Emails to WA Crime Commissioner John McKechnie QC being read in Singapore?
by Ganesh Sahathevan

Justice John McKechnie(as he then was) once said the WACCC had kicked "some spectacular own goals" in recent years.Now as its head, his conduct needs investigation.
It has been previously reported on this blog that the WA Corruption & Crime Commissioner John McKechnie QC confirmed but dismissed Anne Azza Aly's referring queries about her the funding of her charity PAVE to Malaysia as not "new or worthy of consideration".
It has since come to this writer's attention that the email query sent McKechnie by this writer has been read on at least two occasions by person or persons in Singapore.Records show that at least one email was read on a Starhub server located in Singapore's South West Community Development Council area.It is unclear what the contents of the email are being used for,and by whom.It is likely that McKechnie's own comments (and others he may have forwarded the email to) have been added to the original email from this writer, and that those contents also are of interest to the Singapore entities.

Malaysian agencies do have a presence in Singapore, as does one Zulfikar Shariff, who led the Islamic Council Of Victoria 's Media Montors project, in which Anne Aly was also involved.
Shariff is a well known supporter of Al-Qaeda and ISIS and has family in Singapore (from where he comes) and in Melbourne, where his wife and children are based. He is currently in prison in Singapore,having been arrested on terrorism related charges.
McKechnie should be stood down while his conduct is investigated. The integrity of the WACCC's IT system is likely to have been compromised by his actions,and hence a complete systems audit will also be required.

The issues raised on my related RealpoltikAsia blog in the posting:
ALP's Anne Aly's Phoenix Consulting of Dubai provides covert intel training-Who does she report to in Dubai, and then there is the matter of Malaysia.......
were brought to the attention of The Hon John McKechnie QC,the current Commissioner, WA Corruption and Crime ,given the security implications that arise from the connections between PAVE and one David (Dave) Allen, currently Assistant Director Intelligence,WA CCC.
McKechnie's response is as follows:
Thank you for the email. I am the Corruption and Crime Commissioner. I will decide if and when Mr Allens security clearance should be reconsidered but nothing in this email is either new or worthy of consideration.
The Hon John McKechnie QC
NOTES
A) The Australian , 13 June 2015
“I’ve never met anyone with the work ethic of Anne, and I’ve worked with pretty hard-working people in my time,” interjects Aly’s third husband, David Allen, a former captain of Australia’s ice-hockey team who married her two years ago. “And trust me, she’s feisty.”
Canadian-born Allen, a tall, muscular figure who trained as a police security expert, made a timely entrance into Aly’s life. As her profile has risen, so have the death threats. Aly wrote about it on her blog, in a rebuke against Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s comments about the need for the Muslim community to denounce terrorism, which she paraphrased as: “Muslims don’t speak out and they don’t mean it when they do”.

Readers have now confirmation from no less a personage than the WA CCC Commissioner himself, a former judge and QC,of the fact of Aly's Dubai connection, and her referring queries about her work to person or persons in Malaysia and Singapore.
With regards these matters being not "worthy of consideration", clearly the commissioner and former judge , despite his new position, has much to learn about how and why information is sought, acquired ,traded and utilized.
That lesson will have to be in an another posting, but some material has been provided below to allow readers to determine the matter for themselves, These notes were provided the Commissioner.
