Firemen face court over indecent assaults, but not doctors and psychologists at HealthQuest, the N.S.W. government medical office which is complicit in these crimes

Sun 14 Mar 2010
By Mulligrubs

Today's rag tells us that several firemen are facing court relating to indecent assaults on a colleague 20 years ago which was part of an 'initiation rite', so it it seems, that was common in N.S.W. fire stations.

How did employees of N.S.W. fire brigades in several locations get away with these crimes against new recruits? How did the cover-up happen?

Sun 21 Feb 2010
By Anonymous

The investigation by the NSW Ombudsman into the Conduct of Canterbury City Council has concluded and the findings in the Final report state Canterbury City Council FAILED.

Errs, contradictions, improper conduct, etc... at the senior management level and helm of Canterbury City Council.

Notice of the investigation was previously released at Sydney IndyMedia and although the headlines to it and the related issues appear in search engines - the careless, incompetent actions and inactions of the Council over the last near 7 years and earlier have been lost/destroyed.
