Dear Valued Supporters,

Today, I have the important information to share with you all.  The former Group CEO and Managing Director of Australia Post Mr Ahmed Fahour used Nineteen (19) different Position Numbers of the employees of Australia Post to delegate his authority as the “Principal Officer” for the PID Act 2013 on 5 October 2015. This is the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013. Mr Fahour was the first such Principal Officer. This is because this act came into effect for the first time in 2013 after he took office back in February 2010.

On top of these 19 positions, the people acting under the supervision of the people with these 19 different Position Numbers were also allowed to work on the disclosures from the Whistle-blowers. This means there is no indication as to who could be supervised by these main people with 19 Position Numbers. This also meant that the junior inexperienced people could be selected by more senior people and the junior people could be dictated by the Senior people about what to do about the disclosures. This is a simple explanation about how the whistle-blowers would not know who is actually pulling the strings.

I have all the basic evidence about the lack of transparency, honesty, integrity, openness and the cover ups. The people involved in my matters, with the documented unacceptable conduct, were selected as the “Authorised Officers” to receive information from the Whistle-blowers by Mr Fahour and possibly continued by Ms Christine Holgate after she took over from Mr. Fahour.

My file was closed by allegedly breaching the PID Act without giving me any opportunity to talk directly with the Australia Post officials. This was in breach of the Section 70 of the PID Act is my view. It was suggested to me from the responsible people outside of Australia Post that Section 70 of this Act is applicable in my matters.

In the above image posted today, the following is the part (b) of the delegation. (this was not fitting in the available space for the image). It reads as follows:

(b) pursuant to section 77(1) of the PIDA, delegate my functions and powers under Division 2 of Part 3 of the PIDA (in relation to the investigation and disclosures) to each of (and person acting under the supervision of) the following persons:

The following are those 19 Positions as mentioned above by me.

·         Head of Workplace Relations and Policy (Position Number 730427)

·         Senior Workplace Relations Advisors (Position Numbers 732757, 732753, 738053, 739042 and 600108)

·         Workplace Relations Advisor (Position Numbers 600082 and 733716)

·         General Counsel (Position Number 713170)

·         Manager, Legal (Employment & Safety) (Position Numbers 719177 and 713171)

·         Manager, Legal (Parcel Services) (Position Number 724979)

·         Manager, Legal (Suppliers & Assets) (Position Number 114835)

·         Manager, Legal (Postal Services) (Position Number 725525)

·         Manager, Legal (Corporate) (Position Number712081)

·         General Manager Group Security (Position Number 600117)

·         Manager Physical Security (Position Number 734645)

·         Manager Southern Region (Position Number 734701)

·         Physical Security Advisor (Position Number 734649)

This was followed by Mr Fahour signing this Delegation on 5 October 2015 as the Principal Officer of the Australian Postal Corporation. That signature part is in the image above.

It is highly likely that after Mr Fahour resigned and Ms Holgate took over nothing may have changed. The same and allegedly non transparent, dishonest and unfair whistleblower procedure continued. Please refer to my previous update and see how Mr Evan Henley has allegedly breached the PID Act 2013 while he was the Authorised Officer. He then left Australia Post after responding to my letter to Ms Holgate in her capacity as the Principal Officer of the PID Act for the Australian Postal Corporation. Mr. Henley knew very well that he had no authority to respond but he did not care and Ms Holgate did not care as well.

Despite these delegations may have complied with the PID Act, the problem is the whistleblowers would not know what is happening behind the scenes and who is actually controlling the disclosures and using other junior and inexperienced people to act as the Authorised Officers.  

Please look at how many legally expert people are in the above list. On top of that numerous Senior and the other Workplace Relations Advisors are in the above list as well. In my view most of those Workplace Relations Advisors are also with legal qualifications.

Ordinary Whistleblower will have no capacity to engage a big legal team to protect him or her if the Authorised Officers join hands to wear that person down?

This Australia Post is owned by and operated for us. The Citizens of Australia own Australia Post. Everyone in the country is also the Customer of Australia Post.

The choice for me was to continue writing letters and that process takes enormous amount of time, efforts and money. It also requires lot of patience, perseverance, tenacity, courage and dedication to make a change. Making our country corruption free is very important because the lost trust, lost confidence, lost democratic values, lost trust in the people we elect and then the people they select to run the country is very bad for the whole country and our DEMOCRACY.

This unprecedented fight for justice started from 16 June 2006 when Australia Post officials decided to cover up the TRUTH. They are still not telling us the truth behind my Identity theft cover ups.

The above delegation process allows people with delegated authority to simply run away from the delegation whenever they want. This could also compromise the whistleblowers privacy. The material provided could be leaked by those that are gone and even by those that are still in but not the “Authorised Officer” allocated to the Whistleblower blowing the whistle and so on.

I must come with the example here:

Brief Information: Australia Post has a hotline for the whistleblowers. That number is 1800 799 353. That is managed by PwC. The use of PwC means another layer of Legal Experts and advisors. PwC officials say they have no investigative powers. They gather information and provide it to Australia Post officials. In my case they were not ready to say who are they going to give information at Australia Post. This means the same “Authorised Officers” against whom I have concerns could be handed over the information by PwC.

On top of this the Principal Officer does not care about what is happening. Two have already left jobs despite numerous contacts were made by me to raise my concerns.

Now please look at this example.

Few years ago, I sent several emails with the information to Australia Post Whistleblower email address. I then called the hotline. I had some communications with the PwC official with the name Mr Charlie Tucker. He contacted his counterparts in Australia Post but did not disclose their names to me despite asking for those names. He was told by his Australia Post counterparts that no emails were received. I did not get any rejection that my emails did not go through. They were successfully sent. The email address for the whistleblowers was then cancelled and the emails stopped going through.

Mr Tucker then provided me his own email address given to him by PwC to send those emails. That was too risky as that was not the officials email address of Australia Post. I asked him many questions but he did not respond and the name Ms Rebecca Best was given to me by him for contacting her. She sent an email to me to make disclosures. Before I could start providing any information to her, I asked her series of questions on 8 February 2016.

Despite having numerous other long serving Australia Post officials, also working as Authorised Officers for PID Act, they were not selected. Ms Rebecca Best with just over One year and Two months with Australia Post was named as my contact person when the matter before Australia Post was very serious and unresolved for the previous 10 years.

Ms Rebecca Best did not respond to any of my questions at all. She was working for a law firm Thomson Geer prior to joining Australia Post. After few months of not responding to my questions she left Australia Post and went back to Thomson Geer.

My simple questions to her prior to sending the material were probably impossible for her to answer. This is my view. She took the easy path like Ms Holgate and Mr Fahour and numerous others to just leave her job. This is my view because she could even be secondee meaning temporarily brought in to do specific work.

Please do not allow Australia Post to get away for what they have done to my family and for the documented unacceptable conduct of numerous past and present employees of Australia Post.

If Nobody is above the law then why our politicians are silent? The money power, time, resources, human power and legal might used by Australia Post to destroy our lives is ignored by numerous people in our country by remaining silent.

If $19950 worth of Cartier watches given as gifts by Ms Holgate to her fellow employees was too much and waste of Taxpayers’ money then what should happen about the money spent to cover up corruption and crimes to protect the wrongdoers over a period of over FOURTEEN and a Half years?

Why everyone is silent? What is their benefit? Whom are they protecting? Why there is not even a Parliamentary enquiry?

My petition is now signed and supported by 22,887 people from every corner of Australia. Today’s update is my first-hand experience with dealing with the allegedly morally bankrupt, dishonest, unfair, unjust and unreasonable people of AUSTRALIA POST.

The silence of the Principal Officers is just the proof of their lost values. The resignation of Ms Holgate and Mr Fahour must be investigated because the buck stopped with them. Their failures to address this matter is an all-time NATIONAL DISGRACE and our politicians happy with their resignations is unacceptable because they know that we are fighting for justice and the corruption is identified everywhere inside and also outside of Australia Post.

This fight for justice will NEVER stop. Very soon unacceptable conduct of the elected representatives will also be shared with documented evidence.

Our good country should never ever be allowed to go down the path where people with deep pockets are treated as above the law.

Please help to spread the word and please share this petition and this update with as many others as possible. The number of people that know the truth are many and for all of them to remain silent is unacceptable.

I will name all those “Authorised Officers” that were involved in these matters later.

Irrespective of whether I was allowed to use PID Act 2013 or not there is no indication by any one at any time why this was NOT investigated at all the way it needed to be investigated. This matter is alive and unresolved from SEVEN years prior to PID Act came into effect in 2013. Now it is over 14 and a half years.

Who are the criminals that need to be protected at any cost?

My few letters to the Acting Group CEO and MD Mr Rodney Boys are not responded by him. I will come back with the details soon.

How many of you knew the information that is shared today? Australia Post keeps the names of the Authorised Officers away from the public. They never put them on their websites. This must change and we all should demand that they must be available at all times to stop the people with documented history of wrongdoings getting delegated authorities from the Principal Officer who is also the CEO and MD of Australia Post.

I thank my supporters and future supporters for all their support, encouragement and help and all those that comment on my petition updates.

This matter is of immense Public Interest and the cover ups are unlawful.
