FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Council Continues Campaign of Harassment and Intimidation Against Occupy Melbourne”

Sometimes life presents a person with a situation that has no time tested script or traditional path to follow. At times a person is presented with a situation requiring them to be their own boss, the creator of their own plan and the person in charge of writing their own script dictating what decisions they will undertake themselves. There are times when among the many that person's most important job isn't to follow this or that person, but to maintain vigilance over oneself within a specific place and what it means to them to be there.

On the 25 October 2011, Julia Gillard along with the head of Woodside addressed the Gala ball at the CHOGM business forum at the Burswood Casino in what is to be the first of a week of CHOGM events and protests.

I should call myself – REFUSENIK – the person refused fair trial and in the most blatant way having my human rights abused by Queensland legal system .

My struggle for justice became the classical case of the fight against the perfidy of the people in the legal system ( Queensland , Australia ) where all elements - police , prosecution , trial judge and the defence lawyers - cooperate to achieve the conviction in the hassle-free way and then the supervisory ( judicial ) bodies rubber stamp their achievement .
