WHY DO I NEED TO GET LEGAL ADVICE Senior Policy Advisor
Mr. Michael Todd can you not read?
How can you people have the audacity to tell me I should seek legal advise,
the Labor ministers have started falling in NSW because they thought they
were like you lot untouchable, you have the nerve to call ministers "THE
HONOURABLE you Labor people do not know what the word honour means!
 I have informed you people about bullying from St Vincent de Paul
OFFICIALS to such an extent one victim contemplated suicide - another young
lady was bullied so much she is still getting treated after she resigned -
I was slandered by the St Vincent de Paul ceo Maher that gets his legal
fees paid from donated money for the poor - and YOU HAVE the CHEEK to tell
me I need legal advise.
 Because I have informed all you so called MEN you all have the knowledge
that WOMEN were bullied by some FEMALE and so called - men from the thieves
that go by the name of the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
 The BOSS BULLY is Cairns Administrator named Maree Fell, it has been
stated this FEMALE BULLY has stolen huge amounts of money by a long time
member of this secret society a man named Bernie Gough just like her peer
on the Sunshine Coast, yet she is still driving around in a flash free car
free petrol all paid for by the poor donations – the Qld director of WPH&S
sent all my documents back to me without even a note no mention of who sent
it back to me- I have asked for my property back that I left in the Cairns
WPH&S individuals office [LAMB], just who do you people think you are?
 You should hold your heads in shame fancy men knowing women are getting
bullied and doing and saying nothing you are not men and you are most
certainly not honourable.
 So I suppose this will get answered by another individual instead of you
SENIOR POLICY ADVISOR Mr Michael Todd.
 GET ME THE ANSWERS WE HAVE ASKED FOR FROM SPENCE, PITT,
QLD DIRECTOR OF WPH&S.
 SHOW ME AT LEAST ONE OF YOU LOT IS A PROPER MAN.

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ASK PITT - HE UNDERSTANDS FULLY WHAT I MEAN
ONE DAY IT MIGHT BE SOMEONE BELONGING TO ONE OF YOUR LOT.

YOU ALL DISGUST ME SO WHY DO I NEED LAWYERS?

The matters you raise fall under State and local government

 Judith Tierney

Holloways Beach
Qld. 4878

Dear Sir/Madam
My professional life was spent in Nursing, my last position being as a
Deputy Director of Nursing at a Psychiatric hospital. My career was ended
by an accident at work involving neck and back injuries while travelling as
an escort in an Ambulance. I was eventually retired on medical grounds.
I began working as a volunteer for St Vincent de Paul approximately 10
years ago.
I have worked as a store volunteer, store co-ordinator, Diocesan President
and State Vice President.
This may seem a very complex issue, but when the whole picture is
considered it can easily be followed.
My husband donated the equipment that makes up Vinnies gym; he is also the
advisor/consultant to the Society on such matters.
The administrator Maree Fell went to the gym while my husband was there and
asked him if he would write her a personal programme and train her when
they both knew the gym would be empty, and also asked him to provide her
with the weight loss drugs used by me because of her weight.
This is certainly not true and my husband refused.
 This I believe to be the catalyst of the vendetta that has been directed
at me by the administrator Maree Fell. Other volunteers and staff members
have been subjected to bullying by this administrator.
Shortly after beginning voluntary work for the Society, it became obvious
to me that valuable items were being sold at very low prices or went
missing.
 Because of my time and work while my husband and I were in England, I have
knowledge and experience within the antique trade.
Some 4 years ago, with the full support of other volunteers and the then
administration, I began a project I named Old Wares & Collectables.
This involved the collection of any suitable items that had been donated.
Volunteers assisted me by putting aside any item they thought may be
suitable, but even with many requests that was the extent of the assistance
I received.
All collected items of china and glass were put through my dishwasher,
linen and such were soaked, washed and ironed, silver and metal items
cleaned by me in my home using my products and white goods.
These sales each year realised the Society a considerable amount of money
for use within its primary objective of assisting the disadvantaged and
poor.
Early on Thursday April 07 2005, my husband opened an e-mail informing me
of the date when the next and last Old Wares sale would occur.
This e-mail was the result of a Stores co-ordinators meeting held on the 06
April 2005.
The minutes of that meeting state that all volunteers were in agreement
with this decision.
 The Diocesan President McAuliffe was also there.
THE SOCIETY BEING A VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION MUST ALWAYS BE CONTROLLED BY
VOLUNTARY PEOPLE.
What was not documented at this meeting was the fact the administrator
Maree Fell had previously told volunteers that I no longer wished to
continue with this project.
This was a complete lie.
Several volunteers rang me after they realised what had actually happened,
one so upset she could hardly be understood on the phone. When my husband
eventually showed me this e-mail, I became so upset, distressed and
distraught that I required medical attention, which is ongoing.
My husband was so concerned about me and the incident itself that he sent
an e-mail to the CEO Peter Maher and the State President Mike McKeown, of
which I have copies, and rang Vice President John Campbell, the response
from all was nothing.
My husband tried to ring a friend of ours Dr Jeff Taylor who is a
Psychiatrist for advice, but was unable to contact him so he sent him an
e-mail.
Dr Taylor rang the next day and spoke with me. He asked me to promise him I
would not do myself any harm.
LATER I WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE OF THE SOCIETY TO MY
HUSBAND.
The nominated person for contact is Senior Vice President Maurie Kelly.
Around this time Mr Kelly was visiting Cairns on another matter concerning
the same administrator.
 While here I spoke to him and he said I should have been invited to the
meeting if only for the discussion on this topic.
Since this happened, several avenues within the Society that other people
have access to have been denied me by Maree Fell.
 Firstly, the Conference to which I belong nominated me to be a second
co-ordinator within the store associated to it.
The administrator Maree Fell phoned a member of this Conference and said
only one co-ordinator per shop so I couldn’t do it.
THERE IS ALREADY ONE SHOP THAT HAS TWO CO-ORDINATORS AND HAS DONE FOR A
LONG TIME. THE SOCIETY BEING A VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION MUST ALWAYS BE
CONTROLLED BY VOLUNTARY PEOPLE.
SECONDLY SHE SAID I COULD NOT BE A CO-ORDINATOR AND A CONFERENCE VICE
PRESIDENT.
The Society’s main store had the same person as Conference president and is
still the store co-ordinator.
I have been told by the depot manager Ray and some store voluntary workers
have been told I am not welcome in these places.
Several volunteers have told me the days they will be working and to come
and visit’s I find these continual attitudes towards me to be offensive,
intimidating and humiliating.
My health and family life are severely affected, particularly as my husband
suffers from PTSD, any more mental stress that affects me, automatically
has an affect on him as I am his official carer.
I felt it necessary for me to resign as State Vice President and now have
little to do with the Society.
 Yours truly,

 If you follow the course of your predecessor we have no Leaders for

 I blew the whistle on the Society of St Vincent de Paul Officials and have
been crucified since by Labor Ministers- and we know how Labor ministers do
as they are told by the Catholic Church.
 I am a Catholic but I have principles and I am accountable to a higher

 We have had enough from these government ministers treating us as fools so
I will send a copy of this Email to you to

For the attention of Mr. Rob Whiddon not for the attention of  Mr Michael
Todd                           Chief of Staff

Dear Rob Whiddon
As we both know you are continually putting us on the political conveyer
belt just getting sent from one department to another.
Having our specific questions to specific government ministers getting
further and further away from us, in fact they are certainly not
accountable to us victims now.
So Mr. Rob Whidden I will start again this is for Minister Judy Spence MP.
 1. If it is all above board to do what this [Qld police Inspector Ian
Swan] cop's wife does and the Administrator of Cairns St Vincent de Paul
Maree Fell demanded a volunteer to do- in front of witnesses can we do it
with the same impunity?
 2. Why do we have witnessed statutory declarations if Qld police Inspector
Ian Swan said “Anyone can write anything on them, they are not worth the
paper they are written on”.
 Minister Pitt just thanks me for sending him emails but just continually
ignores to answer and be accountable too all the victims of St Vincent de
Paul in his community.
This minister without any consultation with my wife and me publicly
slandered the years of work we did as volunteers for these thieves /
bullies and in doing so, gave his approval to the lies McAuliffe St Vincent
de Paul FNQ diocesan president gave to Mr Pitt's community of why he closed
Vinnies Gym.
When everyone knows he and his bully St Vincent de Paul friends closed it
because I blew the whistle on them.
QLD WPH&Saftey director has just ignored us victims and let these
individuals do as they wish.
 So again via you Mr. Rob Whidden this has nothing to do with a personal
dispute between me and Vinnies Gym in Cairns.
Mr. Premier Can you tell us

WHEN DOES SIGNING ANOTHER PERSONS SIGNATURE FOR ANY REASON BECOME ILLEGAL?
And could you get your ministers to administer to us victims of St Vincent
de Paul officials.

Thank You

Jim Tierney

This is for the attention of Mr. Michael Todd.

IF AFTER YOU READ AGAIN THE INFORMATION I HAVE PROVIDED AND YOU ADVISE THAT
I MIGHT - CARE TO SEEK MY OWN LEGAL ADVISE IN RELATION TO YOUR CONCERNS I
WILL ASK  Her Excellency - Ms Quentin Bryce, AC Governor of Queensland WHY
YOUR ADVISE IS NONSENSE.

Dear Mr. Michael Todd
Senior Policy Advisor

Which one of you Advisors decided it was only a dispute with Vinnies Gym in
Cairns and me?
“Unfortunately, the Premier is unable to be of assistance to you in this
matter other than to suggest that you might care to seek your own legal
advice in relation to your concerns”.

Why do I need to seek any advice - never mind my own legal advice when
requesting Qld Ministers to respond to issues they are getting paid to look
after?

Are you Mr Michael Todd - Senior Policy Advisor responding to the same
issues as me?

And if you are - can you explain what you are talking about advising me
seeking legal advice.

I NEED ANSWERS FROM ELECTED QLD GOVERNMENT MINISTERS I DO NOT NEED LEGAL
ADVICE!!!!

 As I have asked Qld Premier Mr. Peter Beatie to answer my questions that
none of his ministers will answer.
What has your response have to do with same issues MR. Michael Todd?

My concerns are with Qld Government Ministers QLD WPH& S department-
I have asked for responses on numerous times from Qld police minister
Judy Spence.
I have asked for responses on numerous times from Qld Communities minister
Warren Pitt.
I have asked on numerous times for the Director of Qld WPH&S department to
respond to us victims.

Yet every time our requests are answered by anyone but the appropriate
people so we ask the question of when will the appropriate person be
accountable to us?

Should you not be advising QLD Government Ministers to seek advice I think
you have matters confused dear boy, so I will contact our Governor to
inform her of your advice to me.
And how many more inappropriate individuals will continue to treat us as
fools- we are not fools we will continue to demand that you elected
officials are accountable to us TAX payers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 JUDITH TIERNEY STATES

After the opening of Vinnies Gym in Cairns, several other areas expressed
interest in this project; one in particular was the township of Ravenshoe.

After much discussion with the members of the Cairns Diocesan council and
St Vincent de Paul conference members of the Tablelands, a proposal was
agreed on.

This agreement was for an extra building to be constructed directly behind
the St Vincent de Paul store on land belonging to the Society in Ravenshoe.

Jim Tierney was asked to provide the expertise needed to cover all
requirements of a Fitness Centre. With the input of Jim a plan was drafted,
and I as the then Diocesan President presented this proposal and plan to
the sitting of the Queensland State council.

The State council agreed to make funds to the value of $100,000 available
as required in order to proceed.

With this knowledge Jim went ahead and bought a boxing ring (this was one
thing the local youth had requested), he also obtained a Multi exercise
pin-weight unit.

The required approval at town council level was obtained; approval again
from the Diocesan council and the local community of Ravenshoe was also
obtained.

The building commenced and accounts were sent to the Diocesan office.

When the council was informed that the building was almost complete myself
and Marc King travelled to Ravenshoe.

The building that we saw had no resemblance in common with the plans that
had been submitted and subsequently approved; it did not now meet town
planning guidelines.

When the local conference members were asked to explain, they said they had
changed their minds about it being a Fitness Centre and now wanted it
called an Activities centre.

The reason given for this change of mind was

“WE DON’T WANT THAT POMMY BASTARD COMING UP HERE TO TELL US WHAT TO DO”

This was all reported to the State council, and as far as I know the
project was halted.

My understanding is now the building is used for storage.

I took my husband to the Cairns department of the anti-discrimination my
husband was advised nothing could be done as he was the wrong
colour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Digital Video Recorders
      On this page, we look at the next generation of video recorders, known as either the PVR (Personal Video Recorder) or DVR (Digital Video Recorder) - Rather than recording TV onto VHS video cassettes, these allow you to record TV programmes onto a hard disk that's built into a set-top box connected to your telly. 

      There are several advantages to this approach - no tapes to rewind, the ability to pause live TV, integrated programme guides, and series recording, plus a lot more storage space than a standard VHS cassette. You can copy programmes down onto video tape or a DVD recorder for archiving, if you wish.

      This page contains information on the range of digital video recorders available in the UK for Freeview and Digital Satellite, helping you work out which is the best PVR for you.

            Podcast Feature: PVR

            FrequencyCast is this site's regular online radio show. We discussed PVRs and the options available in Show 06.

            Listen online at www.frequencycast.co.uk. 

      Choosing a PVR 
      If you're looking to replace your video cassette recorder with a digital hard-disk recorder, here are some options to look for when selecting a PVR: 

        a.. Twin tuner - Typically allows you to record one digital channel whilst watching another digital channel. 
        b.. EPG - Electronic Programme Guide (an on-screen TV listings service for easy selection of shows to record) - Look for something with at least a 7 day EPG 
        c.. Disk size - PVRs have different sized hard-disks. If you're likely to record and store a lot of shows, consider a box with a larger drive 
        d.. Series Link - Set-and-forget option to mark a favourite show to record future episodes in sequence on the same channel 

      The Sky+ Electronic Programme Guide

      PVR Digital Recorders
      There are a lot of recorders out there on the market. The following table lists all of the major UK models currently available, but are some of our best buys:

            Box Why should you buy? 
            Sky+  The mother of all PVRs - a must for Sky Digital satellite customers, and recently voted Best PVR by a leading consumer magazine.

      Using your PC:

            If you've already got a PC, why not use it to record TV programmes onto your hard-disk? 
            It's a lot cheaper than buying a set-top box hard-disk recorder, and gives you more flexibility to edit recordings, burn them onto a DVD, or copy TV shows off to a portable video player, such as the Creative Vision:M.

            Watch TV in a resizeable window on your PC screen, record to hard-disk, pause live TV, schedule your TV watching and recording and create Microsoft AVI or MPG movies. 
            The most common solutions come from Hauppauge, and are available either as a PCI card (that fits into a PCI slot inside your PC), or a USB device to plug into your PC.

            PC-based PVR receivers are available from Dabs.com , PC World, Maplin, and Amazon. 

            For more on getting TV and video on your PC, see our TV on your PC page

      PVR FAQ
      Some general questions asked by our visitors

            Sky PVR A message from site visitor Edward Yates: "Are there any DVD to DVD disc recorders or DVD/Hard disc type recorders available that will record programmes from Sky? I have a Sony Bravia TV with built-in Freeview tuner and a Sky set-top box but cannot receive Freeview in my area.".

            Anwser: Most (if not all) DVD recorders can cope with recording via a Line In feed. Sky+ is also great at recording Sky programmes. As for other PVRs that support Sky, we'd love to be able to add a list here. Please add to this thread in our forum

Dear Lee Norris

Senior Policy Advisor   

Maybe if Warren Pitt - Mr Smart - McAuliffe and Society ceo Maher and expert Society money controller and bully Maree Fell and the Complaints department had been as sharp to read the Cairns Post dated on Monday, November 17, 2003 or at least visit Vinnies Gym JUST ONCE.

They may not have so sharp on telling lies re: The reason for McAuliffe closing Vinnies Gym backed up by Pitt, Society conspirator ceo Maher, Mr Smart acceptance of Society conspirator secret conditional response.

We the Society victims and citizens of Cairns would have thought if such a unique project patterned by me was getting used in Cairns then going nation wide in Australia. 

Then the world a community's State minister would have been interested. 

He also would then have known since the whole project still belongs to me that only Tim O'Connor the Society State President at the time of my donation my wife and ME would know what it was set up for. 

Then Society conspirator ceo Maher's friend HOGAN with SIX WHOLE YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A GYM REVIEWER would also have listened when I asked him to educate himself regarding the conditions that went with my donation.

This also may have made the Society conspirator ceo Maher instructing THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors with lies regarding me and vindictive hateful lies about my character. 

But as my mother used to say many many years ago leave them to GOD son.

Unfortunately for this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society ceo Maher and his deceptive unethical colleagues I have been legally advised I can SUE THEM ALL PERSONALLY WHICH I WILL DO.

And we have other articles and items we have not used yet to PROVE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are as described.

St Vinnies gym for at-risk youth a winner

Roz Pulley

A GYMNASIUM for disadvantaged youth in Cairns has proved so successful it may be replicated internationally. The St Vincent de Paul Fitness Centre in Maranoa St - which is open to all, but primarily targets society's homeless and disaffected --- is attracting worldwide attention.

"It's the only one of its kind in the world run by St Vincent De Paul," said northern vice-president Judy Tierney who, together with husband Jim, was instrumental in its establishment after donating all the equipment three years ago. 

"This is the first such venture and is very different to anything to anything St Vincent De Paul has ever done." Ms Tierney said the national president of St Vincent De Paul in Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the gym, after hearing of its success.

 "He wants to take it worldwide."  

A second Australian gym had also been tipped for Logan near Brisbane. Ms Tierney said the fitness centre was changing people's lives.

"The thing that has really, really improved their self-confidence and self-esteem is the boxing.

A lot of people don't like boxing, but it's a very disciplined sport.

"We've had quite a few kids that have gone through various programs, disappeared, then come back and said they've gone back to school, which is really good. 

It is giving them focus,"

The fitness centre employs two qualified instructors and offers classes in weightlifting, bodybuilding, kickboxing, boxing, yoga, martial arts and self defence.

Anti-rape classes are also available.

Ms Tierney said between 600-8000 people visited each month.  

"The idea initially was that it was purely for street kids.

But we now have groups from Endeavour, detox, mental health and special education classes.

Lots of schools also bring in groups." 

Mr Tierney said the inspiration came from his own deprived childhood in Liverpool, England. "When I was 14, I went to a gym for the disadvantaged. 

It was a really rough, hardcore place to go, full of people like myself.

To my knowledge that gym saved hundreds and hundreds of kids from getting involved with drugs."  Mrs Tierney said the gym had received tremendous support from the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group which recently donated nearly $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom.     [ALH GROUP]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fitness gives focus: Kurt Sokolski at St Vincent De Paul Fitness Centre, which targets homeless and disaffected youth. Reports are the gym is changing young people's lives and other centre's in Australia and overseas are interested in replicating the idea. Picture PASCO ROGATO .........................................................

ALH GROUP which recently donated nearly $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom.     

This donation never arrived at Vinnies Gym and Society ceo Maher never bought it as he told Dean Lock he did. He may have it himself but he most certainly did not put his hand in the poor box this time.

Dear Ms Boyle,

The closure of Vinnie's Gym was a deliberate malicious action by the far north St Vincent De 

Paul Society diocesan president Jetty McAuliffe. This action was in response to Jimmy Tierney 

sending to the Prime Minister John Howard four Statutory Declarations.

The Queensland officials of St Vincent de Paul harassed the instructors of Vinnies Gym in an 

attempt to have them falsify the attendees of indigenous people in order to apply for government 

grants. Jimmy Tierney also informed Cairns wph&s of the above now the Director of wph&s in Brisbane is investigating more allegations.

There were numerous community organisations, school groups and others who were not aware of the facilities Jimmy Tierney was making available to Cairns community via Vinnies Gym. This was because Cairns St Vincent de Paul administrator Maree Fell when told by Judy Tierney that all monies she raised with her Old Wares sales she would now contribute towards the children's weekend camps.

Francine was the Cairns St Vincent de Paul youth coordinator. Judy told Francine to note every incident of bullying from Maree Fell, this she did unwillingly. On one occasion Mr. Jerry 

McAuliffe went to Francine she presented him with a detailed account of the bullying she was receiving from Maree Lee Fell, he read the information then returned it back to her, this man did nothing to change Francine's situation, Francine resigned this was also reported to wph&s.

Just before Francine resigned she had arranged for Jimmy to teach all the girls of St Monica's his personally designed Anti-Rape course. Judy informed the Queensland St Vincent de Paul State 

President in Brisbane but no one informed the school.

I requested government support from Minister Warren Pitt but he informed me that he understood that Vinnies Gym was not getting used for the reason it was set up for. How can he or anyone say this as Jimmy Tierney donated all the equipment that went to make up the fitness centre and boxing facility? 

Erected all the fitness centre equipment on his own, set up all the programs and was the official St Vincent de Paul gym's consultant, because this was going to be an international St Vincent de Paul project as requested by the St Vincent de Paul International president General Jose Ramon Diaz-Torremocha.

How can I inform you of these events because after meeting Jimmy and Judy Tierney I told them both I was running from an abusive husband and feared he would find out where I was living. 

Without any hesitation Jimmy told me to come and live with Judy and him until I felt safe which

I did. So we set up THE STABLE FNQ to enable Jimmy to continue the work he started with Vinnies Gym. 

I am sure after reading this ladies its worth assisting Jimmy in any way.

Kind regards,

Mary Triant

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 group decision was made to support the gym situated off Martyn Street.

As a result of our fundraising on the first occasion we paid for the flooring in the boxing ring.

It was a wonderful satisfying experience to be involved in and on visiting the gym we got to meet the staff and a few of the kids training there. I felt a real sense of achievement.

Following the first donation the following year I spoke with Jim and Judy and they let me know that they were building a new kitchen and laundry off the side of the gym.

It was decided that we would focus on raising enough money to equip this extension as much as possible. 

In the end we were able to donate a number of white goods and crockery, cutlery, glassware, appliances, i.e. toasters, kettles and a sack full of various foods, including coffee etc.

From what I have read in the media, I am of the understanding that the gym has closed down and is not going to reopen.

I am just wondering what St Vinnies has done with all the equipment as I have heard that a group is willing to reopen the GYM again and I would think that St Vinnies would want to support another group who is willing; to financially support the homeless and disadvantaged youth in Cairns.

on the first day we toured the gym after donating the boxing ring mat, an employee of  St Vinnies had told us that the, majority of the equipment had been donated by Jim Tierney.

WE THOUGHT THIS WAS WONDERFUL THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD SHOW THAT MUCH FAITH IN A SINGLE COMMUNITY MINDED PROJECT.

Majority of big business in this country wouldn't even make that sort of donation.

so in conclusion I am a little confused that the, majority of the equipment was donated by 

Jim Tierney and the ALH group, but you are not willing to donate the equipment on to a group willing to take over where you left off. Wouldn't it be of benefit to your organisation to assist another group to help the disadvantaged youth when you say are no longer able to?

For the attention of

Lindy Nelson-Carr MP
Minister for Disability Services

It seems the name Tierney is not accepted by any online Labor enquiries what ever I try to transmit the word ERROR soon follows. 

So I will have to revert to this way and maybe we the Cairns community citizens will get a response as to when Society bullys will be charged.

Then the Cairns youth can have THEIR Vinnies Gym equipment given back to them. 

It would have cost this Society a MILLION DOLLARS TO SET IT UP THEMSELVES AND THAT IS JUST THEY EQUIPMENT.

This may be peanuts for the Society as they can give away other donators money to the value of $130 dollars +. 

And not one word from the police or ministers supposed to be community ministers my God I cannot believe I have to do this for people that no one cares for. 

If I took a newspaper from a shop I would have a cop on me before I could read the paper. 

If this extremely valuable equipment belonged to one of you generous advisors or politicians I can only imagine how you would feel. 

That was a silly statement I can only image because none of you would have personally donated so much for the disadvantaged or anyone.

I specified to Tim O'Connor I donated all this equipment to the disadvantaged youth specifically of Cairns. 

So have it returned to them all you have to do is contact Bishop of Cairns JAMES FOLEY 

and he will tell you where to deliver it too. 

However I do want ALL OF IT RETURNED. 

So please do as I the donator ask on behalf of the Cairns disadvantaged.

THANK YOU

JIM TIERNEY

There are numerous others waiting to go to the police if their Community Minister acts like Mr Pitt. 

Interesting times because I can assure anyone that reads this, this Society is not getting away with stealing my many many thousands of dollars worth of equipment from disadvantaged kids in Cairns, I do not care how much it may cost but I will expose them as any decent human being should, we are even more determined to expose them now because every one that should not has covered up for this Society.

McAuliffe is a very very very good friend of Society expert bully Maree fell. 

I confronted these two sanctimonious pious bullys after coming back from Brisbane specifically to keep this expert bully away from Vinnies gym instructors and every one else she bullied in the Society.

It is not a case that I have nothing to say but rather I have on involvement with the organisation or contact with anyone associated with that organisation

On  a personal level I am struggling to cope with my youngest son who has significant mental health issues including severe depression and anxiety complicated by  suffering from Asperger syndrome. 

I think that you know  from your past professional background how demanding that can be on a family and trying to hold down a job. 

On a personal level I injured back at work  and I now have a damaged back with ongoing pain and I also have a heart condition.

I wish you and Jimmy well for the future.

All you Labor politicians may just keep binning my correspondence thinking I am crazy I am disabled not mad, and I find it personally 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 Maher and his deceptive unethical colleagues.

True facts will come out shortly when Qld police commissioner receives more evidence, as we have had it with these disgusting Society St Vincent de Paul officials ceo Peter Maher Cairns administrator Maree Fell, and McAuliffe and their unaccountability to not only their donators but the disadvantaged citizens of Cairns.

This unaccountability even to the Qld community minister and Attorney General have allowed them to steal, bullying individuals that have had to resigned, had nervous breakdowns, and contemplated suicide. 

Given away millions of dollars worth of WEIGHTLIFTING equipment / BOXING equipment to an unnamed aboriginal group.

This equipment was conditionally specifically donated for the disadvantaged youth in Cairns via Timothy O'Connor.

Timothy   [email-masked]     

When Society volunteers and paid staff exposed harassment, bullying, stealing to the entire WORLD including Qld WPH&Saftey Director, and Cairns Regional Manager Steve Lamb YEARS AGO Society victims still have no response from Qld WPH&Saftey. Or the police after the police are informed.

 Please do not send these victims numerous other departments names and contacts saying you are not the appropriate department as they have been on numerous Labor political merry - go - round so many times before. Numerous Cairns youths have been trying to see their political representative with no response.

Thank You

And as our newly elected minister I am sure it would be to your advantage to be given this information before it blows up in every ones face.

 Yours sincerely

Dear Colleagues

Jim Tierney - Vinnies Fitness Centre

We act on behalf of St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland ('the Society'). Our client has provided us with a copy of your letter of 12 August 2005 directed to the Chief Executive Officer, Peter Maher and has requested that we respond on its behalf. Mr Maher denies having discussed with your client's wife an allegation that your client had "king hit" someone at a boxing tournament.

The Society is aware that your client claims to be a licensed boxing trainer. However as your client has failed (despite request) to produce a copy of his license, the Society has not been able to verify this claim. Your client is not to be involved in the provision of any boxing training at the fitness centre until a current license has been sighted and appropriate insurance coverage has been arranged.

Whilst the Society is aware that your client donated a number of items of gymnasium equipment to the fitness centre, it had no knowledge that your client's donation was made upon a conditional basis. In any event, the Society has not yet made any decisions on the future operation of the fitness centre at this point in time.

We are instructed that your client has not been requested to provide any details of attendance of indigenous youth at the fitness centre. The Society recognises that your client is a volunteer at the fitness centre, and as such he is not responsible for the administrative operation of the fitness centre. 

Accordingly, the Society does not accept that any allegations made against your client were motivated by your client refusing to provide information in this respect.

We respond to the numbered paragraphs in your letter in keeping with the numbering you have used:

(a) Neither the Society nor Mr Maher are prepared to provide your client with any absolute a "assurance"  that any allegations of misconduct levelled against him will not be repeated. 

 

Such matters are of legitimate concern to the Society given that your client is, or was, a volunteer with the Society.

(b) A copy of the Society's letter of 10 June 2005 to your client is attached.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Briton Legal Services Commissioner ...On my reading, these words infer that the St Vincent de Paul Society (the Society) has made previous requests to see Mr Tierney's licence. 

I understand that in making this statement, Thynne & McCartney would have been acting on the instructions of their clients, the Society. (Society CEO Maher).

I appreciate Mr Tierney's circumstances and respect his opinion that the statement was intentionally false.

I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health.

Mr Understand Pitt... I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group"

MEMBER for Mulgrave Warren Pitt has defended his decision to provide a character reference for a convicted drug trafficker who was jailed recently.

Mr Pitt says the written reference he provided to Cairns Supreme Court for amphetamines trafficker Jason Wayne Maitland of Edmonton was not a show of support for his actions. "I provided a reference for Jason so that the court was aware of some of his better qualities," Mr Pitt said. Maitland, 43, sold $10,300 worth of ecstasy, methamphetamine and LSD to an undercover policeman at his Portsmith work shed from July to December 2004. Last Friday Justice Stanley Jones sentenced him to three years' jail with eligibility for parole after six months.

Mr Pitt said he had known Maitland and his family "for many years" and acknowledged the trafficker committed serious crimes for which he was now paying. "I want to be clear - providing a reference should not be construed as condoning the offence." He said he had provided hundreds of references for his constituents since becoming the local member 17 years ago.

Dob in women-bashers: MP

DOBBING in mates who were violent was not un-Australian, Communities Minister Warren Pitt told a Cairns gathering yesterday in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day." If you do know something don't remain silent," the Mulgrave MP urged those who turned out at the Centre of Contemporary Arts to jointly call for an end to violence against women. "It is not un- Australian to report something like that. This business of not dobbing in your mates can go too too far." Mr Pitt also said that far from being weak for men to stand up and say they had an anger problem, it showed great strength to recognise such a thing and do something. Queensland police officers, who often see lives lost and destroyed because of domestic violence, supported the day by wearing white ribbons yesterday and again today. The day was first introduced in Canada in 1991 after the shooting of 14 female students at the University of Montreal.

ORIGINAL SENT: Sunday, 11 February 2007 8:14 PM

Mr Pitt

Minister for Communities, Disability Services, Seniors and Youth, the victims, of St Vincent de Paul officials, have asked me again to contact you, they have been through another charade. 

This time with the Complaints and Prevention unit [CPU]

The unit you speak of below in your last correspondence to me. 

Like all you ministers this unit had no intention of helping these victims.  

So I will ask you again as the minister for all the above, who do they have to ask for justice, who do they have to contact to defend them? 

Who can these victims report this bullying and harassment TOO!  

WPH&S Cairns regional manager Steve Lamb has totally ignored them, QLD WPH&S director has ignored them TOO! So it looks like it is down to you again to advice these victims. 

Even though they know by your past actions, as you have passed them from one department to another you could not care less about their health, well being ect ect. 

Professor Brian Martin did forewarn them and true to his word - they have been passed from one department to another, in the hope they will just go away.

Mr Pitt these are women bullied to such a degree it has affected their health mentally and physically. 

And all they ask is for you as their appropriate minister to help them. 

Why do you find it so difficult to help them?     

What have these women done to be treated with so much contempt by you? 

["It is not un- Australian to report something like that.]

I make you this promise while these LADIES ask me to speak UP for them I will. 

I will continue to do what ever it is to get justice for these people, what I cannot understand is why you, and all the MEN after seeing all the evidence against these St Vincent de Paul officials are not prepared to stop these bullys of women. 

This is nothing to do with any Church this is plain and simple bullying and harassment of working class people from people who should know better.

I am seeing Bishop James Foley shortly to get him to help these victims.

Francine Kubanek was the Society youth coordinator that was bullied by Society officials Maree Fell and McAuliffe till she had no option but resign.                        

This young lady was taking abused children away on weekend camps with her professional colleagues at their own expense; she made all the arrangements for me to implement my personal Anti-Rape programme in all Cairns schools.

Francine was a pretty SLIM young lady that is why she was bullied to submission by St Vincent de Paul's Maree Fell.

To whom it may concern

For the past 6 weeks I have been participating in an antirape corse with another 7 laddies. It has been fun and enjoyable. I feel that in those 6 week I have learnt so much. Now when I go out with my friends I feel so much safer. I was the youngest in -my class lam only in-grade 8 for me I feel that Jim Terney my instructor explained things really well. I think that this class is from ages -12 and above and I'm glade that I participated.

Courtney Wust

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To whom it my concern

I have just completed a six weeks Anti-Rape course conducted by Jim Tierney. I found this course to be informative and enlightening and it left me feeling confident to deal with a number of situations.

I attended this course with both my daughters and several other women. Our ages ranged from 12 to 62 and everyone of us felt that we got a lot out of this course.

I feel that Mr. Tierney's course should be conducted in our high schools for girls of all ages. Jim tells it how it is, not to frighten or intimidate, but educate you to defend and fight back. I feel that this approach could save your life.

Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Whom It May Concern

I recently attended a six week Anti-Rape Course conducted by Mr Jim Tierney and have no hesitation in recommending this course to all women from high school age to

100 +. 

Mr Tierney delivered the course in a no-nonsense, realistic, "as it is" manner - nothing was sugar-coated.

I am a 55 year old grandmother - the eight participants ranged in age from 12 to 62and I personally had my whole attitude to survival turned completely around, eg I had previously been advised never to resist, but to passively accept, an attack. The most important thing I learned in this course was not only to resist, but to fight back, and with determination, in order to survive.

I believe if girls aged from 12 or 13 had the opportunity to participate in this course, it would benefit them greatly their whole life, as awareness is surely the key.

Sincerely

Christine Forrester Cairns

30th May, 2005

This is to confirm that I was one of 8 Telstra associated women who attended a six-week course recently presented by Mr Jim Tierney.

Of the 8 attendees, I was the eldest of the age-group ranging from 12 years of age to 62 years of age. I am also a former "Wood-Badged" Scout Leader of many years standing.

Having also personally experienced "domestic violence", I consider the skills and basic awareness conveyed by Mr. Tierney to very valuable.

The course is conducted in a "down to earth" manner and proposes simple techniques suitable for implementation by women of any age, height or weight.

In the case of our youngest attendee, parental approval was sought to ensure suitability of the subject matter.

FIRST STRIKE MUAY THAI KICKBOXING CAIRNS

To Whom It May Concern,

In reference to Jim Tierney we at First Strike have always known him to be supportive & encouraging in all aspects of boxing or martial arts. 

My students have been fortunate with Jim's life experiences and knowledge especially regarding injury prevention that keeps us strong physically and mentally.

He always finds the time to help young students & has always been right behind us in any undertakings we as a kickboxing stable have undertaken such as our successful fight nights at various Cairns locations. 

Jim has a unique ability using boxing skills and knowledge to enhance the self-esteem of the young people in Cairns that suffer from mental illness or simply come from dysfunctional or poor families.

Without Jim's unwavering help First Strike Cairns would not be operating so for this we owe him everything.

Regards & respects

Remember, the Vinnies Gym is centrally located and provides an air-conditioned room with floor mats for your comfort.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr understand.. that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group"

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE AWARE ANTI-RAPE COURSE HAS BEEN RUN TWICE AT VINNIES GYM.

First course consisted of 15 (mostly uni students) young women. 12 of these continue to train as a group twice a week.

Second consists of 10 mostly Telstra staff, one has her two daughters with her. 

Ages range from 12 to 62 years. One week to completion.

Francine and Jim spent an entire day at St Monica's College year 10 open day. 

They spent the time speaking with groups regarding the Anti-Rape courses. 

From these talks 97 students and several teachers have indicated they wish to complete the course. This would be during Term 3, which starts on the 4th July.

Listed below are some groups using the Gym:

Gumba Gumba

Endeavour

Cairns Mental Health

Early intervention

Ozcare

St. Augustine's

Tas

Cairns High

Balaclava

Students referred by Catholic Education Social Worker.

Francine Kubanek was the Society youth coordinator that was bullied by Society officials Maree Fell and McAuliffe till she had no option but resign.                        

This young lady was taking abused children away on weekend camps with her professional colleagues at their own expense; she made all the arrangements for me to implement my personal Anti-Rape programme in all Cairns schools.

Francine was a pretty SLIM young lady that is why she was bullied to submission by St Vincent de Paul's Maree Fell.

To whom it may concern

For the past 6 weeks I have been participating in an antirape corse with another 7 laddies. It has been fun and enjoyable. I feel that in those 6 week I have learnt so much. Now when I go out with my friends I feel so much safer. I was the youngest in -my class lam only in-grade 8 for me I feel that Jim Terney my instructor explained things really well. I think that this class is from ages -12 and above and I'm glade that I participated.

To whom it my concern

I have just completed a six weeks Anti-Rape course conducted by Jim Tierney. I found this course to be informative and enlightening and it left me feeling confident to deal with a number of situations.

I attended this course with both my daughters and several other women. Our ages ranged from 12 to 62 and everyone of us felt that we got a lot out of this course.

I feel that Mr. Tierney's course should be conducted in our high schools for girls of all ages. Jim tells it how it is, not to frighten or intimidate, but educate you to defend and fight back. I feel that this approach could save your life.

Thanks

To Whom It May Concern

I recently attended a six week Anti-Rape Course conducted by Mr Jim Tierney and have no hesitation in recommending this course to all women from high school age to

100 +. 

Mr Tierney delivered the course in a no-nonsense, realistic, "as it is" manner - nothing was sugar-coated.

I am a 55 year old grandmother - the eight participants ranged in age from 12 to 62and I personally had my whole attitude to survival turned completely around, eg I had previously been advised never to resist, but to passively accept, an attack. The most important thing I learned in this course was not only to resist, but to fight back, and with determination, in order to survive.

I believe if girls aged from 12 or 13 had the opportunity to participate in this course, it would benefit them greatly their whole life, as awareness is surely the key.

Sincerely

Christine Forrester Cairns

30th May, 2005

This is to confirm that I was one of 8 Telstra associated women who attended a six-week course recently presented by Mr Jim Tierney.

Of the 8 attendees, I was the eldest of the age-group ranging from 12 years of age to 62 years of age. I am also a former "Wood-Badged" Scout Leader of many years standing.

Having also personally experienced "domestic violence", I consider the skills and basic awareness conveyed by Mr. Tierney to very valuable.

The course is conducted in a "down to earth" manner and proposes simple techniques suitable for implementation by women of any age, height or weight.

In the case of our youngest attendee, parental approval was sought to ensure suitability of the subject matter.

FIRST STRIKE MUAY THAI KICKBOXING CAIRNS

To Whom It May Concern,

In reference to Jim Tierney we at First Strike have always known him to be supportive & encouraging in all aspects of boxing or martial arts. 

My students have been fortunate with Jim's life experiences and knowledge especially regarding injury prevention that keeps us strong physically and mentally.

He always finds the time to help young students & has always been right behind us in any undertakings we as a kickboxing stable have undertaken such as our successful fight nights at various Cairns locations. 

Jim has a unique ability using boxing skills and knowledge to enhance the self-esteem of the young people in Cairns that suffer from mental illness or simply come from dysfunctional or poor families.

Without Jim's unwavering help First Strike Cairns would not be operating so for this we owe him everything.

Regards & respects

Mr Pitt

Minister for Communities, Disability Services, Seniors and Youth, the victims, of St Vincent de Paul officials, have asked me again to contact you, they have been through another charade. 

This time with the Complaints and Prevention unit [CPU]. 

The unit you speak of below in your last correspondence to me. 

Like all you ministers this unit had no intention of helping these victims.  

So I will ask you again as the minister for all the above, who do they have to ask for justice, who do they have to contact to defend them? 

Who can these victims report this bullying and harassment TOO!  

WPH&S Cairns regional manager Steve Lamb has totally ignored them, QLD WPH&S director has ignored them TOO! 

So it looks like it is down to you again to advice these victims. 

Even though they know by your past actions, as you have passed them from one department to another you could not care less about their health, well being ect ect. 

Professor Brian Martin did forewarn them and true to his word - they have been passed from one department to another, in the hope they will just go away.

Mr Pitt these are women bullied to such a degree it has affected their health mentally and physically. And all they ask is for you as their appropriate minister to help them. Why do you find it so difficult to help them?     

What have these women done to be treated with so much contempt by you? 

["It is not un- Australian to report something like that.]

I make you this promise while these LADIES ask me to speak UP for them I will. 

I will continue to do what ever it is to get justice for these people, what I cannot understand is why you, and all the MEN after seeing all the evidence against these St Vincent de Paul officials are not prepared to stop these bullys of women. 

This is nothing to do with any Church this is plain and simple bullying and harassment of working class people from people who should know better. 
I am seeing Bishop James Foley shortly to get him to help these victims.

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

Good governance, accountability and especially the total lack transparency by this Society to the its donors like me, the public, and the poor it perpetrates to look after.

Dear All

In my email to you of 12/01/03 I tendered my resignation from the position of chairman of the Qld Rule Review Committee. By now you should have received formal notification from the State President, that I no longer represent the T'ville Diocesan Council and therefore I am no longer a member of State Council. I resigned from the position of T'ville diocesan president ahead of my full term (end of April 2003), as a result of a       

< MEDIATION? > meeting between the T'ville diocesan council and the T'ville regional council held in T'ville on 11/01/03, and chaired by National President John Moore and State President Michael Mckeown as mediators. 

As an advocate of good governance, accountability and transparency at State council meetings during my term on the Council, starting with state council members, to ensure that the good name of the Society of St Vincent de Paul could be upheld at all times and withstand total public scrutiny, 

I wish to fully endorse the sentiments of frustration expressed by John Wiener in his email of 13 January 2003 to all State Council members. 

I do hope that State Council, for the sake of the future of the Society, will have the moral fortitude to take positive action, and not merely make ineffective verbal/ written statements, to guide the society in Qld with full transparency and honesty, for the benefit of the needy as is required under the Rule and as a witness to the pledge the Society gives to its Benefactors when we ask and / or accept their gifts on behalf of the needy.    Good governance  Accountability Transparency not from this Society                        

Yours in Christ                                                                                                                                                                       Sid Brischetto

Dear Lee Norris

Senior Policy Advisor   

Maybe if Warren Pitt - Mr Smart - McAuliffe and Society ceo Maher and expert Society money controller and bully Maree Fell and the Qld Complaints department had been as sharp to read the Cairns Post dated on Monday, November 17, 2003 or at least visit Vinnies Gym JUST ONCE.

They may not have been so sharp on backing McAuliffe's lies for closing Vinnies Gym.

The horror on Warren Pitt's head when I confronted him about him vilifying my wife's unknown 10 years of unpaid volunteer work caring for the mentally ill that people of his ilk would not go near.                     

Mary Triant gave me Pitt's letter to her that Pitt thought Jude and me would never see, hence the horror on Pitt's head when I confronted him because of him vilifying all of us that worked long hours for no pay in Vinnies Gym helping our disadvantaged.

Minister my donation to your Cairns disadvantaged would cost a million dollars to replace in today's money. I did not give it to these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials to discard as they feel fit.

So have these Society officials return every item that I donated and also all the expensive equipment donated by the ALH GROUP for Vinnies Gym not to the personal of this Society.

Many big businesses donated thousands of dollars worth of equipment too they contacted me and told me they want it returned as it also was donated with conditions and the one condition they did not give was it was not for Society ceo Maher or McAuliffe.

WE ALL WANT IT ALL BACK FOR YOUR COMMUNITIES  DISADVANTAGED TO USE AS I HAD ASKED as I was promised by these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials my donation would be used only for YOUR DISADVANTAGED IN CAIRNS. 

It was interesting as recently some of the USA NAVY sailors told me if your countrymen will not return all the donated equipment to them poor kids let us know and we will expose the Society and any named government officials I send them throughout the good old USA.

Now my years of special training of all the Vinnies Gym instructors all this unpaid not like Pitt because "It's the only one of its kind in the world run by St Vincent De Paul - said State Vice-President Judy Tierney who, together with husband Jim, was instrumental in its establishment after donating all the equipment three years ago. 

And everyone including government ministers would not believe me that Vinnies Gym was not and always has not been a one off as ceo Maher wants everyone to believe because I would sack him first.

Then I had to put up with this two bit gym reviewer a very close friend of honest Maher ceo. 

I BET NO ONE SAW OR WILL EVER SEE THE BILL FOR THIS EXPERT FRIEND OF MAHER FOR HIM TO REVIEW ONE GYM HO HO HO.

This two bit gym reviewer could review my WORLD PROJECTS FOR THE 

WORLD"S DISADVANTAGED REQUESTED BY MY FRIEND BELOW

 Le President General   José Ramón Diaz- Torremocha.

Surely any one with the tiniest bit of sense can now read through all this bile splashed at us - Maher -McAuliffe -Maree Fell -Michael McKeon - Society National President......................

HAD NEVER MET OUR FRIEND BEFORE HE CAME TO CAIRNS. 

HE NEVER CAME TO CAIRNS TO SEE ANY OF THIS LOT WHAT COULD THEY GIVE HIM ONLY HOW TO PROVIDE FOR EXPENSIVE MISTRESSES FREE.   

HE WANTED ME TO TAKE MY GYM AND BOXING PROJECTS WORLD WIDE AS

José Ramón Diaz- Torremocha is a good man to the poor.

Then I blew the Whistle on them all to John Howard and every one I could I HAd To GO AND MAHER DID A GOOD JOB ON ME HAVING EVERY ONE BELIEVE EVERY LYING WORDS OR INVISABLE REGISTERED LETTERS.

(despite request) I king hit a child the more I have to write this down the more I would well you gather my drift if it was you. 

Would any of you reading this put your hands in your pocket for the poor as I did?

I know the answer already because of your behaviour towards the mentally ill, poor and disadvantaged in Cairns now.   

Assembling all my donated equipment that made up Vinnies gym a professional weightlifting and bodybuilding gym / a professional boxing gym and I did this ALONE. 

Reasons - not one individual belonging to this deceptive Society had the knowledge or experience or indeed interest in BOXING WEIGHTLIFTING BODYBUILDING.

The only things that interested Society officials in this country was how much money they could use up on their free credit cards on them selves, but in most cases their mistresses. 

Mistresses are a prerequisite for this lot so no one could give the other up its their very effective insurance system.   

Spiritually is popular with these Society officials especially when you can only have your spiritually enhanced in extremely costly hotels all from the deep deep poor box. 

I frightened most of them often when I asked if their spiritually enhancement would still be important if they paid for it themselves.  And they could give me the money for shoes for the shoeless kids as a consequent of having no shoes they could not train without shoes in the gym. I will ask the reader how many shoes you think I received from these spiritualists ZERO yes Zero.                                                                                                                                                        

When USA naval personnel that I knew for the benefit of the reader found out the amount of Australian kids without shoes they supplied me with hundreds of training shoes delivered directly to my home address in Cairns. 

Because they could not believe you people did not care enough for the shoeless kids in Cairns.

IMAGINE the INTERNATIONAL PUBLICLY WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALREADY with having to ask American servicemen and women to supply Australian shoeless kids with shoes so they can train in my donated gym. 

WHILE POLICY ADVISORS LOOKED ON FOR YEARS WITHOUT DOING A THING FOR DISADVANTAGED KIDS - INDEED BACKING UP FOR THESE DOGS OF MEN.

I still keep contact with a great deal of these American service personnel from the USA NAVY. 

Most said they would love to meet the very very reverend vicar McAuliffe that closed Vinnies Gym because he did not like being told he is a QUILT by a man with my physical attributes. 

Quilt is from Liverpool it is a description for poodles like McAuliffe and Society ceo Maher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      

 "This is the first such venture and is very different to anything to anything St Vincent De Paul has ever done." Ms Tierney said the national president of St Vincent De Paul in Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the gym, after hearing of its success.                 "He wants to take it worldwide."  

All my years of training all the Vinnies Gym instructors because of my wife's quote above.

We the Society victims and citizens of Cairns would have thought if such a unique project patterned by me was getting used in Cairns then going nation wide in Australia. Then the world a community's State minister would have been interested. 

He also would then have known since the whole project still belongs to me that only        Tim O'Connor the Society State President at the time of my donation my wife and ME would know what it was set up for. 

Then Society conspirator ceo Maher's friend HOGAN with SIX WHOLE YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A GYM REVIEWER would also have listened when I asked him to educate himself regarding the conditions that went with my donation.

This also may have made the Society conspirator ceo Maher instructing THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors with lies regarding me and vindictive hateful lies about my character. 

But as my mother used to say many many years ago leave them to GOD son.

Unfortunately for this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society ceo Maher and his deceptive unethical colleagues I am taking legal action now.

And we have other articles we have not used yet to PROVE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are as described.

So MinIster give these kids a break and get their property returned to them so I can tell the US NAVY you are a good person not like the last minister.

If what I have already provide you to whom is telling the truth I will flood your office with lots more surprises.

Thank YOU AND DO THE RIGHT THING AS MUCH AS YOU MAY NOT TO EXCEPT IT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER.

THANKING YOU ON BEHALF OF THE POOR IN YOUR COMMUNITY

The Cairns Post newspaper did an article on the Society's empty depot.

So we responded and gave the editor the reason for the empty depot it was never put in the paper of course.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THESE ARE TRUE FACTS AND IT WILL COME OUT WHEN QLD POLICE COMMISSIONER RECEIVES THE EVIDENCE AS WE HAVE HAD THIS DISGUSTING PEOPLE STEALING FROM THE POOR AS WE HOPE YOU DO.

The real reason for the [St Vincent de Paul desperately empty depot] after the Cairns community found out about McAuliffe and Cairns administrator Maree Fell's conspiracy, and bullying of women - Francine Kubanek - Judy Tierney - Rhonda Wallace ect ect-                        

Judy Tierney was a very popular Society Diocesan president and even more popular Society Qld Vice president. 

When the lady volunteers found out what the real McAuliffe and Maher and Fell were like - they did what any decent person would do they abandoned this evil individuals.

Society ceo Peter Maher name is odious in Cairns and donators also realise Society ceo Peter Maher commands these thieves and bullys.                             

We go out of our way to warn people universally of Society ceo Peter Maher moral fibre.

They used one of the Catholic papers here, the Cairns SUN for publicity and were given a whole page. It was a big mistake having Peter O'Shaughnessy on the front page of the Cairns SUN newspaper.

Hopefully the penny will drop after this. 

Peter O'Shaughnessy is the Society's Qld WPH&S representative another reason why Rhonda Wallace and fellow victims were not helped by Qld WPH&S. 

This man started rumours that eventually made Rhonda Wallace resign from the Society. The rumours this man started were Rhonda Wallace is a lesbian and should not work for a Catholic charity. 

This is also the same man that was told to stop playing with his genitals every time he stood in front of any woman. Rhonda Wallace had to put in an official complaint to Cairns administrator Maree fell after asking O'Shaughnessy repeatedly to stop doing this criminal obscene act in front of her. Judy Tierney also put in a official complaint about O'Shaughnessy to Maree Fell after she asked him to stop playing with his genitals while she was seated in her car.

The women wonder if it has any thing to do with Peter O'Shaughnessy being a St Vincent de Paul WPH&S representative. They know this obscene act is unlawful.

The people of Cairns that do not belong to the Catholic Church know now Catholic charities can bully, abuse employees, steal donated money with impunity.                         

See what the Gold Coast Society branch did with their donated money for the poor. $200,000 was the very conservative figure the Society gave the public that was allegedly stolen by a paid worker in the same position Maree Fell holds in Cairns.  

Society Qld State president Michael McKeown hastily resigned not long after the above was made public.

And he became even more paranoid with his involvement with Society Qld ceo conspirator Peter Maher. 

What is common practice with these pious sanctimonious Society officials is telling secrets about each other to other people, never thinking it will be repeated or told to any one else.

Mr Pitt's letter to Mary Triant saying he understood........ is a good example of there behaviour.

Michael McKeown was always made welcome in my home by my wife while he thought she was valuable to him. 

I have never trusted pious and sanctimonious people and this is a good description for Michael McKeown.

Fortunately for us Michael McKeown gave me the opportunity to collate plenty of secrets especially about secret Society mistresses.

And my judgement was correct about this individual as he still has property belonging to me that the police know about, yet he still has my property.  

The Witnessed Statutory Declarations stating the truth of why McAuliffe closed Vinnies Gym was made public Michael McKeown's paranoia hit the roof after realising what he had disclose to me. 

And I have enough to close this Society believe me and I will use every sentence I can so that eventually a Society OFFICIAL will SUE ME - THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO TRULY EXPOSE THE WRONGDOING OF THESE highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials.

 

good governance, accountability and transparency 

As an advocate of good governance, accountability and transparency at State council meetings during my term on the Council, starting with state council members, to ensure that the good name of the Society of St Vincent de Paul could be upheld at all times and withstand total public scrutiny,

Dignity

Michael I know you could not care less.

But just for the sake of my honour and so that you can never say you have not been told - my wife 

Jude you're once representative here in Cairns is extremely ill and I mean extremely. 

She has tried numerous times to ring you but it seems all phones in Brisbane do not reach Cairns anymore. 

A psychiatrist who fortunately is a good friend of both of us is supervising her.

She genuinely thought you would help her when help was needed, your lack of support has destroyed her faith and for that i hope you are proud.

I do not really expect a response, as I am sure you will follow the SVDP way of ignoring a problem in the eventuality it will just go away.

I also hope you remember why Jude and I met with you and Mr. Barry in Brisbane.

But I assure you and your CEO I most certainly will not go away even if I have to take up the charitable offer from my friend a true man of God and a barrister in Liverpool to visit me to help clear my name. 

As it seems to me solicitors in Australia except the Society's just get ignored.                                         

You where welcomed in my home whenever you where in Cairns and you just turned your back on Jude. 

What makes it even harder to understand is when I first met you I asked you if you were in anyone's pocket? 

Your answer was "I am my own man". 

As for me like Jesus Christ you and your ceo have tried to crucify me, humiliated me to an extent I hope you never have to feel. You never even asked me what the conversation was about in the gym with Maree Fell and the president McAuliffe but everyone shortly will know. 

I am going to ask you as the State President an alleged man of God to make your CEO send the clearly defined information requested by my solicitor to him. 

So I can conclude the process to clear my Catholic name. 

Ending on one last appeal could you return my book you have been asked to return on numerous occasions.

I am giving you a chance to not be included with the liars and thieves below, but once I know you have be told by me - rest assured your NAME and anything else you have done or not have done will be put on the world wide web till we catch you personally like McKeon was caught. 

We have a collection of passionate VIP's world wide NOW that have formed a team - with the same objective to stop donated money being spent on mistresses, Prawns, Hotels, EXPENSIVE Phoney elections like Peter Ryan's  Vs Tom O'Connor.               

While I was at that Phoney election I was told a bunch of flowers for that Phoney election cost $300.               

Air fares for the terminator and wife from Sydney just on the off chance Ryan and his numerous mistresses won. 

He did not win instead the poor had McKeown expert in spending donated money who still will not return my books he borrowed what weak bastards they are.

And last but not least my brother has a copy of a certain memorandum that English reporters friends of us want to pay him plenty to publish in their papers that get re-published in Australia, America, Europe, ect ect.      

I will not stop till you give up these bullies of women and stop them using money donated for the poor it was NOT donated to defend their lying, stealing arses.

Maher ceo [tell him I will never forget he publicly said I KING HIT A CHILD] and will catch him believe me, McAuliffe and his VERY VERY CLOSE FRIEND Maree Fell expert in bullying SLIM, PRETTY, YOUNG, and not so young LADIES.

Maree Fell that tried to bully an ELDERLY VOLUNTEER LADY TO FORGE HER SIGNATURE ON A WORK DOCUMENT, 

WE wonder if she barked this in front of witnesses how long she has been and still doing this like her colleague in the GOLD COAST you lot admitted to $200,000 so conservatively we could triple that figure.

Paid staff Pervert Peter O'Shaunessey, and the people that stole $100, 000 for the gym I paid good money out for a ring and weight machines because Les Smith asked me to in Ravenshoe.

You people have property belonging to me in Mareebra and Ravenshoe also.

Bernie Gough life long member of that society told Judy and me he could prove Maree Fell stole $20,000. 

So we all know when he tried to see the Cairns financial reports that he is entitled too SEE BY THE RULE and as a member of that society. Maree Fell chased him.

I thought while you were fed in my house you had dignity and a little bit of honour as you wanted to travel around Australia with my wife in the pretence of caring for the mentally ill but you are just like Maher ceo and McKeown users of POOR MONEY on yourselves.

This is just the start if you continue hiding these bullies your name will be added not a threat just a promise! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ask Pitt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COPY

----- send this around the world the way only you can for me.

This bastard belongs to the champagne socialists crew here.

He stood by and let numerous women be bullied harassed and slandered by officials of St Vincent de Paul's here in Qld.

One lady tried to kill herself while under Psychiatric care the others are all under Psychiatric care.  

He told Qld Work Place health and Safety DIRECTOR to BLANK THEM.

The money these officials are spending on their defence ALL FROM DONATED MONEY FOR THE POOR is endless, every penny these bastards spend on their arses some homeless street kid, bashed wife, hungry kid is denied the money generations donated to help them. 

Do not worry about pay back I have them boxed off with the Bishop of Cairns that officially cannot pull their necks in these being lay people.

Pitt defends character 

reference for trafficker

James O'Loan

[email-masked]

 

MEMBER for Mulgrave Warren Pitt has defended his decision to provide a character reference for a convicted drug trafficker who was jailed recently.

Mr Pitt says the written reference he provided to Cairns Supreme Court for amphetamines trafficker Jason Wayne Maitland of Edmonton was not a show of support for his actions.

"I provided a reference for Jason so that the court was aware of some of his better qualities," Mr Pitt said.

Maitland, 43, sold $10,300 worth of ecstasy, methamphetamine and LSD to an undercover policeman at his Portsmith work shed from July to December 2004.

Last Friday Justice Stanley Jones sentenced him to three years' jail with eligibility for parole after six months.

Mr Pitt said he had known Maitland and his family "for many years" and acknowledged the trafficker committed serious crimes for which he was now paying.

"I want to be clear - providing a reference should not be construed as condoning the offence." He said he had provided hundreds of references for his constituents since becoming the local member 17 years ago.

CAIRNS QLD 4870

Dear Ms Boyle,

The closure of Vinnie's Gym was a deliberate malicious action by the far north St Vincent De 

Paul Society diocesan president Jetty McAuliffe. This action was in response to Jimmy Tierney 

sending to the Prime Minister John Howard four Statutory Declarations.

The Queensland officials of St Vincent de Paul harassed the instructors of Vinnies Gym in an 

attempt to have them falsify the attendees of indigenous people in order to apply for government 

grants. Jimmy Tierney also informed Cairns wph&s of the above now the Director of wph&s in Brisbane is investigating more allegations.

There were numerous community organisations, school groups and others who were not aware of the facilities Jimmy Tierney was making available to Cairns community via Vinnies Gym. This was because Cairns St Vincent de Paul administrator Maree Fell when told by Judy Tierney that all monies she raised with her Old Wares sales she would now contribute towards the children's weekend camps.

Francine was the Cairns St Vincent de Paul youth coordinator. Judy told Francine to note every incident of bullying from Maree Fell, this she did unwillingly. On one occasion Mr. Jerry 

McAuliffe went to Francine she presented him with a detailed account of the bullying she was receiving from Maree Lee Fell, he read the information then returned it back to her, this man did nothing to change Francine's situation, Francine resigned this was also reported to wph&s.

Just before Francine resigned she had arranged for Jimmy to teach all the girls of St Monica's his personally designed Anti-Rape course. Judy informed the Queensland St Vincent de Paul State 

President in Brisbane but no one informed the school.

I requested government support from Minister Warren Pitt but he informed me that he understood that Vinnies Gym was not getting used for the reason it was set up for. How can he or anyone say this as Jimmy Tierney donated all the equipment that went to make up the fitness centre and boxing facility? 

Erected all the fitness centre equipment on his own, set up all the programs and was the official St Vincent de Paul gym's consultant, because this was going to be an international St Vincent de Paul project as requested by the St Vincent de Paul International president General Jose Ramon Diaz-Torremocha.

How can I inform you of these events because after meeting Jimmy and Judy Tierney I told them both I was running from an abusive husband and feared he would find out where I was living. 

Without any hesitation Jimmy told me to come and live with Judy and him until I felt safe which

I did. So we set up THE STABLE FNQ to enable Jimmy to continue the work he started with Vinnies Gym. 

I am sure after reading this ladies its worth assisting Jimmy in any way.

Kind regards,

Mary Triant

CAIRNS QLD 4870                                     

Dear Colleagues

Jim Tierney - Vinnies Fitness Centre

We act on behalf of St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland ('the Society'). Our client has provided us with a copy of your letter of 12 August 2005 directed to the Chief Executive Officer, Peter Maher and has requested that we respond on its behalf. Mr Maher denies having discussed with your client's wife an allegation that your client had "king hit" someone at a boxing tournament.

The Society is aware that your client claims to be a licensed boxing trainer. However as your client has failed (despite request) to produce a copy of his license, the Society has not been able to verify this claim. Your client is not to be involved in the provision of any boxing training at the fitness centre until a current license has been sighted and appropriate insurance coverage has been arranged.

Whilst the Society is aware that your client donated a number of items of gymnasium equipment to the fitness centre, it had no knowledge that your client's donation was made upon a conditional basis. In any event, the Society has not yet made any decisions on the future operation of the fitness centre at this point in time.

We are instructed that your client has not been requested to provide any details of attendance of indigenous youth at the fitness centre. The Society recognises that your client is a volunteer at the fitness centre, and as such he is not responsible for the administrative operation of the fitness centre. 

Accordingly, the Society does not accept that any allegations made against your client were motivated by your client refusing to provide information in this respect.

We respond to the numbered paragraphs in your letter in keeping with the numbering you have used:

(a) Neither the Society nor Mr Maher are prepared to provide your client with any absolute a "assurance"  that any allegations of misconduct levelled against him will not be repeated. 

 

Such matters are of legitimate concern to the Society given that your client is, or was, a volunteer with the Society.

(b) A copy of the Society's letter of 10 June 2005 to your client is attached.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Briton Legal Services Commissioner ...On my reading, these words infer that the St Vincent de Paul Society (the Society) has made previous requests to see Mr Tierney's licence. 

I understand that in making this statement, Thynne & McCartney would have been acting on the instructions of their clients, the Society. (Society CEO Maher).

I appreciate Mr Tierney's circumstances and respect his opinion that the statement was intentionally false.

I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health.

Mr Understand Pitt... I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group"

 Spelling out the message: Mulgrave MP Warren Pitt ties a White Ribbon as part of his fight. 

Dob in women-bashers: MP

DOBBING in mates who were violent was not un-Australian, Communities Minister Warren Pitt told a Cairns gathering yesterday in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day." If you do know something don't remain silent," the Mulgrave MP urged those who turned out at the Centre of Contemporary Arts to jointly call for an end to violence against women. "It is not un- Australian to report something like that. This business of not dobbing in your mates can go too too far." Mr Pitt also said that far from being weak for men to stand up and say they had an anger problem, it showed great strength to recognise such a thing and do something. Queensland police officers, who often see lives lost and destroyed because of domestic violence, supported the day by wearing white ribbons yesterday and again today. The day was first introduced in Canada in 1991 after the shooting of 14 female students at the University of Montreal.

ORIGINAL SENT: Sunday, 11 February 2007 8:14 PM

Mr Pitt

Minister for Communities, Disability Services, Seniors and Youth, the victims, of St Vincent de Paul officials, have asked me again to contact you, they have been through another charade. 

This time with the Complaints and Prevention unit [CPU]

The unit you speak of below in your last correspondence to me. 

Like all you ministers this unit had no intention of helping these victims.  

So I will ask you again as the minister for all the above, who do they have to ask for justice, who do they have to contact to defend them? 

Who can these victims report this bullying and harassment TOO!  

WPH&S Cairns regional manager Steve Lamb has totally ignored them, QLD WPH&S director has ignored them TOO! So it looks like it is down to you again to advice these victims. 

Even though they know by your past actions, as you have passed them from one department to another you could not care less about their health, well being ect ect. 

Professor Brian Martin did forewarn them and true to his word - they have been passed from one department to another, in the hope they will just go away.

Mr Pitt these are women bullied to such a degree it has affected their health mentally and physically. 

And all they ask is for you as their appropriate minister to help them. 

Why do you find it so difficult to help them?     

What have these women done to be treated with so much contempt by you? 

["It is not un- Australian to report something like that.]

I make you this promise while these LADIES ask me to speak UP for them I will. 

I will continue to do what ever it is to get justice for these people, what I cannot understand is why you, and all the MEN after seeing all the evidence against these St Vincent de Paul officials are not prepared to stop these bullys of women. 

This is nothing to do with any Church this is plain and simple bullying and harassment of working class people from people who should know better.

I am seeing Bishop James Foley shortly to get him to help these victims.

First course consisted of 15 (mostly uni students) young women. 12 of these continue to train as a group twice a week.

Second consists of 10 mostly Telstra staff, one has her two daughters with her. 

Ages range from 12 to 62 years. One week to completion.

Francine and Jim spent an entire day at St Monica's College year 10 open day. 

They spent the time speaking with groups regarding the Anti-Rape courses. 

From these talks 97 students and several teachers have indicated they wish to complete the course. This would be during Term 3, which starts on the 4th July.

Francine Kubanek was the Society youth coordinator that was bullied by Society officials Maree Fell and McAuliffe till she had no option but resign.                        

This young lady was taking abused children away on weekend camps with her professional colleagues at their own expense; she made all the arrangements for me to implement my personal Anti-Rape programme in all Cairns schools.

Francine was a pretty SLIM young lady that is why she was bullied to submission by St Vincent de Paul's Maree Fell.

To whom it may concern

For the past 6 weeks I have been participating in an antirape corse with another 7 laddies. It has been fun and enjoyable. I feel that in those 6 week I have learnt so much. Now when I go out with my friends I feel so much safer. I was the youngest in -my class lam only in-grade 8 for me I feel that Jim Terney my instructor explained things really well. I think that this class is from ages -12 and above and I'm glade that I participated.

To whom it my concern

I have just completed a six weeks Anti-Rape course conducted by Jim Tierney. I found this course to be informative and enlightening and it left me feeling confident to deal with a number of situations.

I attended this course with both my daughters and several other women. Our ages ranged from 12 to 62 and everyone of us felt that we got a lot out of this course.

I feel that Mr. Tierney's course should be conducted in our high schools for girls of all ages. Jim tells it how it is, not to frighten or intimidate, but educate you to defend and fight back. I feel that this approach could save your life.

Thanks

To Whom It May Concern

I recently attended a six week Anti-Rape Course conducted by Mr Jim Tierney and have no hesitation in recommending this course to all women from high school age to

100 +. 

Mr Tierney delivered the course in a no-nonsense, realistic, "as it is" manner - nothing was sugar-coated.

I am a 55 year old grandmother - the eight participants ranged in age from 12 to 62and I personally had my whole attitude to survival turned completely around, eg I had previously been advised never to resist, but to passively accept, an attack. The most important thing I learned in this course was not only to resist, but to fight back, and with determination, in order to survive.

I believe if girls aged from 12 or 13 had the opportunity to participate in this course, it would benefit them greatly their whole life, as awareness is surely the key.

Sincerely

Christine Forrester Cairns

30th May, 2005

This is to confirm that I was one of 8 Telstra associated women who attended a six-week course recently presented by Mr Jim Tierney.

Of the 8 attendees, I was the eldest of the age-group ranging from 12 years of age to 62 years of age. I am also a former "Wood-Badged" Scout Leader of many years standing.

Having also personally experienced "domestic violence", I consider the skills and basic awareness conveyed by Mr. Tierney to very valuable.

The course is conducted in a "down to earth" manner and proposes simple techniques suitable for implementation by women of any age, height or weight.

In the case of our youngest attendee, parental approval was sought to ensure suitability of the subject matter.

FIRST STRIKE MUAY THAI KICKBOXING CAIRNS

To Whom It May Concern,

In reference to Jim Tierney we at First Strike have always known him to be supportive & encouraging in all aspects of boxing or martial arts. 

My students have been fortunate with Jim's life experiences and knowledge especially regarding injury prevention that keeps us strong physically and mentally.

He always finds the time to help young students & has always been right behind us in any undertakings we as a kickboxing stable have undertaken such as our successful fight nights at various Cairns locations. 

Jim has a unique ability using boxing skills and knowledge to enhance the self-esteem of the young people in Cairns that suffer from mental illness or simply come from dysfunctional or poor families.

Without Jim's unwavering help First Strike Cairns would not be operating so for this we owe him everything.

 HI Judy

It is not a case that I have nothing to say but rather I have on involvement with the organisation or contact with anyone associated with that organisation 

as many of the people who have wronged you and Jimmy have done the same to me  and I have no wish to have contact with them. 

On  a personal level I am struggling to cope with my youngest son who has significant mental health issues including severe depression and anxiety complicated by  suffering from Asperger syndrome. 

I think that you know  from your past professional background how demanding that can be on a family and trying to hold down a job. 

On a personal level I injured back at work  and I now have a damaged back with ongoing pain and I also have a heart condition.

I wish you and Jimmy well for the future.

I know I keep going on about  having no one as a child not for pity sake but I suppose to tell you and Lee what you have given this old man and how it makes me feel when Jessica puts her hands up to me to lift her up I cannot describe the love I feel from your children.

This email is about getting lean.  And that means getting past those dreaded plateaus that plague just about EVERYBODY trying to lose fat.

Well, what about if you’re trying to get SUPER lean... i.e. below 10% bodyfat?

Then this email is ESPECIALLY for you!

You see, I've got an excerpt for you from one of two teleseminars about getting “super lean” done by fat-loss expert Tom Venuto.  If you’re not familiar with him, Tom’s a LEGEND at helping people achieve spectacular  results in fat loss – right down to the single-digit bodyfat, “WOW” type of lean that you see in magazines.

When it comes to effectiveness and honesty, his information is right at the top of the list of people I TRUST in the fitness industry.

This excerpt is about fat loss plateaus – why they REALLY happen and what you can do to blast through them.  Because peeling off those last 5 to 10 lbs will not only set your physique apart, it’ll give you a great sense of accomplishment!  VERY few people ever achieve that “super lean” look.

And you know those last few pounds are always the toughest...  :)

Now, Tom had these seminars transcribed and turned into ebooks and MP3 audios that he's actually giving away as part of a 3 day special promotion starting right now and ending February 13th. For more information on that, go to:

-->  http://www.fitstep.com/goto/burnfat.htm

Breaking through fat-loss plateaus is always a challenge, but there are DEFINITELY things you can do... have a read through and see what Tom has to say.  I think you’ll learn a lot from Tom’s approach!

EXCERPT FROM THE "SUPER LEAN" TELESEMINAR

QUESTION:

"Our first question says, “Tom, I know you often say that to get to the point to be able to see your abs, you need to get to single-digit body fat. What if I hit a plateau at about 12% body fat? What do I need to do to break the plateau and get my fat% down to single digits? Should I do more cardio, more weight-training, manipulate my diet somehow?”

ANSWER:

"You could do any of the above. You could manipulate your calories, change type of cardio, add cardio duration or frequency. You could increase cardio intensity. You could change your weight-training. You shouldn’t limit yourself.

One of the problems I see with quite a few programs is that they’re too dogmatic. If you hit a plateau, the person with the most flexibility in their approach is the person who’s going to be most likely to get through that plateau.

The first thing though is to understand what a plateau really is. This is important, because if you were losing weight, but now you’re not, there’s only one thing that that could mean; you were in a calorie deficit but you’re no longer in a calorie deficit.

You may be wondering why that happens.

There are four primary reasons you hit a plateau:

The first reason you hit a plateau is because your metabolism decreases.

While this does not completely stop fat loss, it does slow down fat loss. If you’ve been cutting calories, especially if you cut them severely, your body adapts by decreasing the metabolic rate. That’s sometimes known as the “starvation response” or “Adaptive thermogenesis.”

The second reason is that you need fewer calories after you lose weight. Calorie needs are directly tied into your body weight. One problem is that after people lose a lot of weight, they tend to keep eating the same way they were eating when they were heavier.

So they’re feeding a smaller person the way they were when they were a bigger person, but when you’re a smaller person, you don’t need as many calories, even at rest (your basal metabolic rate is lower).

A third reason is that when you move that smaller body, you’re not burning as many calories. If you strap on a weighted vest or heavy backpack and go out and hike up a hill, you can tell, obviously, that if you’re lugging around extra weight, you’re burning more calories. So now can you see why, after you lose weight, you burn fewer calories?

The fourth reason is that most people either cheat on their diets or they forget to record part of their food intake. This one requires a little bit of honesty with yourself. Even if you don’t do it intentionally and you don’t “cheat” per se, unconsciously, we’re all terrible at estimating how much food we eat.

Some studies have even showed underreporting calorie intake as much as 50%. In other words, you say, “I’m only eating 1,200 calories a day, but I’m stuck at a plateau!” but you’re really eating 1,800 calories a day which doesn’t give you much of a deficit.

All of these reasons for plateaus get amplified in the later stages of a diet, because biologically speaking, your body is doing everything it possibly can to get you to go off your diet and to get weight to stabilize.
After a long period of dieting and after a large weight loss, your body cranks up the appetite, stimulates cravings and tries to trick you into eating more.

The leaner you get, the longer youve been dieting and the more aggressively you cut calories, the more your body tends to defend its weight, and hold on to remaining body fat.

So it’s really common to hit that plateau when you’re dieted down and leaner. Usually it’s nowhere near as difficult for the overweight person to start losing weight as it is for the lean person to get even more lean. The last 10 lbs is usually a lot harder than the first 10.

If you think about it, it’s pretty unnatural from a biological perspective to walk around with really low single-digit body fat. It’s not beneficial from a survival-of-the-species point of view to have low body fat. So this metabolic adaptation becomes more pronounced the leaner you get.

you’re also at a higher risk of losing muscle, because extra muscle is not econmical when there’s a calorie shortage. Having extra muscle is like having an engine that’s bigger than you need - It’s like a gas guzzler.

The ultimate answer to why you plateau, why that last 10 pounds is so hard to lose and why it’s hard to break into those single digits is that you were in a calorie deficit but for all of the reasons mentioned above, you’re no longer in deficit.

The way to break the plateau then is to:

(1) re-stimulate metabolism and re-set fat-burning and starvation hormones, and
(2) re-establish the deficit.
(3) KEEP AFTER IT!

The question was, “How do I do that? More cardio, more weight training, manipulate my diet?”

You could do all of the above. Eating less or exercising more can both increase a deficit. But one thing you might want to do first, is give yourself a little break. Take your calories up to maintenance level, maybe for a week.

The idea there is not to try to accelerate fat loss, because what you’re actually doing is removing your calorie deficit for a short period of time. What you’re trying to do is facilitate the fat loss when you jump back into it.

It gives your body a physiological break from the stress of dieting; it resets some of those starvation hormones and stimulates your metabolism so when you go back to the calorie deficit, your body responds again.

You also get mental break from the diet as well, which makes it easier to stick with the program when you go back to it.

You could also use a calorie cycling approach, to help prevent yourself from hitting another plateau, and we already covered calorie and carb cycling in the last call.

I also recommend, because so many people underestimate how much they eat, don’t take any chances. Count your calories, or at least become really aware of the portion sizes and maybe even consider keeping a journal.

You’ve probably been told many times by a lot of different “experts” that you don’t have to count calories. But when you’re in a plateau, I’d recommend that you stop guessing and really get serious about what you’re taking in.
Then what you need to do is reestablish that calorie deficit using every tool at your disposal.

Use nutrition by pulling back your portion sizes. Or use cardio. And by increased cardio, I mean increasing energy expenditure. You could increase your frequency. You could increase your duration.

But increasing energy expenditure is not necessarily doing longer workouts, just burning more calories. You could also take the same amount of time that you’re spending right now and increase your intensity.

The whole idea is just burn more calories and stimulate metabolism, which gives you your deficit back again or you can pull back your food intake and give yourself a deficit again from the food side.

There’s more than one way to do it and I don’t think that you should lock yourself in. Use all of the variables and remember that there are TWO sides to the energy balance equation, not one."

-----------------

I hope you enjoyed this excerpt and I hope you put the information to good use!

This was just one excerpt from almost two hours of audio in Tom's new "Super Lean" seminar, which Tom is giving away with the purchase of his ebook “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle,” but only until February 13th.

Tom and I differ on a few things when it comes to fat loss but I have to say, we agree on the VAST majority of points.  His information is PROVEN to work and this “Super Lean” seminar really adds TREMENDOUS value to his overall package.

And, as I mentioned above, Tom is right at the top of the list of people I trust in the fitness industry, especially when it comes to fat loss.

Keren I have to tell you when Jessica and me where in the pool just the two of us she laughed and kissed me and hugged me. I have never in my life felt this emotion it scares me sometimes because I am so so happy I never thought three girls could change my life so much. 
 
I know I keep going on about  having no one as a child not for pity sake but I suppose to tell you and Lee what you have given this old man and how it makes me feel when Jessica puts her hands up to me to lift her up I cannot describe the love I feel from your children.
 
You are the best thing that happened to Jude and me and we love you very very much.
Thank you for our two precious gifts our grand children.
I could POP OFF now as I did not think there could be any fulfilment as I feel now.
 
Sometimes I feel I should just thank you for fulfilling my well filled life.
 
Its important you both know anything you want I will get it for you.
 
I better leave it at that thanks girl you are a one OFF
 
Thank you

 The principal of res ipsa loquitur

THE NEW AUSTRALIAN CONSULTANT PSYCHIATRISTS John Campbell said and McAuliffe agreed!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judith Tierney is by profession a Director of Psychiatric Hospitals and was a Society Qld vice State President she was also their Mental Health advisor if ever they get back the collective amount of now $324 million dollars the Society gave away illegally to finance Ozcare. 

Yet my wife Judith is now under the care of her Consultant psychiatrist Doctor Dr Jeff Taylor.

Why because of these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials John Campbell, McAuliffe, Society ceo Maher, Society secret holder of donated money and expert bully instructor Maree fell. 

And Campbell and McAuliffe have the audacity to publicly deceive Cairns community that they care for the mentally ill, this lot created more with mental illness than we could help.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mentally ill end up on street 

Sonia Campbell  

INADEQUATE services for the mentally ill continue to compound the region's homeless crisis, with many ending up on the streets or behind bars. 

St Vincent de Paul believes the move away from institutionalising people with mental illness over recent years, has dramatically increased the rate of homelessness and imprisonment.

"Three years ago I would have said 30 per cent (of homeless people) had a mental health problem, now I would say 80 to 100 per cent would." 

Vice president of St Vincent's Queensland State Council John Campbell said. 

St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

 "Of the people we see (in the far north), it's between 60 and 80 per cent of these people who have some form of mental health problems..whether it is depression or alcohol dependency or whatever," Mr Mcauliffe said. 

Mr McAuliffe agreed a large problem facing relief organisation was there lack of experience in dealing with the mentally ill. 

Mr Campbell said the mentally ill also were let down by the legal system, with many ending up in jail unnecessary for minor offences or misunderstandings. 

He said an early intervention scheme was needed to assess mentally ill people, who were charged with criminal offences, before they reached the courts.  

The principal of res ipsa loquitur appalling behaviour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 McAuliffe and John Campbell are just two out of all these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials. 

This pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular, had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness. 

Campbell is an X insurance seller and expert bully of women.

McAuliffe's occupation is the same as the one Jesus Christ threw out of the temple. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Mental Health experts and bullys John Campbell at it again - He is now publicly stating he has the expertise to make calls through the media on the percentage HE THINKS suffer from mental Health illness.  John Campbell was a salesman. 

And below I will give you all, their creditability as humans never mind professing to be psychologists or psychiatrists.  Campbell and McAuliffe this pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness.

Vinnies' Catholic bias put on trial        

Michael McKenna
09apr07

THE ruling Catholic leadership of the St Vincent de Paul Society faces trial over alleged religious discrimination after telling one of its leaders to convert or resign as an office-holder.

The welfare organisation, founded in Paris in 1833, may be forced to change its constitution in Australia because of the looming case in Queensland's Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, brought by former volunteer and local area president Linda Walsh, a Presbyterian. Ms Walsh was a leading light in the organisation for more than six years, working full-time - as one of the 5000 non-Catholics in the society's 8000-strong volunteer force in Queensland - with refugees and migrants, and holding the elected position of president of three local conferences, or area groups, in Brisbane. But in 2004, despite being previously open about her religious status, the State Council of the society allegedly informed her that her "non-Catholic" status had become a "point of contention for some members" of the organisation. Ms Walsh said she was then advised she had three options: to become a Catholic, resign her elected position and remain with the society only as a member, or leave the society. 

She has not worked with the organisation since. Instead, the mother of four launched legal action against the society, seeking financial damages for pain and suffering, and changes to the worldwide constitution banning non-Catholics from leadership positions except in extreme cases. 

The society last week lost its bid to have the action thrown out on the grounds it was "frivolous and trivial" and that the ban is exempt from Australia's anti-discrimination laws because it constituted a "genuine occupational requirement". In its plea to the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, the society said a worldwide review of its constitution in 2003 had stated that the "Catholic beliefs and ethos" of the organisation must be preserved. The society's state president, John Campbell, said the organisation welcomed volunteers and staff from "all walks of life" and that assistance was provided to anyone in need. "But presidents, vice-presidents and spiritual advisers must be Catholic to maintain the ethos of the society," he said. "The society is an international Catholic organisation that consists of many people who volunteer their time to do good works. Some do this to deepen their Catholic faith in a practical way, while others simply want to make a real difference in their community." Ms Walsh's solicitor, Rob Stevenson of Nathan Lawyers, said there was no reason why his client should be excluded from leadership positions with St Vincent de Paul. 

"She was working full-time for the society, doing good work and holding significant positions," he said. 

"It was no secret she was not a Catholic -she had made it known when she began volunteering and before she was elected to these positions and no one objected. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Two of Australia's Mental Health experts and bullys Drs John Campbell and McAuliffe at it again

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STRESS: Volunteer Linda Walsh

Damages claims against Vinnies

 A WOMAN who says the St Vincent de Paul Society discriminated against her because she was not Catholic is seeking damages for stress and humiliation.

Linda Walsh volunteered with the Catholic lay society for 6 ½ years and was voted into important positions, including president of several conferences.

In her claim before the Anti-Discrimination Commission, the Brisbane woman, 51, says that in most of that time it was not an issue that she was not a Catholic. 

But in January 2004 she was told that her being a non-Catholic had become a contention. 

She was given three choices - become a Catholic, resign her conference president's position and remain a member or leave the society.

She is claiming dis-crimination on the basis of religious belief and activity and has won the first round in her case.

Last month, the Anti-Discrimination Tri-bunal rejected an application by the Queensland branch of the society to have the case thrown out. 

It will now get go to a tribunal hearing.

Rhonda Wallace worked as a St Vincent de Paul Cairns depot manager she was bullied enough by St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell for her to contemplate KILLING HERSELF. She had to leave her work numerous times because of high blood pressure. Anxiety and panic attacks made her want kill herself. After reporting the consistent levels of intensity she was subjected too in written format, and verbal to Qld WPH&S Cairns Regional manager Steve Lamb. 

Lamb refused to answer questions put to him by Rhonda Wallace and Judith Tierney. 

James Victor Tierney escorted these two bulled ladies to Cairns WPH&S office, where Lamb refused to respond to Judith Tierney's question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 

"You were told by me that this Society had GRIEVANCE POLICIES IN PLACE my question to you as the WPH&S Cairns Regional manager who are the Society accountable too when the Society does not follow their GRIEVANCE POLICIES  they have in place like in my case and Rhonda Wallace's, Jim Tierney.

Qld WPH&S Cairns Regional manager Steve Lamb called his inspectors to call the police and have us removed, what a cunning way to not have to respond to Judith Tierney very SPECIFIC QUESTION. 

Rhonda Wallace also reported all her bullying episodes to the Qld Anti-Discrimination department, no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace from this department.

I reported it to the then Prime Minister John Howard, Qld Premier Peter Beatie, the percent Qld Premier no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace.  

The facts are all of the victims of the Qld Society of St Vincent De Paul have received no assistance from any Qld government minister past and present or any Qld government department past and present.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is another copy of the letter Rhonda Wallace sent years ago to Qld WPH&S director and Qld departments no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace from this department.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RHONDA WALLACE                    

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was employed as a Depot manager for the Society of St Vincent de Paul for a number of years.                                                         

 I resigned from this position in May 2004 because the following reasons.

I was consistently harassed by the administrator Mrs Maree Fell over issues I had no control over. 

The normal procedure was for, and had been for many years, that the depot manager would take home the depot vehicle in order to pick up volunteers and donations if need be, while travelling to or from work. With no reason or explanation Mrs Fell contacted me at work to inform me that I would no longer be allowed to drive the vehicle home. Rumours were began and circulated among other staff members and volunteers. 

These rumours were concerning my sexuality, and so I should not be working for the Catholic society.

 I took legal advice and a letter was sent to one person who I knew to be involved in these matters. However it did not stop. 

Mrs Fell would fail to give me enough notice of pending meetings or time to compose a report for a certain meeting, and then embarrass me by making remarks about these issues in front of other staff and volunteers. 

Eventually I refused to attend meeting with Mrs Fell or the Diocesan President Marc King without my union rep being present. 

One of the volunteers signed and had witnessed a Statutory Declaration stating he had witnessed two staff members speaking about this issue and then repeating it to a volunteer; this was given to the administrator. 

I attempted to have this matter dealt with by the Diocesan President Marc King, with no response. 

I had several days off work because of stress, twice I went to the hospital as a result of blood pressure. 

This constant intimidation and harassment eventually reduced me to such a desperate state, that I very seriously considered suicide. 

I was so depressed that I purchased the hose pipe and tape in order to kill myself in my car. 

I had also saved up sleeping tablets that had been prescribed to me. 

At about this time I had found another job, and so handed in my resignation to the Diocesan President, he asked me to reconsider and prayed over me, which I did but when I returned the next day the administrator said it was too late my resignation was accepted. 

This was said to me in an intimidating way. 

To my knowledge the Statutory Declaration and my attempts to address these issues were never taken any further than the Administrators office.

 It is only now that I am able to tell my friends of my contemplated suicide, and feel mentally able to address these issues.  A friend of mine has recently told me that the Diocesan President Marc King, had said to him that he wished I would leave, as he didn't want me in this job. This statement was made well before my resignation. 

I have copies of letters of support from volunteers, union rep. and the Solicitors letter. 

I kept a record of all these issues on a day to day basis. 

Yours truly, 

RHONDA WALLACE

 Cairns St Vincent de Paul emergency relieve volunteers opening sealed breakfast cereal boxes with bare hands reaching into the now opened boxes and bringing out maybe 3 / 4 cereal biscuits depending on what mood these charlatans are in then putting them into any handy  plastic bag then handed out to the people. 

Judith Elizabeth Tierney when holding the official rank of Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice president approached St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator and expert bully trainer Maree Fell and the Man that prays over his victims Mark King and demanded they consider the victims dignity. And stop their actions now!  She was told by Maree Fell expert bully to mind her own business as it had nothing to do with her because she was a Qld State president. Judith rang St Vincent de Paul Brisbane head office informing on the Cairns emergency relieve system in place - but more importantly to cover herself  in case any of the community was poisoned. Eventually this system of dealing with the hungry was stopped.        

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was at the time before Maree Fell and Mr King had a fall out over who would be blamed for spending $54,000 dollars on a rented building or stolen by King Maree Fell said to Jim Tierney.

Judith Tierney has stated the Society has grievance policies, which should in fact have dealt with the issues.   

N Because of women complaining and nothing again done about these complaints 

re: a number of extremely important official complaint reports where handed to Cairns Society administrator Maree Fell at her Cairns office regarding St Vincent de Paul Work Place Health & Safety representative Peter O'Shaughnessy these reports never surfaced!       

They were complaints that every time Peter O'Shaughnessy was in front of women he would deliberately maul his genitals, or hold and rub his balls as it has been described.  

Qld St Vincent de Paul state vice president Judith Elizabeth Tierney told him to stop doing it when he did it in front of her.                         

Rhonda Wallace reported this obscene behaviour to Marc King.           

This unreported obscene act was deliberately hidden from the police.

Rhonda Wallace has been slandered by St Vincent de Paul Cairns Work Place Health & Safety representative Peter O'Shaughnessy who deliberately mauls his genitals, or holds and rubs his balls, in front of her. N                                                                                                                                                                            

I personally witnessed the appalling behaviour of Maree Fell towards Francine Kubanek while I was with Francine in her Society office making final arrangements for the Anti-Rape classes we had arranged with St Monica's college. 

97 students had indicated they wished to participate in my programme. 

Francine, also trying to follow the correct procedure, put in writing a detailed account of her treatment by Maree Fell, and presented it to her next higher authority, Mcauliffe; he read the now official document and returned it to her.  

Again no action taken by this hypocrite that stood there and watched a young lady be totally destroyed by Maree Fell and did nothing! 

The Society has more of my property in Mareebra and Ravenshoe and Logan city but tried to fool the public that Cairns was a one off project.    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mental Health expert and bully John Campbell and St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry  Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

Subject:    Attention state president Michael Mckeown. 

Dignity

Michael I know you could not care less.

But just for the sake of my honour and so that you can never say you have not been told - my wife 

Jude you're once representative here in Cairns is extremely ill and I mean extremely. 

She has tried numerous times to ring you but it seems all phones in Brisbane do not reach Cairns anymore. 

A psychiatrist who fortunately is a good friend of both of us is supervising her.

She genuinely thought you would help her when help was needed, your lack of support has destroyed her faith and for that i hope you are proud.

I do not really expect a response, as I am sure you will follow the SVDP way of ignoring a problem in the eventuality it will just go away.

I also hope you remember why Jude and I met with you and Mr. Barry in Brisbane.

But I assure you and your CEO I most certainly will not go away even if I have to take up the charitable offer from my friend a true man of God and a barrister in Liverpool to visit me to help clear my name. 

As it seems to me solicitors in Australia except the Society's just get ignored.  

You where welcomed in my home whenever you where in Cairns and you just turned your back on Jude. 

What makes it even harder to understand is when I first met you I asked you if you were in anyone's pocket? 

Your answer was "I am my own man". 

As for me like Jesus Christ you and your ceo have tried to crucify me, humiliated me to an extent I hope you never have to feel. You never even asked me what the conversation was about in the gym with Maree Fell and the president McAuliffe but everyone shortly will know. 

I am going to ask you as the State President an alleged man of God to make your CEO send the clearly defined information requested by my solicitor to him. 

So I can conclude the process to clear my Catholic name. 

Ending on one last appeal could you return my book you have been asked to return on numerous occasions.

COPY FROM THE-THE AUSTRALIAN   26 May, 2005

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.

[email-masked]  McAuliffe's email

Trish 

Pass on to Veronica the Bishop told me tonight that St Vincent de Paul's McAuliffe is selling all the kitchen and other stuff she donated to the gym in two weeks.                                                                   

That is if it has not already been pinched by one of these thieves - Tell her they have said publicly she or the ALH group did not donate anything period.

Judy told Dean Lock that Veronica's group donated lots of things that are missing.

The reason is that the ceo peter Maher lied to Dean lock owner of the building that housed Vinnies Gym - Maher told Dean lock that he personally through the Society bought the kitchen and white goods and all the other stuff the ALH group gave to the gym.

This was in response to Dean Lock asking Maher where all the equipment was if he paid for it as it was not in the building after the gym closed. 

I will give you McAuliffe's email so Veronica can tell these thieves and liars to return the stuff that was donated to the gym to her or the group- especially after Peter Maher lied to Dean Lock. 

 Dean Lock complained to maher so maher thinking no one would find out told Dean Lock to stop complaining as he did well out of the society with him buying all the gear the ALH group donated.

 Trish tell her not to let these thieves and women bullys walk, they will not expect

the ALH group or Veronica to know about their deceit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Anti-Rape course was deliberately sabotage by McAuliffe and Fell from QLD St Vincent de Paul.                                               

International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha asked Jude to make a CD of all the activities I had operational in Vinnies Gym. He copied the CD Jude sent him and put it on the International Society web page.  José, Jude and me continually kept contact with each other, as he had requested me to help him set up my projects in more countries than Australia. I was so thrilled that he was as troubled with drug barons controlling our children as Jude and me were. I said we would help set my projects in any country for him. 

This was in progress as Maher, McAuliffe and Maree Fell deliberately destroyed not only Vinnies Gym in Cairns, but all the other gyms in Australia. Ravenshoe was the second as the QLD State Council released $100,000 after advice from me via Jude.                                                                                                                                                                        

What most in this Australian Society do not know was the Society person responsible for the pommie Bastard statement had a personal agenda with his Society friend. 

They wanted to use the building that a $100,000 had been released [from donated money for the poor] to sell computers from a Computer shop belonging to one of this individuals, in the pretence of teaching kids to become computer literate. 

After reviewing the plans of the building in Ravenshoe I paid for a boxing ring to be built, 

I also paid for a Multi-Weight Training Unit for the kids to use in their Ravenshoe Gym.                                                              

Les Smith will confirm any of this because it was him that asked Jude to ask me, if I would do it after he discovered the kids in Ravenshoe had set up their own boxing gym in a dangerous railway building that was ready for demolition. 

And being a caring person was concerned these boys could be killed using this dangerous building as a boxing Gym. 

For more confirmation one of the boys I was training at Vinnies Gym was the Ravenshoe Mayor's son and he had become the spokesman for the Ravenshoe boys. 

Ravenshoe's Mayor and his son and his friend's will not say one good word regarding the Society after this behaviour. 

YES MY MONEY AGAIN and I received

 "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".  

What a reward?

McAuliffe is a weak individual that let his very very very close friend Maree Fell destroy Francine Cairns Youth coordinator, [this was someone's daughter].

McAuliffe gave Jude his word he would not close the Vinnies Gym down, then closed it down with the aid of Society Mr. ceo "life's tough" Maher. And also with his very very very close friend Maree Fell.

 JUST because I eye ball to eye told them and every person present in the Vinnies Gym that he is not a proper man after taking from Francine Cairns Youth coordinator a detailed documented account of all bullying and harassment she received by his very very very close friend Maree Fell and handed it back to her. 

He uses a free car, free petrol; he used thousands of dollars renting an empty building 

[Poor money] not his money from September 2005 till February 2006 just for spite; 

[His reason for closing the Gym he stated publicly was he had no money] and the way he throws it away it could very soon be true. 

He is using an unknown amount to store all my equipment in Sea Containers since September 2005 and he is continuing to pay this unknown amount.                                                                                                                                            

Bishop James Foley requested Jude to meet with McAuliffe and him, she said she would so a meeting was arranged. 

What McAuliffe is keeping secret is when he had all my equipment moved in their clandestine way. They also took numerous pieces of equipment that belonged to people using Vinnies Gym that still belongs to them.    

 Many [when it was possible to contacted this individual] he is in hiding now because so many people with some very expensive equipment he has hidden want it back and are prepared to whack him if they could find him.

Pat Hawke in charge of Cairns Port Authority contacted McAuliffe so many times telling him he was visiting his family in Tasmania when McAuliffe using his clandestine way closed the Gym. 

So can he please have his personal property back? 

The latest excuse Pat Hawke received from McAuliffe was he cannot find anyone in the whole Society that is willing to go to his secret hide away in case I am there.

 Pat.Hawke @cairnsport.com.au

Pat Hawke told me and my wife when he was talking to McAuliffe he said "I am not or either is anyone else game to go near that lunatic he should be stopped from being near children." 

Pat Hawke also told JUDITH TIERNEY McAuliffe said "she thinks she is so smart...."

This stopped Judith Tierney going to the meeting Cairns Bishop James Foley had arranged with McAuliffe and Judith and Bishop James Foley.

This meeting was to have McAuliffe return all the property belonging to numerous people in Cairns and a Federal Government Department.

In the gym to make it look professional I loaned the Gym and put up on the wall myself numerous Autographed boxing photos, this was a way a keeping the kids involved because they knew it was not a Mickey Mouse joint.

McAuliffe removed my Autographed boxing photos from the wall with a crow bar - yes a crow bar that is how much he hates me and Jude.

It was as an appointed St Vincent de Paul Qld State Vice President that I witnessed this disgusting behaviour of these officials.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that the independent GYM reviewer Hogan a friend of St Vincent de Paul CEO Maher, stated to me that one of the reasons Maher closed the gym was my husband "got up to many noses" and I hope you people are not accusing me of lying.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I sat in a four hour tele-conference wasting my time listening to Jack Williams retired barrister and life long member of the society, with him stating to the Qld council members that if they did not start legal proceeding to retrieve $130 million dollars given away illegally he would make this public and so he did with the help of the Australian newspaper.

I have a copy of this memorandum!

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I can prove the society CEO Maher lied again when he made it public that it was a unanimous decision made by the all members of the Qld state council it was not an unanimous decision at all.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I witnessed the Cairns society's Maree Fell harass and bully Francine Kubanek youth coordinator, Rhonda Wallace.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I witnessed with others, Maree Fell harass a very elderly lady volunteer demanding this lady to forge Maree Fells signature.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I reported huge amounts of stealing from donated goods to Qld St Vincent de Paul's State President Michael McKeown.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that Michael McKeown told me CEO Maher had sent registered letters to my husband banning him from Vinnies Gym because CEO Maher stated publicly in front of witnesses that my husband KING HIT A CHILD.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that Hogan gym reviewer friend of CEO Maher confirmed with me that CEO Maher stated he HAD sent my husband registered letters that have still not arrived.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I asked Maree Fell to stop allowing sealed food packages being opened and put into plastic bags with volunteers bare hands then handed out to the public.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I escorted Rhonda Wallace that was bullied by Maree Fell so much to Qld Work Place Health & Safety department and to the anti-discrimination department.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President I went with my husband and Rhonda Wallace to meet with Qld Work Place Health & Safety department Steve Lamb. 

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I sent registered documents to the Director of Qld Work Place Health & Safety department again with no response.

But more importantly I met with my friend Cairns Catholic Bishop James Foley that confirmed all my husbands donated equipment is still my husband's. 

St Vincent de Paul society's FNQ president McAuliffe is still paying for my husbands donated equipment but also some Cairns community's member's personal belongings  that McAuliffe refuses to give back even after Qld police minister Spence knowing this is so.

While with Bishop James Foley I told him the real reason the society closed Vinnies Gym was my husband and three Vinnies Gym instructors informed our Prime Minister John Howard of harassment from Society's official to falsify indigenous numbers to gain government grants, and my husband sent Society's CEO Maher emails informing him of the amount of stealing bulling harassment 

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President when International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha all from the TV local news  [I have the video] ask my husband to take his project overseas in poor countries for the Society. That I witnessed the mentally ill being abused by St Vincent de Paul officials also in my appointed position as a St Vincent de Paul Qld State Vice President.

We are women that were bullied to the point of suicide, harassed daily, lied to, insulted. 

As a Professional Director of Psychiatric Hospitals having spent most of my life caring for men with psychiatric problems, believing that if I ever needed help Australian men would help me.

How wrong can one be?

I was brought up to believe Australian men cared for their women again how wrong can one be?

I am totally disgusted that you men could be so weak, so uncaring so callus and knowing all through this charade that you had no intention of helping us.

We will show you what real men will do for us.

A totally disgusted

 The principal of res ipsa loquitur

THE NEW AUSTRALIAN CONSULTANT PSYCHIATRISTS John Campbell said and McAuliffe agreed!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judith Tierney is by profession a Director of Psychiatric Hospitals and was a Society Qld vice State President she was also their Mental Health advisor if ever they get back the collective amount of now $324 million dollars the Society gave away illegally to finance Ozcare. 

Yet my wife Judith is now under the care of her Consultant psychiatrist Doctor Dr Jeff Taylor.

Why because of these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials John Campbell, McAuliffe, Society ceo Maher, Society secret holder of donated money and expert bully instructor Maree fell. 

And Campbell and McAuliffe have the audacity to publicly deceive Cairns community that they care for the mentally ill, this lot created more with mental illness than we could help.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mentally ill end up on street 

Sonia Campbell  

INADEQUATE services for the mentally ill continue to compound the region's homeless crisis, with many ending up on the streets or behind bars. 

St Vincent de Paul believes the move away from institutionalising people with mental illness over recent years, has dramatically increased the rate of homelessness and imprisonment.

"Three years ago I would have said 30 per cent (of homeless people) had a mental health problem, now I would say 80 to 100 per cent would." 

Vice president of St Vincent's Queensland State Council John Campbell said. 

St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

 "Of the people we see (in the far north), it's between 60 and 80 per cent of these people who have some form of mental health problems..whether it is depression or alcohol dependency or whatever," Mr Mcauliffe said. 

Mr McAuliffe agreed a large problem facing relief organisation was there lack of experience in dealing with the mentally ill. 

Mr Campbell said the mentally ill also were let down by the legal system, with many ending up in jail unnecessary for minor offences or misunderstandings. 

He said an early intervention scheme was needed to assess mentally ill people, who were charged with criminal offences, before they reached the courts.  

The principal of res ipsa loquitur appalling behaviour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 McAuliffe and John Campbell are just two out of all these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials. 

This pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular, had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness. 

Campbell is an X insurance seller and expert bully of women.

McAuliffe's occupation is the same as the one Jesus Christ threw out of the temple. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Mental Health experts and bullys John Campbell at it again - He is now publicly stating he has the expertise to make calls through the media on the percentage HE THINKS suffer from mental Health illness.  John Campbell was a salesman. 

And below I will give you all, their creditability as humans never mind professing to be psychologists or psychiatrists.  Campbell and McAuliffe this pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness.

Vinnies' Catholic bias put on trial        

Michael McKenna
09apr07

THE ruling Catholic leadership of the St Vincent de Paul Society faces trial over alleged religious discrimination after telling one of its leaders to convert or resign as an office-holder.

The welfare organisation, founded in Paris in 1833, may be forced to change its constitution in Australia because of the looming case in Queensland's Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, brought by former volunteer and local area president Linda Walsh, a Presbyterian. Ms Walsh was a leading light in the organisation for more than six years, working full-time - as one of the 5000 non-Catholics in the society's 8000-strong volunteer force in Queensland - with refugees and migrants, and holding the elected position of president of three local conferences, or area groups, in Brisbane. But in 2004, despite being previously open about her religious status, the State Council of the society allegedly informed her that her "non-Catholic" status had become a "point of contention for some members" of the organisation. Ms Walsh said she was then advised she had three options: to become a Catholic, resign her elected position and remain with the society only as a member, or leave the society. 

She has not worked with the organisation since. Instead, the mother of four launched legal action against the society, seeking financial damages for pain and suffering, and changes to the worldwide constitution banning non-Catholics from leadership positions except in extreme cases. 

The society last week lost its bid to have the action thrown out on the grounds it was "frivolous and trivial" and that the ban is exempt from Australia's anti-discrimination laws because it constituted a "genuine occupational requirement". In its plea to the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, the society said a worldwide review of its constitution in 2003 had stated that the "Catholic beliefs and ethos" of the organisation must be preserved. The society's state president, John Campbell, said the organisation welcomed volunteers and staff from "all walks of life" and that assistance was provided to anyone in need. "But presidents, vice-presidents and spiritual advisers must be Catholic to maintain the ethos of the society," he said. "The society is an international Catholic organisation that consists of many people who volunteer their time to do good works. Some do this to deepen their Catholic faith in a practical way, while others simply want to make a real difference in their community." Ms Walsh's solicitor, Rob Stevenson of Nathan Lawyers, said there was no reason why his client should be excluded from leadership positions with St Vincent de Paul. 

"She was working full-time for the society, doing good work and holding significant positions," he said. 

"It was no secret she was not a Catholic -she had made it known when she began volunteering and before she was elected to these positions and no one objected.

STRESS: Volunteer Linda Walsh

Damages claims against Vinnies

 A WOMAN who says the St Vincent de Paul Society discriminated against her because she was not Catholic is seeking damages for stress and humiliation.

Linda Walsh volunteered with the Catholic lay society for 6 ½ years and was voted into important positions, including president of several conferences.

In her claim before the Anti-Discrimination Commission, the Brisbane woman, 51, says that in most of that time it was not an issue that she was not a Catholic. 

But in January 2004 she was told that her being a non-Catholic had become a contention. 

She was given three choices - become a Catholic, resign her conference president's position and remain a member or leave the society.

She is claiming dis-crimination on the basis of religious belief and activity and has won the first round in her case.

Last month, the Anti-Discrimination Tri-bunal rejected an application by the Queensland branch of the society to have the case thrown out. 

It will now get go to a tribunal hearing.

Rhonda Wallace worked as a St Vincent de Paul Cairns depot manager she was bullied enough by St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell for her to contemplate KILLING HERSELF. She had to leave her work numerous times because of high blood pressure. Anxiety and panic attacks made her want kill herself. After reporting the consistent levels of intensity she was subjected too in written format, and verbal to Qld WPH&S Cairns Regional manager Steve Lamb. 

Lamb refused to answer questions put to him by Rhonda Wallace and Judith Tierney. 

James Victor Tierney escorted these two bulled ladies to Cairns WPH&S office, where Lamb refused to respond to Judith Tierney's question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 

"You were told by me that this Society had GRIEVANCE POLICIES IN PLACE my question to you as the WPH&S Cairns Regional manager who are the Society accountable too when the Society does not follow their GRIEVANCE POLICIES  they have in place like in my case and Rhonda Wallace's, Jim Tierney.

Qld WPH&S Cairns Regional manager Steve Lamb called his inspectors to call the police and have us removed, what a cunning way to not have to respond to Judith Tierney very SPECIFIC QUESTION. 

Rhonda Wallace also reported all her bullying episodes to the Qld Anti-Discrimination department, no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace from this department.

I reported it to the then Prime Minister John Howard, Qld Premier Peter Beatie, the percent Qld Premier no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace.  

The facts are all of the victims of the Qld Society of St Vincent De Paul have received no assistance from any Qld government minister past and present or any Qld government department past and present.

RHONDA WALLACE                    

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was employed as a Depot manager for the Society of St Vincent de Paul for a number of years.                                                         

 I resigned from this position in May 2004 because the following reasons.

I was consistently harassed by the administrator Mrs Maree Fell over issues I had no control over. 

The normal procedure was for, and had been for many years, that the depot manager would take home the depot vehicle in order to pick up volunteers and donations if need be, while travelling to or from work. With no reason or explanation Mrs Fell contacted me at work to inform me that I would no longer be allowed to drive the vehicle home. Rumours were began and circulated among other staff members and volunteers. 

These rumours were concerning my sexuality, and so I should not be working for the Catholic society.

 I took legal advice and a letter was sent to one person who I knew to be involved in these matters. However it did not stop. 

Mrs Fell would fail to give me enough notice of pending meetings or time to compose a report for a certain meeting, and then embarrass me by making remarks about these issues in front of other staff and volunteers. 

Eventually I refused to attend meeting with Mrs Fell or the Diocesan President Marc King without my union rep being present. 

One of the volunteers signed and had witnessed a Statutory Declaration stating he had witnessed two staff members speaking about this issue and then repeating it to a volunteer; this was given to the administrator. 

I attempted to have this matter dealt with by the Diocesan President Marc King, with no response. 

I had several days off work because of stress, twice I went to the hospital as a result of blood pressure. 

This constant intimidation and harassment eventually reduced me to such a desperate state, that I very seriously considered suicide. 

I was so depressed that I purchased the hose pipe and tape in order to kill myself in my car. 

I had also saved up sleeping tablets that had been prescribed to me. 

At about this time I had found another job, and so handed in my resignation to the Diocesan President, he asked me to reconsider and prayed over me, which I did but when I returned the next day the administrator said it was too late my resignation was accepted. 

This was said to me in an intimidating way. 

To my knowledge the Statutory Declaration and my attempts to address these issues were never taken any further than the Administrators office.

 It is only now that I am able to tell my friends of my contemplated suicide, and feel mentally able to address these issues.  A friend of mine has recently told me that the Diocesan President Marc King, had said to him that he wished I would leave, as he didn't want me in this job. This statement was made well before my resignation. 

I have copies of letters of support from volunteers, union rep. and the Solicitors letter. 

I kept a record of all these issues on a day to day basis. 

Yours truly, 

RHONDA WALLACE

 Cairns St Vincent de Paul emergency relieve volunteers opening sealed breakfast cereal boxes with bare hands reaching into the now opened boxes and bringing out maybe 3 / 4 cereal biscuits depending on what mood these charlatans are in then putting them into any handy  plastic bag then handed out to the people. 

Judith Elizabeth Tierney when holding the official rank of Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice president approached St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator and expert bully trainer Maree Fell and the Man that prays over his victims Mark King and demanded they consider the victims dignity. And stop their actions now!  She was told by Maree Fell expert bully to mind her own business as it had nothing to do with her because she was a Qld State president. Judith rang St Vincent de Paul Brisbane head office informing on the Cairns emergency relieve system in place - but more importantly to cover herself  in case any of the community was poisoned. Eventually this system of dealing with the hungry was stopped.        

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was at the time before Maree Fell and Mr King had a fall out over who would be blamed for spending $54,000 dollars on a rented building or stolen by King Maree Fell said to Jim Tierney.

Judith Tierney has stated the Society has grievance policies, which should in fact have dealt with the issues.   

N Because of women complaining and nothing again done about these complaints 

re: a number of extremely important official complaint reports where handed to Cairns Society administrator Maree Fell at her Cairns office regarding St Vincent de Paul Work Place Health & Safety representative Peter O'Shaughnessy these reports never surfaced!       

They were complaints that every time Peter O'Shaughnessy was in front of women he would deliberately maul his genitals, or hold and rub his balls as it has been described.  

Qld St Vincent de Paul state vice president Judith Elizabeth Tierney told him to stop doing it when he did it in front of her.                         

Rhonda Wallace reported this obscene behaviour to Marc King.           

This unreported obscene act was deliberately hidden from the police.

Rhonda Wallace has been slandered by St Vincent de Paul Cairns Work Place Health & Safety representative Peter O'Shaughnessy who deliberately mauls his genitals, or holds and rubs his balls, in front of her. N                                                                                                                                                                            

I personally witnessed the appalling behaviour of Maree Fell towards Francine Kubanek while I was with Francine in her Society office making final arrangements for the Anti-Rape classes we had arranged with St Monica's college. 

97 students had indicated they wished to participate in my programme. 

Francine, also trying to follow the correct procedure, put in writing a detailed account of her treatment by Maree Fell, and presented it to her next higher authority, Mcauliffe; he read the now official document and returned it to her.  

Again no action taken by this hypocrite that stood there and watched a young lady be totally destroyed by Maree Fell and did nothing! 

The Society has more of my property in Mareebra and Ravenshoe and Logan city but tried to fool the public that Cairns was a one off project.

Mental Health expert and bully John Campbell and St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry  Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

Dignity

Michael I know you could not care less.

But just for the sake of my honour and so that you can never say you have not been told - my wife 

Jude you're once representative here in Cairns is extremely ill and I mean extremely. 

She has tried numerous times to ring you but it seems all phones in Brisbane do not reach Cairns anymore. 

A psychiatrist who fortunately is a good friend of both of us is supervising her.

She genuinely thought you would help her when help was needed, your lack of support has destroyed her faith and for that i hope you are proud.

I do not really expect a response, as I am sure you will follow the SVDP way of ignoring a problem in the eventuality it will just go away.

I also hope you remember why Jude and I met with you and Mr. Barry in Brisbane.

But I assure you and your CEO I most certainly will not go away even if I have to take up the charitable offer from my friend a true man of God and a barrister in Liverpool to visit me to help clear my name. 

As it seems to me solicitors in Australia except the Society's just get ignored.  

You where welcomed in my home whenever you where in Cairns and you just turned your back on Jude. 

What makes it even harder to understand is when I first met you I asked you if you were in anyone's pocket? 

Your answer was "I am my own man". 

As for me like Jesus Christ you and your ceo have tried to crucify me, humiliated me to an extent I hope you never have to feel. You never even asked me what the conversation was about in the gym with Maree Fell and the president McAuliffe but everyone shortly will know. 

I am going to ask you as the State President an alleged man of God to make your CEO send the clearly defined information requested by my solicitor to him. 

So I can conclude the process to clear my Catholic name. 

Ending on one last appeal could you return my book you have been asked to return on numerous occasions.

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.

[email-masked]  McAuliffe's email

Trish 

Pass on to Veronica the Bishop told me tonight that St Vincent de Paul's McAuliffe is selling all the kitchen and other stuff she donated to the gym in two weeks.                                                                   

That is if it has not already been pinched by one of these thieves - Tell her they have said publicly she or the ALH group did not donate anything period.

Judy told Dean Lock that Veronica's group donated lots of things that are missing.

The reason is that the ceo peter Maher lied to Dean lock owner of the building that housed Vinnies Gym - Maher told Dean lock that he personally through the Society bought the kitchen and white goods and all the other stuff the ALH group gave to the gym.

This was in response to Dean Lock asking Maher where all the equipment was if he paid for it as it was not in the building after the gym closed. 

I will give you McAuliffe's email so Veronica can tell these thieves and liars to return the stuff that was donated to the gym to her or the group- especially after Peter Maher lied to Dean Lock. 

 Dean Lock complained to maher so maher thinking no one would find out told Dean Lock to stop complaining as he did well out of the society with him buying all the gear the ALH group donated.

 Trish tell her not to let these thieves and women bullys walk, they will not expect

the ALH group or Veronica to know about their deceit.

My Anti-Rape course was deliberately sabotage by McAuliffe and Fell from QLD St Vincent de Paul.                                               

International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha asked Jude to make a CD of all the activities I had operational in Vinnies Gym. He copied the CD Jude sent him and put it on the International Society web page.  José, Jude and me continually kept contact with each other, as he had requested me to help him set up my projects in more countries than Australia. I was so thrilled that he was as troubled with drug barons controlling our children as Jude and me were. I said we would help set my projects in any country for him. 

This was in progress as Maher, McAuliffe and Maree Fell deliberately destroyed not only Vinnies Gym in Cairns, but all the other gyms in Australia. Ravenshoe was the second as the QLD State Council released $100,000 after advice from me via Jude.                                                                                                                                                                        

What most in this Australian Society do not know was the Society person responsible for the pommie Bastard statement had a personal agenda with his Society friend. 

They wanted to use the building that a $100,000 had been released [from donated money for the poor] to sell computers from a Computer shop belonging to one of this individuals, in the pretence of teaching kids to become computer literate. 

After reviewing the plans of the building in Ravenshoe I paid for a boxing ring to be built, 

I also paid for a Multi-Weight Training Unit for the kids to use in their Ravenshoe Gym.                                                              

Les Smith will confirm any of this because it was him that asked Jude to ask me, if I would do it after he discovered the kids in Ravenshoe had set up their own boxing gym in a dangerous railway building that was ready for demolition. 

And being a caring person was concerned these boys could be killed using this dangerous building as a boxing Gym. 

For more confirmation one of the boys I was training at Vinnies Gym was the Ravenshoe Mayor's son and he had become the spokesman for the Ravenshoe boys. 

Ravenshoe's Mayor and his son and his friend's will not say one good word regarding the Society after this behaviour. 

YES MY MONEY AGAIN and I received

 "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".  

What a reward?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

McAuliffe is a weak individual that let his very very very close friend Maree Fell destroy Francine Cairns Youth coordinator, [this was someone's daughter].

McAuliffe gave Jude his word he would not close the Vinnies Gym down, then closed it down with the aid of Society Mr. ceo "life's tough" Maher. And also with his very very very close friend Maree Fell.

 JUST because I eye ball to eye told them and every person present in the Vinnies Gym that he is not a proper man after taking from Francine Cairns Youth coordinator a detailed documented account of all bullying and harassment she received by his very very very close friend Maree Fell and handed it back to her. 

He uses a free car, free petrol; he used thousands of dollars renting an empty building 

[Poor money] not his money from September 2005 till February 2006 just for spite; 

[His reason for closing the Gym he stated publicly was he had no money] and the way he throws it away it could very soon be true. 

He is using an unknown amount to store all my equipment in Sea Containers since September 2005 and he is continuing to pay this unknown amount.                                                                                                                                            

Bishop James Foley requested Jude to meet with McAuliffe and him, she said she would so a meeting was arranged. 

What McAuliffe is keeping secret is when he had all my equipment moved in their clandestine way. They also took numerous pieces of equipment that belonged to people using Vinnies Gym that still belongs to them.    

 Many [when it was possible to contacted this individual] he is in hiding now because so many people with some very expensive equipment he has hidden want it back and are prepared to whack him if they could find him.

Pat Hawke in charge of Cairns Port Authority contacted McAuliffe so many times telling him he was visiting his family in Tasmania when McAuliffe using his clandestine way closed the Gym. 

So can he please have his personal property back? 

The latest excuse Pat Hawke received from McAuliffe was he cannot find anyone in the whole Society that is willing to go to his secret hide away in case I am there.

 Pat.Hawke @cairnsport.com.au

Pat Hawke told me and my wife when he was talking to McAuliffe he said "I am not or either is anyone else game to go near that lunatic he should be stopped from being near children." 

Pat Hawke also told JUDITH TIERNEY McAuliffe said "she thinks she is so smart...."

This stopped Judith Tierney going to the meeting Cairns Bishop James Foley had arranged with McAuliffe and Judith and Bishop James Foley.

This meeting was to have McAuliffe return all the property belonging to numerous people in Cairns and a Federal Government Department.

In the gym to make it look professional I loaned the Gym and put up on the wall myself numerous Autographed boxing photos, this was a way a keeping the kids involved because they knew it was not a Mickey Mouse joint.

McAuliffe removed my Autographed boxing photos from the wall with a crow bar - yes a crow bar that is how much he hates me and Jude.

It was as an appointed St Vincent de Paul Qld State Vice President that I witnessed this disgusting behaviour of these officials.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that the independent GYM reviewer Hogan a friend of St Vincent de Paul CEO Maher, stated to me that one of the reasons Maher closed the gym was my husband "got up to many noses" and I hope you people are not accusing me of lying.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I sat in a four hour tele-conference wasting my time listening to Jack Williams retired barrister and life long member of the society, with him stating to the Qld council members that if they did not start legal proceeding to retrieve $130 million dollars given away illegally he would make this public and so he did with the help of the Australian newspaper.

I have a copy of this memorandum!

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I can prove the society CEO Maher lied again when he made it public that it was a unanimous decision made by the all members of the Qld state council it was not an unanimous decision at all.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I witnessed the Cairns society's Maree Fell harass and bully Francine Kubanek youth coordinator, Rhonda Wallace.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I witnessed with others, Maree Fell harass a very elderly lady volunteer demanding this lady to forge Maree Fells signature.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I reported huge amounts of stealing from donated goods to Qld St Vincent de Paul's State President Michael McKeown.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that Michael McKeown told me CEO Maher had sent registered letters to my husband banning him from Vinnies Gym because CEO Maher stated publicly in front of witnesses that my husband KING HIT A CHILD.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that Hogan gym reviewer friend of CEO Maher confirmed with me that CEO Maher stated he HAD sent my husband registered letters that have still not arrived.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I asked Maree Fell to stop allowing sealed food packages being opened and put into plastic bags with volunteers bare hands then handed out to the public.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I escorted Rhonda Wallace that was bullied by Maree Fell so much to Qld Work Place Health & Safety department and to the anti-discrimination department.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President I went with my husband and Rhonda Wallace to meet with Qld Work Place Health & Safety department Steve Lamb. 

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I sent registered documents to the Director of Qld Work Place Health & Safety department again with no response.

But more importantly I met with my friend Cairns Catholic Bishop James Foley that confirmed all my husbands donated equipment is still my husband's. 

St Vincent de Paul society's FNQ president McAuliffe is still paying for my husbands donated equipment but also some Cairns community's member's personal belongings  that McAuliffe refuses to give back even after Qld police minister Spence knowing this is so.

While with Bishop James Foley I told him the real reason the society closed Vinnies Gym was my husband and three Vinnies Gym instructors informed our Prime Minister John Howard of harassment from Society's official to falsify indigenous numbers to gain government grants, and my husband sent Society's CEO Maher emails informing him of the amount of stealing bulling harassment 

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President when International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha all from the TV local news  [I have the video] ask my husband to take his project overseas in poor countries for the Society. That I witnessed the mentally ill being abused by St Vincent de Paul officials also in my appointed position as a St Vincent de Paul Qld State Vice President.

We are women that were bullied to the point of suicide, harassed daily, lied to, insulted. 

As a Professional Director of Psychiatric Hospitals having spent most of my life caring for men with psychiatric problems, believing that if I ever needed help Australian men would help me.

How wrong can one be?

I was brought up to believe Australian men cared for their women again how wrong can one be?

I am totally disgusted that you men could be so weak, so uncaring so callus and knowing all through this charade that you had no intention of helping us.

We will show you what real men will do for us.

A totally disgusted

Not long after we met I called St Vincents De Paul regarding the gym equipment, i was advised the equipment is being used for a gym in Ravenshoe. 

The person i spoke with was Maree Fell if i remember correctly. The call was placed at circa 0930. 

I hope this helps. 

Go well Jim.

 The principal of res ipsa loquitur

THE NEW AUSTRALIAN CONSULTANT PSYCHIATRISTS John Campbell said and McAuliffe agreed!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judith Tierney is by profession a Director of Psychiatric Hospitals and was a Society Qld vice State President she was also their Mental Health advisor if ever they get back the collective amount of now $324 million dollars the Society gave away illegally to finance Ozcare. 

Yet my wife Judith is now under the care of her Consultant psychiatrist Doctor Dr Jeff Taylor.

Why because of these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials John Campbell, McAuliffe, Society ceo Maher, Society secret holder of donated money and expert bully instructor Maree fell. 

And Campbell and McAuliffe have the audacity to publicly deceive Cairns community that they care for the mentally ill, this lot created more with mental illness than we could help.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mentally ill end up on street 

Sonia Campbell  

INADEQUATE services for the mentally ill continue to compound the region's homeless crisis, with many ending up on the streets or behind bars. 

St Vincent de Paul believes the move away from institutionalising people with mental illness over recent years, has dramatically increased the rate of homelessness and imprisonment.

"Three years ago I would have said 30 per cent (of homeless people) had a mental health problem, now I would say 80 to 100 per cent would." 

Vice president of St Vincent's Queensland State Council John Campbell said. 

St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

 "Of the people we see (in the far north), it's between 60 and 80 per cent of these people who have some form of mental health problems..whether it is depression or alcohol dependency or whatever," Mr Mcauliffe said. 

Mr McAuliffe agreed a large problem facing relief organisation was there lack of experience in dealing with the mentally ill. 

Mr Campbell said the mentally ill also were let down by the legal system, with many ending up in jail unnecessary for minor offences or misunderstandings. 

He said an early intervention scheme was needed to assess mentally ill people, who were charged with criminal offences, before they reached the courts.  

The principal of res ipsa loquitur appalling behaviour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 McAuliffe and John Campbell are just two out of all these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials. 

This pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular, had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness. 

Campbell is an X insurance seller and expert bully of women.

McAuliffe's occupation is the same as the one Jesus Christ threw out of the temple. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Mental Health experts and bullys John Campbell at it again - He is now publicly stating he has the expertise to make calls through the media on the percentage HE THINKS suffer from mental Health illness.  John Campbell was a salesman. 

And below I will give you all, their creditability as humans never mind professing to be psychologists or psychiatrists.  Campbell and McAuliffe this pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness.

Vinnies' Catholic bias put on trial        

Michael McKenna
09apr07

THE ruling Catholic leadership of the St Vincent de Paul Society faces trial over alleged religious discrimination after telling one of its leaders to convert or resign as an office-holder.

The welfare organisation, founded in Paris in 1833, may be forced to change its constitution in Australia because of the looming case in Queensland's Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, brought by former volunteer and local area president Linda Walsh, a Presbyterian. Ms Walsh was a leading light in the organisation for more than six years, working full-time - as one of the 5000 non-Catholics in the society's 8000-strong volunteer force in Queensland - with refugees and migrants, and holding the elected position of president of three local conferences, or area groups, in Brisbane. But in 2004, despite being previously open about her religious status, the State Council of the society allegedly informed her that her "non-Catholic" status had become a "point of contention for some members" of the organisation. Ms Walsh said she was then advised she had three options: to become a Catholic, resign her elected position and remain with the society only as a member, or leave the society. 

She has not worked with the organisation since. Instead, the mother of four launched legal action against the society, seeking financial damages for pain and suffering, and changes to the worldwide constitution banning non-Catholics from leadership positions except in extreme cases. 

The society last week lost its bid to have the action thrown out on the grounds it was "frivolous and trivial" and that the ban is exempt from Australia's anti-discrimination laws because it constituted a "genuine occupational requirement". In its plea to the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, the society said a worldwide review of its constitution in 2003 had stated that the "Catholic beliefs and ethos" of the organisation must be preserved. The society's state president, John Campbell, said the organisation welcomed volunteers and staff from "all walks of life" and that assistance was provided to anyone in need. "But presidents, vice-presidents and spiritual advisers must be Catholic to maintain the ethos of the society," he said. "The society is an international Catholic organisation that consists of many people who volunteer their time to do good works. Some do this to deepen their Catholic faith in a practical way, while others simply want to make a real difference in their community." Ms Walsh's solicitor, Rob Stevenson of Nathan Lawyers, said there was no reason why his client should be excluded from leadership positions with St Vincent de Paul. 

"She was working full-time for the society, doing good work and holding significant positions," he said. 

"It was no secret she was not a Catholic -she had made it known when she began volunteering and before she was elected to these positions and no one objected. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Two of Australia's Mental Health experts and bullys Drs John Campbell and McAuliffe at it again

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STRESS: Volunteer Linda Walsh

Damages claims against Vinnies

 A WOMAN who says the St Vincent de Paul Society discriminated against her because she was not Catholic is seeking damages for stress and humiliation.

Linda Walsh volunteered with the Catholic lay society for 6 ½ years and was voted into important positions, including president of several conferences.

In her claim before the Anti-Discrimination Commission, the Brisbane woman, 51, says that in most of that time it was not an issue that she was not a Catholic. 

But in January 2004 she was told that her being a non-Catholic had become a contention. 

She was given three choices - become a Catholic, resign her conference president's position and remain a member or leave the society.

She is claiming dis-crimination on the basis of religious belief and activity and has won the first round in her case.

Last month, the Anti-Discrimination Tri-bunal rejected an application by the Queensland branch of the society to have the case thrown out. 

It will now get go to a tribunal hearing.

Rhonda Wallace worked as a St Vincent de Paul Cairns depot manager she was bullied enough by St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell for her to contemplate KILLING HERSELF. She had to leave her work numerous times because of high blood pressure. Anxiety and panic attacks made her want kill herself. After reporting the consistent levels of intensity she was subjected too in written format, and verbal to Qld WPH&S Cairns Regional manager Steve Lamb. 

Lamb refused to answer questions put to him by Rhonda Wallace and Judith Tierney. 

James Victor Tierney escorted these two bulled ladies to Cairns WPH&S office, where Lamb refused to respond to Judith Tierney's question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 

"You were told by me that this Society had GRIEVANCE POLICIES IN PLACE my question to you as the WPH&S Cairns Regional manager who are the Society accountable too when the Society does not follow their GRIEVANCE POLICIES  they have in place like in my case and Rhonda Wallace's, Jim Tierney.

Qld WPH&S Cairns Regional manager Steve Lamb called his inspectors to call the police and have us removed, what a cunning way to not have to respond to Judith Tierney very SPECIFIC QUESTION. 

Rhonda Wallace also reported all her bullying episodes to the Qld Anti-Discrimination department, no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace from this department.

I reported it to the then Prime Minister John Howard, Qld Premier Peter Beatie, the percent Qld Premier no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace.  

The facts are all of the victims of the Qld Society of St Vincent De Paul have received no assistance from any Qld government minister past and present or any Qld government department past and present.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is another copy of the letter Rhonda Wallace sent years ago to Qld WPH&S director and Qld departments no assistance was given to Rhonda Wallace from this department.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RHONDA WALLACE                    

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was employed as a Depot manager for the Society of St Vincent de Paul for a number of years.                                                         

 I resigned from this position in May 2004 because the following reasons.

I was consistently harassed by the administrator Mrs Maree Fell over issues I had no control over. 

The normal procedure was for, and had been for many years, that the depot manager would take home the depot vehicle in order to pick up volunteers and donations if need be, while travelling to or from work. With no reason or explanation Mrs Fell contacted me at work to inform me that I would no longer be allowed to drive the vehicle home. Rumours were began and circulated among other staff members and volunteers. 

These rumours were concerning my sexuality, and so I should not be working for the Catholic society.

 I took legal advice and a letter was sent to one person who I knew to be involved in these matters. However it did not stop. 

Mrs Fell would fail to give me enough notice of pending meetings or time to compose a report for a certain meeting, and then embarrass me by making remarks about these issues in front of other staff and volunteers. 

Eventually I refused to attend meeting with Mrs Fell or the Diocesan President Marc King without my union rep being present. 

One of the volunteers signed and had witnessed a Statutory Declaration stating he had witnessed two staff members speaking about this issue and then repeating it to a volunteer; this was given to the administrator. 

I attempted to have this matter dealt with by the Diocesan President Marc King, with no response. 

I had several days off work because of stress, twice I went to the hospital as a result of blood pressure. 

This constant intimidation and harassment eventually reduced me to such a desperate state, that I very seriously considered suicide. 

I was so depressed that I purchased the hose pipe and tape in order to kill myself in my car. 

I had also saved up sleeping tablets that had been prescribed to me. 

At about this time I had found another job, and so handed in my resignation to the Diocesan President, he asked me to reconsider and prayed over me, which I did but when I returned the next day the administrator said it was too late my resignation was accepted. 

This was said to me in an intimidating way. 

To my knowledge the Statutory Declaration and my attempts to address these issues were never taken any further than the Administrators office.

 It is only now that I am able to tell my friends of my contemplated suicide, and feel mentally able to address these issues.  A friend of mine has recently told me that the Diocesan President Marc King, had said to him that he wished I would leave, as he didn't want me in this job. This statement was made well before my resignation. 

I have copies of letters of support from volunteers, union rep. and the Solicitors letter. 

I kept a record of all these issues on a day to day basis. 

Yours truly, 

RHONDA WALLACE

 Cairns St Vincent de Paul emergency relieve volunteers opening sealed breakfast cereal boxes with bare hands reaching into the now opened boxes and bringing out maybe 3 / 4 cereal biscuits depending on what mood these charlatans are in then putting them into any handy  plastic bag then handed out to the people. 

Judith Elizabeth Tierney when holding the official rank of Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice president approached St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator and expert bully trainer Maree Fell and the Man that prays over his victims Mark King and demanded they consider the victims dignity. And stop their actions now!  She was told by Maree Fell expert bully to mind her own business as it had nothing to do with her because she was a Qld State president. Judith rang St Vincent de Paul Brisbane head office informing on the Cairns emergency relieve system in place - but more importantly to cover herself  in case any of the community was poisoned. Eventually this system of dealing with the hungry was stopped.        

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was at the time before Maree Fell and Mr King had a fall out over who would be blamed for spending $54,000 dollars on a rented building or stolen by King Maree Fell said to Jim Tierney.

Judith Tierney has stated the Society has grievance policies, which should in fact have dealt with the issues.   

N Because of women complaining and nothing again done about these complaints 

re: a number of extremely important official complaint reports where handed to Cairns Society administrator Maree Fell at her Cairns office regarding St Vincent de Paul Work Place Health & Safety representative Peter O'Shaughnessy these reports never surfaced!       

They were complaints that every time Peter O'Shaughnessy was in front of women he would deliberately maul his genitals, or hold and rub his balls as it has been described.  

Qld St Vincent de Paul state vice president Judith Elizabeth Tierney told him to stop doing it when he did it in front of her.                         

Rhonda Wallace reported this obscene behaviour to Marc King.           

This unreported obscene act was deliberately hidden from the police.

Rhonda Wallace has been slandered by St Vincent de Paul Cairns Work Place Health & Safety representative Peter O'Shaughnessy who deliberately mauls his genitals, or holds and rubs his balls, in front of her. N                                                                                                                                                                            

I personally witnessed the appalling behaviour of Maree Fell towards Francine Kubanek while I was with Francine in her Society office making final arrangements for the Anti-Rape classes we had arranged with St Monica's college. 

97 students had indicated they wished to participate in my programme. 

Francine, also trying to follow the correct procedure, put in writing a detailed account of her treatment by Maree Fell, and presented it to her next higher authority, Mcauliffe; he read the now official document and returned it to her.  

Again no action taken by this hypocrite that stood there and watched a young lady be totally destroyed by Maree Fell and did nothing! 

The Society has more of my property in Mareebra and Ravenshoe and Logan city but tried to fool the public that Cairns was a one off project.

Mental Health expert and bully John Campbell and St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry  Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

Subject:    Attention state president Michael Mckeown. 

Dignity

Michael I know you could not care less.

But just for the sake of my honour and so that you can never say you have not been told - my wife 

Jude you're once representative here in Cairns is extremely ill and I mean extremely. 

She has tried numerous times to ring you but it seems all phones in Brisbane do not reach Cairns anymore. 

A psychiatrist who fortunately is a good friend of both of us is supervising her.

She genuinely thought you would help her when help was needed, your lack of support has destroyed her faith and for that i hope you are proud.

I do not really expect a response, as I am sure you will follow the SVDP way of ignoring a problem in the eventuality it will just go away.

I also hope you remember why Jude and I met with you and Mr. Barry in Brisbane.

But I assure you and your CEO I most certainly will not go away even if I have to take up the charitable offer from my friend a true man of God and a barrister in Liverpool to visit me to help clear my name. 

As it seems to me solicitors in Australia except the Society's just get ignored.  

You where welcomed in my home whenever you where in Cairns and you just turned your back on Jude. 

What makes it even harder to understand is when I first met you I asked you if you were in anyone's pocket? 

Your answer was "I am my own man". 

As for me like Jesus Christ you and your ceo have tried to crucify me, humiliated me to an extent I hope you never have to feel. You never even asked me what the conversation was about in the gym with Maree Fell and the president McAuliffe but everyone shortly will know. 

I am going to ask you as the State President an alleged man of God to make your CEO send the clearly defined information requested by my solicitor to him. 

So I can conclude the process to clear my Catholic name. 

Ending on one last appeal could you return my book you have been asked to return on numerous occasions.

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.

[email-masked]  McAuliffe's email

Trish 

Pass on to Veronica the Bishop told me tonight that St Vincent de Paul's McAuliffe is selling all the kitchen and other stuff she donated to the gym in two weeks.                                                                   

That is if it has not already been pinched by one of these thieves - Tell her they have said publicly she or the ALH group did not donate anything period.

Judy told Dean Lock that Veronica's group donated lots of things that are missing.

The reason is that the ceo peter Maher lied to Dean lock owner of the building that housed Vinnies Gym - Maher told Dean lock that he personally through the Society bought the kitchen and white goods and all the other stuff the ALH group gave to the gym.

This was in response to Dean Lock asking Maher where all the equipment was if he paid for it as it was not in the building after the gym closed. 

I will give you McAuliffe's email so Veronica can tell these thieves and liars to return the stuff that was donated to the gym to her or the group- especially after Peter Maher lied to Dean Lock. 

 Dean Lock complained to maher so maher thinking no one would find out told Dean Lock to stop complaining as he did well out of the society with him buying all the gear the ALH group donated.

 Trish tell her not to let these thieves and women bullys walk, they will not expect

the ALH group or Veronica to know about their deceit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Anti-Rape course was deliberately sabotage by McAuliffe and Fell from QLD St Vincent de Paul.                                               

International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha asked Jude to make a CD of all the activities I had operational in Vinnies Gym. He copied the CD Jude sent him and put it on the International Society web page.  José, Jude and me continually kept contact with each other, as he had requested me to help him set up my projects in more countries than Australia. I was so thrilled that he was as troubled with drug barons controlling our children as Jude and me were. I said we would help set my projects in any country for him. 

This was in progress as Maher, McAuliffe and Maree Fell deliberately destroyed not only Vinnies Gym in Cairns, but all the other gyms in Australia. Ravenshoe was the second as the QLD State Council released $100,000 after advice from me via Jude.                                                                                                                                                                        

What most in this Australian Society do not know was the Society person responsible for the pommie Bastard statement had a personal agenda with his Society friend. 

They wanted to use the building that a $100,000 had been released [from donated money for the poor] to sell computers from a Computer shop belonging to one of this individuals, in the pretence of teaching kids to become computer literate. 

After reviewing the plans of the building in Ravenshoe I paid for a boxing ring to be built, 

I also paid for a Multi-Weight Training Unit for the kids to use in their Ravenshoe Gym.                                                              

Les Smith will confirm any of this because it was him that asked Jude to ask me, if I would do it after he discovered the kids in Ravenshoe had set up their own boxing gym in a dangerous railway building that was ready for demolition. 

And being a caring person was concerned these boys could be killed using this dangerous building as a boxing Gym. 

For more confirmation one of the boys I was training at Vinnies Gym was the Ravenshoe Mayor's son and he had become the spokesman for the Ravenshoe boys. 

Ravenshoe's Mayor and his son and his friend's will not say one good word regarding the Society after this behaviour. 

YES MY MONEY AGAIN and I received

 "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".  

What a reward?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

McAuliffe is a weak individual that let his very very very close friend Maree Fell destroy Francine Cairns Youth coordinator, [this was someone's daughter].

McAuliffe gave Jude his word he would not close the Vinnies Gym down, then closed it down with the aid of Society Mr. ceo "life's tough" Maher. And also with his very very very close friend Maree Fell.

 JUST because I eye ball to eye told them and every person present in the Vinnies Gym that he is not a proper man after taking from Francine Cairns Youth coordinator a detailed documented account of all bullying and harassment she received by his very very very close friend Maree Fell and handed it back to her. 

He uses a free car, free petrol; he used thousands of dollars renting an empty building 

[Poor money] not his money from September 2005 till February 2006 just for spite; 

[His reason for closing the Gym he stated publicly was he had no money] and the way he throws it away it could very soon be true. 

He is using an unknown amount to store all my equipment in Sea Containers since September 2005 and he is continuing to pay this unknown amount.                                                                                                                                            

Bishop James Foley requested Jude to meet with McAuliffe and him, she said she would so a meeting was arranged. 

What McAuliffe is keeping secret is when he had all my equipment moved in their clandestine way. They also took numerous pieces of equipment that belonged to people using Vinnies Gym that still belongs to them.    

 Many [when it was possible to contacted this individual] he is in hiding now because so many people with some very expensive equipment he has hidden want it back and are prepared to whack him if they could find him.

Pat Hawke in charge of Cairns Port Authority contacted McAuliffe so many times telling him he was visiting his family in Tasmania when McAuliffe using his clandestine way closed the Gym. 

So can he please have his personal property back? 

The latest excuse Pat Hawke received from McAuliffe was he cannot find anyone in the whole Society that is willing to go to his secret hide away in case I am there.

 Pat.Hawke @cairnsport.com.au

Pat Hawke told me and my wife when he was talking to McAuliffe he said "I am not or either is anyone else game to go near that lunatic he should be stopped from being near children." 

Pat Hawke also told JUDITH TIERNEY McAuliffe said "she thinks she is so smart...."

This stopped Judith Tierney going to the meeting Cairns Bishop James Foley had arranged with McAuliffe and Judith and Bishop James Foley.

This meeting was to have McAuliffe return all the property belonging to numerous people in Cairns and a Federal Government Department.

In the gym to make it look professional I loaned the Gym and put up on the wall myself numerous Autographed boxing photos, this was a way a keeping the kids involved because they knew it was not a Mickey Mouse joint.

McAuliffe removed my Autographed boxing photos from the wall with a crow bar - yes a crow bar that is how much he hates me and Jude.

It was as an appointed St Vincent de Paul Qld State Vice President that I witnessed this disgusting behaviour of these officials.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that the independent GYM reviewer Hogan a friend of St Vincent de Paul CEO Maher, stated to me that one of the reasons Maher closed the gym was my husband "got up to many noses" and I hope you people are not accusing me of lying.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I sat in a four hour tele-conference wasting my time listening to Jack Williams retired barrister and life long member of the society, with him stating to the Qld council members that if they did not start legal proceeding to retrieve $130 million dollars given away illegally he would make this public and so he did with the help of the Australian newspaper.

I have a copy of this memorandum!

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I can prove the society CEO Maher lied again when he made it public that it was a unanimous decision made by the all members of the Qld state council it was not an unanimous decision at all.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I witnessed the Cairns society's Maree Fell harass and bully Francine Kubanek youth coordinator, Rhonda Wallace.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I witnessed with others, Maree Fell harass a very elderly lady volunteer demanding this lady to forge Maree Fells signature.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I reported huge amounts of stealing from donated goods to Qld St Vincent de Paul's State President Michael McKeown.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that Michael McKeown told me CEO Maher had sent registered letters to my husband banning him from Vinnies Gym because CEO Maher stated publicly in front of witnesses that my husband KING HIT A CHILD.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that Hogan gym reviewer friend of CEO Maher confirmed with me that CEO Maher stated he HAD sent my husband registered letters that have still not arrived.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I asked Maree Fell to stop allowing sealed food packages being opened and put into plastic bags with volunteers bare hands then handed out to the public.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I escorted Rhonda Wallace that was bullied by Maree Fell so much to Qld Work Place Health & Safety department and to the anti-discrimination department.

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President I went with my husband and Rhonda Wallace to meet with Qld Work Place Health & Safety department Steve Lamb. 

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President that I sent registered documents to the Director of Qld Work Place Health & Safety department again with no response.

But more importantly I met with my friend Cairns Catholic Bishop James Foley that confirmed all my husbands donated equipment is still my husband's. 

St Vincent de Paul society's FNQ president McAuliffe is still paying for my husbands donated equipment but also some Cairns community's member's personal belongings  that McAuliffe refuses to give back even after Qld police minister Spence knowing this is so.

While with Bishop James Foley I told him the real reason the society closed Vinnies Gym was my husband and three Vinnies Gym instructors informed our Prime Minister John Howard of harassment from Society's official to falsify indigenous numbers to gain government grants, and my husband sent Society's CEO Maher emails informing him of the amount of stealing bulling harassment 

It was as an appointed Qld St Vincent de Paul State Vice President when International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha all from the TV local news  [I have the video] ask my husband to take his project overseas in poor countries for the Society. That I witnessed the mentally ill being abused by St Vincent de Paul officials also in my appointed position as a St Vincent de Paul Qld State Vice President.

We are women that were bullied to the point of suicide, harassed daily, lied to, insulted. 

As a Professional Director of Psychiatric Hospitals having spent most of my life caring for men with psychiatric problems, believing that if I ever needed help Australian men would help me.

How wrong can one be?

I was brought up to believe Australian men cared for their women again how wrong can one be?

I am totally disgusted that you men could be so weak, so uncaring so callus and knowing all through this charade that you had no intention of helping us.

We will show you what real men will do for us.

A totally disgusted

And Maher statements about me.

This is another nail in the coffin for these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials. 

Campbell told Judy all my Conditionally donated equipment he sent to an unnamed aboriginal group. Yet Maree Fell via the W.W.W. told the world it is getting used for a gym in Ravenshoe you may not remember but Jude had a $100,000 released for my gym via the Society in Ravenshoe it never went ahead even after me paying for a pro boxing ring for the kids there. Les Smith asked me to help the kids there they were training in a dagerous railway shed so I paid more money for kids. When Marc King and Jude went to see if it was ready for me to essemble Jude was told by the person that wanted to sell computers in the gym area - WE DON'T WANT THAT POMMIE BASTARD COMING UP HERE TELLING US WHAT TO DO." AND AGAIN I LOST A GREAT DEAL OF MY MONEY HELPING KIDS. I NEVER SAW LES SMITH AFTER THAT.

 HI Judy

It is not a case that I have nothing to say but rather I have on involvement with the organisation or contact with anyone associated with that organisation 

as many of the people who have wronged you and Jimmy have done the same to me  and I have no wish to have contact with them. 

On  a personal level I am struggling to cope with my youngest son who has significant mental health issues including severe depression and anxiety complicated by  suffering from Asperger syndrome. 

I think that you know  from your past professional background how demanding that can be on a family and trying to hold down a job. 

On a personal level I injured back at work  and I now have a damaged back with ongoing pain and I also have a heart condition.

I wish you and Jimmy well for the future.

Cairns Post newspaper reporter Sonia Campbell.  

Mentally ill end up on street 

Sonia Campbell  

INADEQUATE services for the mentally ill continue to compound the region's homeless crisis, with many ending up on the streets or behind bars. 

St Vincent de Paul believes the move away from institutionalising people with mental illness over recent years, has dramatically increased the rate of homelessness and imprisonment.

"Three years ago I would have said 30 per cent (of homeless people) had a mental health problem, now I would say 80 to 100 per cent would." 

Vice president of St Vincent's Queensland State Council John Campbell said. 

St Vincent's far northern branch chairman jerry Mcauliffe agreed the figures had grown markedly.

 "Of the people we see (in the far north), it's between 60 and 80 per cent of these people who have some form of mental health problems..whether it is depression or alcohol dependency or whatever," Mr Mcauliffe said. 

Mr McAuliffe agreed a large problem facing relief organisation was there lack of experience in dealing with the mentally ill. 

Mr Campbell said the mentally ill also were let down by the legal system, with many ending up in jail unnecessary for minor offences or misunderstandings. 

He said an early intervention scheme was needed to assess mentally ill people, who were charged with criminal offences, before they reached the courts.  

The principal of res ipsa loquitur appalling behaviour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 McAuliffe and John Campbell are just two out of all these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials. 

This pair of Society thieves and bullys of women in particular, had the audacity to give percentages of the people that suffer from mental illness. 

Campbell is an X insurance seller and expert bully of women.

McAuliffe's occupation is the same as the individual Jesus Christ threw out of the temple. 

Recent Mental Health experts and bullys John Campbell & McAuliffe's at it again - 

They are now publicly stating they have the expertise to make calls through the media on the percentage THEY THINK suffer from mental Health illness.  

And below I will give you all, their creditability as humans never mind professing to be psychologists or psychiatrists. 

My wife Judith Tierney is a highly Qualified experienced Psychiatric nurse and her last position was as a Director of Psychiatric Hospitals in NSW.

These two SELF PROCLAIMED mental health experts McAuliffe and Campbell and Society ceo Maher and Society Cairns administrator bully instructor Maree Fell directly because of their despicable bullying behaviour and lies to my Wife gave her a nervous breakdown.

Because of a negligent hospital procedure I  was left Chronic PTSD and Chronic major depression, Judith Tierney is my carer she is also my sons Scott's carer

she had a nervous breakdown so QLD Minister of DISABILITIES and COMMUNITIES can you advise me as my elected Minister what do my son and me do now. 

I have informed two Qld Premiers I have informed every Qld government department including Qld WPH&S and no one responds to me.

 I now understand when my name comes up you just bin my requests I am not a Conspiracy theorists or a mentally disturbed lunatic.

 I have spent most of my time in this country with my wife helping and supporting disadvantaged people. 

Yet when I need support from a Minister elected to care for my needs you think I am not important to even respond to me.

I have the same HUMAN RIGHTS as every Australian has, so why because I have exposed these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials. 

You may not like to believe what we say about these deceptive Society officials,

but every thing we have informed you they have done is TRUE and can be proved. 

So please as one of your constituents help me.

JIM TIERNEY

This is another reason my wife a professional in Mental Health resigned he appointed position in this Society as she was their Consultant in mental health.

This is something that has really exposed the Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul the World knows now as all documents we have sent to government officials and some of their responses are just sitting on the W.W.WEB in England and Europe.

Now we have started the ball rolling we are getting numerous hits asking questions as "how this crew of highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are allowed to get away with their despicable behaviour." 

Europe and now England have set up commissions to investigate any charity as most of England is inhabited by Protestants and Muslims the Catholic charities are accountable to a Commissioner that runs the investigations.

Imagine if we had a Charity Investigations Commissioner in Australia I would have a full time job just giving the Commissioner details. Such as this below -

Qld Society vice State President Judith Tierney was their Mental Health Consultant but resigned in disgust after this was sent to her being an appointed Qld State Vice President.

This is St Vincent de Paul's policy on helping the mentally ill they are using your tax to implement this appalling policy while pretending to help mentally disturbed souls.

One Day YOU may be under their control.

This is just a copy as Judith has the original -

Society's McAuliffe far north Qld diocesan president closed Vinnies Gym because I blew the whistle on him and his mates, has the gull to say the Vinnies Gym never looked after the appropriate people here they are sorting out low maintenance clients as if they are cars!!!

From Nick Nilsson
Author and Publisher of BetterU News

Hey, just wanted to drop you a very quick note - the "Muscle Nerd",
Jeff Anderson, is right now giving away one of his favorite
“do-it-yourself” supplement recipes on the website for his book
“Homemade Supplement Secrets.”

I just downloaded this recipe myself (it’s for making your own
pre-workout supplement formula) and it’s excellent info.  I’m
familiar with all the ingredients and I know they’re effective.
The whole book itself is actually quite good, if you’re interested
in grabbing it after checking out the recipe.

This recipe you’re going to get is a 2-phase intensity-boosting
pre-workout formula and includes a full explanation of how and
why it works.  You can put this recipe into action for just under
16 bucks a month, which is WAY cheaper than you can do with retail.

No need to sign up with your email or anything - just go to the
link below and download your recipe...and enjoy the results!

Click here to go grab your supplement recipe now...

http://www.fitstep.com/goto/oacb-supplements-recipe.htm

--------

I’ve also got a new issue of BetterU News on the way very soon with
some really cool stuff in it...

 - the most highly-effective training techniques you can use that will probably get you kicked out of a "normal" gym

 - is calorie-counting truly necessary for fat loss?

 - Dumbell Crawling – a truly INSANE-looking exercise that will work your core/abdominal area like NOTHING you’ve ever felt before.

Watch for it!

Nick

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SAY GO TO A WEB I CANNOT FIGURE THEM OUT I HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE.

All you Labor politicians may just keep binning my correspondence thinking I am crazy I am disabled not mad, and I find it personally 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 Maher and his deceptive unethical colleagues.

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

Show this to your colleagues and ask Mr Smart to read it considering he believes every thing

these thieves and bullys of women tell him. 

These clowns are paying big dollars from the poor box to THYNNE & MACARTNEY Society solicitors to retrieve the $130 million ++ dollars they gave away illegally the finances Ozcare. 

Ozcare are a separate entity to the Society and return no monies back to the Society. 

The Catholic Church sold a building to Ozcare and these clowns just keep on using donated money for the poor to get Ozcare to give the Society their money back this is scandalise behaviour from the custodians of money donated for the poor.

The fact that the Catholic Church sold Ozcare a building for $5 million dollars creates the

principal of res ipsa loquitur. Has the Labor Party drifted this far from its people? 

This is something the Society of St Vincent de Paul Qld would not want the public to know about.   

Judy was their Mental Health Consultant but resigned in disgust after this was sent to her being an appointed Qld State Vice President.

This is St Vincent de Paul's policy on helping the mentally ill they are using your tax to implement this appalling policy while pretending to help mentally disturbed souls. One Day YOU may be under their control.

 Jerry Mcauliffe SVDP Far North diocesan president paid for an empty building from September 2005 till February 2006 because the owner kept him to the lease this huge amount of money was taken directly from donated money for the poor.                                                         

McAuliffe said publicly the reason he closed the gym was lack of money.                                         

He is still using donated money for the poor to store my equipment that I donated for Vinnies Gym.

Sir,
I take it very serious when I am asked to help women that have been bullied to the point
of contemplating suicide, and others like my wife by profession a Director of psychiatric hospitals. Having a nervous breakdown especially when she is my carer as I am a victim of another individuals contempt for my welfare an anaesthetist that gave me too much muscle paralysing drugs and NO anaesthetic. I presented anaesthetised but was paralysed I was aware I had stopped breathing. I did not breath again for 30 minutes.
I effectively sued the hospital and the smart arse anaesthetist.
I went in to hospital for a simple procedure and came out with brain damage and chronic PTSD. 
And after what we have been through no sanctimonious pious St Vincent de Paul highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Qld Society officials will ever walk all over victims while every Qld Department lets them do it. 
All you ministers do is keep stalling us so do something for us please.
St Vincent de Paul Society Jerry McAuliffe Qld ceo Society Peter Maher and expert bully trainer Society Cairns administrator Maree Fell are all thieves liars and bullys and with the Labor ministers covering for them they just carry on until someone dies. And as I have every letter, every form of communication regarding these bullys collated, there covering up colleagues will be exposed as they are already on web sites in Europe.

SOCIETY OF VINCENT DE PAUL

JUDITH TIERNEY TRYING TO FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PROCEDURES A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

A letter sent to Qld St Vincent De Paul State President Michael Mckeown from his appointed Vice President Judith Tierney regarding the amount of bullying from Maree Fell, Jerry McAuliffe, and CEO Peter Maher copies of which are in the hands of government officials that are doing nothing.

To Qld SVDP State President Michael Mckeown from Judith Tierney his Qld SVDP VICE PRESIDENTS

Dear mike,    

You have often said that as members of the State Council we have a responsibility to the Council, Society and members or those working for the Society. I was reminded of this a few days ago by one of the people mentioned in this letter.  Some of these people are having discussions with the Workplace Health & Safety/ Anti-discrimination department. I know that you are aware of some of these issues in part, but for your information I will elaborate a little.  All of these people believe their concerns were addressed via the correct channels without the necessity or going outside the Society. Rhonda Wallace her comment to me was what has prompted me contact you. 

She said at the time she so seriously considered suicide that she purchased the hose pipe and tape with the intentions of carrying it out, she had not told anyone of her level of distress. She was at the time continually advised by many friends to resign. This she did, but on handing in her resignation to the diocesan president she was asked if it was what she really wanted? 

Told that she would be badly missed and that perhaps she should think about it she did reconsider but then to add to her distress and humiliation was told it was too late. It is only during the last week that I have ever heard Rhonda mention suicide.

She told me she was only now starting to think about the state mentally, she must have been in to even consider such a thing. 

Rhonda had spent much of her own time after work and weekends cleaning up around Society bins, and collected volunteers on her way to work she arrived at work one day to be informed she was no longer permitted to take the Society ute home and room was to be made available for it to be parked in the depot. No reason was offered. This was the first incident.

It was after this time complaints began arriving about mess around the bins.                   

She has kept a daily diary of all issues, correspondence between herself and administration.               Union representatives, solicitors who had sent a warning letter concerning the derogatory remarks that were being made about her and any paper work produced during this time.

During one period of time that a shop was being rearranged the administrator told a volunteer to go to a local hardware store for items and sign her (the administrators) signature to the society account.                                                                      

The volunteer said she did not wish to do this, she was then told "If I tell you too you will".    

There were several witnesses to this conversation, one of who was the depot manager.               This surely should be seen as verbal assault?

This was told to me by both the volunteer and the depot manager.                          

If this is so easy to say and direct someone to do the question how many times before or since comes to mind. 

There is one incident concerning a lady who had bruising on her arm. 

This bruising was caused by a male volunteer. 

This is common assault. 

I saw her at Anderson St some one hour later still so distressed she could not hold cup of coffee. 

She was waiting until she felt well enough to drive home.      

She had spoken with the youth worker and the diocesan president who told Rodney (the man involved) to go home. 

I suggested to her that an incident report should be handed to Maree Fell the next day. 

Rodney had at times verbally attacked other volunteers and Rhonda as depot manager. 

Maree and another volunteer decided the best way to handle this was to ensure they did not work together.

He is not there but just left on his own accord.                                                                        He has done this several times and then returned the lady continues to be afraid he will return and be welcome back. 

I don't know what transpired between Francine Kubanek and Maree Fell concerning the last youth camp, Peter Maher does I believe. 

What I do know is Francine was invited to join St. Ann's conference it was hoped with time the other youth workers may also become interested. 

She wished to continue working with the youth and as a volunteer with the Jim Anti-Rape classes. 

Do you have any idea how many hours and days Jim spent organizing this programme with the schools? 

 That has now been completely destroyed by the administrator.  

As 97 girls from one school have said they wish to do the course it was necessary Francine continue with this programme. However since that weekend Francine has apologised to the conference and said she will no longer be able to attend. 

The other youth workers who up till that weekend had trained at the gym and mixed with the youth there at least twice a week have not been seen. 

Maree Fell in just one more bullying incident has lost 6 young professional people. 

Francine's move to her own office did not decrease the level of bullying and intimidation she was subjected to from Maree Fell. 

She did attempt to address these issues through proper avenues. 

She gave a letter of complaint to the diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe he read it and then returned it to her; it is no secret in the Society any more that McAuliffe ands Maree Fell are extremely close. 

Francine Kubanek went to Brisbane in the hope that meeting CEO Peter Maher and having the opportunity to be honest when speaking with the CEO. 

CEO Maher was really, not concerned did not help her as his allegiance to McAuliffe and Maree Fell

is well known here. after Jim telling the CEO if he did not do something to stop this consistent bullying by Maree Fell supported by McAuliffe, Jim would do something. 

I understand COE Maher was furious at Jim COE Maher thought that no one would hear him vilifying poms, because he was so furious at Jim. 

Francine's parting words were "I hope never to hear the name St. Vincent de Paul again".

As is always the outcome in such cases, the most disadvantaged continue to be the only ones truly disadvantaged, in this case the youth. 

It will not reflect well on the Society if Jims Anti-Rape courses are just disregarded without explanation. And if an explanation is to be offered then by whom?

Regarding the old wares I know you were, told this was a unanimous decision, what you don't know is the volunteers at this meeting had previously been told that I no longer wish to do it. 

Not true.

It was a store co coordinators meeting and not a diocesan council meeting.                       

At that meeting it was also decided that old ware would go to the shops. 

This I know for a fact has not happened, so where are they?                                   

They were not only being donated because I was collecting them. 

I also know that the Society lost a considerable amount of money by selling items for much less than they should have realised.                                                                                                                                     

I had been doing this with the full support of the volunteers they themselves would put items aside for me to see), I feel disgusted that this discussion took place at a meeting that I was not invited to. 

If it was truly the wish of volunteers I firmly believe they would have told me in a way other then a curt email this email was opened by Jim. 

When he saw how distressed I became he contacted you, John Campbell and Peter Maher. 

When he next saw the diocesan president McAuliffe he asked why the diocesan president (McAuliffe) didn't have the manners to inform me himself as he had been at that meeting. 

Jim asked him if the position of State Vice President had any validity. 

Or is it only a female State Vice President that has no validity?

I don't know why this has suddenly become personal with Maree Fell towards me but it has, and has been commented on by other staff and volunteers.

This makes little or no sense since I was the one who arranged for Maree Fell to return working for society. 

In the last month or so many Vincentians have said they could have told me at the time of her return would end up causing trouble, typically no one said anything at the time. 

Maree Fell herself has told me it was not her decision or wish to transfer to then community services that is now a separate entity Ozcare.

I have never seen any paper work to give an indication of why, but there must have been a good reason for the diocesan president to go to that extreme. 

As you will be aware talk goes back and forth between those who work for Ozcare and the Society about possible outcomes. 

It has been said directly to me by two people that they look forward to working for the society if that comes about, but they will not be prepared to work under the supervision of Maree Fell again. 

Their words, "they had enough last time."

I was surprised last week to be told that those same concerns had been voiced to at least one other person.

With the level of bullying and intimidation that constantly goes on in Cairns area, I am left wondering if the Society's social justice policy does extend to its own volunteers. 

Some of the volunteers and staff would be willing to speak with you, others however are too afraid or fear of "being carpeted." The next obvious question is why or how I know of these issues?                                                                                           

The simple answer is I visit the stores and volunteers and am prepared to listen. People often only need to express their concerns (some real, some just displeasure), they feel better if they have talked about it and then it is forgotten.

Maree Fell has made it clear she would rather I didn't visit the shops or depot, but as a volunteer, Vincentian and State Vice President in a voluntary organisation I fail to see why I should stop. 

The position I represent here in Far North Queensland is undermined, dismissed or totally ignored. As I am your representative, were I you,             

I would wonder if the same disregard applied equally to the position of Queensland State President.

Yours truly,

Judy Tierney

I cannot get a higher reference in Queensland than John Briton Legal Services Commissioner.

Judith Tierney as my carer complained to the Legal Services Commission because these consistent lies from Society of St Vincent de Paul ceo Peter Maher was affecting both her health as my carer, and my health. No living person has EVER asked to see my professional boxing license why would they? And if ANYONE DID why would I not show it please!! 

Legal Services Commission - Our Ref: LMS 71002779      20 July 2006

John Briton Legal Services Commissioner....

You have asserted that Thynne & McCartney made a false statement about Mr Tierney in that they stated that Mr Tierney had previously been requested to provide a copy of his boxing trainer licence. I note particularly the wording of their letter:

"However, as your client has failed (despite request) to produce a copy of his license, the Society has not been able to verify that claim".

On my reading, these words infer that the St Vincent de Paul Society (the Society) has made previous requests to see Mr Tierney's licence.  

I appreciate Mr Tierney's circumstances and respect his opinion that the statement was intentionally false. 

Has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health.

I have been told by the St Vincent de Paul society to remove my equipment from the premises that were once a fitness centre.

As you act on their behalf I trust you can make arrangements for me to have a key. 

I have contacted the Cairns administrator who said no, it is not her responsibility; I have been unable to contact the president.                                                                                       

He has previously told me there are only 3 keys; he has 1 the other 2 are in the Cairns office.                                  

The removal of this equipment will take me weeks. 

Please let me know what the arrangements are ASAP.

JUDITH TIERNEY telling Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul State President Michael McKeown -

- Rhonda Wallace her comment to me was what has prompted me contact you. 

She said at the time she so seriously considered suicide that she purchased the hose pipe and tape with the intentions of carrying it out, she had not told anyone of her level of distress. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Official complaints where handed to the Cairns administrator Maree Fell regarding St Vincent de Paul WPH&S representative Peter O'Shaughnessy. These reports never left Mrs. Maree Fell's Cairns Anderson Street office. They were complaints that every time Peter O'Shaughnessy was stood in front of women he would deliberately maul his genitals, or hold and rub his balls as it has been described to me.                                                                                 

State Vice President Judith Tierney personally told him to stop doing it when he did it in front of her.

Rhonda Wallace reported these obscene acts to the then diocesan President Marc King.        

We wonder how many more complaints the Cairns Administrator Maree Fell threw away.    

 Because of women complaining and again nothing being done about these complaints I reported this behaviour to WPH&SAFTEY QLD DIRECTOR. 

Cairns WPH&SAFTEY regional manager Steve Lamb did nothing about this criminal obscene behaviour after I informed him. 

In fact this individual was not prepared to do anything about Maher's Fell's McAuliffe and any other member of the Society behaviour before I had a Liverpool type of conversation on the phone with this Steve Lamb.  

Cairns St Vincent de Paul WPH&S representative Peter O'Shaughnessy I understand was involved in these vicious and malicious rumours about Rhonda Wallace after Rhonda made her official complaints to Maree Fell.

 Warren Pitt Qld Communities minister - I am aware that the closure of St Vinnie's Gym impacted on a number of disadvantaged groups within the community.                                                        I have been informed that the gym was established in 2000 with donated equipment, and the original target group of the program was young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who could not afford, or were not comfortable in a standard commercial gymnasium.

Since the program's inception in 2000, disadvantaged people from all ages have used the facility as individuals, and as part of user paying groups. 

I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group. 

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                      Just one of many

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

 I recently attended a six week Anti-Rape Course conducted by Mr. Jim Tierney and have no hesitation in recommending this course to all women from high school age to 100 +. 

Mr. Tierney delivered the course in a no-nonsense, realistic, "as it is" manner - nothing was sugar - coated.

I am a 55 year old grandmother- the eight participants ranged in age from 12 to 6 2- and I personally had my whole attitude to survival turned completely around, eg I had previously been advised never to resist, but to passively accept, an attack. 

The most important thing I learned in this course was not only to resist, but to fight back, and with determination, 

in order to survive.

 I believe if girls aged from 12 or 13 had the opportunity to participate in this course, it would benefit them greatly their whole life, as awareness is surely the key.

Sincerely   

Christine Forrester

 The Society being a voluntary organisation must always be controlled and seen to be controlled by voluntary people.

With this in mind titles like executive director, executive secretary, ect., may at times give a wrong impression to organisations not conversant with our methods of operation. Accordingly administrative titles like general secretary or liaison officer are preferred.

National Council, June 1980. 

COPY FROM THE CONSTITUTION

VERSION 1 - PRINTED OCTOBER 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

!!  ceo Peter Maher he could not accept being an ordinary general secretary or worse still just a liaison officer come on he is a very important man!! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We made several official written complaints to the Government controlling body of the law Society. 

Because the law Society agreed that Maher and McAuliffe exacerbate my condition and caused Judith to have a nervous breakdown they advised us that we could primarily sue Maher and the Society separately. 

The reason the THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors get away with any retribution is simple - by law they only follow instructions it is not them that officially say anything to anyone it is ceo Peter Maher and McAuliffe, they instruct the Society solicitors. 

And because we can prove Maher and McAuliffe passed on lies, Maher is not allowed to use donated money for the poor to keep covering his lying arse. 

All official instructions to Society solicitors THYNNE & MACARTNEY are just that, INSTRUCTIONS. 

Because these instructions were given by Maher we are entitled to sue Maher and the Society. 

So I will get all the publicity I have been denied by the Society. 

But the best thing that came from this investigation is because Maher used the title of ceo and THE RULE of the Society recommends this title is not appropriate for a Voluntary Organisation, he takes all the hits because it was his instructions that THYNNE & MACARTNEY carried out and acted on.

So his legal defence fees cannot come from donated money for the poor, that he thought he could use indefinitely.  

He should now, pay his legal fees himself; simply because of the Constitution the Society has in place, or should follow to keep its tax concessions. 

This is because his conduct as a ceo is appalling.

 John Mickel

Why is it so so difficult for you as a man as well as a highly paid public servant whose wages and outragous pension we pay for from our tax. Need numerous lackeys, that are just letter writers for you. 

We all know and understand from professor Brian Martin that you most proberly never even read our correspondence to you PERSONALLY as you may feel you are to important to bother with victims such as us. 

And as I did not send it, or address it to any Robert Hough, I do not want a response from any Robert Hough, or indeed any other of your letter writers please.

Considering all these different policy advisors all you ministers desperately need are probable the same person as professor Brian Martin has made us understand the games you ministers play with your constituents once you are in office. You would not be in office if you showed your true colours before as well you all know. 

It is clear to us ALL again ALL remember not just me.

I addressed it to you the minister - if you are too important to not have the manners to respond to us personally then do not bother. 

You as a minister have a duty of care towards us victims you are supposed to help VICTIMS. You are not in office to cover up for these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive CATHOLIC Society officials BULLIES and thieves. 

Minister if women bullied and bashed has nothing to do with you or your office is it possible to YOU to advise us just who is responsible for the welfare of Australian women. 

And no more responses from your letter writers if it does not come from you do not bother then we will know we definitely are right about your games as we victims find it offensive to be answered by some office public servant. 

We sent today to the Far North Qld assistant police commissioner numerous documents regarding these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive CATHOLIC Society officials. 

And as I have said also to every Qld minister we put every resopnse we get from all your letter writers with your name on it on the internet.

But to more serious matters you have proven to us all you are going to cover up like all your other champagne socialists labor ministers for these Catholic lay thieves and bullies.

One day hopefully it may happen to some one belonging to one of you dishonourable ministers. How you have the gull to call yourselves The Honourable ? 

We have delt with the likes of Pitt that gives character references to convicted DRUG DEALERS

and he most certainly would not know what the word Honour meant!

Nor does any man or women that does not bend over backwards to help people bullied to the extent that we have received from these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive CATHOLIC Society officials.

LADIES that have contemplated SUICIDE because of being bullied by Maree Fell and McAuliffe and ceo Peter Maher bullied to the point of having nervous breakdowns and you do not want to be bothered shame on you shame on you.

How can you have the nerve to say issues raised relate internal interactions between yourself and officials [they are most certainly not OFFICERS] of the Society and the Catholic Church in Australia. 

We do not want you to intervene in these matters with CATHOLIC OFFICERS THAT ARE NOT OFFICERS IF YOU DO NOT MIND!! 

Intervene with the BULLING, the BULLING from ceo Peter Maher Maree Fell and pathological liar MvAuliffe. 

We are ALL REMEMBER ALL NOT JUST ME ALL sure there must be someone in some Queensland government department that deals with bulling we have seen it on the TV.

How do you men sleep at night knowing AUSTRALIAN WOMEN HAVE BEEN BULLIED SO SEVERELY AND YOU SO-CALLED MEN MAKE EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE YOU CANNOT DO SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS MORE LIKELY THE TRUTH.

Good God who are you people!!!!!!!

We  keep count now how many different letter answerers / policy advisors we have received nonsense from. I suppose this will be to tedious for such a important man as yourself but you can always read it all on the internet.

1 of 20 Pages I recommend they are all looked at and not just binned.

 If any thing happens to ANY OF the victims of this deceptive Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul Catholic charity of lay individuals. Qld Ministers and policy advisors and all the public servants that have covered up for these despicable creatures will have no excuse as to why none of you helped any of us when we have appealed to you all on numerous occasions. I have a disorder.

I am not intellectually retarded and it scares me if I get treated like this not being intimidated by any of you uncaring politicians, how it would be for me if I was intellectually retarded. You disgust all of us.

OUR SAY

MENTAL illness is a frightening disease and it's easy to throw stones at the medical professionals when suicide occurs.

Reasonable people accept some mentally ill patients are going to kill themselves and that will always be tragic. 

There are, however, just too many stories in the Far North of patients, asking for help from medical facilities and being sent away. 

The sad details of the suicide death of a Mareeba school teacher have been aired and the word sympathy doesn't cut it when one thinks about the family she has left behind and the pain she endured during her life. 

But what about the other Far Northern suicides - the ones that earlier this week sparked a coroner's probe.

The 66 -year-old man who was admitted to a Cook town Hospital in May last year and released without seeing a mental health expert; the 36 year-old man with a history of schizophrenia who was not even admitted to the Cairns Base Hospital even though he pleaded for help; the Kuranda teen who was treated, or not treated, in the same way. 

You can be damn sure a diabetic who turned up at an emergency department showing all the signs of an impending coma would not be sent home. 

Mental illness is still considered the poor relation of treatable illnesses and all the talk is getting us nowhere. 

Today, the average person knows so much about depression and its offshoots that suffering a panic attack at work is almost trendy.

Depressives are encouraged to talk about their feelings, take stress leave and ask for help so it comes as a rude shock to hear when get past the tell-your friends stage, 

an ill person presenting at a medical facility asking for help could well be told to go home, and do what?  

Snap out of it?

Suicide succeeds at seventh attempt Sister: "How many times does it take. before they get help"
Peter Michael

Chief reporter 

SHE cut her own throat not once - but three times.

     Both wrists slashed and head nearly severed, primary school teacher Patricia Van Putten, 49, stumbled across the road and collapsed on the doorstep of her sister's workplace.

"It was her seventh attempt," her sister Monique said yesterday.

"We begged everyone, doctors, psychiatrists, the Government, to keep her in hospital and give her intensive treatment. But they said there was nothing they could do." 

Last Saturday, six days after she was released from Cairns Base Hospital,

Ms Van Putten took a lethal overdose of pills and pesticide and of massive heart attack.

Health officials, mental health experts and the state coroner are investigating the circumstances behind the death.

Her grieving sister Monique yester day asked: "How many times does it take for someone to try to kill themselves before they get help?

"We begged them. 

They said she is a mature woman and if she wants to be discharged there is nothing they can do to stop it. even though they admitted she would try again."

During a six-month slide into darkness, the severely depressed Mareeba woman tried to take her own life many times. "She had been fairly unstable for most of her life," said her sister.

"I think what triggered it all was an earlier miscarriage, and then she stopped teaching about a year ago.

Things really started to fall apart. "But I do believe if they kept her in and gave her some intensive help she would still be alive today."

Queensland Health yesterday declined to comment on the case before the coronial investigation. But family friends of the Mareeba primary school teacher are calling for an independent probe into the state of mental health. 

"I just want to help some other poor bugger," Monique said. "We have been through six months of hell with all this.

It is time it all came to head and we had a proper investigation to look at the ststem which is failing so many families."

One Nation MP Rosa Long has vowed to champion the case in the Queensland Parliament next Tuesday.

SOCIETY OF VINCENT DE PAUL

JUDITH TIERNEY TRYING TO FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PROCEDURES REALISES IT IS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME IN QUEENSLAND.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

A copy of one of many letters sent to Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul State President Michael Mckeown 

from his vice president Judith Tierney regarding the amount of bullying from Maree Fell, Jerry McAuliffe, and ceo Peter Maher copies of which are in the hands of government officials that are doing nothing.

Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul State President Michael Mckeown after these letter issues resigned hastily and an individual with connections to Ozcare told us he understood Michael Mckeown was caught with his head in the trough and resigned. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                Michael Mckeown 

                                                                 St Vincent de Paul 

                                                             State President

Dear Mike,    

You have often said that as members of the State Council we have a responsibility to the Council, Society and members or those working for the Society. 

I was reminded of this a few days ago by one of the people mentioned in this letter.  

Some of these people are having discussions with the Workplace Health & Safety/ Anti-discrimination department. 

I know that you are aware of some of these issues in part, but for your information I will elaborate a little.  

All of these people believe their concerns were addressed via the correct channels without the necessity or going outside the Society. 

Rhonda Wallace her comment to me was what has prompted me contact you. 

She said at the time she so seriously considered suicide that she purchased the hose pipe and tape with the intentions of carrying it out, she had not told anyone of her level of distress. 

She was at the time continually advised by many friends to resign. 

This she did, but on handing in her resignation to the diocesan president Marc King asked if it was what she really wanted? 

Prior to Rhonda Wallace even considering resigning Marc King had told my husband Jim he did not want the likes of her [RHONDA] working for the Society

Yet Marc King told Rhonda that she would be badly missed and that perhaps she should think about it, Marc King then prayed over her. 

She did reconsider but then to add to her distress and humiliation was told it was too late. 

It is only during the last week that I have ever heard Rhonda mention suicide. She told me she was only now starting to think about the state mentally, she must have been in to even consider such a thing. 

Rhonda had spent much of her own time after work and weekends cleaning up around Society bins, and collected volunteers on her way to work she arrived at work one day to be informed she was no longer permitted to take the Society ute home and room was to be made available for it to be parked in the depot. No reason was offered. This was the first incident.

It was after this time complaints began arriving about mess around the bins.                                                                    

Rhonda has kept a daily diary of all issues, correspondence between herself and administration. 

Union representatives, solicitors who had sent a warning letter concerning the derogatory remarks that were being made about her and any paper work produced during this time.

During one period of time that a shop was being rearranged the administrator told a volunteer to go to a local hardware store for items and sign her (the administrators) signature to the society account.                                                                      

The volunteer said she did not wish to do this, she was then told "If I tell you too you will".                                     There were several witnesses to this conversation, one of who was the depot manager.                                                  

This surely should be seen as verbal assault?

This was told to me by both the volunteer and the depot manager.                                                                                                         If this is so easy to say and direct someone to do the question how many times before or since comes to mind. 

There is one incident concerning a lady who had bruising on her arm. 

This bruising was caused by a male volunteer. 

This is common assault. 

I saw her at Anderson St some one hour later still so distressed she could not hold cup of coffee. 

She was waiting until she felt well enough to drive home.      

She had spoken with the youth worker and the diocesan president who told Rodney (the man involved) to go home. 

I suggested to her that an incident report should be handed to Maree Fell the next day. 

Rodney had at times verbally attacked other volunteers and Rhonda as depot manager. 

Maree and another volunteer decided the best way to handle this was to ensure they did not work together.

He is not there but just left on his own accord.

He has done this several times and then returned the lady continues to be afraid he will return and be welcome back. 

I don't know what transpired between Francine Kubanek and Maree Fell concerning the last youth camp, CEO Peter Maher does I believe. 

What I do know is Francine was invited to join St. Ann's conference it was hoped with time the other youth workers may also become interested. 

She wished to continue working with the youth and as a volunteer with Jim's Anti-Rape classes. 

Do you have any idea how many hours and days Jim spent organizing this programme with the schools? 

That has now been completely destroyed by the administrator.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As 97 girls from one school have said they wish to do the course it was necessary Francine continue with this programme. However since that weekend Francine has apologised to the conference and said she will no longer be able to attend. 

The other youth workers who up till that weekend had trained at the gym and mixed with the youth there at least twice a week have not been seen. 

Because of Maree Fell's unrelenting bullying Cairns has lost 6 young professional people that were helping Jim's Anti-Rape Programme.

Francine's move to her own office did not decrease the level of bullying and intimidation she was subjected to from Maree Fell. 

She did attempt to address these issues through proper avenues. 

She gave a letter of complaint to the diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe he read it and then returned it to her.

So Francine Kubanek went to Brisbane in the hope that meeting CEO Peter Maher and having the opportunity to be honest when speaking with the CEO. 

CEO Maher was not concerned and did not help her.

Jim telling the CEO Peter Maher if he did not do something to stop this consistent bullying by Maree Fell supported by McAuliffe, Jim would do something is common knowledge in Cairns. 

Francine's parting words were "I hope never to hear the name St. Vincent de Paul again".

As is always the outcome in such cases, the most disadvantaged continue to be the only ones truly disadvantaged, in this case the youth.

It will not reflect well on the Society if Jim's Anti-Rape courses are just disregarded without explanation. 

And if an explanation is to be offered then by whom?

Regarding the old wares I know you were, told this was a unanimous decision, what you don't know is the volunteers at this meeting had previously been told that I no longer wish to do it. 

Not true.

It was a store co coordinators meeting and not a diocesan council meeting.                                                                 At that meeting it was also decided that old ware would go to the shops. 

This I know for a fact has not happened, so where are they?                                                                             

They were not only being donated because I was collecting them. 

I also know that the Society lost a considerable amount of money by selling items for much less than they should have realised.                                                                                                                                     

I had been doing this with the full support of the volunteers they themselves would put items aside for me to see), I feel disgusted that this discussion took place at a meeting that I was not invited to. If it was truly the wish of volunteers I firmly believe they would have told me in a way other then a curt email this email was opened by Jim. 

When he saw how distressed I became he contacted you, John Campbell and Peter Maher. 

When he next saw the diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe he asked why the diocesan president (McAuliffe) didn't have the manners to inform me himself as he had been at that meeting. 

Jim asked him if the position of State Vice President had any validity. 

Or is it only a female State Vice President that has no validity?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why this has suddenly become personal with Maree Fell towards me but it has, and has been commented on by other staff and volunteers.

This makes little or no sense since I was the one who arranged for Maree Fell to return working for society. 

In the last month or so many Vincentians have said the could have told me at the time of her return would end up causing trouble, typically no one said anything at the time.

Maree Fell herself has told me it was not her decision or wish to transfer to then community services that is now a separate entity Ozcare.

I have never seen any paper work to give an indication of why, but there must have been a good reason for the diocesan president to go to that extreme. 

As you will be aware talk goes back and forth between those who work for Ozcare and the Society about possible outcomes. 

It has been said directly to me by two people that they look forward to working for the society if that comes about, but they will not be prepared to work under the supervision of Maree Fell again. 

Their words, "they had enough last time."

I was surprised last week to be told that those same concerns had been voiced to at least one other person.

With the level of bullying and intimidation that constantly goes on in Cairns area, I am left wondering if the Society's social justice policy does extend to its own volunteers. 

Some of the volunteers and staff would be willing to speak with you, others however are too afraid or fear of "being carpeted." 

The next obvious question is why or how I know of these issues?                                                                                           The simple answer is I visit the stores and volunteers and am prepared to listen. People often only need to express their concerns (some real, some just displeasure), they feel better if they have talked about it and then it is forgotten.                                                                                                                                      

Maree Fell has made it clear she would rather I didn't visit the shops or depot, but as a volunteer, Vincentian and State Vice President in a voluntary organisation I fail to see why I should stop. 

The position I represent here in Far North Queensland is undermined, dismissed or totally ignored. As I am your representative, were I you,             

I would wonder if the same disregard applied equally to the position of Queensland State President.

Yours truly,

NOW LOOK AT THIS PATHOLOGICAL LIAR SAYING THIS AFTER HE AND MAHER AND FELL CLOSED VINNIES GYM WITH THE HELP OF QUEENSLAND POLICE PADDY WAGONS.  

Far north Queensland diocesan president McAuliffe said the society also was concerned the centre was not being utilised by those it was intended for, with fewer than 20  disadvantaged and homeless youths visiting the centre each week. There's not enough of the people who we originally intended it for going there," McAuliffe said.

"The gym has been costing the society excess of $150,000 a tear and it was felt that these funds could be directed more appropriately to fund other diocesan work in assisting the poor and needy,". He said.

"If someone is really in need and they really need a gym, the society is not about forgetting those sort of people. Any real need out there will be catered for."

This is just one citizen of Cairns that had his personal property pinched by Society's McAuliffe and liar ceo Maher.

Minister's foreword

This calendar is a truly inspirational collection of stories from Queenslanders who are sharing not only their experience of living with a disability, but their triumphs and achievements as well. Each story is a compelling picture of human resilience and courage. By sharing these stories with others, we are encouraging people to open their eyes, hearts and minds to see beyond the disability.

I am especially grateful that so many Queenslanders have once again contributed to this project. It was difficult indeed to select 12 stories from the many submissions we received. I am pleased to present the 2008 Share Your Story calendar and I am confident you will find these stories as moving and engaging as I have.

Yours sincerely,

Hon. Lindy Nelson-Carr MP
Minister for Disability Services

Mr Understand Warren Pitt... I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group"       

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what transpired between Francine Kubanek and Maree Fell concerning the last youth camp, CEO Peter Maher does I believe. 

What I do know is Francine was invited to join St. Ann's conference it was hoped with time the other youth workers may also become interested. 

She wished to continue working with the youth and as a volunteer with Jim's Anti-Rape classes. 

Do you have any idea how many hours and days Jim spent organizing this programme with the schools? 

That has now been completely destroyed by the administrator Maree Fell.  

As 97 girls from one school have said they wish to do the course it was necessary Francine continue with this programme. 

However since that weekend Francine has apologised to the conference and said she will no longer be able to attend. 

The other youth workers who up till that weekend had trained at the gym and mixed with the youth there at least twice a week have not been seen. 

Because of Maree Fell's unrelenting bullying Cairns has lost 6 young professional people that were helping Jim's Anti-Rape Programme.

Mr John Briton Legal Services Commissioner states -

I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was before the Qld Society had a ceo they had a plain titled General Secretary then. 

And McAuliffe was working in his wife's JEWELLERY shop in the hills.

Do you all think it was only a coincidence that he via Maree Fell stopped my wife Judith Tierney from collecting JEWELLERY in her Old Wares and Collectables? 

Judith paid $20 dollars in one of the Society's shops for a string of pearls she auctioned them and received thousands of dollars for her $20 dollar purchase. Foolishly she gave Maree Fell all the money to go in the Kitty for the poor.

St Vinnies gym for at-risk youth a winner

Roz Pulley

A GYMNASIUM for disadvantaged youth in Cairns has proved so successful it may be replicated internationally. 

The St Vincent de Paul Fitness Centre in Maranoa St - which is open to all, but primarily targets society's homeless and disaffected --- is attracting worldwide attention.

"It's the only one of its kind in the world run by St Vincent De Paul," said northern vice-president 

Judy Tierney who, together with husband Jim, was instrumental in its establishment after donating all the equipment three years ago. 

 "This is the first such venture and is very different to anything to anything St Vincent De Paul has ever done." Ms Tierney said the national president of St Vincent De Paul in Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the gym, after hearing of its success.        

"He wants to take it worldwide."  

A second Australian gym had also been tipped for Logan near Brisbane, and Ravenshoe. 

Ms Tierney said the fitness centre was changing people's lives.

"The thing that has really, really improved their self-confidence and self-esteem is the boxing.

A lot of people don't like boxing, but it's a very disciplined sport.

"We've had quite a few kids that have gone through various programs, disappeared, then come back and said they've gone back to school, which is really good. 

It is giving them focus,"

The fitness centre employs two qualified instructors and offers classes in weightlifting, bodybuilding, kickboxing, boxing, yoga, martial arts and self defence.

Anti-rape classes are also available.

Ms Tierney said between 600-8000 people visited each month.  

"The idea initially was that it was purely for street kids.

But we now have groups from Endeavour, detox, mental health and special education classes.

Lots of schools also bring in groups." 

Mr Tierney said the inspiration came from his own deprived childhood in Liverpool England. 

"When I was 14, I went to a gym for the disadvantaged. 

It was a really rough, hardcore place to go, full of people like myself.

 

 

To my knowledge that gym saved hundreds and hundreds of kids from getting involved with drugs."  Mrs Tierney said the gym had received tremendous support from the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group which recently donated nearly $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom.    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minister PITT publicly agreed with Society diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe's reason as why McAuliffe closed Vinnies Gym - they stated because it was not getting used for what it was originally set up for.

This could only be an assumption by this Minister as no personal involved in the running of Vinnies Gym had ever seen this Minister in or OUT of Vinnies Gym. 

Falsus ciminosus and despiciens from a community minister and it worked as it was intended too because no one is game to touch these Catholic laypeople.

This below is Res ipsa Loquitur.

And considering I donated all the equipment that made up the facility of Vinnies Gym that contained a professional Fitness Centre and Professional Boxing Gym.

I alone assembled the numerous pin-weighted machines. 

I alone for efficiency of space moved the literally tons in free weight on numerous occasions.

I alone spent seven days a week doing 12 /+ hours each day always on my own.

To assemble correctly and for obvious safely reasons my project - Vinnies Gym - took me many months to finish with no payment from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society. 

I do not drive so my wife had to take me in daily, then come back and pick me up seven days a week.

Then we had to listen to the hypocrita and conscindo from all the public servants, Qld politicians and their numerous advisors vilifying the entire Vinnies Gym personal that helped the disadvantaged people in Vinnies gym as they continually kept repeating the same lies as to why Jerry McAuliffe closed the gym.

The true reason is called persequor persequi persecutus - because I apposed their plorabilis nefas invisus lacesso behaviour.

Peter Maher Society ceo, McAuliffe and Maree Fell are best described as Invictus attitude full of invidia to ultio ultionis and despecto constantly accuso with malus peior pessimus and iaceo saepenumero their behaviour is best described as scelus sceleris.

First I sent Maher an email telling him if he did not stop his PAID Staff bullying and harassing Francine Kubanek Society youth coordinator - Rhonda Wallace depot manager - the Vinnies Gym instructors - and my wife who was an Society appointed Qld State Vice President I would. 

He ignored me so I contacted Prime Minister John Howard, Qld premier Beatie, Qld Attorney General Kerry Shine, Qld police Minister Judy Spence, Warren Pitt who ignored me and put it into the hands of the CPU Mr Smart and his decision was made on a secret response with the condition I would not see it! 

I blew the whistle on Society ceo Peter Maher, Society McAuliffe, and Society Cairns administrator Maree fell

 

 

Four witnessed Statutory Declarations where sent to Prime Minister John Howard three from Vinnies Gym past and present instructors, and one from me After McAuliffe closed Vinnies Gym. 

I knew he would after me confronting both Maree fell and McAuliffe after returning from Brisbane to get the bullying stopped via the Qld State President and General Secretary Tom Barry. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked into the Gym and Maree Fell and McAuliffe were barking at the Gym instructors I told them both where my wife Judith and me had been and told them both to stop their bullying and leave as I had been appointed Chairman of the Society's Gym SPECIAL WORKS because of these two individuals bullying.

So Maher McAuliffe Maree Fell just closed the gym telling the community it was not getting used for what it was set up for and I already explained these entire group were not in any official position when I donated assembled and run for FOUR UNPAID YEARS THIS WAS JUST TO SILENCE ME. 

And even as I write these Ministers public servants are still covering up for these evil individuals.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCIETY RULE                                      EMPLOYEES AND OFFICE TITLES

The Society being a voluntary organisation must always be controlled and seen to be controlled by voluntary people. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warren Pitt - CPU's Mr Smart - Complaints department - Society ceo Peter Maher - McAuliffe - Society Maree Fell expert bully all lied when they agreed PUBLICLY with McAuliffe's reason for closing Vinnies Gym.

Their public acceptance of the Society's secret conditional reason for closing Vinnies Gym that stipulated no one could read it and if they wanted to see a copy they would have to contact the FOI department. 

Persons that were vilified by this secret response from the Society had to apply to FOI department.

Yet all these public servants categorical stated that what ever this secret response contained was truthful and what this secret response stated was correct.

You all accepted the secret response as if it was Res ipsa Loquitur response. 

                                                                                                                                             Despicably behaviour because of the amount of evidence that my wife sent registered to the Qld WPH&Saftey director, Qld WPH&Saftey Cairns Regional Manager Steve Lamb this individual called the police so he did not have to answer the questions put to him by Rhonda Wallace this lady contemplated Suicide and Judith Tierney had a nervous breakdown she is my carer.   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We the victims of this deceitful Society and citizens of Cairns would have thought if such a unique project patterned by me was getting used in Cairns then going all around the WORLD a community's State minister would have been interested. 

They also would then have known since the whole project still belongs to me that only Tim O'Connor the Society State President at the time of my donation my wife and ME would know what it was set up for. 

Then Society conspirator ceo Maher's friend HOGAN with SIX WHOLE YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A GYM REVIEWER would also have listened when I asked him to educate himself regarding the conditions that went with my donation.

 

This also may have made the Society conspirator ceo Maher instructing THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors with lies regarding me and vindictive hateful lies about my character. 

But as my mother used to say many many years ago leave them to GOD son. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we have other articles and items we have not used yet to PROVE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are as described.

Pitt defends character reference for trafficker

James O'Loan

[email-masked]

MEMBER for Mulgrave Warren Pitt has defended his decision to provide a character reference for a convicted drug trafficker who was jailed recently.

Mr Pitt says the written reference he provided to Cairns Supreme Court for amphetamines trafficker Jason Wayne Maitland of Edmonton was not a show of support for his actions.

"I provided a reference for Jason so that the court was aware of some of his better qualities," Mr Pitt said.

Maitland, 43, sold $10,300 worth of ecstasy, methamphetamine and LSD to an undercover policeman at his Portsmith work shed from July to December 2004.

Last Friday Justice Stanley Jones sentenced him to three years' jail with eligibility for parole after six months.

Mr Pitt said he had known Maitland and his family "for many years" and acknowledged the trafficker committed serious crimes for which he was now paying.

"I want to be clear - providing a reference should not be construed as condoning the offence." He said he had provided hundreds of references for his constituents since becoming the local member 17 years ago.

A group decision was made to support the gym situated off Martyn Street.

As a result of our fundraising on the first occasion we paid for the flooring in the boxing ring.

It was a wonderful satisfying experience to be involved in and on visiting the gym we got to meet the staff and a few of the kids training there. I felt a real sense of achievement.

Following the first donation the following year I spoke with Jim and Judy and they let me know that they were building a new kitchen and laundry off the side of the gym. It was decided that we would focus on raising enough money to equip this extension as much as possible. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end we were able to donate a number of white goods and crockery, cutlery, glassware, appliances, i.e. toasters, kettles and a sack full of various foods, including coffee etc.

From what I have read in the media, I am of the understanding that the gym has closed down and is not going to reopen.

I am just wondering what St Vinnies has done with all the equipment as I have heard that a group is willing to reopen the GYM again and I would think that St Vinnies would want to support another group who is willing; to financially support the homeless and disadvantaged youth in Cairns.

on the first day we toured the gym after donating the boxing ring mat, an employee of  St Vinnies had told us that the, majority of the equipment had been donated by Jim Tierney.

We thought this was wonderful that an individual would show that much faith in a single community minded project.

Majority of big business in this country wouldn't even make that sort of donation.

So in conclusion I am a little confused that the, majority of the equipment was donated by Jim Tierney and the ALH group, but you are not willing to donate the equipment on to a group willing to take over where you left off.

Wouldn't it be of benefit to your organisation to assist another group to help the disadvantaged youth when you say are no longer able to?

McAuliffe has disappeared since his email to Peter Maher - 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. 

They are talking about the minutes being altered already and these are not highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials that do not walk all over there victims while every Qld government department lets them do it. 

 

They are talking about altering the minutes of a meeting of board director's [the State Council] the meeting was held because retired barrister Jack Williams a Society member threatened all the directors of the board if they did not start legal proceedings by sending a letter of demand to Ozcare and retrieve over $130 million dollars they gave away illegally he would go public and he did via The Australian newspaper. 

The Qld branch of St Vincent de Paul ceo Peter Maher sent a letter of demand to Ozcare without the sanction of all the board of directors. 

This does not make sense until you are educated that the Society of St Vincent de Paul is a Voluntary Organisation. The Society being a voluntary organisation must always be controlled by volunteers and to be seen to be controlled by volunteers. 

Here is Mr Life's Tough" ceo Peter Maher instructing Society solicitors THYNNE & MACARTNEY to send a letter of demand to Ozcare without the sanction of all the board of directors. The letter below proves this individual acts as a law to himself. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what would happen to Mr ceo law onto himself  Peter Maher if he was in England and Australia supposedly  follow the same Westminster rule of law strange.

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 will no doubt 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."

Hi Jim

Bastards turning up and closing the gym down like that it is wrong and immoral.

If there is anything I can help with don't hesitate to contact me.

Judy should contact the Media, TV, Radio, Newspapers and give a press conference and tell them about what St Vincent DePaul has done left the youth and disadvantaged in our community with nothing. 

As well as you Lee Byron and the youth.

Taking a gym which was set up for the disadvantaged in our community and they knew when it was setup it would not make a profit.

St Vincent De Paul could not spend the money meant to support the gym to help the disadvantaged in our community but instead they can spend millions of dollars to build that resort in port Douglas.

And contact the Bishop

Mrs Tierney said the gym had received tremendous support from the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group which recently donated nearly $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom -

This is the kitchen that never arrived at Vinnies gym even though it cost the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group $6000 for it. 

Dean Lock asked Judith Tierney where the fully equipped new kitchen, laundry and bathroom was that cost $6000, because Peter Maher had told him to stop his whingeing as he had done well out of the society as he [Peter Maher] paid for all these items.  

Judith Tierney told Dean Lock the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group did pay out $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom but like on the Gold Coast in never arrived at Vinnies Gym. And Peter Maher may have $6000 of items that was supposed to go to Vinnies Gym but he certainly DID NOT PAY FOR IT. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dean Lock was shocked and appalled at this as ceo Peter Maher had also destroyed his in ground safe with an angle grinder because he did not know the safe combination.

He asked the NOW X Vinnies instructors for the combination you can imagine what they said to 

Mr Life's Tough Maher so he used an angle grinder to open an extremely expensive safe destroying it in the process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Anti-Rape course was deliberately sabotage by McAuliffe and Fell from QLD St Vincent de Paul.                                               

International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha asked Jude to make a CD of all the activities I had operational in Vinnies Gym. He copied the CD Jude sent him and put it on the International Society web page.  

José, Jude and me continually kept contact with each other, as he had requested me to help him set up my projects in more countries than Australia. I was so thrilled that he was as troubled with drug barons controlling our children as Jude and me were. 

I said we would help set my projects in any country for him. 

This was in progress as ceo Maher, McAuliffe and Maree Fell deliberately destroyed not only Vinnies Gym in Cairns, but all the other gyms in Australia and around the world for poor kids.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ravenshoe was the second as the QLD State Council released $100,000 after advice from me via Jude. 

What this Australian Society conveniently kept secret the Society person responsible for the pommie Bastard statement had a personal agenda with his other Society friend. 

They wanted to use the building that a $100,000 had been released [from donated money for the poor] to sell computers from a Computer shop belonging to one of this individuals.

This individual had the only computer shop in Ravenshoe and wanted the captive sales market by using the building supposedly built for another gym.

After reviewing the plans of the building in Ravenshoe I paid for a boxing ring to be built, 

I also paid for a Multi-Weight Training Unit for the kids to use in their Ravenshoe Gym.                                                              

Les Smith will confirm any of this because it was him that asked Jude to ask me, if I would do it after he discovered the kids in Ravenshoe had set up their own boxing gym in a dangerous railway building that was ready for demolition. 

And being a caring person was concerned these boys could be killed using this dangerous building as a boxing Gym. For more confirmation one of the boys I was training at Vinnies Gym was the Ravenshoe Mayor's son and he had become the spokesman for the Ravenshoe boys. 

Ravenshoe's Mayor and his son and his friend's will not say one good word regarding the Society after this behaviour.

 James's money again and I when Judith Tierney and Marc King asked Ravenshoe Society officials why the building did not resemble the building that the plans had been submitted to council for passing and now so were not passed by the council.

 "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".  

What a reward?

I have been in this country 35 years I conditionally donated almost a million dollars worth of equipment to the disadvantaged in Cairns I have two Australian granddaughters and I still cop this  "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".

Spelling out the message: Mulgrave MP Warren Pitt ties a White Ribbon as part of his fight.

DOBBING in mates who were violent was not un-Australian, Communities Minister Warren Pitt told a Cairns gathering yesterday in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day." If you do know something don't remain silent," the Mulgrave MP urged those who turned out at the Centre of Contemporary Arts to jointly call for an end to violence against women. "It is not un- Australian to report something like that. This business of not dobbing in your mates can go too too far." 

Mr Pitt also said that far from being weak for men to stand up and say they had an anger problem, it showed great strength to recognise such a thing and do something. Queensland police officers, who often see lives lost and destroyed because of domestic violence, supported the day by wearing white ribbons yesterday and again today. 

The day was first introduced in Canada in 1991 after the shooting of 14 female students at the University of Montreal.

Judith is the carer for our son that has just had a brain tumour removed and me

She has had a nervous breakdown what are we supposed to do now? 

This is how these Society officials deceive the public this is the answer that                

Mr T. A. Hartley Chief Executive Officer of choice was given by Society Cairns administrator the infamous bully Maree Fell......."the equipment is being used for a gym in Ravenshoe."

 Hello Judy,

Thank you for your letter of the 6th inst.

All of the gym equipment has been given to an Aboriginal community where it is being used by the young people to increase their health and fitness.

As this was the original purpose the equipment was obtained for in the first place we felt that it was appropriate that it was put to this use.

The Society now considers this matter is closed.

 I feel it is now time for us all to move on and to continue to help those in most need.

Yours in Christ,

John Campbell 

 

State President

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two individuals ask the same question to two different officials of these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials and they receive two different answers.

Well have I got news for yours In Christ John Campbell I did not donate anything to any aboriginal group PERIOD. 

This is the new lackey of Society ceo Maher.

He publicly pretended he cared about people with mental disorders this is were my wife came in handy for him. All he has ever done is sell insurance and drink, but he is cunning he used my wife's experience she is by profession a psychiatric hospital director. 

Like Qld Society Peter Maher that went from being a General Secretary that is the term supposed to be used by the Society's Constitution. That was not important enough for him so he changed the title to ceo. And like Maher, Campbell became the fastest self- made psychologist and psychiatrist in history. When he was getting fed in my home every time he was in Cairns because of my wife's up-bringing I always asked questions as to why he was so Holy! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And like all deceitful pretenders he would try to be a bit macho with me and gave truthful answers to me to impress me - Campbell said "If I didn't do this I would be on the piss all the time and I get a free car free petrol and trips around the place free of course." 

His wife threw this deceitful pretender out because of his drinking he informed me.

And the poor in Queensland have the likes of him and ceo Maher custodians of millions of dollars donated to the poor. 

It repulses me the way these deceitful pretenders rob from the poor and they do it without any form of accountability to not a living soul! 

We would love to know how they get away with it without any accountability. 

When it suited this unethical individual he could not care one iota of the damage he and his Christian mates did to my wife. 

So I sent the deceitful new Qld lackey this email below with no response. McAuliffe has not been seen by anyone in Cairns.

Subject:        You want to help mentally ill then show it  

Mr John Campbell, because of the behaviour of individuals belonging to that charity my wife had a nervous breakdown and is under Psychiatric care. 

In the name of your GOD can you please advice her what to say when every time she is well enough to leave the house she is permanently pulled up by numerous people asking her where their property is as they see her as having it?                

They should be pulling that McAuliffe but he is hiding away from them in the hills. 

McAuliffe took away their property not Jude. 

John as the new man in charge that claimed to be her friend can you at least leave her with some dignity as she is getting accused of stealing these Cairns people property. 

It is alright for McAuliffe hiding away in the mountains so no one can get to him, but my wife will not go out now because she is humiliated being called a Catholic thief every time she leaves the house.  Now I promise you - this is not a threat but a promise just to you - I will get involved in the only way I know works if you do not do the right thing by my wife, it may be to late already for her sanity but if you do not do what you know is the right thing for JUDE'S health then do not say I did not give you the opportunity to show some dignity.    

Advise my wife as to what she tells these individuals accusing her of stealing.          

JIM TIERNEY 

This is already on the internet. 

I have also given documents to the Queensland police this morning as we have had enough of these creatures and all that continually covers up for them because it is a Catholic entity.

 John Mickel

Why is it so so difficult for you as a man as well as a highly paid public servant whose wages and outragous pension we pay for from our tax. Need numerous lackeys, that are just letter writers for you. 

We all know and understand from professor Brian Martin that you most proberly never even read our correspondence to you PERSONALLY as you may feel you are to important to bother with victims such as us. 

And as I did not send it, or address it to any Robert Hough, I do not want a response from any Robert Hough, or indeed any other of your letter writers please.

Considering all these different policy advisors all you ministers desperately need are probable the same person as professor Brian Martin has made us understand the games you ministers play with your constituents once you are in office. You would not be in office if you showed your true colours before as well you all know. 

It is clear to us ALL again ALL remember not just me.

I addressed it to you the minister - if you are too important to not have the manners to respond to us personally then do not bother. 

You as a minister have a duty of care towards us victims you are supposed to help VICTIMS. You are not in office to cover up for these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive CATHOLIC Society officials BULLIES and thieves. 

Minister if women bullied and bashed has nothing to do with you or your office is it possible to YOU to advise us just who is responsible for the welfare of Australian women. 

And no more responses from your letter writers if it does not come from you do not bother then we will know we definitely are right about your games as we victims find it offensive to be answered by some office public servant. 

We sent today to the Far North Qld assistant police commissioner numerous documents regarding these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive CATHOLIC Society officials. 

And as I have said also to every Qld minister we put every resopnse we get from all your letter writers with your name on it on the internet.

But to more serious matters you have proven to us all you are going to cover up like all your other champagne socialists labor ministers for these Catholic lay thieves and bullies.

One day hopefully it may happen to some one belonging to one of you dishonourable ministers. How you have the gull to call yourselves The Honourable ? 

We have delt with the likes of Pitt that gives character references to convicted DRUG DEALERS

and he most certainly would not know what the word Honour meant!

Nor does any man or women that does not bend over backwards to help people bullied to the extent that we have received from these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive CATHOLIC Society officials.

LADIES that have contemplated SUICIDE because of being bullied by Maree Fell and McAuliffe and ceo Peter Maher bullied to the point of having nervous breakdowns and you do not want to be bothered shame on you shame on you.

How can you have the nerve to say issues raised relate internal interactions between yourself and officials [they are most certainly not OFFICERS] of the Society and the Catholic Church in Australia. 

We do not want you to intervene in these matters with CATHOLIC OFFICERS THAT ARE NOT OFFICERS IF YOU DO NOT MIND!! 

Intervene with the BULLING, the BULLING from ceo Peter Maher Maree Fell and pathological liar MvAuliffe. 

We are ALL REMEMBER ALL NOT JUST ME ALL sure there must be someone in some Queensland government department that deals with bulling we have seen it on the TV.

How do you men sleep at night knowing AUSTRALIAN WOMEN HAVE BEEN BULLIED SO SEVERELY AND YOU SO-CALLED MEN MAKE EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE YOU CANNOT DO SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS MORE LIKELY THE TRUTH.

Good God who are you people!!!!!!!

We  keep count now how many different letter answerers / policy advisors we have received nonsense from. I suppose this will be to tedious for such a important man as yourself but you can always read it all on the internet.

1 of 20 Pages I recommend they are all looked at and not just binned.

 If any thing happens to ANY OF the victims of this deceptive Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul Catholic charity of lay individuals. Qld Ministers and policy advisors and all the public servants that have covered up for these despicable creatures will have no excuse as to why none of you helped any of us when we have appealed to you all on numerous occasions. I have a disorder.

I am not intellectually retarded and it scares me if I get treated like this not being intimidated by any of you uncaring politicians, how it would be for me if I was intellectually retarded. You disgust all of us.

OUR SAY

Thursday, February 23. 2006

MENTAL illness is a frightening disease and it's easy to throw stones at the medical professionals when suicide occurs.

Reasonable people accept some mentally ill patients are going to kill themselves and that will always be tragic. 

There are, however, just too many stories in the Far North of patients, asking for help from medical facilities and being sent away. 

The sad details of the suicide death of a Mareeba school teacher have been aired and the word sympathy doesn't cut it when one thinks about the family she has left behind and the pain she endured during her life. 

But what about the other Far Northern suicides - the ones that earlier this week sparked a coroner's probe.

The 66 -year-old man who was admitted to a Cook town Hospital in May last year and released without seeing a mental health expert; the 36 year-old man with a history of schizophrenia who was not even admitted to the Cairns Base Hospital even though he pleaded for help; the Kuranda teen who was treated, or not treated, in the same way. 

You can be damn sure a diabetic who turned up at an emergency department showing all the signs of an impending coma would not be sent home. 

Mental illness is still considered the poor relation of treatable illnesses and all the talk is getting us nowhere. 

Today, the average person knows so much about depression and its offshoots that suffering a panic attack at work is almost trendy.

Depressives are encouraged to talk about their feelings, take stress leave and ask for help so it comes as a rude shock to hear when get past the tell-your friends stage, 

an ill person presenting at a medical facility asking for help could well be told to go home, and do what?  

Snap out of it?

Suicide succeeds at seventh attempt Sister: "How many times does it take. before they get help"
Peter Michael

Chief reporter 

SHE cut her own throat not once - but three times.

     Both wrists slashed and head nearly severed, primary school teacher Patricia Van Putten, 49, stumbled across the road and collapsed on the doorstep of her sister's workplace.

"It was her seventh attempt," her sister Monique said yesterday.

"We begged everyone, doctors, psychiatrists, the Government, to keep her in hospital and give her intensive treatment. But they said there was nothing they could do." 

Last Saturday, six days after she was released from Cairns Base Hospital,

Ms Van Putten took a lethal overdose of pills and pesticide and of massive heart attack.

Health officials, mental health experts and the state coroner are investigating the circumstances behind the death.

Her grieving sister Monique yester day asked: "How many times does it take for someone to try to kill themselves before they get help?

"We begged them. 

They said she is a mature woman and if she wants to be discharged there is nothing they can do to stop it. even though they admitted she would try again."

During a six-month slide into darkness, the severely depressed Mareeba woman tried to take her own life many times. "She had been fairly unstable for most of her life," said her sister.

"I think what triggered it all was an earlier miscarriage, and then she stopped teaching about a year ago.

Things really started to fall apart. "But I do believe if they kept her in and gave her some intensive help she would still be alive today."

Queensland Health yesterday declined to comment on the case before the coronial investigation. But family friends of the Mareeba primary school teacher are calling for an independent probe into the state of mental health. 

"I just want to help some other poor bugger," Monique said. "We have been through six months of hell with all this.

It is time it all came to head and we had a proper investigation to look at the ststem which is failing so many families."

One Nation MP Rosa Long has vowed to champion the case in the Queensland Parliament next Tuesday.

                                                             State President

Dear Mike,    

You have often said that as members of the State Council we have a responsibility to the Council, Society and members or those working for the Society. 

I was reminded of this a few days ago by one of the people mentioned in this letter.  

Some of these people are having discussions with the Workplace Health & Safety/ Anti-discrimination department. 

I know that you are aware of some of these issues in part, but for your information I will elaborate a little.  

All of these people believe their concerns were addressed via the correct channels without the necessity or going outside the Society. 

Rhonda Wallace her comment to me was what has prompted me contact you. 

She said at the time she so seriously considered suicide that she purchased the hose pipe and tape with the intentions of carrying it out, she had not told anyone of her level of distress. 

She was at the time continually advised by many friends to resign. 

This she did, but on handing in her resignation to the diocesan president Marc King asked if it was what she really wanted? 

Prior to Rhonda Wallace even considering resigning Marc King had told my husband Jim he did not want the likes of her [RHONDA] working for the Society

Yet Marc King told Rhonda that she would be badly missed and that perhaps she should think about it, Marc King then prayed over her. 

She did reconsider but then to add to her distress and humiliation was told it was too late. 

It is only during the last week that I have ever heard Rhonda mention suicide. She told me she was only now starting to think about the state mentally, she must have been in to even consider such a thing. 

Rhonda had spent much of her own time after work and weekends cleaning up around Society bins, and collected volunteers on her way to work she arrived at work one day to be informed she was no longer permitted to take the Society ute home and room was to be made available for it to be parked in the depot. No reason was offered. This was the first incident.

It was after this time complaints began arriving about mess around the bins.                                                                    

Rhonda has kept a daily diary of all issues, correspondence between herself and administration. 

Union representatives, solicitors who had sent a warning letter concerning the derogatory remarks that were being made about her and any paper work produced during this time.

During one period of time that a shop was being rearranged the administrator told a volunteer to go to a local hardware store for items and sign her (the administrators) signature to the society account.                                                                      

The volunteer said she did not wish to do this, she was then told "If I tell you too you will".                                     There were several witnesses to this conversation, one of who was the depot manager.                                                  

This surely should be seen as verbal assault?

This was told to me by both the volunteer and the depot manager.                                                                                                         If this is so easy to say and direct someone to do the question how many times before or since comes to mind. 

There is one incident concerning a lady who had bruising on her arm. 

This bruising was caused by a male volunteer. 

This is common assault. 

I saw her at Anderson St some one hour later still so distressed she could not hold cup of coffee. 

She was waiting until she felt well enough to drive home.      

She had spoken with the youth worker and the diocesan president who told Rodney (the man involved) to go home. 

I suggested to her that an incident report should be handed to Maree Fell the next day. 

Rodney had at times verbally attacked other volunteers and Rhonda as depot manager. 

Maree and another volunteer decided the best way to handle this was to ensure they did not work together.

He is not there but just left on his own accord.

He has done this several times and then returned the lady continues to be afraid he will return and be welcome back. 

I don't know what transpired between Francine Kubanek and Maree Fell concerning the last youth camp, CEO Peter Maher does I believe. 

What I do know is Francine was invited to join St. Ann's conference it was hoped with time the other youth workers may also become interested. 

She wished to continue working with the youth and as a volunteer with Jim's Anti-Rape classes. 

Do you have any idea how many hours and days Jim spent organizing this programme with the schools? 

That has now been completely destroyed by the administrator.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As 97 girls from one school have said they wish to do the course it was necessary Francine continue with this programme. However since that weekend Francine has apologised to the conference and said she will no longer be able to attend. 

The other youth workers who up till that weekend had trained at the gym and mixed with the youth there at least twice a week have not been seen. 

Because of Maree Fell's unrelenting bullying Cairns has lost 6 young professional people that were helping Jim's Anti-Rape Programme.

Francine's move to her own office did not decrease the level of bullying and intimidation she was subjected to from Maree Fell. 

She did attempt to address these issues through proper avenues. 

She gave a letter of complaint to the diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe he read it and then returned it to her.

So Francine Kubanek went to Brisbane in the hope that meeting CEO Peter Maher and having the opportunity to be honest when speaking with the CEO. 

CEO Maher was not concerned and did not help her.

Jim telling the CEO Peter Maher if he did not do something to stop this consistent bullying by Maree Fell supported by McAuliffe, Jim would do something is common knowledge in Cairns. 

Francine's parting words were "I hope never to hear the name St. Vincent de Paul again".

As is always the outcome in such cases, the most disadvantaged continue to be the only ones truly disadvantaged, in this case the youth.

It will not reflect well on the Society if Jim's Anti-Rape courses are just disregarded without explanation. 

And if an explanation is to be offered then by whom?

Regarding the old wares I know you were, told this was a unanimous decision, what you don't know is the volunteers at this meeting had previously been told that I no longer wish to do it. 

Not true.

It was a store co coordinators meeting and not a diocesan council meeting.                                                                 At that meeting it was also decided that old ware would go to the shops. 

This I know for a fact has not happened, so where are they?                                                                             

They were not only being donated because I was collecting them. 

I also know that the Society lost a considerable amount of money by selling items for much less than they should have realised.                                                                                                                                     

I had been doing this with the full support of the volunteers they themselves would put items aside for me to see), I feel disgusted that this discussion took place at a meeting that I was not invited to. If it was truly the wish of volunteers I firmly believe they would have told me in a way other then a curt email this email was opened by Jim. 

When he saw how distressed I became he contacted you, John Campbell and Peter Maher. 

When he next saw the diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe he asked why the diocesan president (McAuliffe) didn't have the manners to inform me himself as he had been at that meeting. 

Jim asked him if the position of State Vice President had any validity. 

Or is it only a female State Vice President that has no validity?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why this has suddenly become personal with Maree Fell towards me but it has, and has been commented on by other staff and volunteers.

This makes little or no sense since I was the one who arranged for Maree Fell to return working for society. 

In the last month or so many Vincentians have said the could have told me at the time of her return would end up causing trouble, typically no one said anything at the time.

Maree Fell herself has told me it was not her decision or wish to transfer to then community services that is now a separate entity Ozcare.

I have never seen any paper work to give an indication of why, but there must have been a good reason for the diocesan president to go to that extreme. 

As you will be aware talk goes back and forth between those who work for Ozcare and the Society about possible outcomes. 

It has been said directly to me by two people that they look forward to working for the society if that comes about, but they will not be prepared to work under the supervision of Maree Fell again. 

Their words, "they had enough last time."

I was surprised last week to be told that those same concerns had been voiced to at least one other person.

With the level of bullying and intimidation that constantly goes on in Cairns area, I am left wondering if the Society's social justice policy does extend to its own volunteers. 

Some of the volunteers and staff would be willing to speak with you, others however are too afraid or fear of "being carpeted." 

The next obvious question is why or how I know of these issues?                                                                                           The simple answer is I visit the stores and volunteers and am prepared to listen. People often only need to express their concerns (some real, some just displeasure), they feel better if they have talked about it and then it is forgotten.                                                                                                                                      

Maree Fell has made it clear she would rather I didn't visit the shops or depot, but as a volunteer, Vincentian and State Vice President in a voluntary organisation I fail to see why I should stop. 

The position I represent here in Far North Queensland is undermined, dismissed or totally ignored. As I am your representative, were I you,             

I would wonder if the same disregard applied equally to the position of Queensland State President.

Yours truly,

Judy tierney

NOW LOOK AT THIS PATHOLOGICAL LIAR SAYING THIS AFTER HE AND MAHER AND FELL CLOSED VINNIES GYM WITH THE HELP OF QUEENSLAND POLICE PADDY WAGONS.  

Far north Queensland diocesan president McAuliffe said the society also was concerned the centre was not being utilised by those it was intended for, with fewer than 20  disadvantaged and homeless youths visiting the centre each week. There's not enough of the people who we originally intended it for going there," McAuliffe said.

"The gym has been costing the society excess of $150,000 a tear and it was felt that these funds could be directed more appropriately to fund other diocesan work in assisting the poor and needy,". He said.

"If someone is really in need and they really need a gym, the society is not about forgetting those sort of people. Any real need out there will be catered for."

This is just one citizen of Cairns that had his personal property pinched by Society's McAuliffe and liar ceo Maher.

Minister's foreword

This calendar is a truly inspirational collection of stories from Queenslanders who are sharing not only their experience of living with a disability, but their triumphs and achievements as well. Each story is a compelling picture of human resilience and courage. By sharing these stories with others, we are encouraging people to open their eyes, hearts and minds to see beyond the disability.

I am especially grateful that so many Queenslanders have once again contributed to this project. It was difficult indeed to select 12 stories from the many submissions we received. I am pleased to present the 2008 Share Your Story calendar and I am confident you will find these stories as moving and engaging as I have.

Yours sincerely,

Hon. Lindy Nelson-Carr MP

Mr Understand Warren Pitt... I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group"       

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what transpired between Francine Kubanek and Maree Fell concerning the last youth camp, CEO Peter Maher does I believe. 

What I do know is Francine was invited to join St. Ann's conference it was hoped with time the other youth workers may also become interested. 

She wished to continue working with the youth and as a volunteer with Jim's Anti-Rape classes. 

Do you have any idea how many hours and days Jim spent organizing this programme with the schools? 

That has now been completely destroyed by the administrator Maree Fell.  

As 97 girls from one school have said they wish to do the course it was necessary Francine continue with this programme. 

However since that weekend Francine has apologised to the conference and said she will no longer be able to attend. 

The other youth workers who up till that weekend had trained at the gym and mixed with the youth there at least twice a week have not been seen. 

Because of Maree Fell's unrelenting bullying Cairns has lost 6 young professional people that were helping Jim's Anti-Rape Programme.

Mr John Briton Legal Services Commissioner states -

I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was before the Qld Society had a ceo they had a plain titled General Secretary then. 

And McAuliffe was working in his wife's JEWELLERY shop in the hills.

Do you all think it was only a coincidence that he via Maree Fell stopped my wife Judith Tierney from collecting JEWELLERY in her Old Wares and Collectables? 

Judith paid $20 dollars in one of the Society's shops for a string of pearls she auctioned them and received thousands of dollars for her $20 dollar purchase. Foolishly she gave Maree Fell all the money to go in the Kitty for the poor.

St Vinnies gym for at-risk youth a winner

Roz Pulley

A GYMNASIUM for disadvantaged youth in Cairns has proved so successful it may be replicated internationally. 

The St Vincent de Paul Fitness Centre in Maranoa St - which is open to all, but primarily targets society's homeless and disaffected --- is attracting worldwide attention.

"It's the only one of its kind in the world run by St Vincent De Paul," said northern vice-president 

Judy Tierney who, together with husband Jim, was instrumental in its establishment after donating all the equipment three years ago. 

 "This is the first such venture and is very different to anything to anything St Vincent De Paul has ever done." Ms Tierney said the national president of St Vincent De Paul in Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the gym, after hearing of its success.        

"He wants to take it worldwide."  

A second Australian gym had also been tipped for Logan near Brisbane, and Ravenshoe. 

Ms Tierney said the fitness centre was changing people's lives.

"The thing that has really, really improved their self-confidence and self-esteem is the boxing.

A lot of people don't like boxing, but it's a very disciplined sport.

"We've had quite a few kids that have gone through various programs, disappeared, then come back and said they've gone back to school, which is really good. 

It is giving them focus,"

The fitness centre employs two qualified instructors and offers classes in weightlifting, bodybuilding, kickboxing, boxing, yoga, martial arts and self defence.

Anti-rape classes are also available.

Ms Tierney said between 600-8000 people visited each month.  

"The idea initially was that it was purely for street kids.

But we now have groups from Endeavour, detox, mental health and special education classes.

Lots of schools also bring in groups." 

Mr Tierney said the inspiration came from his own deprived childhood in Liverpool England. 

"When I was 14, I went to a gym for the disadvantaged. 

It was a really rough, hardcore place to go, full of people like myself.

 

 

To my knowledge that gym saved hundreds and hundreds of kids from getting involved with drugs."  Mrs Tierney said the gym had received tremendous support from the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group which recently donated nearly $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom.    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minister PITT publicly agreed with Society diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe's reason as why McAuliffe closed Vinnies Gym - they stated because it was not getting used for what it was originally set up for.

This could only be an assumption by this Minister as no personal involved in the running of Vinnies Gym had ever seen this Minister in or OUT of Vinnies Gym. 

Falsus ciminosus and despiciens from a community minister and it worked as it was intended too because no one is game to touch these Catholic laypeople.

This below is Res ipsa Loquitur.

And considering I donated all the equipment that made up the facility of Vinnies Gym that contained a professional Fitness Centre and Professional Boxing Gym.

I alone assembled the numerous pin-weighted machines. 

I alone for efficiency of space moved the literally tons in free weight on numerous occasions.

I alone spent seven days a week doing 12 /+ hours each day always on my own.

To assemble correctly and for obvious safely reasons my project - Vinnies Gym - took me many months to finish with no payment from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society. 

I do not drive so my wife had to take me in daily, then come back and pick me up seven days a week.

Then we had to listen to the hypocrita and conscindo from all the public servants, Qld politicians and their numerous advisors vilifying the entire Vinnies Gym personal that helped the disadvantaged people in Vinnies gym as they continually kept repeating the same lies as to why Jerry McAuliffe closed the gym.

The true reason is called persequor persequi persecutus - because I apposed their plorabilis nefas invisus lacesso behaviour.

Peter Maher Society ceo, McAuliffe and Maree Fell are best described as Invictus attitude full of invidia to ultio ultionis and despecto constantly accuso with malus peior pessimus and iaceo saepenumero their behaviour is best described as scelus sceleris.

First I sent Maher an email telling him if he did not stop his PAID Staff bullying and harassing Francine Kubanek Society youth coordinator - Rhonda Wallace depot manager - the Vinnies Gym instructors - and my wife who was an Society appointed Qld State Vice President I would. 

He ignored me so I contacted Prime Minister John Howard, Qld premier Beatie, Qld Attorney General Kerry Shine, Qld police Minister Judy Spence, Warren Pitt who ignored me and put it into the hands of the CPU Mr Smart and his decision was made on a secret response with the condition I would not see it! 

I blew the whistle on Society ceo Peter Maher, Society McAuliffe, and Society Cairns administrator Maree fell

 

 

Four witnessed Statutory Declarations where sent to Prime Minister John Howard three from Vinnies Gym past and present instructors, and one from me After McAuliffe closed Vinnies Gym. 

I knew he would after me confronting both Maree fell and McAuliffe after returning from Brisbane to get the bullying stopped via the Qld State President and General Secretary Tom Barry. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked into the Gym and Maree Fell and McAuliffe were barking at the Gym instructors I told them both where my wife Judith and me had been and told them both to stop their bullying and leave as I had been appointed Chairman of the Society's Gym SPECIAL WORKS because of these two individuals bullying.

So Maher McAuliffe Maree Fell just closed the gym telling the community it was not getting used for what it was set up for and I already explained these entire group were not in any official position when I donated assembled and run for FOUR UNPAID YEARS THIS WAS JUST TO SILENCE ME. 

And even as I write these Ministers public servants are still covering up for these evil individuals.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCIETY RULE                                      EMPLOYEES AND OFFICE TITLES

The Society being a voluntary organisation must always be controlled and seen to be controlled by voluntary people. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warren Pitt - CPU's Mr Smart - Complaints department - Society ceo Peter Maher - McAuliffe - Society Maree Fell expert bully all lied when they agreed PUBLICLY with McAuliffe's reason for closing Vinnies Gym.

Their public acceptance of the Society's secret conditional reason for closing Vinnies Gym that stipulated no one could read it and if they wanted to see a copy they would have to contact the FOI department. 

Persons that were vilified by this secret response from the Society had to apply to FOI department.

Yet all these public servants categorical stated that what ever this secret response contained was truthful and what this secret response stated was correct.

You all accepted the secret response as if it was Res ipsa Loquitur response. 

                                                                                                                                             Despicably behaviour because of the amount of evidence that my wife sent registered to the Qld WPH&Saftey director, Qld WPH&Saftey Cairns Regional Manager Steve Lamb this individual called the police so he did not have to answer the questions put to him by Rhonda Wallace this lady contemplated Suicide and Judith Tierney had a nervous breakdown she is my carer.   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We the victims of this deceitful Society and citizens of Cairns would have thought if such a unique project patterned by me was getting used in Cairns then going all around the WORLD a community's State minister would have been interested. 

They also would then have known since the whole project still belongs to me that only Tim O'Connor the Society State President at the time of my donation my wife and ME would know what it was set up for. 

Then Society conspirator ceo Maher's friend HOGAN with SIX WHOLE YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A GYM REVIEWER would also have listened when I asked him to educate himself regarding the conditions that went with my donation.

 

This also may have made the Society conspirator ceo Maher instructing THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors with lies regarding me and vindictive hateful lies about my character. 

But as my mother used to say many many years ago leave them to GOD son. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we have other articles and items we have not used yet to PROVE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are as described.

Pitt defends character reference for trafficker

James O'Loan

[email-masked]

MEMBER for Mulgrave Warren Pitt has defended his decision to provide a character reference for a convicted drug trafficker who was jailed recently.

Mr Pitt says the written reference he provided to Cairns Supreme Court for amphetamines trafficker Jason Wayne Maitland of Edmonton was not a show of support for his actions.

"I provided a reference for Jason so that the court was aware of some of his better qualities," Mr Pitt said.

Maitland, 43, sold $10,300 worth of ecstasy, methamphetamine and LSD to an undercover policeman at his Portsmith work shed from July to December 2004.

Last Friday Justice Stanley Jones sentenced him to three years' jail with eligibility for parole after six months.

Mr Pitt said he had known Maitland and his family "for many years" and acknowledged the trafficker committed serious crimes for which he was now paying.

"I want to be clear - providing a reference should not be construed as condoning the offence." He said he had provided hundreds of references for his constituents since becoming the local member 17 years ago.

A group decision was made to support the gym situated off Martyn Street.

As a result of our fundraising on the first occasion we paid for the flooring in the boxing ring.

It was a wonderful satisfying experience to be involved in and on visiting the gym we got to meet the staff and a few of the kids training there. I felt a real sense of achievement.

Following the first donation the following year I spoke with Jim and Judy and they let me know that they were building a new kitchen and laundry off the side of the gym. It was decided that we would focus on raising enough money to equip this extension as much as possible. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end we were able to donate a number of white goods and crockery, cutlery, glassware, appliances, i.e. toasters, kettles and a sack full of various foods, including coffee etc.

From what I have read in the media, I am of the understanding that the gym has closed down and is not going to reopen.

I am just wondering what St Vinnies has done with all the equipment as I have heard that a group is willing to reopen the GYM again and I would think that St Vinnies would want to support another group who is willing; to financially support the homeless and disadvantaged youth in Cairns.

on the first day we toured the gym after donating the boxing ring mat, an employee of  St Vinnies had told us that the, majority of the equipment had been donated by Jim Tierney.

We thought this was wonderful that an individual would show that much faith in a single community minded project.

Majority of big business in this country wouldn't even make that sort of donation.

So in conclusion I am a little confused that the, majority of the equipment was donated by Jim Tierney and the ALH group, but you are not willing to donate the equipment on to a group willing to take over where you left off.

Wouldn't it be of benefit to your organisation to assist another group to help the disadvantaged youth when you say are no longer able to?

McAuliffe has disappeared since his email to Peter Maher - 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. 

They are talking about the minutes being altered already and these are not highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials that do not walk all over there victims while every Qld government department lets them do it. 

 

They are talking about altering the minutes of a meeting of board director's [the State Council] the meeting was held because retired barrister Jack Williams a Society member threatened all the directors of the board if they did not start legal proceedings by sending a letter of demand to Ozcare and retrieve over $130 million dollars they gave away illegally he would go public and he did via The Australian newspaper. 

The Qld branch of St Vincent de Paul ceo Peter Maher sent a letter of demand to Ozcare without the sanction of all the board of directors. 

This does not make sense until you are educated that the Society of St Vincent de Paul is a Voluntary Organisation. The Society being a voluntary organisation must always be controlled by volunteers and to be seen to be controlled by volunteers. 

Here is Mr Life's Tough" ceo Peter Maher instructing Society solicitors THYNNE & MACARTNEY to send a letter of demand to Ozcare without the sanction of all the board of directors. The letter below proves this individual acts as a law to himself. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what would happen to Mr ceo law onto himself  Peter Maher if he was in England and Australia supposedly  follow the same Westminster rule of law strange.

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 will no doubt 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."

Hi Jim

Bastards turning up and closing the gym down like that it is wrong and immoral.

If there is anything I can help with don't hesitate to contact me.

Judy should contact the Media, TV, Radio, Newspapers and give a press conference and tell them about what St Vincent DePaul has done left the youth and disadvantaged in our community with nothing. 

As well as you Lee Byron and the youth.

Taking a gym which was set up for the disadvantaged in our community and they knew when it was setup it would not make a profit.

St Vincent De Paul could not spend the money meant to support the gym to help the disadvantaged in our community but instead they can spend millions of dollars to build that resort in port Douglas.

And contact the Bishop

Mrs Tierney said the gym had received tremendous support from the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group which recently donated nearly $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom -

This is the kitchen that never arrived at Vinnies gym even though it cost the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group $6000 for it. 

Dean Lock asked Judith Tierney where the fully equipped new kitchen, laundry and bathroom was that cost $6000, because Peter Maher had told him to stop his whingeing as he had done well out of the society as he [Peter Maher] paid for all these items.  

Judith Tierney told Dean Lock the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group did pay out $6000 to fully equip a new kitchen, laundry and bathroom but like on the Gold Coast in never arrived at Vinnies Gym. And Peter Maher may have $6000 of items that was supposed to go to Vinnies Gym but he certainly DID NOT PAY FOR IT. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dean Lock was shocked and appalled at this as ceo Peter Maher had also destroyed his in ground safe with an angle grinder because he did not know the safe combination.

He asked the NOW X Vinnies instructors for the combination you can imagine what they said to 

Mr Life's Tough Maher so he used an angle grinder to open an extremely expensive safe destroying it in the process.

My Anti-Rape course was deliberately sabotage by McAuliffe and Fell from QLD St Vincent de Paul.                                               

International President General José Ramón Diaz-Torremocha asked Jude to make a CD of all the activities I had operational in Vinnies Gym. He copied the CD Jude sent him and put it on the International Society web page.  

José, Jude and me continually kept contact with each other, as he had requested me to help him set up my projects in more countries than Australia. I was so thrilled that he was as troubled with drug barons controlling our children as Jude and me were. 

I said we would help set my projects in any country for him. 

This was in progress as ceo Maher, McAuliffe and Maree Fell deliberately destroyed not only Vinnies Gym in Cairns, but all the other gyms in Australia and around the world for poor kids.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ravenshoe was the second as the QLD State Council released $100,000 after advice from me via Jude. 

What this Australian Society conveniently kept secret the Society person responsible for the pommie Bastard statement had a personal agenda with his other Society friend. 

They wanted to use the building that a $100,000 had been released [from donated money for the poor] to sell computers from a Computer shop belonging to one of this individuals.

This individual had the only computer shop in Ravenshoe and wanted the captive sales market by using the building supposedly built for another gym.

After reviewing the plans of the building in Ravenshoe I paid for a boxing ring to be built, 

I also paid for a Multi-Weight Training Unit for the kids to use in their Ravenshoe Gym.                                                              

Les Smith will confirm any of this because it was him that asked Jude to ask me, if I would do it after he discovered the kids in Ravenshoe had set up their own boxing gym in a dangerous railway building that was ready for demolition. 

And being a caring person was concerned these boys could be killed using this dangerous building as a boxing Gym. For more confirmation one of the boys I was training at Vinnies Gym was the Ravenshoe Mayor's son and he had become the spokesman for the Ravenshoe boys. 

Ravenshoe's Mayor and his son and his friend's will not say one good word regarding the Society after this behaviour.

 James's money again and I when Judith Tierney and Marc King asked Ravenshoe Society officials why the building did not resemble the building that the plans had been submitted to council for passing and now so were not passed by the council.

 "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".

I have been in this country 35 years I conditionally donated almost a million dollars worth of equipment to the disadvantaged in Cairns I have two Australian granddaughters and I still cop this  "We are not having that Pommie BASTARD coming up here telling us what to do".

DOBBING in mates who were violent was not un-Australian, Communities Minister Warren Pitt told a Cairns gathering yesterday in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day." If you do know something don't remain silent," the Mulgrave MP urged those who turned out at the Centre of Contemporary Arts to jointly call for an end to violence against women. "It is not un- Australian to report something like that. This business of not dobbing in your mates can go too too far." 

Mr Pitt also said that far from being weak for men to stand up and say they had an anger problem, it showed great strength to recognise such a thing and do something. Queensland police officers, who often see lives lost and destroyed because of domestic violence, supported the day by wearing white ribbons yesterday and again today. 

The day was first introduced in Canada in 1991 after the shooting of 14 female students at the University of Montreal.

 Hello Judy,

Thank you for your letter of the 6th inst.

All of the gym equipment has been given to an Aboriginal community where it is being used by the young people to increase their health and fitness.

As this was the original purpose the equipment was obtained for in the first place we felt that it was appropriate that it was put to this use.

The Society now considers this matter is closed.

 I feel it is now time for us all to move on and to continue to help those in most need.

Yours in Christ,

John Campbell 

 

State President

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two individuals ask the same question to two different officials of these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials and they receive two different answers.

Well have I got news for yours In Christ John Campbell I did not donate anything to any aboriginal group PERIOD. 

This is the new lackey of Society ceo Maher.

He publicly pretended he cared about people with mental disorders this is were my wife came in handy for him. All he has ever done is sell insurance and drink, but he is cunning he used my wife's experience she is by profession a psychiatric hospital director. 

Like Qld Society Peter Maher that went from being a General Secretary that is the term supposed to be used by the Society's Constitution. That was not important enough for him so he changed the title to ceo. And like Maher, Campbell became the fastest self- made psychologist and psychiatrist in history. When he was getting fed in my home every time he was in Cairns because of my wife's up-bringing I always asked questions as to why he was so Holy! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And like all deceitful pretenders he would try to be a bit macho with me and gave truthful answers to me to impress me - Campbell said "If I didn't do this I would be on the piss all the time and I get a free car free petrol and trips around the place free of course." 

His wife threw this deceitful pretender out because of his drinking he informed me.

And the poor in Queensland have the likes of him and ceo Maher custodians of millions of dollars donated to the poor. 

It repulses me the way these deceitful pretenders rob from the poor and they do it without any form of accountability to not a living soul! 

We would love to know how they get away with it without any accountability. 

When it suited this unethical individual he could not care one iota of the damage he and his Christian mates did to my wife. 

So I sent the deceitful new Qld lackey this email below with no response. McAuliffe has not been seen by anyone in Cairns.

Mr John Campbell, because of the behaviour of individuals belonging to that charity my wife had a nervous breakdown and is under Psychiatric care. 

In the name of your GOD can you please advice her what to say when every time she is well enough to leave the house she is permanently pulled up by numerous people asking her where their property is as they see her as having it?                

They should be pulling that McAuliffe but he is hiding away from them in the hills. 

McAuliffe took away their property not Jude. 

John as the new man in charge that claimed to be her friend can you at least leave her with some dignity as she is getting accused of stealing these Cairns people property. 

It is alright for McAuliffe hiding away in the mountains so no one can get to him, but my wife will not go out now because she is humiliated being called a Catholic thief every time she leaves the house.  Now I promise you - this is not a threat but a promise just to you - I will get involved in the only way I know works if you do not do the right thing by my wife, it may be to late already for her sanity but if you do not do what you know is the right thing for JUDE'S health then do not say I did not give you the opportunity to show some dignity.    

Advise my wife as to what she tells these individuals accusing her of stealing.          

JIM TIERNEY 

This is already on the internet. 

I have also given documents to the Queensland police this morning as we have had enough of these creatures and all that continually covers up for them because it is a Catholic entity.

As you act on their behalf I trust you can make arrangements for me to have a key. 

I have contacted the Cairns administrator who said no, it is not her responsibility; I have been unable to contact the president.                                                                                       

He has previously told me there are only 3 keys; he has 1 the other 2 are in the Cairns office.                                  

The removal of this equipment will take me weeks. 

Please let me know what the arrangements are ASAP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUDITH TIERNEY telling Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul State President Michael McKeown -

- Rhonda Wallace her comment to me was what has prompted me contact you. 

She said at the time she so seriously considered suicide that she purchased the hose pipe and tape with the intentions of carrying it out, she had not told anyone of her level of distress. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Official complaints where handed to the Cairns administrator Maree Fell regarding St Vincent de Paul WPH&S representative Peter O'Shaughnessy. These reports never left Mrs. Maree Fell's Cairns Anderson Street office. They were complaints that every time Peter O'Shaughnessy was stood in front of women he would deliberately maul his genitals, or hold and rub his balls as it has been described to me.                                                                                 

State Vice President Judith Tierney personally told him to stop doing it when he did it in front of her.

Rhonda Wallace reported these obscene acts to the then diocesan President Marc King.        

We wonder how many more complaints the Cairns Administrator Maree Fell threw away.    

 Because of women complaining and again nothing being done about these complaints I reported this behaviour to WPH&SAFTEY QLD DIRECTOR. 

Cairns WPH&SAFTEY regional manager Steve Lamb did nothing about this criminal obscene behaviour after I informed him. 

In fact this individual was not prepared to do anything about Maher's Fell's McAuliffe and any other member of the Society behaviour before I had a Liverpool type of conversation on the phone with this Steve Lamb.  

Cairns St Vincent de Paul WPH&S representative Peter O'Shaughnessy I understand was involved in these vicious and malicious rumours about Rhonda Wallace after Rhonda made her official complaints to Maree Fell.

 Warren Pitt MP Member for Mulgrave Our reference: AIO5/09176 CMMO3848          

1 6 NOV 2005

 Warren Pitt Qld Communities minister - I am aware that the closure of St Vinnie's Gym impacted on a number of disadvantaged groups within the community.                                                        I have been informed that the gym was established in 2000 with donated equipment, and the original target group of the program was young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who could not afford, or were not comfortable in a standard commercial gymnasium.

Since the program's inception in 2000, disadvantaged people from all ages have used the facility as individuals, and as part of user paying groups. 

I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group. 

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                      Just one of many 

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

 I recently attended a six week Anti-Rape Course conducted by Mr. Jim Tierney and have no hesitation in recommending this course to all women from high school age to 100 +. 

Mr. Tierney delivered the course in a no-nonsense, realistic, "as it is" manner - nothing was sugar - coated.

I am a 55 year old grandmother- the eight participants ranged in age from 12 to 6 2- and I personally had my whole attitude to survival turned completely around, eg I had previously been advised never to resist, but to passively accept, an attack. 

The most important thing I learned in this course was not only to resist, but to fight back, and with determination, 

in order to survive.

 I believe if girls aged from 12 or 13 had the opportunity to participate in this course, it would benefit them greatly their whole life, as awareness is surely the key.

Sincerely   

Christine Forrester

COPY FROM THE CONSTITUTION

VERSION 1 - PRINTED OCTOBER 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

!!  ceo Peter Maher he could not accept being an ordinary general secretary or worse still just a liaison officer come on he is a very important man!! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We made several official written complaints to the Government controlling body of the law Society. 

Because the law Society agreed that Maher and McAuliffe exacerbate my condition and caused Judith to have a nervous breakdown they advised us that we could primarily sue Maher and the Society separately. 

The reason the THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors get away with any retribution is simple - by law they only follow instructions it is not them that officially say anything to anyone it is ceo Peter Maher and McAuliffe, they instruct the Society solicitors. 

And because we can prove Maher and McAuliffe passed on lies, Maher is not allowed to use donated money for the poor to keep covering his lying arse. 

All official instructions to Society solicitors THYNNE & MACARTNEY are just that, INSTRUCTIONS. 

Because these instructions were given by Maher we are entitled to sue Maher and the Society. 

So I will get all the publicity I have been denied by the Society. 

But the best thing that came from this investigation is because Maher used the title of ceo and THE RULE of the Society recommends this title is not appropriate for a Voluntary Organisation, he takes all the hits because it was his instructions that THYNNE & MACARTNEY carried out and acted on.

So his legal defence fees cannot come from donated money for the poor, that he thought he could use indefinitely.  

He should now, pay his legal fees himself; simply because of the Constitution the Society has in place, or should follow to keep its tax concessions. 

This is because his conduct as a ceo is appalling.

You have asserted that Thynne & McCartney made a false statement about Mr Tierney in that they stated that Mr Tierney had previously been requested to provide a copy of his boxing trainer licence. I note particularly the wording of their letter:

"However, as your client has failed (despite request) to produce a copy of his license, the Society has not been able to verify that claim".

On my reading, these words infer that the St Vincent de Paul Society (the Society) has made previous requests to see Mr Tierney's licence.  

I appreciate Mr Tierney's circumstances and respect his opinion that the statement was intentionally false. 

Has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health.

JUDITH TIERNEY TRYING TO FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PROCEDURES A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

A letter sent to Qld St Vincent De Paul State President Michael Mckeown from his appointed Vice President Judith Tierney regarding the amount of bullying from Maree Fell, Jerry McAuliffe, and CEO Peter Maher copies of which are in the hands of government officials that are doing nothing.

To Qld SVDP State President Michael Mckeown from Judith Tierney his Qld SVDP VICE PRESIDENTS

Dear mike,    

You have often said that as members of the State Council we have a responsibility to the Council, Society and members or those working for the Society. I was reminded of this a few days ago by one of the people mentioned in this letter.  Some of these people are having discussions with the Workplace Health & Safety/ Anti-discrimination department. I know that you are aware of some of these issues in part, but for your information I will elaborate a little.  All of these people believe their concerns were addressed via the correct channels without the necessity or going outside the Society. Rhonda Wallace her comment to me was what has prompted me contact you. 

She said at the time she so seriously considered suicide that she purchased the hose pipe and tape with the intentions of carrying it out, she had not told anyone of her level of distress. She was at the time continually advised by many friends to resign. This she did, but on handing in her resignation to the diocesan president she was asked if it was what she really wanted? 

Told that she would be badly missed and that perhaps she should think about it she did reconsider but then to add to her distress and humiliation was told it was too late. It is only during the last week that I have ever heard Rhonda mention suicide.

She told me she was only now starting to think about the state mentally, she must have been in to even consider such a thing. 

Rhonda had spent much of her own time after work and weekends cleaning up around Society bins, and collected volunteers on her way to work she arrived at work one day to be informed she was no longer permitted to take the Society ute home and room was to be made available for it to be parked in the depot. No reason was offered. This was the first incident.

It was after this time complaints began arriving about mess around the bins.                   

She has kept a daily diary of all issues, correspondence between herself and administration.               Union representatives, solicitors who had sent a warning letter concerning the derogatory remarks that were being made about her and any paper work produced during this time.

During one period of time that a shop was being rearranged the administrator told a volunteer to go to a local hardware store for items and sign her (the administrators) signature to the society account.                                                                      

The volunteer said she did not wish to do this, she was then told "If I tell you too you will".    

There were several witnesses to this conversation, one of who was the depot manager.               This surely should be seen as verbal assault?

This was told to me by both the volunteer and the depot manager.                          

If this is so easy to say and direct someone to do the question how many times before or since comes to mind. 

There is one incident concerning a lady who had bruising on her arm. 

This bruising was caused by a male volunteer. 

This is common assault. 

I saw her at Anderson St some one hour later still so distressed she could not hold cup of coffee. 

She was waiting until she felt well enough to drive home.      

She had spoken with the youth worker and the diocesan president who told Rodney (the man involved) to go home. 

I suggested to her that an incident report should be handed to Maree Fell the next day. 

Rodney had at times verbally attacked other volunteers and Rhonda as depot manager. 

Maree and another volunteer decided the best way to handle this was to ensure they did not work together.

He is not there but just left on his own accord.                                                                        He has done this several times and then returned the lady continues to be afraid he will return and be welcome back. 

I don't know what transpired between Francine Kubanek and Maree Fell concerning the last youth camp, Peter Maher does I believe. 

What I do know is Francine was invited to join St. Ann's conference it was hoped with time the other youth workers may also become interested. 

She wished to continue working with the youth and as a volunteer with the Jim Anti-Rape classes. 

Do you have any idea how many hours and days Jim spent organizing this programme with the schools? 

 That has now been completely destroyed by the administrator.  

As 97 girls from one school have said they wish to do the course it was necessary Francine continue with this programme. However since that weekend Francine has apologised to the conference and said she will no longer be able to attend. 

The other youth workers who up till that weekend had trained at the gym and mixed with the youth there at least twice a week have not been seen. 

Maree Fell in just one more bullying incident has lost 6 young professional people. 

Francine's move to her own office did not decrease the level of bullying and intimidation she was subjected to from Maree Fell. 

She did attempt to address these issues through proper avenues. 

She gave a letter of complaint to the diocesan president Jerry McAuliffe he read it and then returned it to her; it is no secret in the Society any more that McAuliffe ands Maree Fell are extremely close. 

Francine Kubanek went to Brisbane in the hope that meeting CEO Peter Maher and having the opportunity to be honest when speaking with the CEO. 

CEO Maher was really, not concerned did not help her as his allegiance to McAuliffe and Maree Fell

is well known here. after Jim telling the CEO if he did not do something to stop this consistent bullying by Maree Fell supported by McAuliffe, Jim would do something. 

I understand COE Maher was furious at Jim COE Maher thought that no one would hear him vilifying poms, because he was so furious at Jim. 

Francine's parting words were "I hope never to hear the name St. Vincent de Paul again".

As is always the outcome in such cases, the most disadvantaged continue to be the only ones truly disadvantaged, in this case the youth. 

It will not reflect well on the Society if Jims Anti-Rape courses are just disregarded without explanation. And if an explanation is to be offered then by whom?

Regarding the old wares I know you were, told this was a unanimous decision, what you don't know is the volunteers at this meeting had previously been told that I no longer wish to do it. 

Not true.

It was a store co coordinators meeting and not a diocesan council meeting.                       

At that meeting it was also decided that old ware would go to the shops. 

This I know for a fact has not happened, so where are they?                                   

They were not only being donated because I was collecting them. 

I also know that the Society lost a considerable amount of money by selling items for much less than they should have realised.                                                                                                                                     

I had been doing this with the full support of the volunteers they themselves would put items aside for me to see), I feel disgusted that this discussion took place at a meeting that I was not invited to. 

If it was truly the wish of volunteers I firmly believe they would have told me in a way other then a curt email this email was opened by Jim. 

When he saw how distressed I became he contacted you, John Campbell and Peter Maher. 

When he next saw the diocesan president McAuliffe he asked why the diocesan president (McAuliffe) didn't have the manners to inform me himself as he had been at that meeting. 

Jim asked him if the position of State Vice President had any validity. 

Or is it only a female State Vice President that has no validity?

I don't know why this has suddenly become personal with Maree Fell towards me but it has, and has been commented on by other staff and volunteers.

This makes little or no sense since I was the one who arranged for Maree Fell to return working for society. 

In the last month or so many Vincentians have said they could have told me at the time of her return would end up causing trouble, typically no one said anything at the time. 

Maree Fell herself has told me it was not her decision or wish to transfer to then community services that is now a separate entity Ozcare.

I have never seen any paper work to give an indication of why, but there must have been a good reason for the diocesan president to go to that extreme. 

As you will be aware talk goes back and forth between those who work for Ozcare and the Society about possible outcomes. 

It has been said directly to me by two people that they look forward to working for the society if that comes about, but they will not be prepared to work under the supervision of Maree Fell again. 

Their words, "they had enough last time."

I was surprised last week to be told that those same concerns had been voiced to at least one other person.

With the level of bullying and intimidation that constantly goes on in Cairns area, I am left wondering if the Society's social justice policy does extend to its own volunteers. 

Some of the volunteers and staff would be willing to speak with you, others however are too afraid or fear of "being carpeted." The next obvious question is why or how I know of these issues?                                                                                           

The simple answer is I visit the stores and volunteers and am prepared to listen. People often only need to express their concerns (some real, some just displeasure), they feel better if they have talked about it and then it is forgotten.

Maree Fell has made it clear she would rather I didn't visit the shops or depot, but as a volunteer, Vincentian and State Vice President in a voluntary organisation I fail to see why I should stop. 

The position I represent here in Far North Queensland is undermined, dismissed or totally ignored. As I am your representative, were I you,             

I would wonder if the same disregard applied equally to the position of Queensland State President.

Yours truly,

Judy Tierney

Appointed Queensland Society State Vice President

QLD SVDP State President Michael Mckeown resigned.  

We understand an Ozcare worker working in Cairns stated Michael Mckeown was caught with his head in the trough!             

A classic example of the principal of res ipsa loquitur!

Jude dropped off over a hundred pages of mine to Mr Qld police commissoner asking where the FedS gear is? 
I also told Mr Qld police commissoner Bishop James Foley tried to pay McAuliffe to deliver ALL DONATED ITEMS to a property belonging to his church so I could give the FEDS and every one eles property back to the lawful owners.

And why ceo Peter Maher and Jerry McAuliffe that altered the minutes at a board of directors meeting are not jailed like company directors in England have recently been. And concidering they are altering minutes were they are trying to retrieve a $324 millon dollars given away illegally.

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

Copies of only the emails WE copied so this is only a portion of the official numbers of contacts WE have sent. WE are being deliberately ignored. Well WE have had it with that arrogant corrupt department. WE have been told that your INSPECTORS WALK AROUND BARKING AT OTHER WORK PLACES THAT DO NOT CONFORM WITH YOUR DEPARTMENTS ORDERS SO WHY ARE the CATHOLIC St Vincent de Paul's OFFICIALS HAVING NO ACTION TAKEN AGAINST THEM BY THAT DEPARTMENT? 

WHY IS St Vincent de Paul WPH&SAFTEY REPRESENTATIVE PETER O"SHAUNESSY still working after his appalling obscene behaviour of holding and rubbing his balls every time he stood in front of women as it has been described that was reported on numerous occasions? 

Rhonda Wallace officially complained to SOCIETY BULLY INSTRUCTOR MAREE FELL as did Judith Tierney in her appointed position as Society Qld Vice President.

WHY is St Vincent de Paul's Maree Fell allowed to bully with impunity demand an elderly female volunteer to forge her signature tell malicious lies about Judy Tierney and cause Rhonda Wallace to
contemplate suicide? 

Why is St Vincent de Paul McAuliffe allowed to conspire with Maree Fell with her lies about Judy Tierney, read official documents of complaints handed to him by FRANCINE KUBANEK a female employee then handed these listed complaints back to her making her resign?                                                  Why is St Vincent de Paul ceo Maher able to lie time after time slandering JIM TIERNEY and
doing nothing after being informed about bullying harassment of elderly volunteers and workers? 

We demand the name of the person or place WE can contact to lodge official
complaintsssssssssssssssssssssssssss about the blatant corruption of this department. 

We demand the property of Jim Tierney held by Lamb to be returned now!                                                   Below SOME of the emails sent to that department-31-30-29-29-29-29-29-28-28-21 / 08 /2006-

At least have the decorum to tell us you have no intention of helping us and give us the person that department is accountable too.

                         COM 00010-2008

Dear Lee Norris

Senior Policy Advisor   

Maybe if Warren Pitt - Mr Smart - McAuliffe and Society ceo Maher and expert Society money controller and bully Maree Fell and the Qld Complaints department had been as sharp to read the Cairns Post dated on Monday, November 17, 2003 or at least visit Vinnies Gym JUST ONCE.

They may not have been so sharp on backing McAuliffe's lies for closing Vinnies Gym.

The horror on Warren Pitt's head when I confronted him about him vilifying my wife's unknown 10 years of unpaid volunteer work caring for the mentally ill that people of his ilk would not go near.                     

Mary Triant gave me Pitt's letter to her that Pitt thought Jude and me would never see, hence the horror on Pitt's head when I confronted him because of him vilifying all of us that worked long hours for no pay in Vinnies Gym helping our disadvantaged.

Minister my donation to your Cairns disadvantaged would cost a million dollars to replace in today's money. I did not give it to these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials to discard as they feel fit.

So have these Society officials return every item that I donated and also all the expensive equipment donated by the ALH GROUP for Vinnies Gym not to the personal of this Society.

Many big businesses donated thousands of dollars worth of equipment too they contacted me and told me they want it returned as it also was donated with conditions and the one condition they did not give was it was not for Society ceo Maher or McAuliffe.

WE ALL WANT IT ALL BACK FOR YOUR COMMUNITIES  DISADVANTAGED TO USE AS I HAD ASKED as I was promised by these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials my donation would be used only for YOUR DISADVANTAGED IN CAIRNS. 

It was interesting as recently some of the USA NAVY sailors told me if your countrymen will not return all the donated equipment to them poor kids let us know and we will expose the Society and any named government officials I send them throughout the good old USA.

Now my years of special training of all the Vinnies Gym instructors all this unpaid not like Pitt because "It's the only one of its kind in the world run by St Vincent De Paul - said State Vice-President Judy Tierney who, together with husband Jim, was instrumental in its establishment after donating all the equipment three years ago. 

And everyone including government ministers would not believe me that Vinnies Gym was not and always has not been a one off as ceo Maher wants everyone to believe because I would sack him first.

Then I had to put up with this two bit gym reviewer a very close friend of honest Maher ceo. 

I BET NO ONE SAW OR WILL EVER SEE THE BILL FOR THIS EXPERT FRIEND OF MAHER FOR HIM TO REVIEW ONE GYM HO HO HO.

This two bit gym reviewer could review my WORLD PROJECTS FOR THE 

WORLD"S DISADVANTAGED REQUESTED BY MY FRIEND BELOW

 Le President General   José Ramón Diaz- Torremocha.

Surely any one with the tiniest bit of sense can now read through all this bile splashed at us - Maher -McAuliffe -Maree Fell -Michael McKeon - Society National President......................

HAD NEVER MET OUR FRIEND BEFORE HE CAME TO CAIRNS. 

HE NEVER CAME TO CAIRNS TO SEE ANY OF THIS LOT WHAT COULD THEY GIVE HIM ONLY HOW TO PROVIDE FOR EXPENSIVE MISTRESSES FREE.   

HE WANTED ME TO TAKE MY GYM AND BOXING PROJECTS WORLD WIDE AS

José Ramón Diaz- Torremocha is a good man to the poor.

Then I blew the Whistle on them all to John Howard and every one I could I HAd To GO AND MAHER DID A GOOD JOB ON ME HAVING EVERY ONE BELIEVE EVERY LYING WORDS OR INVISABLE REGISTERED LETTERS.

(despite request) I king hit a child the more I have to write this down the more I would well you gather my drift if it was you. 

Would any of you reading this put your hands in your pocket for the poor as I did?

I know the answer already because of your behaviour towards the mentally ill, poor and disadvantaged in Cairns now.   

Assembling all my donated equipment that made up Vinnies gym a professional weightlifting and bodybuilding gym / a professional boxing gym and I did this ALONE. 

Reasons - not one individual belonging to this deceptive Society had the knowledge or experience or indeed interest in BOXING WEIGHTLIFTING BODYBUILDING.

The only things that interested Society officials in this country was how much money they could use up on their free credit cards on them selves, but in most cases their mistresses. 

Mistresses are a prerequisite for this lot so no one could give the other up its their very effective insurance system.   

Spiritually is popular with these Society officials especially when you can only have your spiritually enhanced in extremely costly hotels all from the deep deep poor box. 

I frightened most of them often when I asked if their spiritually enhancement would still be important if they paid for it themselves.  And they could give me the money for shoes for the shoeless kids as a consequent of having no shoes they could not train without shoes in the gym. I will ask the reader how many shoes you think I received from these spiritualists ZERO yes Zero.                                                                                                                                                        

When USA naval personnel that I knew for the benefit of the reader found out the amount of Australian kids without shoes they supplied me with hundreds of training shoes delivered directly to my home address in Cairns. 

Because they could not believe you people did not care enough for the shoeless kids in Cairns.

IMAGINE the INTERNATIONAL PUBLICLY WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALREADY with having to ask American servicemen and women to supply Australian shoeless kids with shoes so they can train in my donated gym. 

WHILE POLICY ADVISORS LOOKED ON FOR YEARS WITHOUT DOING A THING FOR DISADVANTAGED KIDS - INDEED BACKING UP FOR THESE DOGS OF MEN.

I still keep contact with a great deal of these American service personnel from the USA NAVY. 

Most said they would love to meet the very very reverend vicar McAuliffe that closed Vinnies Gym because he did not like being told he is a QUILT by a man with my physical attributes. 

Quilt is from Liverpool it is a description for poodles like McAuliffe and Society ceo Maher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      

 "This is the first such venture and is very different to anything to anything St Vincent De Paul has ever done." Ms Tierney said the national president of St Vincent De Paul in Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the gym, after hearing of its success.                 "He wants to take it worldwide."  

All my years of training all the Vinnies Gym instructors because of my wife's quote above.

We the Society victims and citizens of Cairns would have thought if such a unique project patterned by me was getting used in Cairns then going nation wide in Australia. Then the world a community's State minister would have been interested. 

He also would then have known since the whole project still belongs to me that only        Tim O'Connor the Society State President at the time of my donation my wife and ME would know what it was set up for. 

Then Society conspirator ceo Maher's friend HOGAN with SIX WHOLE YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A GYM REVIEWER would also have listened when I asked him to educate himself regarding the conditions that went with my donation.

This also may have made the Society conspirator ceo Maher instructing THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors with lies regarding me and vindictive hateful lies about my character. 

But as my mother used to say many many years ago leave them to GOD son.

Unfortunately for this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society ceo Maher and his deceptive unethical colleagues I am taking legal action now.

And we have other articles we have not used yet to PROVE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are as described.

So MinIster give these kids a break and get their property returned to them so I can tell the US NAVY you are a good person not like the last minister.

If what I have already provide you to whom is telling the truth I will flood your office with lots more surprises.

Thank YOU AND DO THE RIGHT THING AS MUCH AS YOU MAY NOT TO EXCEPT IT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER.

THANKING YOU ON BEHALF OF THE POOR IN YOUR COMMUNITY

The Cairns Post newspaper did an article on the Society's empty depot.

So we responded and gave the editor the reason for the empty depot it was never put in the paper of course.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THESE ARE TRUE FACTS AND IT WILL COME OUT WHEN QLD POLICE COMMISSIONER RECEIVES THE EVIDENCE AS WE HAVE HAD THIS DISGUSTING PEOPLE STEALING FROM THE POOR AS WE HOPE YOU DO.

The real reason for the [St Vincent de Paul desperately empty depot] after the Cairns community found out about McAuliffe and Cairns administrator Maree Fell's conspiracy, and bullying of women - Francine Kubanek - Judy Tierney - Rhonda Wallace ect ect-                        

Judy Tierney was a very popular Society Diocesan president and even more popular Society Qld Vice president. 

When the lady volunteers found out what the real McAuliffe and Maher and Fell were like - they did what any decent person would do they abandoned this evil individuals.

Society ceo Peter Maher name is odious in Cairns and donators also realise Society ceo Peter Maher commands these thieves and bullys.                             

We go out of our way to warn people universally of Society ceo Peter Maher moral fibre.

They used one of the Catholic papers here, the Cairns SUN for publicity and were given a whole page. It was a big mistake having Peter O'Shaughnessy on the front page of the Cairns SUN newspaper.

Hopefully the penny will drop after this. 

Peter O'Shaughnessy is the Society's Qld WPH&S representative another reason why Rhonda Wallace and fellow victims were not helped by Qld WPH&S. 

This man started rumours that eventually made Rhonda Wallace resign from the Society. The rumours this man started were Rhonda Wallace is a lesbian and should not work for a Catholic charity. 

This is also the same man that was told to stop playing with his genitals every time he stood in front of any woman. Rhonda Wallace had to put in an official complaint to Cairns administrator Maree fell after asking O'Shaughnessy repeatedly to stop doing this criminal obscene act in front of her. Judy Tierney also put in a official complaint about O'Shaughnessy to Maree Fell after she asked him to stop playing with his genitals while she was seated in her car.

The women wonder if it has any thing to do with Peter O'Shaughnessy being a St Vincent de Paul WPH&S representative. They know this obscene act is unlawful.

The people of Cairns that do not belong to the Catholic Church know now Catholic charities can bully, abuse employees, steal donated money with impunity.                         

See what the Gold Coast Society branch did with their donated money for the poor. $200,000 was the very conservative figure the Society gave the public that was allegedly stolen by a paid worker in the same position Maree Fell holds in Cairns.  

Society Qld State president Michael McKeown hastily resigned not long after the above was made public.

And he became even more paranoid with his involvement with Society Qld ceo conspirator Peter Maher. 

What is common practice with these pious sanctimonious Society officials is telling secrets about each other to other people, never thinking it will be repeated or told to any one else.

Mr Pitt's letter to Mary Triant saying he understood........ is a good example of there behaviour.

Michael McKeown was always made welcome in my home by my wife while he thought she was valuable to him. 

I have never trusted pious and sanctimonious people and this is a good description for Michael McKeown.

Fortunately for us Michael McKeown gave me the opportunity to collate plenty of secrets especially about secret Society mistresses.

And my judgement was correct about this individual as he still has property belonging to me that the police know about, yet he still has my property.  

The Witnessed Statutory Declarations stating the truth of why McAuliffe closed Vinnies Gym was made public Michael McKeown's paranoia hit the roof after realising what he had disclose to me. 

And I have enough to close this Society believe me and I will use every sentence I can so that eventually a Society OFFICIAL will SUE ME - THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO TRULY EXPOSE THE WRONGDOING OF THESE highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials.

 

good governance, accountability and transparency

As an advocate of good governance, accountability and transparency at State council meetings during my term on the Council, starting with state council members, to ensure that the good name of the Society of St Vincent de Paul could be upheld at all times and withstand total public scrutiny,

Dignity

Michael I know you could not care less.

But just for the sake of my honour and so that you can never say you have not been told - my wife 

Jude you're once representative here in Cairns is extremely ill and I mean extremely. 

She has tried numerous times to ring you but it seems all phones in Brisbane do not reach Cairns anymore. 

A psychiatrist who fortunately is a good friend of both of us is supervising her.

She genuinely thought you would help her when help was needed, your lack of support has destroyed her faith and for that i hope you are proud.

I do not really expect a response, as I am sure you will follow the SVDP way of ignoring a problem in the eventuality it will just go away.

I also hope you remember why Jude and I met with you and Mr. Barry in Brisbane.

But I assure you and your CEO I most certainly will not go away even if I have to take up the charitable offer from my friend a true man of God and a barrister in Liverpool to visit me to help clear my name. 

As it seems to me solicitors in Australia except the Society's just get ignored.                                         

You where welcomed in my home whenever you where in Cairns and you just turned your back on Jude. 

What makes it even harder to understand is when I first met you I asked you if you were in anyone's pocket? 

Your answer was "I am my own man". 

As for me like Jesus Christ you and your ceo have tried to crucify me, humiliated me to an extent I hope you never have to feel. You never even asked me what the conversation was about in the gym with Maree Fell and the president McAuliffe but everyone shortly will know. 

I am going to ask you as the State President an alleged man of God to make your CEO send the clearly defined information requested by my solicitor to him. 

So I can conclude the process to clear my Catholic name. 

Ending on one last appeal could you return my book you have been asked to return on numerous occasions.

I am giving you a chance to not be included with the liars and thieves below, but once I know you have be told by me - rest assured your NAME and anything else you have done or not have done will be put on the world wide web till we catch you personally like McKeon was caught. 

We have a collection of passionate VIP's world wide NOW that have formed a team - with the same objective to stop donated money being spent on mistresses, Prawns, Hotels, EXPENSIVE Phoney elections like Peter Ryan's  Vs Tom O'Connor.               

While I was at that Phoney election I was told a bunch of flowers for that Phoney election cost $300.               

Air fares for the terminator and wife from Sydney just on the off chance Ryan and his numerous mistresses won. 

He did not win instead the poor had McKeown expert in spending donated money who still will not return my books he borrowed what weak bastards they are.

And last but not least my brother has a copy of a certain memorandum that English reporters friends of us want to pay him plenty to publish in their papers that get re-published in Australia, America, Europe, ect ect.      

I will not stop till you give up these bullies of women and stop them using money donated for the poor it was NOT donated to defend their lying, stealing arses.

Maher ceo [tell him I will never forget he publicly said I KING HIT A CHILD] and will catch him believe me, McAuliffe and his VERY VERY CLOSE FRIEND Maree Fell expert in bullying SLIM, PRETTY, YOUNG, and not so young LADIES.

Maree Fell that tried to bully an ELDERLY VOLUNTEER LADY TO FORGE HER SIGNATURE ON A WORK DOCUMENT, 

WE wonder if she barked this in front of witnesses how long she has been and still doing this like her colleague in the GOLD COAST you lot admitted to $200,000 so conservatively we could triple that figure.

Paid staff Pervert Peter O'Shaunessey, and the people that stole $100, 000 for the gym I paid good money out for a ring and weight machines because Les Smith asked me to in Ravenshoe.

You people have property belonging to me in Mareebra and Ravenshoe also.

Bernie Gough life long member of that society told Judy and me he could prove Maree Fell stole $20,000. 

So we all know when he tried to see the Cairns financial reports that he is entitled too SEE BY THE RULE and as a member of that society. Maree Fell chased him.

I thought while you were fed in my house you had dignity and a little bit of honour as you wanted to travel around Australia with my wife in the pretence of caring for the mentally ill but you are just like Maher ceo and McKeown users of POOR MONEY on yourselves.

This is just the start if you continue hiding these bullies your name will be added not a threat just a promise! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ask Pitt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COPY

----- send this around the world the way only you can for me.

This bastard belongs to the champagne socialists crew here.

He stood by and let numerous women be bullied harassed and slandered by officials of St Vincent de Paul's here in Qld.

One lady tried to kill herself while under Psychiatric care the others are all under Psychiatric care.  

He told Qld Work Place health and Safety DIRECTOR to BLANK THEM.

The money these officials are spending on their defence ALL FROM DONATED MONEY FOR THE POOR is endless, every penny these bastards spend on their arses some homeless street kid, bashed wife, hungry kid is denied the money generations donated to help them. 

Do not worry about pay back I have them boxed off with the Bishop of Cairns that officially cannot pull their necks in these being lay people.

Pitt lets St Vincent de Paul bullys of women walk yet gives character reference to convicted drug trafficker.

Pitt defends character 

reference for trafficker

James O'Loan

[email-masked]

 

MEMBER for Mulgrave Warren Pitt has defended his decision to provide a character reference for a convicted drug trafficker who was jailed recently.

Mr Pitt says the written reference he provided to Cairns Supreme Court for amphetamines trafficker Jason Wayne Maitland of Edmonton was not a show of support for his actions.

"I provided a reference for Jason so that the court was aware of some of his better qualities," Mr Pitt said.

Maitland, 43, sold $10,300 worth of ecstasy, methamphetamine and LSD to an undercover policeman at his Portsmith work shed from July to December 2004.

Last Friday Justice Stanley Jones sentenced him to three years' jail with eligibility for parole after six months.

Mr Pitt said he had known Maitland and his family "for many years" and acknowledged the trafficker committed serious crimes for which he was now paying.

"I want to be clear - providing a reference should not be construed as condoning the offence." He said he had provided hundreds of references for his constituents since becoming the local member 17 years ago.

To the Editor Daily Mail,

Sir,
A friend has recently emailed us your on line paper.
He like most in England do not realise your paper is available here in Australia and we look forward to it. Sharia Law..... you may think you have the monopoly on fools we here in Australia are run by the Catholic Church. I have been trying to expose that Qld St Vincent de Paul gave away illegally $130 million ++ dollars to a private entity called Ozcare that returns nothing back to this charity. No reporter here will touch this story because of the Catholic Church yet the Catholic Church have played no part in this stealing as the Society is run by Lay men and women. Do you know any courageous reporters that care about Australias poor?

information for any of the ministers letter writers unless the minister may feel honourable today. Makes no difference if you dislike us or not as you individuals threw protocol out with us years ago. What does make a difference to us as free citizens of Cairns that government ministers and their departments are impartial in their duty of care to us! Unlike Pitt and John Mickel.

The truth is the truth no matter how you individuals hate us we are telling the truth.
We were bullied to - suicide - nervous breakdowns - unemployment while that department and ministers covers up for corrupt viouc vile bullies belonging to a lay society of thieves.

And we are not going away no matter how long you cover up for them as Pitt was told

Dear Sir,
My name is James Victor Tierney.
email: [email-masked]

I am a licensed pro trainer in Cairns originally from Liverpool England.
And on behalf of some youngsters I am also training at my not-to-profit The Stable FNQ.
 Its constantly asked of me by the parents of my charges as to why they cannot represent their country in Australian boxing. 

I find it very difficult trying to explain to these parents why their children cannot represent
Australia in boxing when their children box under The Sunshine State Boxing League.
As in England and I presume the world, only have one amateur governing body, where here there seems to be many amateur governing body.
I would really appreciate it if you could clarify and advise me to help me explain to the parents of my charges what is the position of Australian amateur boxers that want to represent Australia officially. 

And what is the validity of all the other Australian amateur governing body?

Thank you
Jim Tierney

This says it all Robert

AMATEUR BOXING

Mr GLACHAN (Albury) [6.33]: I wish to speak on behalf of a young constituent of mine, Mr Caine Melbourne, a promising young amateur boxer who lives in the Albury electorate. Some time ago as a member of the National Boxing League he took part in tournaments sponsored by that league. 

But realising that the Amateur Boxing Association was the only organisation that had the right to select national representatives, he decided he would switch to that association because he felt he might have had a chance to represent Australia at a future Commonwealth Games or perhaps Olympic Games. 

Being ambitious and fairly well thought of in amateur boxing in the Albury district, he decided that would be the best course for him. 

However, some time ago Caine, while working at a hotel known as the Ettamogah Pub, was told by his employer there that he was having staged at the hotel a boxing tournament sponsored by that National Boxing League.

As at that time Caine was a member of that league, he agreed to take part in the tournament, and subsequently he joined the Australian Amateur Boxing Association. 

He realised he had a bit of a problem, but to keep faith with his employer - he felt it important that he do that, especially as his employer had gone to a lot of trouble to advertise the tournament and advertise locally that Caine Melbourne would be taking part in it - Caine felt he should keep the promise he made and take part in that tournament. 

He did exactly that, but was then told by the Australian Amateur Boxing Association that he was no longer considered to be part of its organisation and would not be allowed to compete in any of its tournaments. 

This meant that the opportunity for him to represent Australia in the future in international competitions would be cut off.

Caine was very upset about that. His father wrote to the Secretary of the Australian Amateur Boxing Association, Mr Arthur Tunstall, pointing out the circumstances involved, that Caine was a young man who had made a mistake and misjudged the situation, that he realised now that he should never as a member of the Australian Amateur Boxing Association have taken part in an Australian Boxing League tournament, and that he regretted it. 

The letter pointed out the circumstances of his obligation to his employer, given the advertising that had been undertaken. 

His father received a reply saying simply that the board had considered his excuse but felt it really was not relevant, and that Caine would no longer be considered by the Amateur Boxing Association. 

Caine's father has attempted to ring the association on a number of occasions but cannot get a hearing. 

One of the reasons for that could have been, of course, that Arthur Tunstall was overseas and was not available.

But Caine's problem has caused a lot of concern in the Albury area and has been the subject of speculation in the local media about his possibilities of representing Australia and the fact that this avenue is now closed to him. 

I appeal to the Minister for Sport and Recreation. 

I spoke to her early this morning and informed her that I would raise this matter. 

I wonder whether she could move on behalf of all the young amateur boxers in this country who want to be involved in the fine sport of amateur boxing, who do not understand the politics and jealousies involved, who might initially become involved with the Amateur Boxing League only to find their opportunity to represent Australia is totally cut off.

 I wonder whether the Minister might be able to make some effort on behalf of my constituent, Caine Melbourne, and also on behalf of all those young Australians who would just like the opportunity to represent their country in the future. 

I know that is quite a task and that many have tried in the past, but the Australian Amateur Boxing Association is very fixed in its views and will not give an opportunity to anyone who belongs to the league. 

Such jealousy is very stupid. I wonder whether they could work together for the sake of young people in the sport. I hope the Minister might be able to help in some way in this regard.

Mr AMERY (Mount Druitt - Minister for Agriculture) [6.37]: 

I will make sure that the representations made by the honourable member for Albury are passed on to the Minister for Sport and Recreation. 

The issue he has raised comes as somewhat of a surprise to me, that jealousies exist between boxing organisations and associations. 

Such jealousies have plagued the sport overseas in the professional arena. 

A former Minister for Sport, Michael Cleary, brought in legislation to clear up the New South Wales boxing associations. 

Debate on that legislation expressed the hope of resolving much of the jealousy and rivalry that unfortunately afflicts boxing at both amateur and professional levels. 

I hope that the Minister will be able to negotiate on behalf of the honourable member's constituent. 

It is sad that a person's chance to represent Australia and bring home a medal for the sake of our country could be hampered by rivalry or jealousy between boxing organisations. 

The honourable member has made an excellent point. I am sure the Minister will do all she can to assist in this matter.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language . There is no egg in eggplant , nor ham in hamburger ; neither apple nor pine in pineapple . English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads , which aren't sweet , are meat . We take English for granted . But if we explore its paradoxes , we find that quicksand can work slowly , boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig . 

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing , grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham ? If the plural of tooth is teeth , why isn't the plural of booth , beeth ? One goose , 2 geese . So one moose , 2 meese ! ? One index , 2 indices ? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend ? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them , what do you call it ? 

If teachers taught , why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables , what does a humanitarian eat ? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane . In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital ? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship ? Have noses that run and feet that smell ? 

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same , while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites ? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down , in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which , an alarm goes off by going on . 

English was invented by people , not computers , and it reflects the creativity of the human race , which , of course , is not a race at all ! That is why , when the stars are out , they are visible , but when the lights are out, they are invisible . 
Why doesn't " Buick " rhyme with " quick ? 

No wonder the illegals from Mexico don't want to bother learning English .

 Australian Sports Commission looking for Indigenous boxing athletes

Monday, 27 November 2006. Australian Sports Commission, 23 November 2006

The Australian Sports Commission's National Boxing Talent Identification and Development program (NTID) is looking for Indigenous athletes who think have what it takes to make it to the top of the sport of boxing.

Try out sessions for Indigenous athletes will be held across Australia and 30 athletes will be asked to attend a training camp at the AIS in Canberra.

NTID Co-ordinator, Dr Jason Gulbin, said a number of full time AIS training positions will be offered to those who demonstrate exceptional ability.

"Those athletes who attend the camp will continue to be monitored with the possibility of further training opportunities," Dr Gulbin said.

The program is looking for athletes [Ingenious ONLY] aged between 16 and 27 and while amateur boxing experience would be an advantage 

it's not essential.

Started under the Olympic Athlete Program in 1997, the AIS boxing program has consistently developed medal winning athletes, under the experience eye of Coach Bodo Andreass.

At this year's Melbourne Commonwealth Games, AIS scholarship holders won gold in the 75 and 91-kilogram classes and bronze in the 57, 60, 81 and 91+ kilogram classes.

Further information and registration details can be found at the following link: www.ais.org.auftalentfboxing

AUSTRALIAN AMATEUR BOXING IS CREATING PARTITION BETWEEN ALL AUSTRALIAN AMATEUR BOXERS

With the exception of Australia, Amateur boxing Internationally is controlled by one organisation or body. 

Amateur boxers in Far North Queensland are penalised even more because of conflicts and jealousies going back decades that exist between the different boxing organisations and associations.

I spoke to her early this morning and informed her that I would raise this matter. I wonder whether she could move on behalf of all the young amateur boxers in this country who want to be involved in the fine sport of amateur boxing, 

who do not understand the politics and jealousies involved, who might initially become involved with the Amateur Boxing League only to find their opportunity to represent Australia is totally cut off.

I wonder whether the Minister might be able to make some effort on behalf of my constituent, Caine Melbourne, and also on behalf of all those young Australians who would just like the opportunity to represent their country in the future. I know that is quite a task and that many have tried in the past, but the Australian Amateur Boxing Association is very fixed in its views and will not give an opportunity to anyone who belongs to the league. 

 

 

Such jealousy is very stupid. I wonder whether they could work together for the sake of young people in the sport. I hope the Minister might be able to help in some way in this regard.

Mr AMERY (Mount Druitt - Minister for Agriculture) [6.37]: 

I will make sure that the representations made by the honourable member for Albury are passed on to the Minister for Sport and Recreation.

The issue he has raised comes as somewhat of a surprise to me, that jealousies exist between boxing organisations and associations.

Such jealousies have plagued the sport overseas in the professional arena.

A former Minister for Sport, Michael Cleary, brought in legislation to clear up the New South Wales boxing associations.

Debate on that legislation expressed the hope of resolving much of the jealousy and rivalry that unfortunately afflicts boxing at both amateur and professional levels.

I hope that the Minister will be able to negotiate on behalf of the honourable member's constituent.

It is sad that a person's chance to represent Australia and bring home a medal for the sake of our country could be hampered by rivalry or jealousy between boxing organisations.

The honourable member has made an excellent point.

I am sure the Minister will do all she can to assist in this matter.

AUSTRALIAN AMATEUR BOXING IS CREATING PARTITION BETWEEN ALL AUSTRALIAN AMATEUR BOXERS

With the exception of Australia, Amateur boxing Internationally is controlled by one organisation or body. 

Amateur boxers in Far North Queensland are penalised even more because of conflicts and jealousies going back decades that exist between the different boxing organisations and associations.

Mr GLACHAN MP Albury states..

Mr GLACHAN (Albury) [6.33]: I wish to speak on behalf of a young constituent of mine, Mr Caine Melbourne, a promising young amateur boxer who lives in the Albury electorate. Some time ago as a member of the National Boxing League he took part in tournaments sponsored by that league.

But realising that the Amateur Boxing Association was the only: organisation that had the right to select national representatives, he decided he would switch to that Association because he felt he might have had a chance to represent Australia at a future Commonwealth Games or perhaps Olympics.

Being ambitious and fairly well thought of in amateur boxing in the Albury district, he decided that would be the best course for him. However, some time ago Caine, while working at a hotel known as the Ettamogah Pub, was told by his employer there that he was having staged at the hotel a boxing tournament sponsored by that National Boxing League. 

As at that time Caine was a member of that league, he agreed to take part in the tournament, and subsequently he joined the Australian Amateur Boxing Association.

He realised he had a bit of a problem, but to keep faith with his employer - he felt it important that he do that, especially as his employer had gone to a lot of trouble to advertise the tournament and advertise locally that Caine Melbourne would be taking part in it - Caine felt he should keep the promise he made and take part in that tournament.

He did exactly that, but was then told by the Australian Amateur Boxing Association that he was no longer considered to be part of its organisation and would not be allowed to compete in any of its tournaments. This meant that the opportunity for him to represent Australia in the future in international competitions would be cut off.

Caine was very upset about that. His father wrote to the Secretary of the Australian Amateur Boxing Association, Mr Arthur Tunstall, pointing out the circumstances involved, that Caine was a young man who had made a mistake and misjudged the situation, that he realised now that he should never as a member of the Australian Amateur Boxing Association have taken part in an Australian Boxing League tournament, and that he regretted it.

The letter pointed out the circumstances of his obligation to his employer, given the advertising that had been undertaken. His father received a reply saying simply that the board had considered his excuse but felt it really was not relevant, and that Caine would no longer be considered by the Amateur Boxing Association.

 Australian Sports Commission looking for Indigenous boxing athletes

Monday, 27 November 2006. Australian Sports Commission, 23 November 2006

The Australian Sports Commission's National Boxing Talent Identification and Development program (NTID) is looking for Indigenous athletes who think have what it takes to make it to the top of the sport of boxing.

Try out sessions for Indigenous athletes will be held across Australia and 30 athletes will be asked to attend a training camp at the AIS in Canberra.

NTID Co-ordinator, Dr Jason Gulbin, said a number of full time AIS training positions will be offered to those who demonstrate exceptional ability.

"Those athletes who attend the camp will continue to be monitored with the possibility of further training opportunities," Dr Gulbin said.

The program is looking for athletes [Ingenious ONLY] aged between 16 and 27 and while amateur boxing experience would be an advantage 

it's not essential.

Started under the Olympic Athlete Program in 1997, the AIS boxing program has consistently developed medal winning athletes, under the experience eye of Coach Bodo Andreass.

At this year's Melbourne Commonwealth Games, AIS scholarship holders won gold in the 75 and 91-kilogram classes and bronze in the 57, 60, 81 and 91+ kilogram classes.

Further information and registration details can be found at the following link: www.ais.org.auftalentfboxing

For inquiries or to register your interest in this program please call the Australian Sports Commission on (02) 6214 7216

WRITING TO AUTHORITIES: IS IT WORTHWHILE?                                      

Whistleblowers have written many thousands of letters to politicians, government departments, ombudspeople and the like. 

Indeed, some individual whistleblowers have written hundreds of letters on their own. 

Is this a worthwhile method of getting results?

Letters can be about corruption, dangers to the public or whatever the correspondent is concerned about. 

They can also be to protest against attacks on whistleblowers.                                                              

Speaking to a politician face-to-face or by phone often can produce better results than a letter, though even in these cases a follow-up letter is useful.       

                                                                                                                                              But it can be quite difficult to actually get to speak to a politician. 

As well, a letter has the advantage of providing a permanent record. 

If you write a letter to the Prime Minister or some other Minister, it is normally referred to the relevant department. 

It is passed down the bureaucratic hierarchy to some public servant who is assigned the responsibility of drafting a reply. 

The draft is then passed back up the hierarchy, sometimes being modified on the way.  

It is quite unusual for a Minister to actually read a reply, even when his or her name goes at the bottom of the letter, which is not very often for "important" politicians.

What you receive is a response from some public servant.    

I talked to three public servants who gave me candid comments on how the system operates. 

I'll start with the most optimistic account.                                                

Chris is a relatively new public servant who drafts replies to letters written to a leading minister. 

She is told by others to be as bland as possible. 

However, she prefers to be more conscientious. 

As well as finding out the other side of the story to that of the letter-writer, she sometimes will follow up the issue by ringing other departments to ensure that some action is taken.                 

For example, if the matter falls within the jurisdiction of a state government, she will write a note or ring relevant people to make sure they respond, instead of just writing back to the letter-writer to say that the matter is one for the state government.                                                                                                                                                                                She says that a small percentage of public servants go out of their way to help letter-writers, but most give perfunctory responses.    

Chris recommends that letter-writers ask one or two specific questions. 

For example, "Is the minister aware of x? 

What are you going to do about it? 

I'm looking forward to your answer." 

Such direct questions are more difficult to wriggle out of. 

She also says that there is lots of shuffling of letters between departments to find the right place. Therefore, you should find out beforehand exactly who you should write to.                                                                           

Also, send copies to other departments to make sure you are not fobbed off.

Chris also recommends sending copies to opposition ministers.

Thomas has years of experience in a major government department. 

He says that an individual person's complaint is normally ignored or dismissed.

The department can stall by interpreting regulations differently, not responding, delaying through referral to committees, and a host of other methods. 

Public servants are trained in how to respond to protect current policy,in other words how to lie.

In Thomas's view, writing letters will only have an impact if the writer represents a powerful force, such as a large number of people or prestigious figures such as judges, in which case writing may not be required anyway.    

The other time writing can have an impact is when potentially damaging disclosures might be made unless action is taken. 

Such disclosures could be made to the media.

According to Thomas, media coverage is detested by bureaucrats and is the best way to get action.                                             

It is a waste of time for a whistleblower just to write a letter, since the power of the whistleblower comes from publicity. 

Chris notes that when it comes to potentially damaging disclosures, contacting opposition politicians is sometimes effective.   

They want to embarrass the government, at least on some issues, especially through asking questions in parliament. Alan has an even more cynical view of writing letters.

He believes that many letters from whistleblowers, even though sent to different departments, are referred to the same department where they are answered by the same person!

This is quite possible since there are very detailed systems of numbering and tracking of letters. 

Thus, a whistleblower may have the illusion of contacting different authorities when actually being thwarted in the same way over and over. 

Alan would go even further to suggest that writing to the government provides a way for a small group of public servants to keep tabs on whistleblowers. 

The general message from these individuals, as well as others I've talked to, is that writing letters to government is largely a waste of time, though there are a few public servants and politicians who will do what they can for you. 

Far better is to circulate your letter at your workplace or send it to the local newspaper or put it on the Internet. 

Find out the name of the journalist who covers your area of concern and then ring up to talk to them.  With a bit of direct distribution and media coverage, the government will find out about your concerns quickly enough.

It is a waste of time for a whistleblower just to write a letter, since the power of the whistleblower comes from publicity. 

Chris notes that when it comes to potentially damaging disclosures, contacting opposition politicians is sometimes effective.   

They want to embarrass the government, at least on some issues, especially through asking questions in parliament. Alan has an even more cynical view of writing letters.

He believes that many letters from whistleblowers, even though sent to different departments, are referred to the same department where they are answered by the same person!

This is quite possible since there are very detailed systems of numbering and tracking of letters. 

Thus, a whistleblower may have the illusion of contacting different authorities when actually being thwarted in the same way over and over. 

Alan would go even further to suggest that writing to the government provides a way for a small group of public servants to keep tabs on whistleblowers. 

The general message from these individuals, as well as others I've talked to, is that writing letters to government is largely a waste of time, though there are a few public servants and politicians who will do what they can for you. 

Far better is to circulate your letter at your workplace or send it to the local newspaper or put it on the Internet. 

Find out the name of the journalist who covers your area of concern and then ring up to talk to them.  With a bit of direct distribution and media coverage, the government will find out about your concerns quickly enough.

WRITING TO AUTHORITIES: IS IT WORTHWHILE?                                      

Whistleblowers have written many thousands of letters to politicians, government departments, ombudspeople and the like. 

Indeed, some individual whistleblowers have written hundreds of letters on their own. 

Is this a worthwhile method of getting results?

Letters can be about corruption, dangers to the public or whatever the correspondent is concerned about. 

They can also be to protest against attacks on whistleblowers.                                                              

Speaking to a politician face-to-face or by phone often can produce better results than a letter, though even in these cases a follow-up letter is useful.       

                                                                                                                                              But it can be quite difficult to actually get to speak to a politician. 

As well, a letter has the advantage of providing a permanent record. 

If you write a letter to the Prime Minister or some other Minister, it is normally referred to the relevant department. 

It is passed down the bureaucratic hierarchy to some public servant who is assigned the responsibility of drafting a reply. 

The draft is then passed back up the hierarchy, sometimes being modified on the way.  

It is quite unusual for a Minister to actually read a reply, even when his or her name goes at the bottom of the letter, which is not very often for "important" politicians.

What you receive is a response from some public servant.    

I talked to three public servants who gave me candid comments on how the system operates. 

I'll start with the most optimistic account.                                                

Chris is a relatively new public servant who drafts replies to letters written to a leading minister. 

She is told by others to be as bland as possible. 

However, she prefers to be more conscientious. 

As well as finding out the other side of the story to that of the letter-writer, she sometimes will follow up the issue by ringing other departments to ensure that some action is taken.                 

For example, if the matter falls within the jurisdiction of a state government, she will write a note or ring relevant people to make sure they respond, instead of just writing back to the letter-writer to say that the matter is one for the state government.                                                                                                                                                                                She says that a small percentage of public servants go out of their way to help letter-writers, but most give perfunctory responses.    

Chris recommends that letter-writers ask one or two specific questions. 

For example, "Is the minister aware of x? 

What are you going to do about it? 

I'm looking forward to your answer." 

Such direct questions are more difficult to wriggle out of. 

She also says that there is lots of shuffling of letters between departments to find the right place. Therefore, you should find out beforehand exactly who you should write to.                                                                           

Also, send copies to other departments to make sure you are not fobbed off.

Chris also recommends sending copies to opposition ministers.

Thomas has years of experience in a major government department. 

He says that an individual person's complaint is normally ignored or dismissed.

The department can stall by interpreting regulations differently, not responding, delaying through referral to committees, and a host of other methods. 

Public servants are trained in how to respond to protect current policy,in other words how to lie.

In Thomas's view, writing letters will only have an impact if the writer represents a powerful force, such as a large number of people or prestigious figures such as judges, in which case writing may not be required anyway.    

The other time writing can have an impact is when potentially damaging disclosures might be made unless action is taken. 

Such disclosures could be made to the media.

According to Thomas, media coverage is detested by bureaucrats and is the best way to get action.

Far better is to circulate your letter at your workplace or send it to the local newspaper or put it on the Internet. 

Find out the name of the journalist who covers your area of concern and then ring up to talk to them.  With a bit of direct distribution and media coverage, the government will find out about your concerns quickly enough.

WRITING TO AUTHORITIES: IS IT WORTHWHILE?                                      

Whistleblowers have written many thousands of letters to politicians, government departments, ombudspeople and the like. 

Indeed, some individual whistleblowers have written hundreds of letters on their own. 

Is this a worthwhile method of getting results?

Letters can be about corruption, dangers to the public or whatever the correspondent is concerned about. 

They can also be to protest against attacks on whistleblowers.                                                              

Speaking to a politician face-to-face or by phone often can produce better results than a letter, though even in these cases a follow-up letter is useful.       

                                                                                                                                              But it can be quite difficult to actually get to speak to a politician. 

As well, a letter has the advantage of providing a permanent record. 

If you write a letter to the Prime Minister or some other Minister, it is normally referred to the relevant department. 

It is passed down the bureaucratic hierarchy to some public servant who is assigned the responsibility of drafting a reply. 

The draft is then passed back up the hierarchy, sometimes being modified on the way.  

It is quite unusual for a Minister to actually read a reply, even when his or her name goes at the bottom of the letter, which is not very often for "important" politicians.

What you receive is a response from some public servant.    

I talked to three public servants who gave me candid comments on how the system operates. 

I'll start with the most optimistic account.                                                

Chris is a relatively new public servant who drafts replies to letters written to a leading minister. 

She is told by others to be as bland as possible. 

However, she prefers to be more conscientious. 

As well as finding out the other side of the story to that of the letter-writer, she sometimes will follow up the issue by ringing other departments to ensure that some action is taken.                 

For example, if the matter falls within the jurisdiction of a state government, she will write a note or ring relevant people to make sure they respond, instead of just writing back to the letter-writer to say that the matter is one for the state government.                                                                                                                                                                                She says that a small percentage of public servants go out of their way to help letter-writers, but most give perfunctory responses.    

Chris recommends that letter-writers ask one or two specific questions. 

For example, "Is the minister aware of x? 

What are you going to do about it? 

I'm looking forward to your answer." 

Such direct questions are more difficult to wriggle out of. 

She also says that there is lots of shuffling of letters between departments to find the right place. Therefore, you should find out beforehand exactly who you should write to.                                                                           

Also, send copies to other departments to make sure you are not fobbed off.

Chris also recommends sending copies to opposition ministers.

Thomas has years of experience in a major government department. 

He says that an individual person's complaint is normally ignored or dismissed.

The department can stall by interpreting regulations differently, not responding, delaying through referral to committees, and a host of other methods. 

Public servants are trained in how to respond to protect current policy,in other words how to lie.

In Thomas's view, writing letters will only have an impact if the writer represents a powerful force, such as a large number of people or prestigious figures such as judges, in which case writing may not be required anyway.    

The other time writing can have an impact is when potentially damaging disclosures might be made unless action is taken. 

Such disclosures could be made to the media.

According to Thomas, media coverage is detested by bureaucrats and is the best way to get action.                                             

It is a waste of time for a whistleblower just to write a letter, since the power of the whistleblower comes from publicity. 

Chris notes that when it comes to potentially damaging disclosures, contacting opposition politicians is sometimes effective.   

They want to embarrass the government, at least on some issues, especially through asking questions in parliament. Alan has an even more cynical view of writing letters.

He believes that many letters from whistleblowers, even though sent to different departments, are referred to the same department where they are answered by the same person!

This is quite possible since there are very detailed systems of numbering and tracking of letters. 

Thus, a whistleblower may have the illusion of contacting different authorities when actually being thwarted in the same way over and over. 

Alan would go even further to suggest that writing to the government provides a way for a small group of public servants to keep tabs on whistleblowers. 

The general message from these individuals, as well as others I've talked to, is that writing letters to government is largely a waste of time, though there are a few public servants and politicians who will do what they can for you.

He believes that many letters from whistleblowers, even though sent to different departments, are referred to the same department where they are answered by the same person!

This is quite possible since there are very detailed systems of numbering and tracking of letters. 

Thus, a whistleblower may have the illusion of contacting different authorities when actually being thwarted in the same way over and over. 

Alan would go even further to suggest that writing to the government provides a way for a small group of public servants to keep tabs on whistleblowers. 

The general message from these individuals, as well as others I've talked to, is that writing letters to government is largely a waste of time, though there are a few public servants and politicians who will do what they can for you. 

Far better is to circulate your letter at your workplace or send it to the local newspaper or put it on the Internet. 

Find out the name of the journalist who covers your area of concern and then ring up to talk to them.  With a bit of direct distribution and media coverage, the government will find out about your concerns quickly enough.

WRITING TO AUTHORITIES: IS IT WORTHWHILE?                                      

Whistleblowers have written many thousands of letters to politicians, government departments, ombudspeople and the like. 

Indeed, some individual whistleblowers have written hundreds of letters on their own. 

Is this a worthwhile method of getting results?

Letters can be about corruption, dangers to the public or whatever the correspondent is concerned about. 

They can also be to protest against attacks on whistleblowers.                                                              

Speaking to a politician face-to-face or by phone often can produce better results than a letter, though even in these cases a follow-up letter is useful.       

                                                                                                                                              But it can be quite difficult to actually get to speak to a politician. 

As well, a letter has the advantage of providing a permanent record. 

If you write a letter to the Prime Minister or some other Minister, it is normally referred to the relevant department. 

It is passed down the bureaucratic hierarchy to some public servant who is assigned the responsibility of drafting a reply. 

The draft is then passed back up the hierarchy, sometimes being modified on the way.  

It is quite unusual for a Minister to actually read a reply, even when his or her name goes at the bottom of the letter, which is not very often for "important" politicians.

What you receive is a response from some public servant.    

I talked to three public servants who gave me candid comments on how the system operates. 

I'll start with the most optimistic account.                                                

Chris is a relatively new public servant who drafts replies to letters written to a leading minister. 

She is told by others to be as bland as possible. 

However, she prefers to be more conscientious. 

As well as finding out the other side of the story to that of the letter-writer, she sometimes will follow up the issue by ringing other departments to ensure that some action is taken.                 

For example, if the matter falls within the jurisdiction of a state government, she will write a note or ring relevant people to make sure they respond, instead of just writing back to the letter-writer to say that the matter is one for the state government.                                                                                                                                                                                She says that a small percentage of public servants go out of their way to help letter-writers, but most give perfunctory responses.    

Chris recommends that letter-writers ask one or two specific questions. 

For example, "Is the minister aware of x? 

What are you going to do about it? 

I'm looking forward to your answer." 

Such direct questions are more difficult to wriggle out of. 

She also says that there is lots of shuffling of letters between departments to find the right place. Therefore, you should find out beforehand exactly who you should write to.                                                                           

Also, send copies to other departments to make sure you are not fobbed off.

Chris also recommends sending copies to opposition ministers.

Thomas has years of experience in a major government department. 

He says that an individual person's complaint is normally ignored or dismissed.

The department can stall by interpreting regulations differently, not responding, delaying through referral to committees, and a host of other methods. 

Public servants are trained in how to respond to protect current policy,in other words how to lie.

In Thomas's view, writing letters will only have an impact if the writer represents a powerful force, such as a large number of people or prestigious figures such as judges, in which case writing may not be required anyway.    

The other time writing can have an impact is when potentially damaging disclosures might be made unless action is taken. 

Such disclosures could be made to the media.

According to Thomas, media coverage is detested by bureaucrats and is the best way to get action.                                             

It is a waste of time for a whistleblower just to write a letter, since the power of the whistleblower comes from publicity.

WRITING TO AUTHORITIES: IS IT WORTHWHILE?                                      

Whistleblowers have written many thousands of letters to politicians, government departments, ombudspeople and the like. 

Indeed, some individual whistleblowers have written hundreds of letters on their own. 

Is this a worthwhile method of getting results?

Letters can be about corruption, dangers to the public or whatever the correspondent is concerned about. 

They can also be to protest against attacks on whistleblowers.                                                              

Speaking to a politician face-to-face or by phone often can produce better results than a letter, though even in these cases a follow-up letter is useful.       

                                                                                                                                              But it can be quite difficult to actually get to speak to a politician. 

As well, a letter has the advantage of providing a permanent record. 

If you write a letter to the Prime Minister or some other Minister, it is normally referred to the relevant department. 

It is passed down the bureaucratic hierarchy to some public servant who is assigned the responsibility of drafting a reply. 

The draft is then passed back up the hierarchy, sometimes being modified on the way.  

It is quite unusual for a Minister to actually read a reply, even when his or her name goes at the bottom of the letter, which is not very often for "important" politicians.

What you receive is a response from some public servant.    

I talked to three public servants who gave me candid comments on how the system operates. 

I'll start with the most optimistic account.                                                

Chris is a relatively new public servant who drafts replies to letters written to a leading minister. 

She is told by others to be as bland as possible. 

However, she prefers to be more conscientious. 

As well as finding out the other side of the story to that of the letter-writer, she sometimes will follow up the issue by ringing other departments to ensure that some action is taken.                 

For example, if the matter falls within the jurisdiction of a state government, she will write a note or ring relevant people to make sure they respond, instead of just writing back to the letter-writer to say that the matter is one for the state government.                                                                                                                                                                                She says that a small percentage of public servants go out of their way to help letter-writers, but most give perfunctory responses.    

Chris recommends that letter-writers ask one or two specific questions. 

For example, "Is the minister aware of x? 

What are you going to do about it? 

I'm looking forward to your answer." 

Such direct questions are more difficult to wriggle out of. 

She also says that there is lots of shuffling of letters between departments to find the right place. Therefore, you should find out beforehand exactly who you should write to.                                                                           

Also, send copies to other departments to make sure you are not fobbed off.

Chris also recommends sending copies to opposition ministers.

Thomas has years of experience in a major government department. 

He says that an individual person's complaint is normally ignored or dismissed.

The department can stall by interpreting regulations differently, not responding, delaying through referral to committees, and a host of other methods. 

Public servants are trained in how to respond to protect current policy,in other words how to lie.

In Thomas's view, writing letters will only have an impact if the writer represents a powerful force, such as a large number of people or prestigious figures such as judges, in which case writing may not be required anyway.    

The other time writing can have an impact is when potentially damaging disclosures might be made unless action is taken. 

Such disclosures could be made to the media.

According to Thomas, media coverage is detested by bureaucrats and is the best way to get action.                                             

It is a waste of time for a whistleblower just to write a letter, since the power of the whistleblower comes from publicity. 

Chris notes that when it comes to potentially damaging disclosures, contacting opposition politicians is sometimes effective.   

They want to embarrass the government, at least on some issues, especially through asking questions in parliament. Alan has an even more cynical view of writing letters.

He believes that many letters from whistleblowers, even though sent to different departments, are referred to the same department where they are answered by the same person!

This is quite possible since there are very detailed systems of numbering and tracking of letters. 

Thus, a whistleblower may have the illusion of contacting different authorities when actually being thwarted in the same way over and over. 

Alan would go even further to suggest that writing to the government provides a way for a small group of public servants to keep tabs on whistleblowers. 

The general message from these individuals, as well as others I've talked to, is that writing letters to government is largely a waste of time, though there are a few public servants and politicians who will do what they can for you. 

Far better is to circulate your letter at your workplace or send it to the local newspaper or put it on the Internet. 

Find out the name of the journalist who covers your area of concern and then ring up to talk to them.  With a bit of direct distribution and media coverage, the government will find out about your concerns quickly enough.

Dear Premier Anna Bligh MP

I hope with your promise of commitment to ALL Queenslanders
you remember we Queenslanders and the victims of Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul OFFICIALS, not the Catholic Church or any Church or faith. 

Specific OFFICIALS, ceo Peter Maher, Jerry McAuliffe and instructor in bullying Cairns administrator Maree Fell.
That have lied and stolen huge amounts of money and bullied victims to contemplate SUICIDE and had nervous breakdowns. 
We have been sending documents of evidence for years to the appropriate Qld governments departments without any action.
Why are our Human Rights seen as not important to us?

Is it because these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials belong to the Catholic Church and Australia being a Catholic country influences everyone's perception?  

We have asked for help for years from so many and just get no response this is not Australian to us victims. 
Can you, as our new Premier restore our faith in justice to us fellow Queenslanders.

On behalf of the numerous victims of these specific officials we hope you will change and restore our faith

Pitt defends character reference for trafficker                                                                   

James O'Loan   [email-masked] 

MEMBER for Mulgrave Warren Pitt has defended his decision to provide a character reference for a 

convicted drug trafficker who was jailed recently.

Mr Pitt says the written reference he provided to Cairns Supreme Court for amphetamines trafficker 

Jason Wayne Maitland of Edmonton was not a show of support for his actions.

"I provided a reference for Jason so that the court was aware of some of his better qualities," Mr Pitt said.

Maitland, 43, sold $10,300 worth of ecstasy, methamphetamine and LSD to an undercover policeman at his Portsmith work shed from July to December 2004.

Last Friday Justice Stanley Jones sentenced him to three years' jail with eligibility for parole after six months.

Mr Pitt said he had known Maitland and his family "for many years" and acknowledged the trafficker committed serious crimes for which he was now paying.

"I want to be clear - providing a reference should not be construed as condoning the offence." 

He said he had provided hundreds of references for his constituents since becoming the local member 17 years ago.   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warren Pitt... I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group"       

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe if this Minister Pitt recognised the conditional donations given to his community from 

Judith and Jim Tierney and the work they have done for the disadvantaged and mentally ill

in this Ministers community he would not have be so enthusiastic in repeating lies he was told 

from his friends from St Vincent de Paul.

Judith and Jim Tierney had been doing their best in helping kids stay away from drugs and drug barons in Cairns. Through their thousands and thousands of dollars worth of equipment that they conditionally donated to Cairns Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul. 

These highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials closed Vinnies Gym after Judith and Jim Tierney exposed their bullying and stealing.

And their public censororing to the Cairns community of this publicly deceptive Society illegally giving away $130 million dollars  to finanace Ozcare a completely separate entity that returns no money back to the poor in Cairns. 

This money and assetts was donated by generations of Queenslanders for the poor in Cairns not to Ozcare that has never returned any money back to the poor in Cairns.

Prime Minister John Howard received four Statutory declarations from Vinnies Gym Instructors and one from Jim Tierney after the hasty closing of Vinnies Gym STATING not alleging society officials harassed Vinnies gym instructors from the very inception of Vinnies gym to fruadulently alter only Indiginous numbers using Vinnies Gym so the society could be in a situation to apply for government grants. 

Why are Qld Premiers past and present finding this so hard to believe after we informed Prime Ministers, yes present, and past, high court judges, every Australian politician without any response only any of them. 

John Howard was the only honest, decent,  HONOURABLE man in Australia to respond to us after him receiving our four Statutory declarations.

All this information is now on the World Wide Web for the whole world to see, after we received  no help or response from any other elected politician in Australia.

Why is it hard to believe these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials are capable of giving the gargantuan sum of $130 million dollars away illegally.

This being confirmed by barrister Jack Williams a society member to my wife who at the time was a Qld Society State vice president in a four hour tele-conference that she has a copy of the memorandum what more is needed. 

Now back to - Pitt defends character reference for Drug trafficker yet lies about all of us volunteers to back his lying friends in this lay Catholic charity St Vincent de Paul.

Imagine how much money they really have being able to give away illegally $130 million dollars and still function providing VIP lifestyles to its officials. 

Nothing less than criminal as it is seen by the responses we are getting from the World Wide Web since it was put on it and there it will remain till justice is given to their victims.

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Re Ozcare    HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind  
could be referred to us, 
it will enable us to determine whether or not particular lines of enquiry need to be followed through.  
If we are not alerted to any particular issue, then it may be easy to overlook underlying issues that are relevant."                                                                                                                                              
Peter Maher has requested that should you received any information that could be useful in this context 
that you pass it to me for referral to the Solicitors.  
Information should be as detailed as possible, with names, dates and events rather than heresay.  
Any information will be treated with the utmost confidence.
 Your assistance is appreciated.

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COVERING UP FOR THEM ALL. ON THE WWW now.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.

THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Re Ozcare    HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind  
could be referred to us, 
it will enable us to determine whether or not particular lines of enquiry need to be followed through.  
If we are not alerted to any particular issue, then it may be easy to overlook underlying issues that are relevant."                                                                                                                                              
Peter Maher has requested that should you received any information that could be useful in this context 
that you pass it to me for referral to the Solicitors.  
Information should be as detailed as possible, with names, dates and events rather than heresay.  
Any information will be treated with the utmost confidence.
 Your assistance is appreciated.

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COVERING UP FOR THEM ALL. ON THE WWW now.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Re Ozcare    HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind  
could be referred to us, 
it will enable us to determine whether or not particular lines of enquiry need to be followed through.  
If we are not alerted to any particular issue, then it may be easy to overlook underlying issues that are relevant."                                                                                                                                              
Peter Maher has requested that should you received any information that could be useful in this context 
that you pass it to me for referral to the Solicitors.  
Information should be as detailed as possible, with names, dates and events rather than heresay.  
Any information will be treated with the utmost confidence.
 Your assistance is appreciated.
Regards

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COVERING UP FOR THEM ALL. ON THE WWW now.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Re Ozcare    HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind  
could be referred to us, 
it will enable us to determine whether or not particular lines of enquiry need to be followed through.  
If we are not alerted to any particular issue, then it may be easy to overlook underlying issues that are relevant."                                                                                                                                              
Peter Maher has requested that should you received any information that could be useful in this context 
that you pass it to me for referral to the Solicitors.  
Information should be as detailed as possible, with names, dates and events rather than heresay.  
Any information will be treated with the utmost confidence.
 Your assistance is appreciated.
Regards
 
Carolyn

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COVERING UP FOR THEM ALL. ON THE WWW now.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COVERING UP FOR THEM ALL. ON THE WWW now.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

Legal Services Commissioner

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

John Briton

Legal Services Commissioner

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind  
could be referred to us, 
it will enable us to determine whether or not particular lines of enquiry need to be followed through.  
If we are not alerted to any particular issue, then it may be easy to overlook underlying issues that are relevant."                                                                                                                                              
Peter Maher has requested that should you received any information that could be useful in this context 
that you pass it to me for referral to the Solicitors.  
Information should be as detailed as possible, with names, dates and events rather than heresay.  
Any information will be treated with the utmost confidence.
 Your assistance is appreciated.

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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

John Briton

Legal Services Commissioner

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COVERING UP FOR THEM ALL. ON THE WWW now.

The Australian Newspaper 26 May,
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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

Legal Services Commissioner

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

John Briton

Legal Services Commissioner

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

This may be my last appeal to you all as the way I feel now I could easily take my own life so be warned as I have informed all you elected people of the state of mine, and others mental health conditions caused directly by Peter Maher without one of you showing any concern for any of us. As soon as I send this I will put it on the Internet again. 
I really cannot believe you are all so uncaring. 

Obvisously none of you have suffered like us mentally it took Jeff Kennett to suffer himself before he understood what it is like to be ignored by elected individuals that should help and support you but do not.

Re Ozcare    HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear All,

With relation to the Ozcare issue our Solicitors Thynne and Macartney have requested the following:                  
"Collection of 'intelligence' information.  It would be useful if we could obtain any information in relation to the operation of 
Ozcare or details of any suspected inappropriate activities.  If general 'intelligence' information of this kind  
could be referred to us, 
it will enable us to determine whether or not particular lines of enquiry need to be followed through.  
If we are not alerted to any particular issue, then it may be easy to overlook underlying issues that are relevant."                                                                                                                                              
Peter Maher has requested that should you received any information that could be useful in this context 
that you pass it to me for referral to the Solicitors.  
Information should be as detailed as possible, with names, dates and events rather than heresay.  
Any information will be treated with the utmost confidence.
 Your assistance is appreciated.

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. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We understand that this thief St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael McKeown resigned well before his appointed position expired. We also understand from an Ozcare emplyee who simply said "he was caught with HIS in the Trough." 
The reason he ritired vey early.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judith Tierney my carer complained to John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner 
regarding the lies THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul were instucted from this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive ceo Peter Maher, they then sent Maher's instructions to my solicitors. So I have copies of all Qld society ceo Peter Maher lies and they are on the WWW too.

This lie is on paper saying (despite request) I James Victor Tierney had constistently refused to show the society my boxing license. 
Why would anyone refuse to show their boxing license to any one????

When I challenged these clowns THYNNE & MACARTNEY who requested to see my professional boxing license they of couse did not respond but John Briton the Legal Services Commissioner did to my wife -

"Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as a citizen of Australia I demand something be done because of the way my mental health is continually deteriorating from these lies and false accusations and also because my carer now suffers from a nervous breakdown caused by this same dog of a man Peter Maher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawyers often refer to this doctrine as "res ips" or "res ipsa."  
res ipsa loquitur. 

A Latin term meaning "the thing speaks for itself." 
Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine or rule of evidence that creates a presumption 
that a defendant acted negligently simply because a harmful accident occurred. 

The presumption arises only if 
1) the thing that caused the accident was under the defendant's control.
Qld society ceo Peter Maher with hatred and cruelty stated to my wife that I had KING HIT a child. 

My wife asked these conceited dog of a man would he tell Cairns Bishop James Foley the name of this individual who Maher alleged;y told him that I KING HIT a child. 
His arrogant answered to my wife was- "Who's he and what differece would it make,"

This is a Catholic society ceo in charge of millions of dollars of donated money to the poor that he personally uses consistently to defend his lying evil persona.

2) the accident could happen only as a result of a careless act and, 

Society ceo Peter Maher is well above anyone from the working class soiciety. Careless is a nonsense to this extremely powerful intimidator and the behaviour of all Australian politicians prove they are scared to touch this extremely powerful intimidator. 

3) the plaintiff's behaviour did not contribute to the accident. 

Plaintiff's - there are so many victims of this extremely powerful intimidator and beast Maher 
that it in its self proves res ipsa loquitur. 

THYNNE & MACARTNEY solicitors for St Vincent de Paul are ripping off the poor in Cairns as these clowns are getting paid huge fees - all this money is coming from donated money to the POOR IN CAIRNS.
 
THYNNE & MACARTNEY are trying to retrieve the now collective amount owed to the poor in Cairns of $324 million dollars and the Qld Attorney General, Qld police, Qld police minister, and all Qld politicians have been informed of the stealing and say there is no prove well come to Cairns and meet us if you want prove.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHENEVER THE WORD SOCIETY IS USED IT MEANS St Vincent de Paul] THYNNE & MACARTNEY are the Society solicitors they sent this to my solicitor (despite request) implying ceo Peter Maher had asked numerous times to see my boxing license.                This lying ceo Peter Maher also said he had sent me REGISTERED LETTERS BARRING ME FROM VINNIES GYM!!

Legal Services Commissioner

Whilst I appreciate that the perceived failure to explain and clarify various issues has added to the stress and difficulty of your circumstances, on balance I sympathise that the conduct of Thynne & McCartney and their clients, the St Vincent de Paul Society, has caused you and your husband distress and affected your husband's health. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul Qld ceo Peter Maher publicly stated it was a unanimous decision by all members of Qld Society State Council this copy clearly shows he is lying again. 

It was not a unanimous decision and this is about trying to retrieving $130 million +++ given away illegally to Ozcare this Society has been trying to hide this illegal action from generations of Queensland donators that will be appalled at the abuse [custodian behaviour] of their money.

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

This same society ceo  Peter Maher publicly stated Jim Tierney King Hit a child to jeopardize his government Blue Card.  Jim Tierney informed this same society ceo Maher regarding his acceptance of the bullying and persecution of Paid staff and volunteers - one woman contemplated suicide.                   

St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell with  St Vincent de Paul's Jerry McAuliffe knowledge bullied women till they resigned all documented to Qld director of WPH&S and he / she has just ignored these women cry for justice so why are tax payers paying for this useless department.

Why has Jim Tierney not been helped by Phil Smart @disability.qld.gov.au when Peter Maher continually slandered and abuse Jim Tierney with his lies he instructed to THYNNE & MACARTNEY St Vincent de Paul's solicitors?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have informed Qld police minister Judy Spence that asked us to go for advice to Qld police inspector Ian Swan. We went to this Qld police inspector Ian Swan and he informed us that statutory declarations are useless, as anyone can write anything on them. 

When we asked about St Vincent de Paul Cairns administrator Maree Fell in front of witnesses demand that an elderly society volunteer FORGE MAREE'S SIGNATURE on a work document, Qld police inspector Ian Swan stated that is nothing my wife signs MY SIGNATURE to get his money from HIS account.

All this conversation I taped and have sent copies overseas for my safety.

If the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland does not get us justice what real chance have we got?

28 FEBRUARY 2007
Prime Minister of Australian 
John Howard 

Dear John Howard.

Sir, 
I sent to you four statutory declarations - three from three instructors that were then employed by Qld St Vincent de Paul in Vinnies Gym Cairns. I also sent mine after - Qld society officials closed Vinnies Gym because I became a whistle blower.
Mr Prime Minister since then the Qld State Labor Government has totally ignored the harassed and bullied women by the Qld society officials their rights for justice. 
Two years ago these women first informed and have continually informed since then Qld WPH&S department in Brisbane and Cairns with documented evidence and they have just be totally ignored. 
I personally sent by registered mail to the Qld Work Place Health & Safety director 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims.
This Qld department just returned all this evidence to me with no note or message nothing!  
Qld State Premier Mr Peter Beatie has ignored the appeals from these women victims for justice, as did Qld minister for communities 
Mr Warren Pitt.
Qld CPU unit complaints official Mr Smart has informed these women victims Mr Pitt is not responsible for women in his community.   
Yet this same man Mr Pitt had his head in the Cairns Post newspaper stating publicly "DOB WOMEN BASHERS".                              
Yet after me personally delivering to his office the same 50 cm of evidence supporting the many claims of bullying and harassment by the Qld society officials of these women victims he has again ignored them!
I have reported the behaviour of the Qld labor politicians and officials to the Honourable Kerry Shine MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Premier in Western Queensland yet he has also totally ignored the pleas of these women bullied, one of these ladies contemplated suicide and others having official nervous breakdowns and cannot faction normally. 
I have also reported the lack of care for the welfare of women by these males to the Qld Governor. 
I informed on numerous occasions this behaviour to Qld state leader in opposition Mr Seeney again with no response. 
These ladies know you have a mammoth task as the Prime Minister of Australia. 
But because they see you as a courageous man for justice as well as a strong moralistic man, 
Prime minister after them exhausting all the appropriate departments and just being sent around on a Labor political merry-go-round, they ask why is their tax being spent on a department like Qld WPH&S that do not show any concern for women?   
 
And so they have begged me to ask for your expedient help for justice for bullied and harassed women, 
if you do not help bullied and harassed women they know no one else will.                                                     

Yours most sincerely 

Jim Tierney

FW: Emailing: scan0054.jpgThis is for our Queensland's Government Attorney General Kerry Shine who has the control of all Queenslanders justice in his hands. We are asking you SIR, to pass this one of many photos of our clients that we all helped and were all vilified by Mr Smart, Warren Pitt saying we did not do this work with our special clients. 

This is more evidence that Warren Pitt and Mr Smart should have seen us before vilifying us all. 

We would like you to pass to Mr Smart, and Mr Pitt this photo which is of one of two Down's syndrome brothers that I personally helped for years and for confirmation their father is the head of some Cairns Christian group. 

Qld government employee Mr Smart made a life changing decision for all us victims that were once DONATORS and volunteers with this highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul. 

This decision made by Qld government Mr Smart was on a secret conditional response from these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul. 

Mr Smart agreed to this appalling secret response because of his relationship with Mr Pitt and some of the conditions Mr Smart agreed on were James Victor Tierney was not allowed to see their secret response, I could he advised, contact the FOI for a copy of their secret response.

Sir, we are talking about a charity that is supposed to be a Voluntary Organisation and by their constitution and RULE have to be run by volunteers and SEEN to be run by volunteers this is of course so they can get huge tax concessions - our tax.

Yet all you elected people that are supposed to look after us especially US.  

All now know that an evil little man called Society ceo Peter Maher is getting paid a fortune from donated money for Cairns’ poor.

And indeed is spending huge amounts of this money for the poor, every time he has to defend his lying persona.

This creature Peter Maher will not sue any of us victims personally no matter who we tell of his lying habits we are sure a ceo has to follow some decorum, Maher being a bully all his life has picked on me and I despise bullys as everyone should. 

We want him to sue us, he will have to put his hand in his pocket HIS OWN POCKET and not use more of the Cairns poor money, and him suing us is the only way we victims feel is the only way we will get this leader of thieves exposed, as the likes of Qld government employee Mr Smart and Warren Pitt have already covered up for them giving them credit for being dishonest to all in Queensland.

Warren Pitt without consulting any one in Cairns Vinnies Gym doing years of hands on work with individuals that the majority of Cairns community had already rejected. 

As his mates did these highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Society officials of Qld St Vincent de Paul.

Publicly agreed with the reason society ceo Peter Maher and Jerry McAuliffe and 

Instructor in bullying Maree Fell gave to the Cairns community of closing Vinnies Gym which as every individual in the world knows now was lies, as all this is on the Internet and gladly we have had numerous responses from all around the world. 

How can Mr Pitt a specific community’s elected minister get away with vilifying and destroying our names and more importantly our years of work we did in this ministers own community? 

Could you tell us why Sir?

Why was Mr Smart allowed to compact Mr Pitt’s destruction and vilification of our names and community work, we would like to know, as we are all sure you ministers would not accept this undemocratic dictatorship nonsense yourselves so why do we Sir? 

The victims of his highly unethical, arrogant and publicly deceptive Qld Society of St Vincent de Paul.

THYNNE & MACARTNEY Society solicitors are being paid huge fees directly form money donated for the poor in Cairns to retrieve the now collectively figure of $324 million dollars that was given away illegally to finance a completely separate entity Ozcare.

Ozcare returns no money back to the poor in Cairns even though the money donated for the poor in Cairns was used to set this private entity Ozcare.

The Qld Society is run by a corrupt ceo called Peter Maher that instructed THYNNE & MACARTNEY Society solicitors to send a letter of demand to Ozcare without the sanction of the board of directors of the Qld State Council.

The Qld society is using Catholic Church bishops to retrieve this gargantuan figure of

$324 million dollars the same bishops that recently sold a building to Ozcare.

The poor in Cairns have missed out on this gargantuan figure of money donated to them specifically from generations of Queenslander.

The poor in FNQ knew nothing of this corruption till I exposed this to Qld Labor ministers that have covered up this gargantuan figure from communities in Queensland

THE AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER 

26 MAY 2005                             

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 1, 2003. 

 Corporate documents show Ozcare 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.

 We understand from an Ozcare employee that the reason this individual St Vincent de Paul society Queensland president Michael Mckeown resigned early from his appointed position was he was caught with his head in the trough.   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St Vincent de Paul FAR NORTH DIOCESAN PRESIDENT Jerry McAuliffe was the spiteful Christian that Closed Vinnies Gym saying the Society "HAS NO MONEY" to keep Vinnies Gym Going! He closed it because JIM TIERNEY BLEW THE WHISTLE ON HIS AND OTHER SOCIETY OFFICIALS BULLYING AND STEALING

 Sadly from my personal with the Australian media this will not be publisher by you either but I will keep plodding on to help the poor in Cairns.

Alan it was all true.

You may have asked your self quietly why Dolphin and me never went to his funeral. [My wife's position is not to impress you but she was very experienced with maia toa mental conditions] yes plural.

And for years and years Jude who as a director of psychiatric hospitals counselled maia toa's worsening paranoia, both here and when he was in Liverpool as her always rang her for advice 
regarding his psychotic episodes that were getting worse.

This is what killed him! I can give you details verbally if you need them because at times it was so bad there were many times he considered suicide.  

And they were now starting to scare the life out of him with his life style.
He had the characteristic temperament and associated behaviour of a person that exhibited psychotic episodes.

It was also expected of this same person to be subtle, employ clever actions and words to influence a person or group.

Be Safe

In May Commission Chief Executive Diane Sisely addressed a group of employers and business people about bullying and vilification. Here is an edited version of her speech.                                                                              

When we look at the definitions of discrimination, harassment and vilification as described in the Equal Opportunity Act and the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act it is clear that we are talking about behaviour that can be described as bullying. Discrimination, harassment and vilification are all behaviours which belittle, undermine, humiliate and threaten, cause disadvantage and harm. 

According to research conducted by Queensland's Griffith University workplace bullies could be costing Australian industry up to $36 billion a year. And a Queensland Government taskforce has found that complaints are increasing and that bullying affects up to two million Australians each year. 

The taskforce found young people, women, casual or temporary workers, contractors and trainees were most likely to be victimised by workplace bullies.

Most at risk were people in education, health services and public administration.  

While we all might be a bit tired of the rhetoric about being an employer of choice, the reality is that unless employers are seen in this light they will struggle to attract and keep staff.     

The importance of a harassment and discrimination free workplace in attracting and keeping staff was highlighted in a survey of 100 companies last year in the 'Best Employers to Work for in Australia' survey. 

What this survey found was that what set the best companies apart was not massages or free coffee, or stock options, or getting flowers on your birthday. It's not even about money.                                              

It's about feeling safe, well led and excited by what the company does.                                  

Last year VicHealth conducted research into Victorians attitudes towards bullying as part of its 'Together we do better' campaign. It found that Victorians widely recognise the prevalence of bullying behaviours as part of Australian culture, but few agreed that it should be.  The research also highlighted the detrimental impact bullying can have on the bully, the victims and observers.

Bullying has been blamed on corporate restructuring, chronic under funding and an acceptance of harassment as part of the workplace culture. 

Discriminatory attitudes and behaviours, xenophobia, perpetration of negative stereotypes and jealousy, all can and do give rise to bullying and vilification.  Failure in the workplace to accept and act in accordance with one's responsibilities as an individual or as a manager can compound this behaviour.                                                                 

There are a number of challenges I see for business in relation to achieving a workplace free from vilification, discrimination and harassment. 

Firstly leadership -

 We need leadership that recognises that when we are afraid or up against a wall, fear can lead us to fall back on negative, harmful stereotypes. 

We need leadership that helps us get over these fears, that helps us go beyond harmful erroneous stereotypes and leadership that builds that 

understanding and inclusion.                                              

Secondly we must change attitudes.                                  

We've seen it done with the road toll, the quit smoking and skin cancer campaigns. We need to do this in relation to discriminatory attitudes 

and behaviours if we are to prevent bullying, vilification and harassment. 

Thirdly we need to address systemic issues.                               

While the employment of a Vietnamese development officer may be good for her as an individual, it does nothing to address the vilification she faces every day in the workforce, at school, in the shopping centre. 

Finally compliance. 

What mechanisms do you have in place to ensure you comply with the legislation? Who monitors them?  How do you find out if they are satisfactory?Queensland WPH&SAFTEY PLEASE!!! 

Our evidence is that up to 70% of companies do not take proactive measures to prevent discrimination and harassment.

Warren Pitt Qld Communities minister - 

I am aware that the closure of St Vinnie's Gym impacted on a number of disadvantaged groups within the community. 

I have been informed that the gym was established in 2000 with donated equipment, 

and the original target group of the program was young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who could not afford, 

or were not comfortable in a standard commercial gymnasium.

 Since the program's inception in 2000, disadvantaged people from all ages have 

used the facility as individuals, and as part of user paying groups. 

I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, 

impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group. 

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users.

Sister Maryann visited gym today and spoke with Jim Tierney and the Gym instructors regarding

Regarding ONGOING OBESITY ISSUES she is seeing in the children she is working with and 

wishes to work closely with the Vinnies Gym to provide programs for these girls. 

Sister Maryann works through Centrecare Counselling and is confronted 

with obesity and health issues with girls in this local community.

Queensland Society officials CEO Peter Maher Jerry McAuliffe and 

Cairns Administrator Maree Fell have deliberately destroyed Jimmy's Gym projects 

in Australia and around the world. 

 Yes plural these officials here were jealous and put out 

when they found out that Le President General José Ramón Diaz- Torremocha from Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the Gym after hearing of its success. 

 "Jimmy and Judy were asked to let José assist them and for them to take Jimmy's project throughout the world for the Society." 

Then when Jimmy tried to stop their bullying that was all the excuse they needed.

In May Commission Chief Executive Diane Sisely addressed a group of employers and business people about bullying and vilification. Here is an edited version of her speech.                                                                              

When we look at the definitions of discrimination, harassment and vilification as described in the Equal Opportunity Act and the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act it is clear that we are talking about behaviour that can be described as bullying. Discrimination, harassment and vilification are all behaviours which belittle, undermine, humiliate and threaten, cause disadvantage and harm. 

According to research conducted by Queensland's Griffith University workplace bullies could be costing Australian industry up to $36 billion a year. And a Queensland Government taskforce has found that complaints are increasing and that bullying affects up to two million Australians each year. 

The taskforce found young people, women, casual or temporary workers, contractors and trainees were most likely to be victimised by workplace bullies.

Most at risk were people in education, health services and public administration.  

While we all might be a bit tired of the rhetoric about being an employer of choice, the reality is that unless employers are seen in this light they will struggle to attract and keep staff.     

The importance of a harassment and discrimination free workplace in attracting and keeping staff was highlighted in a survey of 100 companies last year in the 'Best Employers to Work for in Australia' survey. 

What this survey found was that what set the best companies apart was not massages or free coffee, or stock options, or getting flowers on your birthday. It's not even about money.

Subject: Why does this not apply to us victims

In May Commission Chief Executive Diane Sisely addressed a group of employers and business people about bullying and vilification. Here is an edited version of her speech.                                                                              

When we look at the definitions of discrimination, harassment and vilification as described in the Equal Opportunity Act and the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act it is clear that we are talking about behaviour that can be described as bullying. Discrimination, harassment and vilification are all behaviours which belittle, undermine, humiliate and threaten, cause disadvantage and harm. 

According to research conducted by Queensland's Griffith University workplace bullies could be costing Australian industry up to $36 billion a year. And a Queensland Government taskforce has found that complaints are increasing and that bullying affects up to two million Australians each year. 

The taskforce found young people, women, casual or temporary workers, contractors and trainees were most likely to be victimised by workplace bullies.

Most at risk were people in education, health services and public administration.  

While we all might be a bit tired of the rhetoric about being an employer of choice, the reality is that unless employers are seen in this light they will struggle to attract and keep staff.     

The importance of a harassment and discrimination free workplace in attracting and keeping staff was highlighted in a survey of 100 companies last year in the 'Best Employers to Work for in Australia' survey. 

What this survey found was that what set the best companies apart was not massages or free coffee, or stock options, or getting flowers on your birthday. It's not even about money.                                              

It's about feeling safe, well led and excited by what the company does.                                  

Last year VicHealth conducted research into Victorians attitudes towards bullying as part of its 'Together we do better' campaign. It found that Victorians widely recognise the prevalence of bullying behaviours as part of Australian culture, but few agreed that it should be.  The research also highlighted the detrimental impact bullying can have on the bully, the victims and observers.

Bullying has been blamed on corporate restructuring, chronic under funding and an acceptance of harassment as part of the workplace culture. 

Discriminatory attitudes and behaviours, xenophobia, perpetration of negative stereotypes and jealousy, all can and do give rise to bullying and vilification.  Failure in the workplace to accept and act in accordance with one's responsibilities as an individual or as a manager can compound this behaviour.                                                                 

There are a number of challenges I see for business in relation to achieving a workplace free from vilification, discrimination and harassment. 

Firstly leadership -

 We need leadership that recognises that when we are afraid or up against a wall, fear can lead us to fall back on negative, harmful stereotypes. 

We need leadership that helps us get over these fears, that helps us go beyond harmful erroneous stereotypes and leadership that builds that 

understanding and inclusion.                                              

Secondly we must change attitudes.                                  

We've seen it done with the road toll, the quit smoking and skin cancer campaigns. We need to do this in relation to discriminatory attitudes 

and behaviours if we are to prevent bullying, vilification and harassment. 

Thirdly we need to address systemic issues.                               

While the employment of a Vietnamese development officer may be good for her as an individual, it does nothing to address the vilification she faces every day in the workforce, at school, in the shopping centre. 

Finally compliance. 

What mechanisms do you have in place to ensure you comply with the legislation? Who monitors them?  How do you find out if they are satisfactory?Queensland WPH&SAFTEY PLEASE!!! 

Our evidence is that up to 70% of companies do not take proactive measures to prevent discrimination and harassment.

Warren Pitt Qld Communities minister - 

I am aware that the closure of St Vinnie's Gym impacted on a number of disadvantaged groups within the community. 

I have been informed that the gym was established in 2000 with donated equipment, 

and the original target group of the program was young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who could not afford, 

or were not comfortable in a standard commercial gymnasium.

 Since the program's inception in 2000, disadvantaged people from all ages have 

used the facility as individuals, and as part of user paying groups. 

I understand that St Vincent De Paul's decision to close the service was based on a review of the service which demonstrated that the gym users had changed considerably, 

impacting on the availability of the gym to the original target group. 

The review indicated that the boxing groups using the gym were the predominant users.

Sister Maryann visited gym today and spoke with Jim Tierney and the Gym instructors regarding

Regarding ONGOING OBESITY ISSUES she is seeing in the children she is working with and 

wishes to work closely with the Vinnies Gym to provide programs for these girls. 

Sister Maryann works through Centrecare Counselling and is confronted 

with obesity and health issues with girls in this local community.

Queensland Society officials CEO Peter Maher Jerry McAuliffe and 

Cairns Administrator Maree Fell have deliberately destroyed Jimmy's Gym projects 

in Australia and around the world. 

 Yes plural these officials here were jealous and put out 

when they found out that Le President General José Ramón Diaz- Torremocha from Spain had recently visited Cairns to see the Gym after hearing of its success. 

 "Jimmy and Judy were asked to let José assist them and for them to take Jimmy's project throughout the world for the Society." 

Then when Jimmy tried to stop their bullying that was all the excuse they needed.  

Jimmy left us with his Liverpool saying. 

"What goes around comes around."

AMATEUR BOXING

Mr GLACHAN (Albury) [6.33]: I wish to speak on behalf of a young constituent of mine, Mr Caine Melbourne, a promising young amateur boxer who lives in the Albury electorate. Some time ago as a member of the National Boxing League he took part in tournaments sponsored by that league. 

But realising that the Amateur Boxing Association was the only organisation that had the right to select national representatives, he decided he would switch to that association because he felt he might have had a chance to represent Australia at a future Commonwealth Games or perhaps Olympic Games. Being ambitious and fairly well thought of in amateur boxing in the Albury district, he decided that would be the best course for him. However, some time ago Caine, while working at a hotel known as the Ettamogah Pub, was told by his employer there that he was having staged at the hotel a boxing tournament sponsored by that National Boxing League.
As at that time Caine was a member of that league, he agreed to take part in the tournament, and subsequently he joined the Australian Amateur Boxing Association. 

He realised he had a bit of a problem, but to keep faith with his employer - he felt it important that he do that, especially as his employer had gone to a lot of trouble to advertise the tournament and advertise locally that Caine Melbourne would be taking part in it - Caine felt he should keep the promise he made and take part in that tournament. 

He did exactly that, but was then told by the Australian Amateur Boxing Association that he was no longer considered to be part of its organisation and would not be allowed to compete in any of its tournaments.

 This meant that the opportunity for him to represent Australia in the future in international competitions would be cut off.
Caine was very upset about that. His father wrote to the Secretary of the Australian Amateur Boxing Association, Mr Arthur Tunstall, pointing out the circumstances involved, that Caine was a young man who had made a mistake and misjudged the situation, that he realised now that he should never as a member of the Australian Amateur Boxing Association have taken part in an Australian Boxing League tournament, and that he regretted it. The letter pointed out the circumstances of his obligation to his employer, given the advertising that had been undertaken. His father received a reply saying simply that the board had considered his excuse but felt it really was not relevant, and that Caine would no longer be considered by the Amateur Boxing Association. Caine's father has attempted to ring the association on a number of occasions but cannot get a hearing. One of the reasons for that could have been, of course, that Arthur Tunstall was overseas and was not available.
But Caine's problem has caused a lot of concern in the Albury area and has been the subject of speculation in the local media about his possibilities of representing Australia and the fact that this avenue is now closed to him. I appeal to the Minister for Sport and Recreation. I spoke to her early this morning and informed her that I would raise this matter. I wonder whether she could move on behalf of all the young amateur boxers in this country who want to be involved in the fine sport of amateur boxing, who do not understand the politics and jealousies involved, who might initially become involved with the Amateur Boxing League only to find their opportunity to represent Australia is totally cut off. I wonder whether the Minister might be able to make some effort on behalf of my constituent, Caine Melbourne, and also on behalf of all those young Australians who would just like the opportunity to represent their country in the future. I know that is quite a task and that many have tried in the past, but the Australian Amateur Boxing Association is very fixed in its views and will not give an opportunity to anyone who belongs to the league. Such jealousy is very stupid. I wonder whether they could work together for the sake of young people in the sport. I hope the Minister might be able to help in some way in this regard.
Mr AMERY (Mount Druitt - Minister for Agriculture) [6.37]: I will make sure that the representations made by the honourable member for Albury are passed on to the Minister for Sport and Recreation. The issue he has raised comes as somewhat of a surprise to me, that jealousies exist between boxing organisations and associations. Such jealousies have plagued the sport overseas in the professional arena. A former Minister for Sport, Michael Cleary, brought in legislation to clear up the New South Wales boxing associations. Debate on that legislation expressed the hope of resolving much of the jealousy and rivalry that unfortunately afflicts boxing at both amateur and professional levels. I hope that the Minister will be able to negotiate on behalf of the honourable member's constituent. It is sad that a person's chance to represent Australia and bring home a medal for the sake of our country could be hampered by rivalry or jealousy between boxing organisations. The honourable member has made an excellent point. I am sure the Minister will do all she can to assist in this matter.
