaysia (or some other Asian city) but Rozario's  Linkedin profile states that the Exchange is based in Gibraltar.

Given that those involved in the 1 MDB scandal have been shown to have laundered funds stolen from 1 MDB via a number of tax havens and some rather imaginative vehicles, to suspect that  SMCE is  one of those fronts is only prudent. Given the notoriety of the 1 MDB matter, it is unlikely that anyone who rises in its defence would do so without there being some element of self-preservation.

Sydney is not Soweto, its Asian migrants are not coloureds, or persons of colour - South African Australian Judge Angus Morkel Stewart's decision in Faruqi v Hanson an insult to anyone who is not white

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the recent Federal Court Australia decision in   Faruqi v Hanson   Mr Justice Angus Morkel Stewart (Stewart J)  found at [242]: I am comfortably satisfied that both groups of people in Australia that I have identified, being persons of colour who are migrants or of relatively recent migrant heritage and persons of colour who are Muslim, are reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended (ie profoundly and seriously), insulted, humiliated and intimidated by Senator (Pauline ) Hanson’s tweet. The case concerned   a tweet  that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson directed at  Deputy Greens leader Senator  Mehreen Faruqi. Mehreen is Pakistani Muslim who continues to advocate for Pakistan as a senator of the Senate, Parliament Of Australia.  Senator Hanson wrote in her tweet "piss off back to Pakistan" after Senator Faruqi commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. While Stewart J's has hand...

Ex NSW LPAB Executive Officer Louise Pritchard ,subject of queries from The Australian, hired by Sydney University since early 2019 -NSW LPAB has never explained her departure, UYSD the reasons for her appointment

Image
  by Ganesh Sahathevan  In January 2019 The Australian reported:  The body overseen by Chief Justice Tom Bathurst responsible for deciding who can practise law in NSW relied on a wildly defamatory Malaysian blog depicting ABC journalists, former British prime minister Tony Blair, financier George Soros and others as part of a global conspiracy when deciding to deny a would-be solicitor a certificate to practise. Chief Justice Bathurst and Legal Practitioner Admission Board executive officer Louise Pritchard declined to answer The Australian’s questions about how the article came into the board’s hands and why its members felt the conspiracy-laden material could be relied upon as part of a decision to deny Sydney man Ganesh Sahathevan admission as a lawyer. Nor would either say which of the 10 members of the LPAB, three of whom are serving NSW Supreme Court judges, was on the deciding panel. Ms Pritchard has left her role at the LPAB since The Australian began making inqui...

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...
