Dear Valued Supporters,
Here is the Bombshell update that must ring alarm bells with everyone in Australia and Australia Post.
No one from the media has taken up my challenge to prove that their story of linking Ms Holgate’s resignation to Cartier watches she gifted to four employees of Australia Post was NOT a FAKE News. Why they did not accept this challenge? Very simple answer is they know about my serious concerns about Australia Post for years. This was from the time Mr Ahmed Fahour was the Group CEO and MD of Australia Post. He also resigned after failing to act on documented corruption and crimes cover in my Identity Theft matters by giving baseless excuses such as Seven years was too long for the CEO to continue.
Why was this baseless? His predecessor Mr Graeme T. John was the MD of Australia Post for over 16 years. Seven years did not even make half of that period. His resignation linked to his $5.6 Million remuneration was another FAKE News.
Today I am sharing my emails to Ms Christine Holgate in her role as the “Principal Officer” of the PID Act 2013 of the Australian Postal Corporation in addition to her position as the Group CEO and MD. PID stands for “Public Interest Disclosure”. This is for the Whistleblowers. Despite my clear directive that these letters were for Ms Christine Holgate only, my confidential letters were responded by the person named Evan. He did not have any courage to even write his full name which is Evan Henley. He did not have courage to write his contact details such as landline phone number, personal email which was evan.henley@auspost.com.au and his mobile number and postal address as well if I wanted to contact him directly. Why? The answer is simple. He is allegedly part of the cover ups and breached many rules applicable to him as the Authorised Officer as well.
This allegedly corrupted whistleblower procedure only reflects on the conduct of the Principal Officers. This act came into effect in 2013, which was few years after Mr Fahour took over in February 2010. Mr Fahour appointed Mr Scott J. Staunton as the Authorised Officer among others despite Mr Staunton was also allegedly part of the cover ups in this matter. Mr. Staunton was previously Deputy General Counsel when he made one flawed FOI Review decision on my matters and then he was made Head of Legal and suddenly this Head of Legal position was changed to General Manager Security & Investigations. Mr Fahour delegated his Authority as the Principal Officer for the PID Act 2013 to Mr Staunton to take information from the Whistleblowers despite his alleged unacceptable conduct was documented. There is a long history of unacceptable conduct of many but Mr Staunton was no ordinary person. His most of the working life has been spent with Australia Post. Mr. Staunton has not responded to any of my letters in any of his positions. I will leave at that for the time being.
It is important to note that this Evan has now allegedly run away from his Australia Post jobs like many others. Who will investigate why he left? He is now with Energy Australia as “Employee & Industrial Relations Lead” after leaving Australia Post in April 2019. He was Senior Workplace Relations Advisor at Australia Post and worked for just under five years with Australia Post.
Now please look at my emails to Ms Holgate as mentioned above. My update image is the letter from Evan. He does not even say who referred my emails to Ms Holgate to him. He does not mention PID Act anywhere in his response.

Dear Ms Holgate,
I expected at least your prompt acknowledgement to my email dated Sunday, December 03, 2017 12:43 PM. No communication from you has been received. Today on 9th December 2017 is the International Anti-Corruption day. Ordinary people like my family are encouraged to expose and report corruption. I have been talking and writhing about corruption for the past over 11 years.
The people of this nation have hardly any faith and trust left in many elected representatives. I have lost trust with many as they do not stand up when they see the highest-level corruption. They engage in alleged wilful blindness especially when the big names are involved in corruption and crimes cover ups is my view.
To show you that many past and present elected representatives know about my family’s fight against the corruption and the fight to get justice I have attached few letters here. Then there are letters from the people around you and in one case my SMS exchange with your Corporate Secretary as well. Her position has changed in a short space of time four times. In one instance it was Corporate Secretary-Office of the Managing Director. This was a position that was never heard of in the past history of Australia Post is my view. As soon as the former MD and Group CEO Mr. Ahmed Fahour left this position appears to have been abolished.
In your latest information about your Executive Team there is no mention of the position Corporate Secretary-Office of the Managing Director even mentioned that was held by Ms Erin Kelly. It was in every respect manipulated position for some reason is my view and that reason could be linked to have an additional layer of cover or protection that Mr Fahour required for some reason before he could be reached without passing through the gatekeepers like Ms Kelly and Mr. Paul Burke who was the Group Executive-Office of the Managing Director is my view.
The person who took his life as mentioned in my email below is Mr Bob Croxford. He was the State Manager in your Melbourne Headquarters of Australia Post Corporate Security Group-CSG. More about Mr Croxford later. Three letters are attached here for you to see first-hand the mention of Mr Croxford’s name. Two are from Mr Paul Burke to me where the name of Mr Bob Croxford is mentioned by him as the contact person. The third one is my letter to Mr Ahmed Fahour that was 42 pages long with my serious concerns about many unresolved matters and my response to the review conducted on the unresolved matters by Mr Croxford. Only the first ad the last page of my 42 pages letter to Mr Ahmed Fahour is attached here.
It is of serious concerns to me that my letter was not even acknowledged and someone, highly likely Mr Geoff Williams-Board and Shareholder Liaison may have written NFA on that letter and filed it without a response. In fact, the person that wrote NFA (No Further Action) on my letter was not authorised to have access to my letter is my view. How the access was allowed and what was Mr Paul Burke’s involvement in that is the question that has never been answered. Ms Erin Kelly was the Head of Board and Shareholder Liaison and in that position, she was the boss of Mr Geoff Williams. Ms Kelly has failed to respond to my numerous letters and so is Mr Paul Burke and many others as well. Mr Geoff Williams in my view deserves to be immediately stood down if he still is in Australia Post.
It was expected that Ms Christine Corbett will take the matters seriously while she was the Acting MD and Group CEO and also Group Chief Customer Officer before you took office and after Mr Fahour left. I will comment on Ms Corbett later as she continues to be the Group Chief Customer Officer. She was the potential candidate to take over from Mr Fahour but she was not ready, as per the reports, to commit for the term of what I believe was five years. I will not be surprised if she quits very soon.
There are numerous others in Australia Post including the General Manager Security and Investigations that need to be investigated is my view. Lot of documentary evidence will be provided to you directly if you give me the method in which my letters and concerns will not be opened by others. This whistleblower contact is very poorly managed is my view but I have no choice than to write to you on this email until you provide me with the safest and most secure method to contact you as the material in my view will be very much sensitive and should never be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. All the names of the people mentioned in this email are the people not suitable to receive or act on the material as they had the chance to come clean before you took office. Numerous others names will also be provided to you after I hear from you.
I am sure if the documentary evidence proves beyond any doubts that the ongoing corruption to cover up crimes and corruption is well and truly alive you will not hesitate to investigate the matter no matter who is involved and no matter who were the criminals that were highly likely identified. The other person that was fully involved and, in my view, left Australia Post when his alleged corrupt conduct was exposed internally is Mr Alan Barwick JP. More about him later. He was the State Manger CSG NSW/ACT at the time and has failed to respond to my letters as well. The other person who worked under him Is Mr Don Kane who was the investigator and could be still with Australia Post.
I hope as you are now the highest-ranking person in Australia Post you will not ignore the alleged corruption and crimes cover ups that are ongoing. Numerous letters and documents are available and the people around you in my view should be kept miles away from you in relation to these matters as they all have played a part in keeping the matters unresolved is going to be my allegation.
I expect your very prompt response to this email and the one below dated Sunday, December 03, 2017.
I hope you have enough courage and will to fight against the corruption starting from Australia Post. There is a wide spread demand for a Federal ICAC. If that type of body was in existence this corruption that is ongoing could have been prevented and possibly the life of Mr Croxford may have been saved. Mr Fahour is not above the law and I hope that you will not allow his failures to resolve this matter continued under your leadership.
My goal is to fight against the highest-level corruption in our country starting from Australia Post.
It is expected that you will give me a voice that has been denied under the leadership of Mr Graeme T. John-former MD of Australia Post and also Mr Ahmed Fahour-former MD and Group CEO of Australia Post for the almost entire over 7 years’ duration he was the MD and CEO of Australia Post.
The Diary Entries with my comments of Constable Peter Buckley are also attached to give you further idea of the corruption.
The fight against the corruption will continue until this matter is resolved.
Thanking you.
Kind regards.

Please Note: This is a Private and Confidential letter to the MD & Group CEO of Australia Post Ms Christine Holgate.
Ms Christine Holgate
MD & Group CEO
Principal Officer PID Act 2013

Australia Post Headquarters
Dear Ms Holgate,
This is to request you to provide me with the names and positions at Australia Post of all the Authorised Officers for the PID Act 2013. It is expected that after taking office you have given fresh delegated authorities to number of people to act as Authorised Officers for the purpose of PID Act 2013.
If some of the Authorised Officers that are given delegated authority by you that are not the employees of Australia Post please provide their names and their current workplace and positions outside Australia Post as well.
Under your new leadership it will be expected that Australia Post becomes more transparent and people given delegated authority by you to act as Authorised Officers are the most honest, moral, ethical and trustworthy people and their names are made publicly available at all times on Australia Post’s website irrespective of whether it is required by this PID Act or not. That is the change I would suggest you to make to show that you are open with the people of this nation-the owners of Australia Post and the people selected by you have nothing to hide. Those not willing to have their names disclosed should not be given such delegation by you is my suggestion.
It is also important for you to realise that there are people in your Executive Team that have also worked on the same or similar positions under the leadership of Mr Ahmed Fahour and if there are some concerns about those people it will be difficult for the whistle-blowers and others to reach you as they could be authorised to open the letters written to you about the concerns about them. It is therefore suggested that you make arrangements that will stop people in your Executive Team with the alleged corrupt conduct prohibited from accessing any information about them without your knowledge. That information could be provided by anyone even outside the PID Act 2013.
There are number of people in Australia Post-past and present allegedly involved in covering up corruption and crimes and have engaged in unacceptable gross misconduct and abuse of power over number of years. Unfortunately, they could be still around you and you may have to highly likely depend on them for the information and running your office. In this situation the PID Act 2013 will fall short of giving total protection and privacy to the whistle-blowers and others as well.
Please also let me know if PwC are still contracted to handle information under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013 by Australia Post. Please also let me know if the calls made to the whistleblower hotline are still taken by people in call centres in New Zealand.
I wish you all the best in your new job at Australia Post and I hope you will be very successful as the money that you get is not much important to you is the view I have formed after reading the news about you. I am the customer of Australia Post from 1985 and it is my goal to help you to eradicate the documented systemic corruption that is ongoing in Australia Post and outside Australia Post.
Your extensive experience in the past is expected to help you to clean up Australia Post is my view.
Please Note: No one else is permitted to respond to this letter except Ms Christine Holgate as this email address is accessible by many others is my view. This email must be given to Ms Holgate immediately by others that have authority to access it first. My privacy must be protected at all times as serious alleged criminal and corrupt activities have taken place and as the Principal Officer of the PID Act Ms Holgate needs to know that I need a voice directly with her for which I am entitled. The authorities outside Australia Post expect me to contact her and that is what I am doing.
Ms Holgate, I have to include the above note as I have come across and identified some of the people given delegation by Mr Fahour as the Authorised Officers for the PID Act as the ones against whom I have serious concerns. The names will be provided to you later. I am not sure if they have been since removed as the Authorised Officers after you took over.
I must also inform you that one of the most senior persons that worked for Australia Post connected with the unresolved matters has taken his own life back in 2010. That death by suicide was hidden from me by number of people in Australia Post and it raises serious questions about their morals and ethics is my view.
I did not write to you immediately after you took office so as to give you some time to settle in the new environment in your Melbourne Headquarters of Australia Post. I hope that you will take utmost care and not allow the people around you to cheat and deceive you no matter how much authentic they may look from the outside. The people that have spent lot of time in and around Mr Fahour are the most to worry about is my suggestion to you.
Some of the people around you could be proven as criminally misbehaving people in the future. They may have formed the view that they are above the law. You know very well that no one should be above the law.
Providing you with documents is not the subject of this letter. It is however important for you to give me access to you directly without the interference by others.
If any other person responds to this letter external authorities will be contacted and other methods to contact Ms Holgate will be used including the use of the elected representatives.
I hope this letter is very promptly responded by you Ms Holgate. I will highly appreciate if you provide me with the fax number that is out of reach of anyone else to contact you. If you come to Sydney, I am ready to see you personally so that we can have face to face meeting with prior sufficient notice as I work away from my home in Sydney.
Thanking you.
Regards.

Dear Supporters,
Ms Holgate never ever responded and the PID Act rules were breached from every angle. This is our Australia Post.
I hope there is nothing more left to convince the people of this nation-the Owners of Australia Post that Ms Holgate’s resignation linked to Cartier watches is the FAKE News of at least the year 2020.
Where is the media? Where are they hiding? Why they are contributing to destroy Democracy in our country?
Where are the Politicians that are paid by the taxpayers? They are nowhere to be seen when it comes to this Australia Post’s corruption and cover ups. When will we get return for our hard-earned dollar from these politicians?
Are they ready to raise this matter in the parliament so that the whole world can now read this?
Why are they contributing to my family’s pain and suffering and psychological torture? What is their benefit? Lots of questions but NO ANSWERS.
Please help because to wake up people in the Parliament House we need to unite as one VOICE and use our People Power to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
Ms Holgate and Mr Fahour’s resignation must be investigated is my view. They may have millions of dollars in the bank but they cannot by trust, integrity and values. These have to be earned.
Mr Rodney Boys acting Group CEO and MD has been contacted by me for starting a resolution process but he has not yet responded to my few letters.
My petition is now signed and supported by 22, 645 people from every corner of Australia. There is no choice left than to expose the people that wear integrity masks while moving in the society. Our country should not be allowed to spoil the way it is spoiling now and at the rate our democracy is derailing now. Please unite to say NO to CORRUPTION.
Thanks again.
