LPAB foray into international politics, 1MDB and a HK IPO demand that the Chairman (the CJ NSW) signs off the accounts






What the 1999 Annual Report of the German listed Beate Uhse AG has to do with the Legal Profession Board NSW's lack of proper disclosure requiresexplanation; now read on.
In August 2018 the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board (LPAB), which is part of the Department Of Justice, and under the purview of the Attorney General NSW Mark Speakman, issued a document which held this story that can be found on the Net to be true:



Ganesh Sahathevan, RPK, Clare Brown, Ginny Stein And The Blood Money Trail


The article was in fact an attack on the current Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad,accusing him of bribing the ABC's 4 Corners program to broadcast a false story about the then prime minister Najib Razak.


In doing so the LPAB implied that the 1MDB theft, described by former US Attorney General Jeff Sissons as the biggest case of kleptocracy in history, was in fact a conspiracy engineered by Mahathir,and this writer.


The circumstances that led to the above have not been included in the LPAB's 2017-2018 Annual Report, or in any other public statement from the LPAB. The LPAB and its chairman the Chief Justice Of NSW Tom Bathurst have maintained their silence despite the incident above being reported nationally by he Australian on 17 January 2019 in the story copied/pasted below.



This silence is reminiscent of the lack of information in the LPAB's annual reports about its dealings with the political donor Minshen Zhu, and its part in Zhu's HK IPO of his company, Top Education Group Ltd:


TOP Education Institute's Bachelor of Laws : Political donations,HK Stock Exchange IPO seem to have left regulators confounded, speechless

The background to the LPAB's involvement with Zhu is interesting also given the role played by LPAB member Dr Gordon Elkington :

NSW Liberal donor Minshen Zhu's Top Group, the LPAB,the AG,and Sharon Austen Ltd








Sharon Austem Ltd was a dot com era IPO promoted by among others Legal Profession Admission Board member Dr Gordon Elkingtoon.The company collapsed a year or so after its ASX debut in 2000 but information about its IPO is still available in the public domain.The German listed Beate Uhse AG 's 1999 Annual Report (cover above ) is one example.Kate Askew's Dot.bomb is another. In contrast, Dr Elkington's work at the LPAB which led to the 2018 IPO in Hong Kong of Top Education Group Ltd remains shrouded in mystery ,with the LPAB making only the most limited of disclosures.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

Who authorised former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to say anything about the Berejiklian era quarantine fee and why? Fuller's notice confirms suspicion that NSW Berejiklian government had no basis to impose the quarantine fee, nor quarantine persons who were COVID negative

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
