Update 1/2020 – News Flash

NEWS FLASH

The Australian will publish a news article re our claim for RCB Service Recognition in tomorrow newspaper Friday 28^th February.(1)

Over the last two days we have been in discussions with their reporter Paul Maley and provided relevant material. We are not privy to the content of his news report.

As you all know, our endeavours have sought our Right to the Truth and our Right to Challenge the Government’s decision. Working within the Government’s grievance process with evidence from the Governments’ own documents (ex-secret and top secret in over 130 cases) we have been denied due process to engage in meetings with the Minister’s advisors let alone third party mediation.

Our requests for an independent of government judicial enquiry have been ignored

We have long sought the media’s interest to expose The Deception to the Australian public to influence the Government to appoint an independent of Government judicial enquiry. Hopefully, this Australian news report will.

We ask you to re-read our last RCB Update 5/2019: From Deception to Exposure – 2020 Action because it will form the basis for our follow up campaign to the Australian newspaper article with our own personal engagements with all MPS and Senators.

Thanks for your past patience and support. Stand ready for Campaign action.

RCB – Right to Contest Government’s Decision

The National Media’s Right to Know Campaign provides us with the opportunity to take advantage of their promotions particularly our exposure of the Government’s denial to allow us the fundamental right to contest their classification of RCB service as peacetime service, similar to garrison duty in Australia. RCB service met the criteria for warlike service.

In theory that right exists but after 13 years of lived experience with the Defence Department’s complaints process we assert it as unjust and has involved breaches in the Prime Ministers Ministerial Standards and the Public Service codes of ethics and conduct.

Our detailed research has discovered evidence that challenges the Government’s RCB decision, exposes the falseness of their reliance on stated external reviews that together has revealed a deception to deny RCB service as warlike.

We conclude:
1. The RCB deployment was warlike because it met the criteria for warlike service.
2. The costs of a warlike service entitlements was a major factor in denying RCB warlike service.
3. The process was unjust by denying us proper process, transparency, personal meetings with Defence (NOSB staff) and access to third party mediation.

When Government hides the truth from you, what are they covering up?

Ex-Colonel Praises Critical Campaign

Australians have a right to know what their Government is doing in their name and to question politicians about their policies, and hoe it is being implemented or not implemented retired Colonel Ray Martin says.

Mr Martin was involved in a push for an outreach program after veterans believed they had been adversely affected by Defence-sanctioned antimalarial drug trials.

The RCB Review Group supports the medias Right to Know Campaign with particular interest in the second Right to Contest the Government’s decision.

Our experience in this contest reveals a denial of fair and just process by the Government. Our multiple requests over 13 years to meet with the relevant parties has been ignored.

We call upon the Prime Minister to appoint an “independent of government” e,g, a sitting magistrate, public inquiry.
