Article VI The APVO


Article VI.        THE APVO


Section 1.01    State AVOs without “the service and execution of the civil and criminal process and the judgements of the courts of the states” as per Section 109 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act contradicts and is inconsistent with Section 51 (xxiv) of the Commonwealth Constitution Act.


1.                  For anyone including Honourable Magistrates, Honourable Lawyers both defence and prosecution to encourage both victims and defendants to just accept AVO “judgement of the courts of the states” without “the service and execution of the civil and criminal process”that it will empower victims protection and that it will be no admission of guilt of a defendant without fully hearing of the case of all persons involved is a lie and a contradiction. Section 51 states “the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to.” For victims it is disempowering because they are denied the right to trial their own accused, to hear the truth of the matter and is teaching victims to condemn without hearing why they should or shouldn’t put an AVO in place and is putting themselves under the obligation of the judicial system for the duration of the AVO to build a criminal case of an accused even if they have no history of violence towards the victim. .  In cases where the victim holds already holds a position of power and authority over a defendant an AVO doesn’t give the victim the right to abuse their power and authority over an accused person.

2.                  No hearing of all persons involved including the hearing of all witnesses, defendants, victims and written submissions in order to determine whether an AVO is appropriate including, restrictions, the length and severity of sentence or whether the matter would be better dealt with through a community justice centre involved has occurred. Now last time I checked the definition of the Commonwealth means all citizens of that country including both accused persons and leaders and victims. Yet unfortunately even those born here get treated as though we are illegal citizens even if we haven’t done anything wrong for the simple act of uniting to organise political protest to fight for life.

3.                  Section 51(xxiv) of the Commonwealth Constitution Act supports the right of a trial before any judgement of an accused person is made which states “the service and execution throughout the Commonwealth of the civil and criminal process and the judgments of the courts of the States;” AVPOs in most cases the defendant is told there is no admission of guilt if you just accept it without a civil trial via a community justice centre. When its legalised your told again there is no admission of guilt if you just accept it. I was told on the day it would create prejudice if I spoke up about the fundamental fact that this APVO would be putting my human life at risk. It created prejudice as a result of not being permitted to speak up about it at the time.

Section 1.02    The APVO is a double standard


4.                  If Rachel communicates or organises anything with our people that’s considered ok. Yet if I communicate or organise exactly the same thing with our people that’s considered a criminal act even if Rachel is not there in person. She holds a position of power and authority over me in our groups and the APVO abuses that power and authority over me making our rights unequal. That’s great there are no work place restrictions on Socialist Alliance and CAAH acts but what about organising for the Equal Marriage Campaign? What about communication? I have to wear tape over my mouth while I cop constant finger pointing. That doesn’t really give a person a chance to explain or defend themselves except through a court of law or get listened to for a solution. A very good Resistance Book The Failure of Psychiatryhighlightsthat the mental health system is not always the answer in every case. Another Resistance book needs to be written called "The failure of the judicial system" which will also highlight that the judicial system is not always the answer in every case and that community rehabilitation is often better than personal condemnation orders. 

5.                  It is generally agreed for political debate without personal attacks in order to find a solution to an issue is how we resolve situations in our groups when a problem arises. Yet what I found is a court system which supports constant court room battles of accusations and confessions with personal attacks and no political debate to resolve difficult situations. What I found is a court system which supports constant finger pointing, constant personal condemnation orders instead or rehabilitation orders. Good behaviour bonds are a good start but in cases where there is no history of violence but in fact the accused actually has a history of being a victim of violence and there is a problem over communication then is often better to refer the matter to a community justice centre then to go for the easy option of an APVO especially in cases where it involves a common place of work or study or community. Going to a Community Justice Centre is not about negotiating each other’s rights away its about everyone sitting down together to work out a mutually agreed solution to organise that we can all live with. What happened as a result of that not being ordered back at the Burwood Local Court in 2008? I wound up having to fight for dear life for equal Socialist Alliance and CAAH rights through the court system. The Honourable Magistrate Quinn agreed at the Newtown Local Court on 16 December 2008 it is unfair to pursue an APVO without trial of a person first. I had no legal training from comrades. All I had was 12 months of study of Communication, Law and Ethics from University and TAFE.

Section 1.03    The Guilt Fix Method defined in Law & in politics


6.                  This APVO is the guilt fix method in this case which created a false history. As I said on the onset I wouldn’t have had to text if Rachel had just let me come to work.

Section 1.04    Socialist Alliance’s definition


7.                  In our party, Socialist Alliance "the guilt fix method" is defined by the Organisational Principles and Methods of the Democratic Socialist Party by Resistance Books pages 76-77. This is it

8.                  * Yet firstly, by contrast, I want to illustrate how the party doesn't operate. This is what I call the "guilt-fix" method. This is the method where organisations either adopt, or are challenged to adopt, the notion that their members should cleanse themselves from the sins of racism and/or sexism, for example. This cleansing process may take the form of confessionals, or self-criticism.*

9.                  **

10.              *This approach has many parallels with the Stalinist method of "criticism and self-criticism" which is a form of self-confession. Usually the method works by one or more "leaders" taking upon themselves the role of true interpreters of what actions are deemed sins and demanding confessions from those who violate these standards. *

11.              **

12.              *When such an approach is adopted the organisation turns in on itself, pitting member against member in a constant battle of accusation and confession. Moreover, such a method is totally counterproductive to dealing with the question under consideration. What kind of self-confidence can new members achieve if every time they open their mouths they are denounced? What kind of political education can new members receive if doling out guilt is the major activity of the organisation? At the heart of such a method is the notion that the personal salvation of each member is necessary to make the party into the instrument for forging fundamental social change. Instead of educating persons on the material roots of oppression and how it can be eliminated, the "guilt fix" method tries to make people feel guilty about themselves and their past. In the end, this method rests on the liberal assumption that oppression and discrimination are the result of individual prejudices, rather than social institutions.*

13.              **

14.              * The "guilt-fix" method often leads to uncritical acceptance of others' judgment of "sin" and their definition of how to personally take on a burden which is in fact social in origin and nature, e.g. alienation of the social institution. Such a method transforms potential social movements into personal navel-gazing clubs. This method of sin, guilt and confession has been the linchpin of Christianity and has provided a very successful method of ideological control in "Western civilisation". Liberals have simply secularised it.*

15.              **

16.              * Our method is radically different. We try to educate our people to understand the social causes of oppression and the political solution to it. The important thing is not what a comrade thinks or whether their mind is "pure" (which in a society based on oppression and permitted by oppressive ideas is an idealist fantasy), but how they act. Through political education the party seeks to raise the consciousness of its entire people about all forms of social oppression and thus act against all manifestations of such oppression.*

17.              **

18.              * Of course, by such an educative method the party expects its people to become aware of how racism, sexism, etc., manifest themselves in the personal relations between comrades and to try to change obvious racist and sexist practices, for example, in their behaviour and language. We do this by explaining how such practices operate to undermine and destroy the political unity and mutual confidence that a revolutionary party needs if it is to function as a collaborative team.*

19.              41

20.              **

21.              * Moreover, the party is well aware of the burdens and distortions of confidence that members bring into the party through racism, sexism, class experience, etc. So the party takes steps to encourage its members to overcome the effects of such experience on their political activity - to take on tasks which they have been socialised by their oppression to think are not for them. This is through encouragement, education, thinking out ways for each comrade to broaden their experiences etc. We encourage a team effort and seek to counter the individual competitiveness that capitalism fosters.*

22.              In law "the guilt fix method" is defined by the Commonwealth Torture and death Abolition Act 2010, Section 274.2 in this case. I have attached a copy.

23.              The Commonwealth Constitution Act Section 109 states that when a State law is proven to be inconsistent with a Commonwealth Law it must be deemed invalid.

24.              In politics if a law or policy proposed by leaders is made and is proven to be causing injustice of physical, sexual or mental harm to people's civil human and political freedoms then a political grassroots human rights campaign must be organised to repeal/annul/revoke/vary the law as determined by the people, with the people and including the people it concerns.

25.              It is important to note the Section quoted on Rachel's application mentioned in Paragraph nine for the power to stay is a court error, an Irregularity Local Court Act 2007, Section 62 and the Crimes (Domestic and Personal) Violence Act 2007, Section 66 as the incorrect section was quoted and her application can be dismissed on that fact alone. Section 19 applies to APVO applications; Section 16 applies to ADVO applications. Ms Evans and I never had nor wanted a personal sexual relationship with each other, we have a comrade relationship, and not a personal relationship prior to her AVPO mentioned Paragraph three. I note that Ms Maine listened to amend one irregularity. The whole thing needs to be amended because Rachel’s APVO power and authority over me creates a false history.

26.              While it is an injustice political adoptions or religion adoptions etc. of people can't be legally registered with State Births, Deaths and Marriages for all comrades, socialists and other political left tendencies who commonly adopt each other in struggle are not legally recognised as relatives in the cases of brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, parents, grandparents and adopted children etc. the court has legally recognised my attachment to Socialist Alliance in the fact I see Socialist Alliance and CAAH as my replacement family along with many other collectives on the 23 January 2012. However under the Commonwealth Constitution Act Section 7 to 40 does recognise this which is inconsistent with state laws of Births deaths and marriages. 

27.              Section 109 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act would also therefore deem that law in not accepting political adoptions of all people as relatives to be invalid.



Section 1.05    The House Restrictions


28.              The only reason I went to Rachel’s house in the past for poster runs or for advice and because she insisted on storing my stuff at her private residential address. After I lost the Student union job I couldn’t afford to pay the rent so wound up homeless staying in refuges and sometimes sleeping in the activist centres or university campuses or the streets. I didn’t ask for mental health or welfare or legal help just political, organisational and human solidarity help to guide me into the party and through the revolutionary struggle. She was the one who volunteered and she was the one who insisted on storing my property at her house until the fight was won for a house, stable income and counselling because I was homeless. I told her I didn’t want her welfare handouts because I knew that it be might use it against me for going to get what I needed from my own property simply because I was homeless. It wasn’t my fault I was homeless it was Rachel’s choice to store my stuff until the fight for a house was won. The fight for a house was won on the 24 December 2007 I let Rachel know but by then she had gone away on holidays. I don’t like entering other people houses when they’re not there so they can’t blame me if anything goes missing and as soon as Rachel returned from Bolivia I went to ask when would be a suitable time for her so I can organise to pick up my stuff but she yelled at me. So I had to wait for her to contact me. I tried to address a lot of things with her but she just yelled at me and wouldn’t just listen. Where she yelled at me again to come and pick up my stuff from her house. I don’t have a car or money so I had to ask whoever could help and it was Luke Weyland.

29.              I could have gone during the stay period but I didn’t and instead went straight to our place of work to resolve this so we can all get back to work. I could have gone to her house during the 14 months there was no legal restriction on her house yet I didn’t I went straight to work to resolve it. Ihave my own house I have no need to go to her house nor have I been convicted of going to her house. So is the point of Rachel having AVO power and authority over protecting a house I’m never going to go to unless I’m invited for a political purpose? Unless it’s for a political purpose to help people fight for life I don’t do personal social visits, I don’t enjoy going to nightclubs and pubs or playing sport like normal queers do. I visit refugees in detention centres for the political purpose of helping them fight for their freedom. I like politics in the pub because it’s political discussion. There was a time where I did all that stuff, but I don’t enjoy going to those places unless it’s with comrades or CAAH people. I won’t even go to the movies or see a band unless I know that at least one comrade is going to be there unless it’s got a revolutionary political social justice content. I only read books of a revolutionary political nature. I don’t like wearing normal clothes. Most of the time I live on 2 minute noodles because of the amount of legal costs and loans I have to pay back as a result of the APVO through court system. It wasn’t until it went to the downing centre where I got a fee waiver for lodging of appeals and not having to pay for transcripts. Instead of being permitted to just ask witnesses to come with a leaflet I have to pay for a sheriff to deliver a subpoena. It cost about $500 every time I was required to come to court.    

30.              The second reason I went to her house was because she used to invite people like myself to feed because she knew I couldn’t afford to buy food, she would always cook extra and bring it to work because she knew I’d work long hours in organising or writing new politics for the people and not always have the time or the money to eat. The student union got shut down by VSU that meant one in eight students going hungry like myself because there was no free barbeques and no can afford to buy UWS Connect Food regularly it is that high priced which is that low in quality it tastes like they scooped it out of the toilet and then heated it up where students get sick from eating it. I didn’t want to accept welfare from her but she insisted because eating and sleeping is considered very important in activism. Street Level, Parramatta Mission and Occupy provide me food because they know three quarters of my pension has been taken from the legal costs of maintaining the arvo. The third reason Rachel invited me to go to her house was because her house was used as a pit stop for queers to make the glue out of corn flour to put political posters up for the equal marriage campaign or any other political campaigns in the city on weekends.  We called them cum runs because you would always end up with corn flour all over your pants when you were done, that looked like cum. Rachel gave it that name because she has a dirty mind who can’t keep her mind out of the gutter since the day I met her like a number of other heterosexuals have about two lesbians working together and focus on organising the political campaign so people don’t have to die as a result of leaders inhuman laws the majority never got a say in.  The last time I went to Rachel’s house was 1September 2008 the night of the APVO to talk to Blake who was also a good queer activist friend of mine to see if he could snap Rachel out of it to just let our people hear the appeal that would stop the order if they knew the truth to make a common sense decision instead of based on her “belief”. A bit of trust it’s been four years and enough is enough. If I had any intensions of going to Rachel’s house I would have occupied it by now. I would have gone to Rachel’s house during the stay period. A little trust I only ever went there because I didn’t have a house; I lived on the streets and in refuges. It was Rachel’s choice to store my stuff until the fight for a house was won, not mine. A phone, a banner of freedom and a red bag with my birth, work, and education right documents is still missing. There is no need for a legal order on Rachel’s house when it’s already been proven for over four years due to having my own house since November 2007 there has been no need for me to go to Rachel’s house unless I am invited just the same and equally as anyone else.

Section 1.06    Communication restrictions are the Alienation of the capacity to communicate


31.              Ernest Mandel stated: “I now come to the ultimate and most tragic form of alienation, which is alienation of the capacity to communicate. The capacity to communicate has become the most fundamental attribute of man, of his quality as a human being. Without communication, there can be no organised society because without communication, there is no language, and without language, there is no intelligence. Capitalist society, class society, commodity-producing society tends to thwart, divert and partially destroy this basic human capacity.

32.             Let me give three examples of this process at three different levels, starting with a most commonplace case. How do people learn to communicate? While they are infants they go through what psychologists call a process of socialisation and learn to speak. For a long time one of the main methods of socialising young children has been through playing with dolls. When children play with dolls, they duplicate themselves, project themselves outside their own individuality, and carry on a dialogue with that other self. They speak two languages, their own language and the language of the doll, thereby bringing into play an artificial process of communication which, through its spontaneous nature, facilitates the development of language and intelligence.

33.              Industry started to produce dolls which speak. This is supposed to be a mark of progress. But once the doll speaks, the dialogue is limited. The child no longer speaks in two languages, or with the same spontaneity. Part of its speech is induced, and induced by some capitalist corporation.

34.             That corporation may have hired the biggest educators and psychologists who make the doll speak more perfectly than any of the babble which could come out of the child’s mind itself – although I have some doubts on that subject. Nevertheless, the spontaneous nature of the dialogue is partially thwarted, suppressed or detoured. There is less development of dialogue, of capacity for communication, and therefore a lesser formation of intelligence than in more backward times when dolls did not speak and children had to give them a language of their own.

35.              A second example is taken from a more sophisticated level. Any class society which is divided by social-material interests and in which class struggle goes on suppresses to a certain extent the capacity for communication between people standing on different sides of the barricades. This is not a matter of lack of intelligence, of understanding or honesty, from any individual point of view. This is simply the effect of the inhibitive pressures that substantial divisive material interests exercise on any group of individuals.

36.             Anybody who has ever been present at wage bargaining where there is severe tension between workers’ and employers’ representatives – I’m talking about real wage bargaining, not sham wage bargaining – will understand what I am referring to. The employers’ side simply cannot sympathise with or understand what the workers are talking about even if they have the utmost good will and liberal opinions; because their material-social interests prevent them from understanding what the other side is most concerned with.

37.              There was a very striking example of this inhibition on another level (because workers and not employers were involved) in the tragic strike of the United Federation of Teachers in New York in 1968 against the decentralisation of control over the school system. People of bad will, fools or stupid people were not so much involved. Indeed, most of them would have been called liberal or even left some time ago. But through very strong pressures of social interest and social milieu, they were simply incapable of understanding what the other side, the Black and Puerto Rican masses who wanted community control over the education of their children, was talking about.

38.             Thus the Marxist notion of alienation extends far beyond the oppressed classes of society, properly speaking. The oppressors are also alienated from part of their human capacity through their inability to communicate on a human basis with the majority of society. And this divorcement is inevitable as long as class society and its deep differentiations exist.

39.              The only reason I texted in the past was because Rachel wouldn’t let me come to work and gave me a gag order that I’ve been under for 34 years based on her misguided belief I wasn’t ready. You determine whether someone is ready or not by giving them a go. It doesn’t matter what one thinks, feels or whether one’s mind is pure what is important is how people act together. Putting place and communication restrictions on every single human, political, organisational, civil, legal rights and existence to make one an illegal human with one’s own people is too extreme. A no texting restriction is the only restriction that should have occurred that was considered the problem in the first place. Restrictions should have been put on every other form of every single human legal right of work place organisational, political and communication and human interaction withour people between Ms Evans and me. Especially if their leader with a position of power and authority over a person. Rachel Evans holds a position of power and authority over me in our political party and our political groups. The judicial system essentially legalised her right to abuse that power and authority over me making my human existence illegal. Where on a daily 24/7 basis the right to education, work, to unite with the majority within our people and outside of our people, to organise, communicate politics, all human solidarity with all human people yet specifically all lgbti people and socialists of our replacement family, the right to sleep, eat, going to the toilet, legal, political, human, civil, organisational AID, the right to protest, the right to be trailed by the majority of one’s own people including the right to lodge an appeal illegal. The right to receive political rehabilitation orders with one’s own people instead of personal condemnation orders with complete non-interference of the state, the birth right of my name to be legally accepted by others without being condemned, the right to stop bastardisation, the right for no means no to be accepted to acts of homosexual assault, the right of revolutionary advances not being discredited as personal sexual, stalking, obsession, harassment, intimidation advances. The right to receive political education without leader’s majority activity doling out guilt on a person who is already lacking self-confidence. The right to receive self confidence in the form of political social inclusion and encouragement without every time one says or does anything it being personally condemned by those leaders who misjudge you causesthem don’t know you. The right to give each other a fair and equal go. The right to mutual respect without each other’s human rights being violated. The right of both leaders and accused persons to be accountable to the people to both have the equal right to explain their actions in order for the best possible solution to problems for everyone and not just one or the other. When you accuse a person you are not just putting them on trial but you are also putting yourself on trial to essentially put everyone on trial. Now that I am finally permitted to exercise the right to communicate this case for this appeal to be heard as to why annulment of the order should occur after four years of fighting for it I will not reframe from what I am going to say but there will be no personal condemnation prejudicial attacks unlike what I have received.

40.              The cross claim for at the Downing Centre Local Court mentioned in RLEA paragraph one was applied for in a face to face meeting with the Duty Registrar, a neutral witness as well as myself that was carefully considered and it wasn't rushed into and I had a reluctance to do as this was one of my comrades as well as someone lgbti and our allied comrades all look up to because of her political knowledge of the struggle for rainbow liberation. It had been agreed as a last resort if this was going to go on for another two years with the consent of the community and Ms Evans was informed of this in person when she came back from Mexico in 2009, if she didn't stop abusing me, listen, let our people give us a go as well as letting them hear the truth to resolve this situation.

41.              The Duty Registrars of all courts now also do face to face meetings with all applicants before lodging any application for AVOs including cross claims. They do this using the set criteria with a thorough investigation of both sides before lodging any application to ensure there are no frivolous, vexatious or an abuse of the court system claims as had happened in other cases since the AVO system first began long before Ms Evans and myself both set foot into a courtroom. Throughout the course of the struggle since Nov 2007 everyone was given strict instructions to be humane in the struggle, no condemnation as I was already receiving enough of this for everyone, maintain an amnesty position, political, legal debate but no personal attacks to address the issue of violence and prejudice that resulted from AVO leaders power and authority over me. The Duty Registrar with my application also took into consideration the political groups, people we see as relatives such as comrades, our places of work, study both comrade Rachel Evans and I are attached to. It was made very clear, to not attack our party Socialist Alliance, Resistance, Green Left or any of our political groups such as Community Action against Homophobia.

42.              This cross clam mentioned in paragraph five removes place and communication restrictions while minimising the use of the guilt fix method from AVOs as an AVO by itself for people who care about human life is already punishment enough. This allowing people the political freedom to unite with the majority of people to continue to do the work that they do to focus people politically outwards to focus on our true common enemy rather than personally inwards to pit people against each other while being trailed and tested within the community while giving victims protection from prejudicial violence and hate while resolving any workplace issues and allowing for any rehabilitation, rather than constant punishment. There were lengthy discussions about this as well as extensive research done. This cross claim really was the last resort to address the issue of personal violence and prejudicial hate I had experienced as a result of the truth being prevented from being heard in the first place and Rachel didn't want to do mediation. Except for one mediation session in November 2007 that we organised ourselves, that would have been better done at the Resistance Centre as well as CAAH instead of Mr Bainbridge’s house with Ms Evans and myself, no mediation session has ever been court ordered or been permitted to organise ourselves due to the place and communication restrictions by AVO. A lot has happened since November 2007. I never thought Rachel would finally give us a chance to tell what happened from start to finish in response.

Section 1.07    No court ordered to a community justice centre of the persons involved choosing to work out a better solution as an alternative to the APVO has occurred.


I have raisedthis number of times as a solution before any order was implemented. We are eligible. There has been no history of physical violence from me towards Rachel Evans as you will read in our history. Rachel even agreed at the Newtown Local Court on the 18 December 2010 “She didn’t hit me over the head or anything like that.” I have attached the transcript.



There has been no conduct by myself amounting to a personal violence offence towards Rachel Evans as you will read in our history together. Three alleged convictions of a breach of communication restrictions when one reads the content of the alleged messages is not proof any personal violence offence has occurred from myself towards Rachel. While there has been conduct from both Rachel, third persons and the police who carried out this APVO on me that amounts to breaches of sections 19A, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 33A, 35, 35A, 37, 38, 39, 41, 44, 46, 47, 48, 49, 58, 59, 61, 61B, 61C, 61D, 61E, 61I, 61J, 61JA, 61K, 61L, 61M, 61N, 61O, 65A, 66A, 66B, 66C, 66D, 66EA, 80A, 80D, 86, 87, 93G, 93GA, 195, 196, 198, 199, 200, 562I (as in force before its substitution by the Crimes Amendment (Apprehended Violence) Act 2006 ) or 562ZG of the Crimes Act 1900. I have attached copies of the alleged messages which are political and calls for help to fight for life in nature that are commonly sent out by everyone in activism. I am happy to show the court similar text messages I have received from others in activism in order to show it is common practice.  



Except for civil disobedience and direct action to rebel the order in safe legal ways under incredibly difficult conditions. There has been no conduct by myself of a breach of Section 13 of the Act towards Rachel Evans. Hearsay or I feel or might or I think or I’m scared is not proof of obsession, stalking or unwanted sexual advance. I’m scared too but instead of sticking my head in the sand even though I’m scared of what personal condemnation I might receive today as a result of the APVO, I go in there and fight for equal Socialist Alliance and CAAH rights and clean up hers and Alex’s mess with a strategy of political rehabilitation and not personal condemnation.



There has been no conduct of harassment relating to the protected person’s race, religion, homosexuality, transgender status, HIV/AIDS infection or disability from myself. While there has been conduct by both the police and Rachel’s power and authority over me by APVO of harassment relating to both Rachel’s and my homosexuality being used as a weapon to justify a violence case on me since November 2007. While there has been bastardisation harassment by both police and Rachel Evans power and authority over me by APVO relating to my white stolen generation human rights to my replacement family being comrades and CAAH people since November 2007 being used as a weapon to justify a violence case on me. While there has been conduct by both the police and Rachel’s power and authority over me by APVO to justify red baiting our Socialist Alliance religion and CAAH religion every time I go to my church and when I’m in police custody. There are others but in a nutshell if no APVO existed if the truth had been permitted to be heard our human rights wouldn’t be inhumanely violated.



The matter has never been referred to mediation by any court where it should have gone to in the first place to work out a better solution as an alternative to the APVO. A meeting we had in November 2007, a lot has happened since then considering the length. I have applied to Community Justice Centre a number of times but all they did was write letters that never got heard. They never used a strategy of civil disobedience and direct action. Mediation is not about negotiation. It’s about everyone sitting down together at a round table, hearing what each other’s got to say, political debate without personal attack that us comrades are more comfortable with and finding a solution we can all agree on and live with to work towards together in a safe open environment. People involved can bring anyone they like to help and it’s an alternative to APVOs.  I don’t want to go to a mediation meeting but if it’s going to help resolve the situation then I’ll do it. Rachel had used her power and authority over me carrying out the APVO so much so to the letter that except for intervention of the court she blocked every single communication means in the entire known universe with our comrades and CAAH people to address why this APVO has been a problem, including the solution we can all live with and she would often use third parties to do it. Many times she would approach me throughout the course of this struggle. It is that overboard that I have virtually been made an illegal human to the point where even going to the toilet or eating is considered a criminal offence. The lifting of some of the restrictions has provided some relief but not much. Since 2010 to expose the gag order inspired by Wikileaks I started wearing tape over my mouth at every rally and every Socialist Alliance, Resistance, Green Left Weekly and CAAH event in order to demonstrate that gag order since November 2007. It links in well with every campaign because every human rights struggle all usually say our voice is gagged while ever they keep making decisions about our lives without our consent which continue to put our lives at risk which is why we’re protesting in order for our voices to be heard to win a better and just world so were no longer prisoners of this system.   



I have already served a sentence of 4 years and 4 months since November 2007. In the judicial system since 29 August 2008 where there is no political rehabilitation just personal condemnation punishment and torture even if you didn’t do anything wrong for fighting for equal socialist alliance and equal CAAH rights for life 3 years 7 months because I can’t ask for my freedom from this prison I have to fight for it.  Except for three alleged communication convictions that simply because a person writes it with mobile phones unless you see the person send the messages anyone can pick up a mobile phone and send someone else’s message because mobile phones don’t have passwords to access them unlike email accounts do in terms of time served it’s already been 4 years. Rachel’s APVO application and my appeal from 29 August 2008 until 27 July 2010 except for court there has been no breach of both communication and place restrictions from me specifically and directly with Rachel Evans. That is 23 months. If I didn’t go through court and lodged an appeal to revoke it and to let the court and our comrades and CAAH people know that my human rights are being violated as a result of the APVO by use of Rachel Evans power and authority over me I faced arrest. If I went to court I faced personal condemnation while the truth is denied from being heard.  The only alleged charges were of communication with Rachel which obtained convictions were text messages of which there were only three convictions and the magistrate said they were at the lowest end of the scale and if you read the content there is no violation of any of the sections of the act. All other charges were dropped or didn’t even make it to court that was clearly abuse by both the police and Rachel’s APVO power and authority over me of the APVO system. The three convictions took place 27 July 2010 to 12 October 2010. From that time until present except for court charges in which if I didn’t attend court I faced arrest. That is a further 18 months sentence already served. 23 months plus 18 months is 43 months. Now if you add in December 2007 until the beginning of March 08 in which Rachel told me I could finally speak with her about resolving this situation and then she reneged it when began to tell her what happened and that our people needed to hear an appeal. That is another 3 months which makes 46 months sentence already served. Then add in from March 08 until April 08 where I made no communication with her as per her request that is another two months. That makes 48 months of what was only supposed to be for two months from Rachel. Then told another 6 weeks from Rachel. Then told another two years. Now told another two years where I can now legally go to work, but don’t dare I help organise anything with our CAAH people as part of the equal marriage campaign and don’t dare I speak while our people continue to be denied the right to trial me through our normal political party and CAAH trial processes. While our people continue to be denied the right to hear the truth in order to call it amnesty.



Prior to the APVO I never had a criminal history. If a leader asked me to leave a group I belonged to because they found out I was a homosexual, a white stolen generation born from adultery, a revolutionary, born from poverty or cause they wanted to lobby because they didn’t support campaigning. I just went to escape the injustice I received because I was told to by a few leaders even though the majority disagreed. When I found that party there was no more places left to run too. I had to face it and defeat it otherwise I would be running for the rest of my life for what wasn’t my fault that I have been made to pay the price for 34 years where I’m made to be sorry and apologise for doing something about stopping it for our people and myself. Nobody ever shows me and active apology for misjudging me or treating me like garbage even though I don’t treat others like garbage and I’m always the one who has to clean up the mess that leaders make. Even though I might not like what a person is doing I still treat them like a human being.

CRIMES (DOMESTIC AND PERSONAL VIOLENCE) ACT 2007 - SECT 21

Referral of matters to mediation

21 Referral of matters to mediation

At any time when considering whether to make an apprehended personal violence order or after making such an order, a court may refer the protected person and the defendant for mediation under the CommunityJustice Centres Act 1983.

A matter is not to be referred to mediation under this section if the court is of the opinion that:

There has been a history of physical violence to the protected person by the defendant, or

Theprotected person has been subjected to conduct by the defendant amounting to a personal violence offence, or

Theprotected person has been subjected to conduct by the defendant amounting to an offence under section 13, or

Thedefendant has engaged in conduct amounting to harassment relating to the protected person’s race, religion, homosexuality, transgender status, HIV/AIDS infection or disability, or

There has been a previous attempt at mediation in relation to the same matter and the attempt was not successful.

Nothing in this section affects section 24 of the Community Justice Centres Act1983.

Note: Section 24 of the Community Justice Centres Act1983enables the Director of Community Justice Centres to decline to consent to the acceptance of a dispute for mediation and enables the Director or a mediator to terminate a mediation session at any time.

(4) The Director of Community Justice Centres is to provide a written report on the outcome of the mediation or attempted mediation to the court that referred the matter for mediation.

(5) On receiving a report under subsection (4), the court is to take such action in accordance with this Act as it considers appropriate in relation to the matter concerned and in doing so may take into account the contents of the report.

(6) If a matter is referred to mediation under this section without an order having been made, any proceedings in relation to the application are taken to have been stayed until a report is provided under subsection (4).

(7) If the Director of Community Justice Centres provides a report under subsection (4) or a mediator conducts a mediation of a matter referred under this section, the Director or the mediator is taken, for the purposes of the provisions of the Community Justice Centres Act1983, to be exercising those functions for the purpose of executing that Act.
