he=20 informed us he will not be taking any action against Jerry McAuliffe and = his ceo=20 Peter Maher.

These two thieves removed gym equipment belonging = to the=20 Australian Federal Police [TAX PAYERS MONEY] stored in Vinnies Gym by a = Federal=20 Police officer.
This Federal Police officer was not quick enough to = remove=20 it before Jerry McAuliffe in his haste to close Vinnies Gym removed it = along=20 with all the conditional donated equipment and personal property = belonging to=20 citizens of Cairns.
If this is not seen by the ABC as crimal abuse of = power=20 then we in Cairns are wasting our time thinking the media is honest or = for that=20 matter even cares!
All this evidence and information can be confirmed = by=20 Cairns Bishop James Foley.
It was Bishop James Foley that asked = Jerry=20 McAuliffe to return all the equipment he removed from Vinnies Gym to a = property=20 belonging to the Catholic Church so the rightful owners could retrieve = property=20 belonging to them.

This request to Jerry McAuliffe was after a = meeting=20 Jim Tierney had with Bishop James Foley telling the Bishop of the = Fereral Police=20 gym equipment stolen along with personal property belonging to citizens = of=20 Cairns.

Subject:=20 Ozcare

Peter,

A few points I consider I should = contribute=20 towards this debate:

* At last State Council meeting I can recall = saying=20 I considered Mick had a point when he was concerned re legal action not = having=20 the sanction of the full State Council.

My reason for saying = this=20 relates to concerns if minutes were to be subpoenaed by a court at a = future date=20 and the legal action could be deemed to be invalid.
I don't have any = legal=20 advice on this, it was merely a concern.
* From my recollection, = Maurie then=20 weighed in and had a motion passed with words to the effect that State = Council=20 now supported the action and a vote of thanks was moved to those who had = been=20 working so hard on the Ozcare issue. I stand corrected if my = recollections are=20 not exact as they are made without the benefit of minutes of the = meeting. I=20 guess this motion now at least places the action in minutes of a State = Council=20 meeting. As far as I am aware, there were no dissenters when the motion = was=20 put.
* I do not appear to have any official minutes of the = teleconference=20 15/2/05. However, my handwritten notes indicate that a legal challenge = may not=20 have been one of the nine stratagies outlined in your e-mail of Sunday = 5/6/2005.=20

I agree that the other stratagies listed were discussed and am = aware=20 from the last State Council meeting that number 9 (letter to all = Vincentians) is=20 still being worked on.
* My notes indicate that at the time of the=20 teleconference a legal challenge was still "On the table" but that there = may=20 have been a way to comeup with some process that all parties would be = happy=20 with. The notes further indicate that this could be a staged strategy = and it was=20 after this wording that the stratagies outlined in your e-mail were = detailed=20 (with the exception of the legal challenge). It could well be argued = that=20 because the
legal challenge was deemed still "On the table" that it = was one=20 of the stratagies.

As, stated, these are merely handwritten = notes taken=20 during the teleconference and I stand corrected if they do not agree = with=20 official
minutes.
* My notes also indicate that, following the=20 teleconference, further short up-dates would be = forthcoming.

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FAR NORTHERN REGION

11 = March=20 2008.

Dear Mr A C HENDERSON ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

I = refer to=20 your correspondence of 7 March 2008 they are not allegations we are = making=20 against Inspector Ian Swan and we find it offensive by you continually = stating=20 they are only allegations. As I have stated before no other police = officer other=20 than Detective Sheridan Heaton was in that room with us and I can prove = exactly=20 what was said in that room Ian Swan cannot. What relevance is it to my = wife and=20 me what rank, what branch, what type of police officer you say = investigated what=20 was said in that room.

The whole of Australia knows you do not = give up=20 your own; ask Inspector Ian Swan would he be willing to take a lie = detective=20 test with us?

Mr A C HENDERSON why in the name of Inspector Ian = Swans=E2=80=99=20 GOD would we ever trust his advice or indeed his word?

It has = now been=20 proven to my wife and me what we have only heard in the past regarding = the=20 Queensland police.
In our humble opinion nothing has changed in = Queensland=20 police service since Terry Lewis was arrested and Sir Joh ran the whole = of=20 Queensland including Queensland police service.
Now with regard to = you saying=20 you have been informed =E2=80=9Cwe refused to sign a release = document=E2=80=9D how dare you=20 repeat this lie in the position you hold?
We now demand you ask = Cairns=20 Bishop James Foley what we REALLY WERE ASKED TO SIGN seeing only = Catholics are=20 believe in this Catholic State.
We were asked to sign an AS IS = DOCUMENT not=20 a release document if you are going to repeat something to us in your = official=20 position make sure of the FACTS Sir, McAuliffe the same man I informed = you=20 PERSONALLY of - is the same lying individual that stood by while women = were=20 bullied to the point of suicide and nervous breakdowns these were = Catholic women=20 Sir.
I have sent to you personally, [with your name on them] copies = of emails=20 confirming to you that both lying McAuliffe, and society ceo Peter = Maher, were=20 and still are conspiring to alter the minutes of a Board of directors = meeting=20 [that my wife was part of] regarding the STOLEN $130 million dollars = that was=20 given away illegally by these good Catholics to finance Ozcare. =
Ozcare is a=20 private entity that returns nothing back to the poor in Cairns yet you = as a=20 senior Queensland police officer see this as acceptable?
I note also = in your=20 correspondence to us you never advised us what advice we give the = citizens of=20 Cairns whose property was also stolen by these highly unethical, = arrogant and=20 publicly deceptive Society officials.
Shall we tell them to write to = you=20 personally?

And finally it seems it must have slipped your mind, = we also=20 asked you for advice regarding the property belonging to the Australian = Federal=20 Police that I also informed you personally of.
Remember McAuliffe = and ceo=20 Maher stole equipment belonging to the Australian Federal Police that = was stored=20 in Vinnies Gym.
Hence my reason for me not signing Jerry = McAuliffe=E2=80=99s AS IS=20 DOCUMENT not A RELEASE DOCUMENT that you have been incorrectly informed = about.=20
Sir, you in your position may trust Queensland laws we humble = citizens of=20 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=20 DOCUMENT when it involves the Australian Federal Police equipment that = is likely=20 or to be expected missing like the Cairns Kitchen that the ALH group = paid $6,000=20 for.
That the untouchable society Mr "Life is Tough" Peter Maher = said he=20 paid for.
And like the enormous amount stolen from the poor again in=20 Queensland of $200,000 missing from the Gold Coast society branch this = is of=20 course only the conservative figure for a public strategy exercise by = the=20 thieves my wife and me understand it was a lot more.

So Mr A C = HENDERSON=20 ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER
FAR NORTHERN REGION
If you see this as not = a=20 Queensland state police issue which is what it appears to us humble = citizens can=20 you advice us who do we report this stolen property issue too?
As = some=20 Cairns citizens we understand know the name of the police officer = involved in=20 the initial removal of the Australian Federal Police GYM EQUIPMENT, = before it=20 was stored in Vinnies Gym and finally stolen by these highly unethical, = arrogant=20 and publicly deceptive Society officials that is likely or to be = expected=20 missing now.
I trust this information is of assistance to = you.

Mr. Peter Maher
Chief Executive = Officer=20 St.Vincent De Paul Society State Council Queensland

I wish to = re=20 iterate the concerns I expressed at State Council meeting June 28 = regarding the=20 recent directive given to our Solicitors to instigate legal action = against=20 Ozcare by way of a letter of demand, to hand back our previously owned = and=20 operated facilities. As a member of State Council Board, my = understanding of the=20 situation was that our Solicitors had primarily been engaged to = investigate the=20 matter of legal implication, and requirements necessary to recover these = facilities.
This would involve a process of compiling, packaging, = and=20 analysing a wide range and scope of historical documentation which we = organised=20 for them.

It also included meetings and consultation with The = Catholic=20 Bishops of Queensland, members of the National Council and other various = parties=20 etc.

Our Solicitors were to then analyse this information and = produce a=20 Report for State Council, accompanied with a list of recommendations for = our=20 assessment and analysis.

When you announced at our meeting that a = letter=20 of demand had already been served, and that we had received a response = back from=20 the Ozcare Solicitors,

I immediately expressed my concerns that = this had=20 been a significant and decisive step, and that the full Council should = have been=20 informed and furthermore involved in the final decision of this = action.
I=20 then asked who had authorised this action, and the answers from the = floor were=20 given that Council had previously agreed to a motion that we would = engage our=20 Solicitors "to look into the matter of taking back the facilities from = Ozcare=20 and to follow their recommendations as such"

As a director on = this Board=20 I believe that I am expected to act within the roles of responsibility,=20 accountability, duty of care, and to act with due diligence.
We have = now been=20 advised that a major action has been instigated which no doubt will add=20 significant outcomes and ramifications to our organisation; for better = or for=20 worse. Neither myself nor (as I assume) other members of this Board, = have been=20 consulted with on this matter, nor were we issued with a copy of the = Solicitors=20 Report and briefings. In conclusion we did not get the opportunity to=20 participate in a thorough evaluation and debate to assist our Board to = formulate=20 an informed decision on such a major issue. This recent happening = concerns me=20 greatly, and as a result of this I hereby wish to officially place on = the=20 record, this notice to State Council; based on the grounds that I have = not been=20 kept updated and adequately informed on these matters, and that because=20 pertinent information had not been forwarded to me for my perusal prior = to this=20 decision "I neither agree with nor support this action of a 'Letter of = Demand'=20 which was served against Ozcare."

Vinnies'=20 assets fear
Michael McKinnon

St Vincent de Paul's Queensland = branch=20 is said to have illegally handed over more than $130 million in assets = to a=20 private company outside the charity's control.
The society is seeking = legal=20 advice after retired barrister Jack Williams, a St Vincent de Paul's = MEMBER,=20 questioned the legality of the 1996 deal to transfer the = assets.
Society=20 members were told at the time that putting its hostels, aged-care = facilities and=20 respite centres into a separate company would enable it to meet demands = for=20 "greater professionalism in terms of accountability, efficiency and = proper=20 management".
The new body, St Vincent's community services, was = registered in=20 January 1996. Its name was changed to Ozcare on July I, 2003. Corporate=20 documents show 0zcare had net assets of $118 million, cash reserves of = $24=20 million and retained profits of $52 million June 30 last year.
The = society=20 told the Australian yesterday it was not aware of any funds that had = been=20 returned to the main body.
MR WILLIAMS CALLED ON OZCARE TO RETURN ALL = CASH TO=20 THE SOCIETY "these assets were donated by generations of Queenslanders = for=20 charity, not to be held in some effectively private company with = absolutely=20 no links to the society," he said "the transfer of assets in 1996 was = definitely=20 against the constitution of the society and is therefore illegal- all of = those=20 assets and cash should be returned."
Brother Bill McMahon, = former head=20 of the society in the northern territory, said he HAD WARNED the = society's=20 national council after the 1996 deal that the TRANSFER HAD OCCURRED = OUTSIDE THE=20 POWERS OF THE STATE COUNCIL.
St Vincent de Paul society Queensland = president=20 Michael McKeown said the issues raised by Mr Williams were of "great = concern" to=20 the branch.
"It has been referred to the society's legal advisers who = have=20 been instructed to review this situation very carefully," he said. "in = this=20 process, there will be issues that will be taken up with Ozcare and = until those=20 issues are pursued and raised with Ozcare it is inappropriate to = make=20 further comment at this particular time." an Ozcare spokesman said it = was=20 surprised by the allegations and unaware of any illegality about = the=20 transfer of assets.
Ozcare chief executive Brian Lenz said he bad=20 referred the issue to=20 solicitors.

Comment: We are concerned = citizens=20 of Cairns, Queensland. We have contacted every Australian media source = without=20 even a response from most regarding the Queensland charity St Vincent de = Paul's=20 bullying of volunteers and paid staff with some contemplating suicide = and others=20 having nervous breakdowns. The society gave away illegally $130 million = dollars=20 that now finances Ozcare a separate entity from the society.
This = money was=20 donated by generations of Queenslanders to the poor not to finance a = separate=20 business like Ozcare. Yet your programme recently exposed a dangerous = Christian=20 group or church that we feel has not done as much damage to individuals = as=20 Queensland St Vincent de Paul have.
Why will your programme not = touch these=20 appalling issues we are prepared to disclose?
