We the
victims of - ceo Peter Maher - Jerry McAuliffe - Maree Fell - John Campbell all
officials of Queensland St Vincent de Paul Cairns thought the ABC Fourcorners
journalists would assist us in our fight for justice.
As well as every thing
else we have sent to the ABC after informing
A. C. HENDERSON

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

FAR NORTHERN REGION QUEENSLAND

he
informed us he will not be taking any action against Jerry McAuliffe and his ceo
Peter Maher.

These two thieves removed gym equipment belonging to the
Australian Federal Police [TAX PAYERS MONEY] stored in Vinnies Gym by a Federal
Police officer.
This Federal Police officer was not quick enough to remove
it before Jerry McAuliffe in his haste to close Vinnies Gym removed it along
with all the conditional donated equipment and personal property belonging to
citizens of Cairns.
If this is not seen by the ABC as crimal abuse of power
then we in Cairns are wasting our time thinking the media is honest or for that
matter even cares!
All this evidence and information can be confirmed by
Cairns Bishop James Foley.
It was Bishop James Foley that asked Jerry
McAuliffe to return all the equipment he removed from Vinnies Gym to a property
belonging to the Catholic Church so the rightful owners could retrieve property
belonging to them.

This request to Jerry McAuliffe was after a meeting
Jim Tierney had with Bishop James Foley telling the Bishop of the Fereral Police
gym equipment stolen along with personal property belonging to citizens of
Cairns.

So the ABC only have to ask Cairns Bishop James Foley for
confirmation.

Dear Mr Tierney

Thank you for your email of
27 February 2008 to the Prime Minister, the Hon Kevin Rudd MP, about bullying
and harassment towards women in the workplace. Your letter was referred to me as
the issues raised fall within my area of responsibility.
I understand that
workplace bullying and harassment can have long term detrimental effects for
those who have experienced it. I commend you for taking these issues seriously
and acting as an advocate for these women you know who have experienced
workplace bullying and harassment.
You have mentioned in your letter that the
women you are supporting are continuing to have negative outcomes, including
feeling suicidal. It may be useful for them to access some professional support
from a service such as Relationships Australia. They can offer counselling
support or a referral to a more appropriate service or person, and can be
contacted on
1300 364 277.
I would encourage you and the women you wrote
about to contact the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. They are an
independent statutory organisation whose work involves resolving complaints
about discrimination, including sexual discrimination and harassment. The
Commission is contactable on 1300 656 419, and may be able to assist you with
your complaint or provide you with a referral to a more appropriate
body.
Once again, thank you for writing. I wish you well in your continued
support of these women and hope that they find an outcome that helps them to
heal and feel safe in the future.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Tierney

RE: YOUR CONCERNS

I
refer to your recent correspondence with the CMC received on 2 May 2008 during
which you raised concerns about the outcome of a matter referred by the CMC to
the Queensland Police Service.
You may recall that we have advised you in our
letter of 10 August 2007 the reasons why we referred the matter to the Ethical
Standards Command to deal with.
If you have any concerns over any aspect of
the way the Queensland Police Service dealt with your matter, please contact the
Ethical Standards Command on (07) 3364 6464.
A copy of the material you
provided to us on 2 May 2008 has been forwarded to the Ethical Standards
Command.

Yours sincerely

COMPLAINTS SERVICES

----------------------------------------------------------------------
When
can we anticipate a response from the

Ethical Standards Command
-

regarding Queensland Assistant POLICE Commissioner/s not investigating
GYM EQUIPMENT the property of the Australian Federal Police stolen by Jerry
McAuliffe and Peter
Maher?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

All
you Labor politicians may just keep binning our correspondence thinking we will
eventually GO AWAY.

As the spokesperson for hundreds of extremely aghast
citizens of Cairns we find it inexcusable for any individual that willingly will
not help disadvantaged youth or anyone that is disadvantaged.
It becomes
repulsive behaviour when community elected public servants will not help their
own citizens because they will have to expose these highly unethical, arrogant
and publicly deceptive Society ceo Peter Maher and his deceptive unethical
colleagues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

These
are the individuals that you all keep saying are harmless and have done no wrong
this email shows clearly they are conspiring about collectively now $324 million
dollars stolen from the poor in Cairns and these are not capable of bullying and
lying they must have someone in their
pocket.

Subject:
Ozcare

Peter,

A few points I consider I should contribute
towards this debate:

* At last State Council meeting I can recall saying
I considered Mick had a point when he was concerned re legal action not having
the sanction of the full State Council.

My reason for saying this
relates to concerns if minutes were to be subpoenaed by a court at a future date
and the legal action could be deemed to be invalid.
I don't have any legal
advice on this, it was merely a concern.
* From my recollection, Maurie then
weighed in and had a motion passed with words to the effect that State Council
now supported the action and a vote of thanks was moved to those who had been
working so hard on the Ozcare issue. I stand corrected if my recollections are
not exact as they are made without the benefit of minutes of the meeting. I
guess this motion now at least places the action in minutes of a State Council
meeting. As far as I am aware, there were no dissenters when the motion was
put.
* I do not appear to have any official minutes of the teleconference
15/2/05. However, my handwritten notes indicate that a legal challenge may not
have been one of the nine stratagies outlined in your e-mail of Sunday 5/6/2005.

I agree that the other stratagies listed were discussed and am aware
from the last State Council meeting that number 9 (letter to all Vincentians) is
still being worked on.
* My notes indicate that at the time of the
teleconference a legal challenge was still "On the table" but that there may
have been a way to comeup with some process that all parties would be happy
with. The notes further indicate that this could be a staged strategy and it was
after this wording that the stratagies outlined in your e-mail were detailed
(with the exception of the legal challenge). It could well be argued that
because the
legal challenge was deemed still "On the table" that it was one
of the stratagies.

As, stated, these are merely handwritten notes taken
during the teleconference and I stand corrected if they do not agree with
official
minutes.
* My notes also indicate that, following the
teleconference, further short up-dates would be forthcoming.

Regards,

Jerry
McAuliffe

A
C HENDERSON
ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FAR NORTHERN REGION

11 March
2008.

Dear Mr A C HENDERSON ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

I refer to
your correspondence of 7 March 2008 they are not allegations we are making
against Inspector Ian Swan and we find it offensive by you continually stating
they are only allegations. As I have stated before no other police officer other
than Detective Sheridan Heaton was in that room with us and I can prove exactly
what was said in that room Ian Swan cannot. What relevance is it to my wife and
me what rank, what branch, what type of police officer you say investigated what
was said in that room.

The whole of Australia knows you do not give up
your own; ask Inspector Ian Swan would he be willing to take a lie detective
test with us?

Mr A C HENDERSON why in the name of Inspector Ian Swans’
GOD would we ever trust his advice or indeed his word?

It has now been
proven to my wife and me what we have only heard in the past regarding the
Queensland police.
In our humble opinion nothing has changed in Queensland
police service since Terry Lewis was arrested and Sir Joh ran the whole of
Queensland including Queensland police service.
Now with regard to you saying
you have been informed “we refused to sign a release document” how dare you
repeat this lie in the position you hold?
We now demand you ask Cairns
Bishop James Foley what we REALLY WERE ASKED TO SIGN seeing only Catholics are
believe in this Catholic State.
We were asked to sign an AS IS DOCUMENT not
a release document if you are going to repeat something to us in your official
position make sure of the FACTS Sir, McAuliffe the same man I informed you
PERSONALLY of - is the same lying individual that stood by while women were
bullied to the point of suicide and nervous breakdowns these were Catholic women
Sir.
I have sent to you personally, [with your name on them] copies of emails
confirming to you that both lying McAuliffe, and society ceo Peter Maher, were
and still are conspiring to alter the minutes of a Board of directors meeting
[that my wife was part of] regarding the STOLEN $130 million dollars that was
given away illegally by these good Catholics to finance Ozcare.
Ozcare is a
private entity that returns nothing back to the poor in Cairns yet you as a
senior Queensland police officer see this as acceptable?
I note also in your
correspondence to us you never advised us what advice we give the citizens of
Cairns whose property was also stolen by these highly unethical, arrogant and
publicly deceptive Society officials.
Shall we tell them to write to you
personally?

And finally it seems it must have slipped your mind, we also
asked you for advice regarding the property belonging to the Australian Federal
Police that I also informed you personally of.
Remember McAuliffe and ceo
Maher stole equipment belonging to the Australian Federal Police that was stored
in Vinnies Gym.
Hence my reason for me not signing Jerry McAuliffe’s AS IS
DOCUMENT not A RELEASE DOCUMENT that you have been incorrectly informed about.

Sir, you in your position may trust Queensland laws we humble citizens of
Cairns do not, I will never sign an AS IS DOCUMENT - again not a release
document totally different you see.
Particularly signing my name to an AS IS
DOCUMENT when it involves the Australian Federal Police equipment that is likely
or to be expected missing like the Cairns Kitchen that the ALH group paid $6,000
for.
That the untouchable society Mr "Life is Tough" Peter Maher said he
paid for.
And like the enormous amount stolen from the poor again in
Queensland of $200,000 missing from the Gold Coast society branch this is of
course only the conservative figure for a public strategy exercise by the
thieves my wife and me understand it was a lot more.

So Mr A C HENDERSON
ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER
FAR NORTHERN REGION
If you see this as not a
Queensland state police issue which is what it appears to us humble citizens can
you advice us who do we report this stolen property issue too?
As some
Cairns citizens we understand know the name of the police officer involved in
the initial removal of the Australian Federal Police GYM EQUIPMENT, before it
was stored in Vinnies Gym and finally stolen by these highly unethical, arrogant
and publicly deceptive Society officials that is likely or to be expected
missing now.
I trust this information is of assistance to you.

Mr. Peter Maher
Chief Executive Officer
St.Vincent De Paul Society State Council Queensland

I wish to re
iterate the concerns I expressed at State Council meeting June 28 regarding the
recent directive given to our Solicitors to instigate legal action against
Ozcare by way of a letter of demand, to hand back our previously owned and
operated facilities. As a member of State Council Board, my understanding of the
situation was that our Solicitors had primarily been engaged to investigate the
matter of legal implication, and requirements necessary to recover these
facilities.
This would involve a process of compiling, packaging, and
analysing a wide range and scope of historical documentation which we organised
for them.

It also included meetings and consultation with The Catholic
Bishops of Queensland, members of the National Council and other various parties
etc.

Our Solicitors were to then analyse this information and produce a
Report for State Council, accompanied with a list of recommendations for our
assessment and analysis.

When you announced at our meeting that a letter
of demand had already been served, and that we had received a response back from
the Ozcare Solicitors,

I immediately expressed my concerns that this had
been a significant and decisive step, and that the full Council should have been
informed and furthermore involved in the final decision of this action.
I
then asked who had authorised this action, and the answers from the floor were
given that Council had previously agreed to a motion that we would engage our
Solicitors "to look into the matter of taking back the facilities from Ozcare
and to follow their recommendations as such"

As a director on this Board
I believe that I am expected to act within the roles of responsibility,
accountability, duty of care, and to act with due diligence.
We have now been
advised that a major action has been instigated which no doubt will add
significant outcomes and ramifications to our organisation; for better or for
worse. Neither myself nor (as I assume) other members of this Board, have been
consulted with on this matter, nor were we issued with a copy of the Solicitors
Report and briefings. In conclusion we did not get the opportunity to
participate in a thorough evaluation and debate to assist our Board to formulate
an informed decision on such a major issue. This recent happening concerns me
greatly, and as a result of this I hereby wish to officially place on the
record, this notice to State Council; based on the grounds that I have not been
kept updated and adequately informed on these matters, and that because
pertinent information had not been forwarded to me for my perusal prior to this
decision "I neither agree with nor support this action of a 'Letter of Demand'
which was served against Ozcare."

Yours fraternally

Michael J
Reidy

Vinnies'
assets fear
Michael McKinnon

St Vincent de Paul's Queensland branch
is said to have illegally handed over more than $130 million in assets to a
private company outside the charity's control.
The society is seeking legal
advice after retired barrister Jack Williams, a St Vincent de Paul's MEMBER,
questioned the legality of the 1996 deal to transfer the assets.
Society
members were told at the time that putting its hostels, aged-care facilities and
respite centres into a separate company would enable it to meet demands for
"greater professionalism in terms of accountability, efficiency and proper
management".
The new body, St Vincent's community services, was registered in
January 1996. Its name was changed to Ozcare on July I, 2003. Corporate
documents show 0zcare had net assets of $118 million, cash reserves of $24
million and retained profits of $52 million June 30 last year.
The society
told the Australian yesterday it was not aware of any funds that had been
returned to the main body.
MR WILLIAMS CALLED ON OZCARE TO RETURN ALL CASH TO
THE SOCIETY "these assets were donated by generations of Queenslanders for
charity, not to be held in some effectively private company with absolutely
no links to the society," he said "the transfer of assets in 1996 was definitely
against the constitution of the society and is therefore illegal- all of those
assets and cash should be returned."
Brother Bill McMahon, former head
of the society in the northern territory, said he HAD WARNED the society's
national council after the 1996 deal that the TRANSFER HAD OCCURRED OUTSIDE THE
POWERS OF THE STATE COUNCIL.
St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president
Michael McKeown said the issues raised by Mr Williams were of "great concern" to
the branch.
"It has been referred to the society's legal advisers who have
been instructed to review this situation very carefully," he said. "in this
process, there will be issues that will be taken up with Ozcare and until those
issues are pursued and raised with Ozcare it is inappropriate to make
further comment at this particular time." an Ozcare spokesman said it was
surprised by the allegations and unaware of any illegality about the
transfer of assets.
Ozcare chief executive Brian Lenz said he bad
referred the issue to
solicitors.

Comment: We are concerned citizens
of Cairns, Queensland. We have contacted every Australian media source without
even a response from most regarding the Queensland charity St Vincent de Paul's
bullying of volunteers and paid staff with some contemplating suicide and others
having nervous breakdowns. The society gave away illegally $130 million dollars
that now finances Ozcare a separate entity from the society.
This money was
donated by generations of Queenslanders to the poor not to finance a separate
business like Ozcare. Yet your programme recently exposed a dangerous Christian
group or church that we feel has not done as much damage to individuals as
Queensland St Vincent de Paul have.
Why will your programme not touch these
appalling issues we are prepared to disclose?

We ask is this because it
is a Catholic charity we want you to expose.

Sincerely

Jim
Tierney
