What is OccupySydney?

Tomorrow at 2:30PM, the Australian Revolution will begin in Martin Place, Sydney outside the Reserve Bank of Australia. We are coming together to discuss the high-cost of living in Australia, corporate greed, government corruption and censorship.

Why should fat cats in corporations and government be getting huge pays while many Australians become the "working poor". Why should we be allowing the government to continue paying corrupt organisations.

OccupySydney is the logical extension of Operation Ability and is already receiving media attention. We will bring to the world's attention the events occurring around the country that politicians have ignored.

How Bathurst High acts on child sex abuse claims

Instead of informing the authorities about suspected child sex abuse, Bathurst High implemented a policy of go quietly and that will be the end of the matter.

Peter Street was the subject of allegations of sexually assaulting young students at the school for many years. He was told if he went quietly the allegations would not be referred to the Police. Street is now a taxi driver.

Patrick Sinclair was proven to be using Facebook and Bebo to communicate with students outside of school, inviting them to parties and telling them they were sexy. It was discovered he had sex south a number of students. Gaye Dunshea and Geiff Hastings told him if he left quietly they wouldn't report him. He now works at All Saints School.

Australian authorities consider the intellectually disabled to be fair game

If you are a rape victim in Australia with an intellectual disability, you are likely to never receive justice if the situation in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales is anything to go by.

In July, South Australian authorities found that there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a case because the victim was intellectually disabled and couldn't give coherent evidence. At a special school in South Australia, a number of intellectually disabled students were abused with the abuse covered up by the Police and the school itself.

In 1993, allegations were made about St John of God Brothers in Victoria abusing the intellectually disabled, with Police saying it would be too difficult to lay charges because the victims were intellectually disabled. In other cases, the abuse was covered up by the church with Police never notified.


In 2007, another disabled student was molested by a taxi driver between home and Portland Central School. The student was moved to another school and the taxi driver remains employed while the school, under the direction of Tina Slattery covered it up.

In 2009, a taxi driver who drove students to Carenne Public School was taken off his duties driving intellectually disabled students after it was learned he had molested one boy between home and school. The education department covered it up.

In 2010, the NSW education department claimed in a civil claim that it wasn't responsible for the sex abuse of a student at Carenne Public School for the intellectually disabled by one of its teachers because it could not have foreseen it and that the student was already disabled so it caused him no further harm. The whole incident was covered up by Police, the school and the media. The molester, Anna Blackburn was never charged by Police. This is just one of a number of claims at the school.

Earlier this year, two bus drivers for Carenne Public School were accused of molesting disabled students and physically assaulting them. The education department and police both refused to investigate.

What the former Bathurst MP said about Carenne

On 17.11.2009, Gerard Martin sent the following to Carenne blogger "Libertarian":

In response to your e-mail the 17^th of the 11^th regarding Carenne special school I make the following observations.
I have always been and will continue to be a strong supporter of the school.
The fact that something has been revealed on Indymedia does not make it true. I am aware of many libellous and untrue statements posted on that website. I am Also intrigued as to how and why people who do not live in the area have no knowledge or links to the school can add to the mischievous innuendo and rumour.
I am confident that the departmental and police investigations will reveal the true story. In the meantime the genuine and honest supporters of Carenne school will continue to support the school as it goes about its very important work.

Yet another NSW Politician has now been named as part of the coverup.

NSW Tendering corrupt

Tender troubles: Corruption systemic in NSW government's procurement process

15 July 2011 | by David Wheeldon

A report from the NSW corruption watchdog based on a survey of suppliers to the public sector has found corruption is rife within the NSW government's procurement process.
According to reports by Australian Associated Press (AAP), favouritism, leaking confidential information during the tendering process and the offer of bribes to government employees are all suspected.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) yesterday released the survey results which found that corruption was "systemic" across all tiers of government.

One report, ‘Corruption risks in NSW government procurement: Suppliers' perceptions of corruption’, found 41 per cent of suppliers considered corruption a problem. And 55 per cent indicated that improper favouritism was occurring.

"Each year, approximately 12 per cent of complaints received by the ICAC include allegations of corruption in NSW government procurement, and approximately 30 per cent of our public inquiries make findings of corrupt conduct related to NSW government procurement activities," the report states.

A supplier was quoted in the report: "Certain tenderers seem to know the emphasis of specifications, possibly due to their relationship with contractors assisting to draw up specs rather than with government employees.
"Certain tenderers place a lot of emphasis on taking people to the cricket, etc."
However, ICAC noted that favouritism in some cases was arguably taking place for good reasons, such as wanting to reduce risk by dealing with a known quantity, or for non-corrupt but questionable reasons, such as wanting to reduce workload.

"Regardless of its drivers, however, favouritism discourages non-favoured suppliers from bidding."
A second report: ‘Corruption risks in NSW government procurement: Recommendations to government’, found NSW's procurement process was complex, confusing and inconsistent across state and local government.

According to AAP, the ICAC recommended a complete review of the government's procurement process and a move to centralise the development of its procurement policy, as well as create a centralised complaint and investigation and process to review suspected breaches.
