 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In a letter sent this writer in October 2019 the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board's then Executive Officer,Louise Pritchard acting under the authority of Chairman Tom Bathurst, Chief Justice NSW, said: Being  a letter sent under the authority of the   Chief Justice, the letter was given  much careful consideration after which the  the following obvious response was provided:  The licence number on the character reference is that of the referee, sighted by the authorised witness,Mr (name deleted). The certified copy of the driver's license (number deleted ) is indeed my own, and provided as I understand the rules of application require. Ms Pritchard remained silent for a very long time, and it was only after a number of request for a response to determine if further clarification was needed, that an unsigned response was provided to say: You have answered the question satisfactorily (paraphrase). The above was clearly an attempt to confect a paper tra

by Ganesh Sahathevan  Mark Speakman's Electoral  Office has asked, in fact demanded ,that his business with the Communist Party China linked Zhu Minshen and his Top Education Group, and possibly other Asian businessmen,  be referred to his successor, ALP AG NSW Michael Daley. That response was emailed this writer in response to the posts below on Twitter and on this blog which were sent Speakman's office. Speakman had refused to answer any querie  while he was Attorney General, so these issues remain unresolved.  While he seeks to be Leader Of The Opposition his business with Zhu Minshen remains a mystery. Speakman remains silent in the face of  ongoing, publicly  known issues such  as this: https://twitter.com/ GSahathevan/status/ 1640724462525100036 Equally troubling is the fact that his officers and he chose , despite information, to discredit this writer's work investigating some of South East Asia's best known crooks, who also have investments in Australia (See sto

This was organized by a quiet courteous man who remained with me after calling up my questioner. " Did I know the choirboys who had been molested in the cathedral?" " Did I intend to lodge an appeal?", I was then asked, as they had no record of this. This was surprising as the appeal was lodged before my sentencing and I already have the date for the  appeal hearing on June 5-6. The appeal was heard on June 5 and 6 2019, and a three judge panel led by Chief Justice Anne Ferguson handed down their decision rejecting the appeal on 21 August 2019.  The Placement Assessments Unit is

Liberal donor Zhu Minshen's law school open for enrolment for the first time in 4 years-further mystery surrounds AG Mark Speakman's approval, concerns about questionable academic standards remain

  Thursday, March 16, 2023  by Ganesh Sahathevan  Liberal donor Zhu Minshen (since deceased ) law school has begun enrolling new students for the first  time in 4 years . Zhu's Top Education Group, now trading as IMC, has not provided any explanation for the suspension of enrolments since 2019, just after its LLB course was  reaccreditated by the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board. The LPAB is part of the NSW Department Of Justice which ultimately reports to the NSW Attorney General Mark Speakman SC.  The license to award law degrees, issued has remained in place despite the suspension of enrolments. It is likely that suspension of the license would have caused an even more drastic fall in Top's share price.  This sudden unexplained resumption in enrolments adds to the  mystery that surrounds AG Mark Speakman's  anomalous approval granted Zhu Minshen. Speakman has remained silent. H is NSW LPAB and he have not addressed the matter of Zhu's questionable academic standa

AG NSW Mark Speakman renewed Liberal donor Zhu Minshen's license to award law degrees despite publicly available information about Zhu's highly questionable academic standards - Speakman is seeking reelection in Cronulla

 by Ganesh Sahathevan  Mark Speakman As First Law Officer of the state, Mark oversees  the administration of almost 200 Acts of Parliament,  the most of any minister in the NSW Government.  In his 2018 book "Silent Invasion" Professor Clive Hamilton reported that Top Education Group's Zhu Minshen organised students , including students from his Top Education Institute to protest against Tibetans at the 2008 rally , which counted towards the Top students’ assessment. Zhu’s Top Institution is “perhaps the only accredited degree program in Australia that counts agitating for a foreign power towards its qualifications.”   Despite the publicity about Hamilton's book and his revelation that Zhu had awarded credits to his students for rioting in futhearance of China's interests,  the Attorney General NSW Mark Speakmnan reaccreditated Zhu and his Top Group's license to award law degrees in June 2019. Top Group's law school has not enrolled any new students since. 

Perrottet can promise to add at least $50 Million a year to TAFE funding by undertaking to reform NSW's legal training accreditation regime - Current regime administered by the NSW LPAB has produced a number of anomalous decisions , including granting a Communist Party China linked company the right to grant Australian law degrees, and access taxpayer funded HECS and FEE HELP

 by Ganesh Sahathevan                    Perrottet plans to give every 18-year-old $28,000-So many promises,so little money NSW Premier Dominic  Perrottet has been promising millions in his campaign to be re-elected on 25  March 2023.   He  can add to his  promises  a promise  to  add at least  $50 Million a year to TAFE funding by undertaking to  reform  NSW's legal accreditation training regime (see story below). The current regime. is administered  by the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board, which has among other things granted  a Communist Party China linked company the right to grant  Australian law degrees, and access taxpayer funded HECS and FEE HEL P .  That decision in favour of the Communist Party China linked Zhu Minshen and his Top Group is suspicious in itself and warrants a Federal ICAC investigation. It is also likely to have allowed Top to access millions in Commonwealth HECS and  FEE HELP funding.  To Be Read With Sacrificing TAFE while subsidising NSW's Coll
