Dear Valued Supporters,

I would like to thank the additional over 150 new supporters of my petition last week. Please note that my updates are regularly provided to many in Australia Post Headquarters in Melbourne. They are all silent and never respond because the corruption is documented and they cannot dispute that. My updates are also sent to many politicians after they are posted including my Local Federal Member of Parliament the Hon Matt Thistlethwaite MP.

Last week I provided the initial part of my letter to Mr Fahour dated 18 September 2010 with up to 27 points/questions. Today, I will start from points/questions 28 onwards up to number 39 for my supporters to see how Mr Fahour ignored corruption and crimes that were brought to his attention. He failed to engage in speedy resolution to my Identity theft cover ups that are still ongoing.

Mr Fahour and his successor Ms Christine Holgate failed to act on the cover ups initiated by Australia Post officials. This is also the case with Mr Graeme T. John who was the Managing Director of Australia Post before Mr Fahour was appointed. The opportunity to resolve the matter was also given to Mr Rodney Boys who was Acting MD & Group CEO after Ms Holgate abruptly left after failing to resolve this matter. Mr. Boys is the Group Chief Financial Officer and will surely know how much money was spent by Australia Post over the past over sixteen years to cover up corruption and crimes. He also remained silent and failed to respond.

The fraudulent/criminal activities of obtaining Indonesian Passport on my name were identified by Australia Post officials. Australia Post accepting this passport as a Photo ID and allow my entire family’s mail redirection to proceed and also allow the PO Box opening on my name to proceed was unacceptable. They did not care to check with me if I did this mail Redirection and PO Box opening prior to these services were up and running.

Australia Post identified this as a fraud/crime only because there was an envelope addressed to me with a cheque inside that the Postman could not deliver due to wrong house number 38 on it with my name and other address correct. The postman handed it over to his supervisor at Alexandria DF-ADF and the fraud was identified after my son was contacted by Mr Steve Gabell of ADF.

Mr. Gabell then handed over the documents involved in these activities to Mr Don Kane-Investigator who worked at Strawberry Hills office of CSG in Sydney. Mr. Kane’s boss at the time was Mr Alan Barwick. They worked for Australia Post’s Corporate Security Group NSW/ACT. Cover ups immediately started within 48 hours and have never ended. No one contacted me for all these years. It is highly likely that the criminals were identified as there was all the evidence of cheque, envelope, Redirection Application and PO Box Application forms filled with hand as there was no online facility at the time.

Then others joined them to further cover up the truth.

Now please read my next part of the letter to Mr Fahour which is marked NFA (No Further Action) by Mr Geoff Williams who is allegedly part of the cover ups all along since he wrote a baseless letter to me to allegedly protect Mr Fahour and his team of which he was a part.

The first 27 points/questions are in my previous update posted on July 30, 2022.

28. Is the accepting officer whose signature appears on the Application for a Post Office Box or Locked Bag and Mail2Day form for a PO Box at Haymarket, which is dated 28/4/06 worked at Haymarket Post Office (Shop) on 28/4/2006? Is this person a real person or a fictitious identity? This application relates to PO Box K861 and two keys of this PO Box were handed over to the customer on 28/4/2006 by the accepting officer. Was this customer required to sign any other register such as key register at Haymarket Post Office? If so is that signature matching with the one on the application to open a PO Box?

29.The Accepting officer has written INDO for Indonesian Passport. What are the guidelines for the Accepting Officers in this regard by Australia Post? Are they supposed to keep the photocopy of the passport on the records?

30.As this opening of the PO Box is identified as the fraudulent activity, where is the CCTV footage of the person who was handed over the keys of the PO Box K861? Is the CCTV footage of the person or the photograph of the person is in the possession of Australia Post? Who was responsible for obtaining and storing this evidence? Is it the postmaster of Haymarket or is it the CSG NSW or CSG Headquarters? If the footage is available, can I be provided with the copy so that I can lodge a complaint to the appropriate authorities as someone has used Indonesian Passport on my name for these fraudulent activities? If the footage is not available why it is not available?

31.The accepting officer has indicated that the Identification Number of PASSPORT- INDO is MO 15782. In my view this person needs to verify his/her handwriting to confirm if the Passport number is MO 15782 or MO 75782 if this is a real person.

Note: There was no mention to me by anyone that there were Two Indonesian passport numbers involved at any time.

32. The accepting Officer has not filled in Expiry date of the Passport. Was this questioned by the Alexandria DF official Mr. Steve Gabell and was there any effort made to contact the customer to provide his passport again to get the expiry date of the passport? If not why not? If yes what was the expiry date of the passport? What is the exact passport number seen by the Accepting Officer of which he did not write the Expiry date on the form? Writing the expiry date of the passport was the responsibility of the Accepting Officer.

33.The Accepting Officer has indicated that he/she has seen the passport on the name of Vasant Wagh and under Proof of Identity the accepting officer is directed to check that the identification to include name, address and signature. This means that the passport on the name of Vasant Wagh had the address 38 Randolph Street, Rosebery, NSW 2018 written somewhere and also the signature on the application to open a PO box also matched with the signature on the passport that was provided by the customer as a photo ID to the accepting officer. Please obtain the name of this accepting officer and please confirm that you have done so. Has this accepting officer failed in his/her duties in any way? Who at Alexandria DF was responsible for the failures of the staff at the Post offices involved in Mail redirections and the opening of a PO box? Was it Mr. Steve Gabell or someone else? If this accepting officer is a fictitious identity, then who was responsible for creating this fictitious identity?

34. Is it the responsibility or considered as reasonable practice of Australia Post and its CSG to take assistance from the victims of fraud/crime in their investigations to solve it quickly? In my case I strongly believe that due to the envelope addressed to 38 Randolph Street that had my name on it and the cheque that was involved which was inside the envelope and also the possibility of the person/s possibly caught opening the PO Box at Haymarket the crime/fraud was identified very quickly and all those involved were identified almost immediately. To show your integrity please provide me with the full details about who was identified in relation to these criminal/fraudulent activities that involved use of a Indonesian passport on my name. If no one was caught what effort are being made to catch the criminals?

35. Can you please forward me the name of the person who handed over $30 cash  against my Money Order to Australian Postal Corporation that was for a fee for my Freedom of Information application? The money order was cashed at Australia Post’s Strawberry Hills BC/Cashier.

(Note: the transaction receipt of $30.00 cash paid against my money order to the person who cashed it was for the records of the person who took $30.00 cash. It is provided to me as the receipt of my payment when it was the receipt for the person who cashed this money order. Copy of the receipt was provided to you in my earlier correspondence).

36. Can you please provide me with the photocopies of the front and back of this money order for $30.00? (If you already know the name of the person who took $30.00 cash against my money order to Australian Postal Corporation, please provide me with the name of that person). I may have to raise my concerns about the person who took $30.00 cash in this way to you as the Managing Director of Australia Post. As per the requirements of the money order to be cashed in this way the person was required to show his/her identification to the cashier if the amount was over $20.00. As this money order was for $30.00 the name of the person and his/her ID details are expected to be recorded on the back of this money order or somewhere else on Australia Post records. Copy of my Money Order was attached to my earlier correspondence with you.

37.Can you please provide me with the copy of the letter dated 22/8/06 that is claimed to have been sent by CSG NSW to my legal representative at the time Mr. Vincent Pelosi of Pelosi and Associates?

38. Please provide me with the details of the mobile telephone number that was called by Mr. Steve Gabell on 15 June 2006 that was connected. This number is expected to be on the Application to Redirect Mail form, which had my name and 38 Randolph Street, Rosebery, NSW 2018 as address shown on the form. Please provide me with the copy of the telephone bill that relates to the Alexandria Delivery Facility phone number (02) 9207 7913 that relates to all the calls made from this telephone number on 15 June 2006 to show your openness and transparency in this matter. This application is an Application to Redirect Mail that was NOT lodged at Haymarket post office. The same phone number (02) 9207 7913 was used by Mr. Steve Gabell to call my home telephone number many times on 15 June 2006 when he had conversations with my son in relation to this fraudulent mail redirection. My caller ID list shows this telephone number as the number Mr. Steve Gabell used when calling my home number (02) xxxxxxxx.

The provision of the copies of the following documents, in my view, could begin the process of resolution:

39.Will you be providing me with the information and the copies of the following documents?

i.              Front and back of the envelope addressed to 38 Randolph Street that had my name on it. The postman could not deliver this, as there is no 38 number in Randolph Street, Rosebery. He took this envelope back to Alexandria DF and handed it over to Mr. Steve Gabell whose jobs included to look into the mail redirections.

ii.             The cheque inside the envelope and any other documents inside that envelope. The cheque was obviously on my name as Mr. Steve Gabell asked me if I was expecting any money on 15 June 2006. He confirmed on 16 June 2006 once again that there is a cheque involved when I personally met him at Alexandria DF with my two adult sons. Ms. Roslyn of Alexandria DF joined us in a short time at this face-to-face meeting.

iii.            The Mail Redirection Application Form that was NOT lodged at Haymarket Post office (Shop) with my name (Vasant Wagh) as an applicant.

iv.           The Post Office Box or Locked Bag and Mail2Day form that was NOT lodged at Haymarket Post Office (Shop) with my name (Vasant Wagh) as an applicant.

v.            The Mobile Telephone Number that Mr. Steve Gabell of Alexandria DF called that was on the Mail Redirection Application Form, which was in front of him on 15 June 2006 when he called my home telephone number xxxxxxxx and spoke to my son Nilesh, that had my name Vasant Wagh and address shown as 38 Randolph Street, Rosebery, N.S.W. 2018. This form was NOT lodged at Haymarket Post Office (Shop).

vi.           Mail redirection action sheet that related to the above Application to Redirect Mail that was in front of Mr. Steve Gabell when he called the mobile number that was on this form that was connected. (Note: This mail redirection that related to the Application to Redirect Mail that was NOT lodged at Haymarket Post Office (Shop) was immediately cancelled by Mr. Steve Gabell and this decision was conveyed to my son within few minutes after the contact with the person which appears to have conclusively proved that this was a fraudulent mail redirection. This all happened on 15 June 2006).

vii.          The transaction receipt of the Application to Redirect Mail that was NOT lodged at Haymarket Post Office (Shop). The Accepting Officer of Australia Post Facility other than Haymarket Post Office (Shop) must have attached the copy of the transaction receipt at the back of the Application to Redirect Mail as per the guidelines for the accepting officers on this form. This transaction receipt must be attached to the Application to Redirect Mail form that was in front of Mr. Steve Gabell when he called the mobile number on that form. Mr. Steve Gabell said to my son that he was going to ring the number on the Redirection form and “see what they’ve got to say”. This was on 15 June 2006. Following this call, he called back on my home number and said to my son that the mail redirection is cancelled and he will be handing over the matter to the “security”. (Australia Post Corporate Security Group. CSG NSW).

viii.         Documents and records that relate to handing over of the keys of the PO Box at Haymarket Post Office (Shop) that is NOT expected to be K861 as the Mail Redirection and the Opening of PO Box was not done at Haymarket Post Office (Shop) that Mr. Steve Gabell was handling on 14 and 15 June 2006 and all the documents are expected to be handed over to Mr. Don Kane of CSG NSW on 16 June 2006 when he visited Alexandria Delivery facility.

ix.           Field receipt for the handover of all these documents, which is NOT the Field Receipt number 01317. (Note: The Field Receipt (Property) with the Field Receipt Number 01317 relates to the Application for the Redirection of Mail and Application for the opening of PO Box that was lodged at Haymarket Post Office (Shop) and these two documents that appear on the Field receipt Number 01317 have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAIL REDIRECTION AND OPENING OF A PO BOX THAT WAS BEFORE MR. STEVE GABELL ON 14, 15 AND 16 JUNE 2006 that was discussed with us in a face to face meeting with Mr. Steve Gabell and Roslyn of Alexandria Delivery Facility in NSW.

(Mr. Steve Gabell then found out that there was a redirection application from the same address where my name was on the application form. He also then confirmed that this was not the mail redirection done by me).

The following questions and my comments relate to the recently conducted review by Australia Post. This Review is dated 22 June 2010 by Corporate Security Group. I will be using the information and the details provided in this review followed by my comments and questions for your response.

Mr. Paul Burke, Corporate Secretary, has written to me on 29 June 2010 that he is responding to my recent letters to Australia Post on behalf of the Managing Director and Chairman of Australia Post. He has written that he asked Mr. Bob Croxford to review the 2006 investigations into the attempted fraudulent redirection of my mail. Attached to his cover letter was an ATTACHMENT with the following title.

REVIEW OF 2006 INVESTIGATION INTO THE ATTEMPTED FRAUDULENT REDIRECTION OF MAIL. His cover letter has CSG: 10000257 written on it what appears to be some reference number.

Dear Supporters,

The above points were very valid and the questions were reasonable for Mr Fahour or the person authorised by him to answer. This letter was never responded to.

My next update will show you my point-by-point response to the above-mentioned Review into this matter. You will be convinced that Mr. Fahour failed to act. His silence allegedly protected criminals from getting exposed at the expense of ruining the lives of all four people in my family. It also exposed him for failing in his duties for SEVEN long years he was the MD & Group CEO.

Mr. Fahour can not be allowed to just change the job and get away with his unacceptable conduct at all is my view.

Now he is the CEO of Latitude Financial Services. No one appears to have any courage to hold him to account including the successive Prime Ministers, Ministers for Home Affairs, Attorney Generals and the Ministers for Communications. WHY? What part the people in the Parliament House have played in protecting Australia Post?

If $20,000 spent on Cartier watches by Ms Holgate to give as gifts was excessive for many in the Parliament House, why are they silent on all the money spent over a period of sixteen years in this matter to cover up the truth, cover up the crimes and cover up the corruption in Australia Post? Hiding the REAL documents from the victims and then providing them with JP certified falsified documents is another criminal activity of Australia Post officials. Why is everyone protecting them? Who was caught in the act? Was it only one person or the team of people that went to extra-ordinary lengths to obtain passport on my name to commit crimes successfully using Australia Post services? What is the motive?

I thank my 41283 supporters for their unconditional support over the years this fight for justice is ongoing. I can assure my supporters that their support has all the potential to make a change and that will certainly help our country to restore its lost democratic values.

My goal is also to hold all the politicians to account that have allegedly protected Australia Post officials by not raising this matter in the parliament. This matter is unresolved under successive governments. I hope the newly elected Labor government who is talking about the establishment of a strong Federal ICAC will act immediately as many of them know my fight for justice for many years.

Thanks again.
