On behalf of Bandit and Family thankyou everyone for a very successful Campaign since September 2018 to assist us raise legal funds and also funds to purchase a dog enclosure for Bandit.
We have the dog run but the Council still refuse to release Bandit.
We raised $4205!!
We were back in QCAT yesterday in the Brisbane CBD for a 90 minute Directions Hearing with the QCAT President Justice Daubney.
The Council came with two Barristers and two Lawyers. Its a joke for ratepayers!!
Unfortunately the matter has now been in QCAT since November 2017 and the Scenic Rim Regional Council have refused access since October 2017.
They continue to breach the Animal Management Act and Animal Protection Act.
The sad thing is that no one really cares....especially the RSPCA.

Mark Townend,CEO QLD is not fit to be in the RSPCA.

I raised access with the QCAT President and they then questioned whether they have jurisdiction to direct the Council to allow us to exercise him. So its not a great situation.
We were referred to QCAT by the District Court.
The matter is being managed in QCAT now by three different Members and the President who is a Supreme Court Justice.
The Council claim he is healthy but supply no photos only 1 page form letters from a vet who says he has to look in from outside.
As a result we will be reactivating and refining our claim in the QLD District Court.
Yesterday the President accepted our Contempt Claim against the Council and others which is based on the fact the Council have continued to mislead QCAT and also release inaccurate information to complete strangers when the matter is on foot in QCAT.
So today we will close this MY CAUSE as we will be looking at some different strategies.
Thankyou so much for your comments, love,concern and action in the form of donations.
We will get him home but its not easy.
Please stay tuned on BANDITS BLOG and also CHANGE.ORG where we have over 19000 supporters.

Love from Bandit and Family
