Commonwealth Ombudsman statistics 2 /Kiss My Arse


 


So you have come to see the statistics of the Commonwealth Ombudsman!!!!
If you have made a complaint to the Commonwealth Ombudsman you probably have less than 1% chance of it being  handled correctly.
You have also around only 20% chance of the matter being investigated and  and a 99% chance of the matter being covered up!
Section 15 of the Ombudsman's act requires certain matters be brought to the Attention of the relevant Ministers, though what actually occurs is the Ombudsman brings it to the attention of the relevant agency or Department head and then make a deal to cover the matter up so this may continue . 
Eventually this conduct becomes part of the Systemic Corrupt Conduct of the  Department..
Be aware the Commonwealth Ombudsman  has no accounability   and it is all a game of KISS MY ARS Efor Agency and Department heads


Email to the Freedom of Information Officer Commonwealth Ombudsman..
Dear Luke,
I appears you have been sniffing Alison Larkins arse too much lately and the fumes are affecting your brain!
I refer to my request that you  provide me with details of the shortcomings  the commonwealth Ombudsman  found at the Insolvency Trustee Service Australia. I was wondering if one of them was that the Bankruptcy Regulations Manager Mark Findlay  had been Fucking the Florence Choo Deputy Official receiver NSW and Act and then wrote a misleading report covering up gross misconduct by her. I await your reply.

FOI response / APS Commission



From: FOI@apsc.gov.au
To: fionabrown01@hotmail.com
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:24:51 +1000
Subject: RE: TRIM: RE: Freedom of Information request

Dear Ms Brown,

I am writing in relation to your FOI request referred to below.  As noted previously, the timeframe for responding to an FOI request is extended by 30 days in circumstances where an agency consults with one or more third parties about the release of their personal information.

The documents you have requested include personal information about third parties and the Australian Public Service Commission is consulting with those parties about the release of that information under the FOI Act.  Consequently, the timeframe for responding to your request is extended by 30 days.

I will contact you again in the near future about your FOI request.

Regards,
____________________________________________________Chris Luton

Thanks Chris,
I can fully understand that Steve Sedgwick would not want these documents released as  this would expose  corrupt conduct and  the systemic  corrupt  handling of this  matter .
Previously I requested how Steve Sedgwick came to the conclusion that Veronique Ingram and Alison Larkins had no case to answer. After carefully considering and examining  the previous documents I received from FOI it appears it would be helpful to me to also request how Steve Sedgwick made a decision  that there was no case to answer for any of the other referrals made to him under S41 in the previous financial year.
So, as well as requiring documents that showed how Steve Sedgwick came to the conclusion that there was no case for Alison Larkins or Veronique Ingram to answer despite extensive evidence in the file at the Commonwealth Ombudsman I would like to be specific about what I would now also  like to obtain.....
I would like to obtain documentation how each decision was made by Steve Sedgwick on each referral to him under S41 that  the Agency Head or Department Head had no case to answer in the past financial year. This would be every individual case. I believe this would be the 11 Whistleblowers as well as the other 20 referrals made
As before I would also like you to supply me with the date that the APS Commission obtained the evidence and file from the Commonwealth ombudsman  when considering my complaint.
Thanking you
Fiona brown

Commissioner Steve Sdgwick kisses the Arse of 33 Agency Heads

Saturday, 14 April 2012

Steve Sedgwick APSC/covers-up 33 complaints about Agency Heads

Forget Craig Thompson and why he used a union credit card to pay for prostitutes... the Australian public Service Commissioner has kissed the Arse of 33 Government Department and Agency Heads in the past financial year.
 In the following document obtained under Freedom of  Iinformation  that has been blacked out are the names of these department heads that Steve Sedgewick has covered up for. 11 of these were referred to the Australian Public Service Commissioner by Whistleblowers.  This clearly  shows even if there is the relevant legislation available to protect such people from harassement there is no protection from corrupt conduct  by the Commissioner. 

It is also unclear  and difficult to establish  what arrangements  Commissioner Sedgwich made with these Agency and Department heads or whether the Commissioner simply has a fetish and fantasy for kissing ARSE.

The latest of these were Alison Larkins, Acting Commonwealth  Ombudsman and Veronique Ingram , Insolvency Trustee Service Australia .

It is also unclear  and difficult to establish  what arrangements  Commissioner Sedgwich made with these Agency and Department heads or whether the Commissioner simply has a fetish and fantasy for kissing ARSE.

Commissioner Steve Sedgwick APSC / changes to the APS Act

Mark Findlay's conversation with Veronique Ingram


RE..
 Decision by Steve Sedgwick   that Agency Heads and Department Heads no longer are responsible or need to comply with the APS Code of Conduct.
Inquiries to
steve.sedgwick@apsc.gov.au Edit this addressRemove this address
karin.fisher@apsc.gov.au Edit this addressRemove this address
0262023846

 After careful consideration and consultation with the  Management Advisory  Committee and according to the relevant legislation, the Australian Public Service Commissioner Steve Sedgwick has made a landmark decision  that Agency and  Department  Heads are no longer responsible and accountable for the breaches of the Code of Conduct in their  Government Agencies.  Also, the  Commissioner has found that Agency Heads or Department Heads no longer  are bound to uphold a high ethical standard.
  If, according to the APS Act the Agency or Department Heads is no longer accountable or responsible for upholding the code of conduct, all employees under this act  are  also not required to comply with the Code of conduct.
This decision will have far reaching ramifications and impact on how Agency Heads view their responsibilities and duties.
 This decision by  Steve Sedgwick  would also have an impact on  the Financial Management and Accountability Act for which Senator Penny Wong is responsible.
In the financial year 2010-2011 the Commissioner made 32 similar decisions. These are briefly mentioned in the Australian Public Service  Annual Report though there  appears no real  indication on the process  of how this was reached.  A request under FOI has been launched to determine how this decision was made. 
All matters of breach of Code of Conduct in the judicial system and the  APS tribunal should refer to this decision  and the Legal profession should make a careful note of it
It is also unclear whether the Prime Minister and the Public Service and Integrity Minister , Gary Gray  were consulted in this decision.
It can only be assumed this decision has been made to streamline the Australian Public Service Act.
The removal of this section of the Act and the responsibility it carries can only be  beneficial to the budgets of Commonwealth Government Agencies.
It would appear from the Commissioners decision  Agency and Department Heads are no longer required to comply with  “ Any Australian Law” as in S13(4) of the Code of Conduct . Section 44 of the FM&A  Act would no longer require  compliance with any Australian Law.
 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT 1997 - SECT 44
Promoting proper use etc. of Commonwealth resources
             (1)  A Chief Executive must manage the affairs of the Agency in a way that promotes proper use of the Commonwealth resources for which the Chief Executive is responsible.
Note:          A Chief Executive has the power to enter into contracts, on behalf of the Commonwealth, in relation to the affairs of the Agency. Some Chief Executives have delegated this power undersection 53.
             (2)  In doing so, the Chief Executive must comply with this Act, the regulations, Finance Minister's Orders, Special Instructions and ANY OTHER LAW.
 Steve Sedgwick was given extensive evidence of the behavior  at the Insolvency Trustee Service Australia  for which Veronique Ingram is responsible.
Evidence was given to the APS Commissioner  of  systemic corrupt corrupt  conduct  by senior management in this Government department .It was also brought to the attention of the commissioner that Mark Findlay ( Manager Bankruptcy Regulations) wrote a misleading report which was circulated to Government officials on the conduct of Florence Choo, who at the time was deputy Official receiver NSW and Act. It was latter revealed that Mark Findlay had been fucking her. Steve Sedgwick concluded he  did not consider this to be a conflict of interest or a breach of honesty. He also found  that the Agency Head could not be held accountable  for senior Management  misleading the public.
All Australian Laws  and policies will now have to be updated to make exemptions for Agency  and department Heads.

The Commissioner  found in particular that the  Acting Commonwealth Ombudsman Alison Larkins had no primfacea case to answer by doing deals with other government Agencies to cover up misconduct. It is also unclear who instructed Alison Larkins to do this and whether the Prime Minister and the Attorney General have been involved.



                        PUBLIC SERVICE ACT 1999 - SECT 13

The APS Code of Conduct
             (1)  An APS employee must behave honestly and with integrity in the course of APS employment.
             (2)  An APS employee must act with care and diligence in the course of APS employment.
             (3)  An APS employee, when acting in the course of APS employment, must treat everyone with respect and courtesy, and without harassment.
             (4)  An APS employee, when acting in the course of APS employment, must comply with all applicable Australian laws. For this purpose, Australian law means:
                     (a)  any Act (including this Act), or any instrument made under an Act; or
                     (b)  any law of a State or Territory, including any instrument made under such a law.
             (5)  An APS employee must comply with any lawful and reasonable direction given by someone in the employee's Agency who has authority to give the direction.
             (6)  An APS employee must maintain appropriate confidentiality about dealings that the employee has with any Minister or Minister's member of staff.
             (7)  An APS employee must disclose, and take reasonable steps to avoid, any conflict of interest (real or apparent) in connection with APS employment.
             (8)  An APS employee must use Commonwealth resources in a proper manner.
             (9)  An APS employee must not provide false or misleading information in response to a request for information that is made for official purposes in connection with the employee's APS employment.
           (10)  An APS employee must not make improper use of:
                     (a)  inside information; or
                     (b)  the employee's duties, status, power or authority;
in order to gain, or seek to gain, a benefit or advantage for the employee or for any other person.
           (11)  An APS employee must at all times behave in a way that upholds the APS Values and the integrity and good reputation of the APS.
           (12)  An APS employee on duty overseas must at all times behave in a way that upholds the good reputation of Australia.
           (13)  An APS employee must comply with any other conduct requirement that is prescribed by the regulations.

 Steve Sedgwick determined that Agency heads are no longer required to act honestly or with integrity as in S13(1)
          (1)  An APS employee must behave honestly and with integrity in the course of APS employment.
**
The commissioner  has found it is no longer necessary or required to act with care and diligence in the course of APS employment as required in S13(2)
2)  An APS employee must act with care and diligence in the course of APS employment.
** The Commissioner found that it is no longer necessary  for Agency Heads to comply with any Australian Law. He found this in particular for Veronique Ingram Inspector General Insolvency Trustee Service Australia and the Commonwealth Ombudsman Acting Agency Head Alison Larkins
  (4)  An APS employee, when acting in the course of APS employment, must comply with all applicable Australian laws. For this purpose, Australian law means:
                     (a)  any Act (including this Act), or any instrument made under an Act; or
                     (b)  any law of a State or Territory, including any instrument made under such a law.
In General  Steve Sedgwick concluded The Insolvency Trustee Service Australia and the Commonwealth Ombudsman had no obligation to comply with the relevant Laws they are responsible for

  (7)  An APS employee must disclose, and take reasonable steps to avoid, any conflict of interest (real or apparent) in connection with APS employment.
 Mr Sedgwick was made aware that Mark Findlay Fucking the Deputy OR NSW and ACT and then writing a misleading report to protect her was also reasonable and not a breach of the Code of Conduct S13(7)
The commissioner found that  S13(7) was no longer necessary and therefore APS employees did not comply with this section. He found that Mark Findlay Manager Bankruptcy Relations did not have a conflict of interest when he wrote a misleading report on a complaint  of misconduct by Florence Choo, Deputy Official Receiver NSW and Act. Steve Sedgwick   failed to find it a conflict of interest that Mark Findlay had been fucking her.
(9)  An APS employee must not provide false or misleading information in response to a request for information that is made for official purposes in connection with the employee's APS
Steve Sedgwick found it is entirely reasonable for the principal Legal Officer of a Department to write a misleading report to the then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The commissioner felt that  exposing misconduct in a Government Agency  would not be looked favorably by the Government, so taking this into consideration this was reasonable.

The Commissioner has also concluded that there is no right of  review  of this decision under the Australian Public Service Act, however, on a question of Law it may be  possible to have this important  decision reviewed  in the Federal Magistrates Court.
The following websites  for the Federal Magistrates Court and the Magistrates Court may be accessed at www.fedcourt.gov.au  and  www.fmc.gov.au
It is unclear how this decision was reached by Steven Sedgwick, Australian Public Service Commissioner, as he has failed  to reply  to requests  on how he could reach such a flawed  assumption. It appears that the Commissioner may be suffering from delusions and requires urgent medical intervention to correct an underlying  condition.

Memo to all staff 8

Attention all staff
4th April 2012


I find it extremely counterproductive and difficult to stay within perimeters of the Annual budget when this department has received a request for substantial amount from Commissioner Stephan Wegi-Wick for his decision to find there was no Prima facea case to answer from this department or from the Commonwealth Ombudsman for breaches of the ABS Act.
I have received an email from Adum Coma that he simply cannot cover this amount of money.
Originally when I was contacted by Commissioner Wegi-Wick I was asked to meet him and kiss his arse, which I did for the good reputation of this department.
I have also received an email from Di Berrybull from the Commonwealth Ombudsman that the Commissioner has also requested a similar amount of money from her. I am also informed that the Commissioner is in need of funds to repay his substantial gambling debts and has already been threatened by the underworld “bagman”.
Considering this, Prime Mister Guilia Millard has also thrown her weight in favor of the Commissioner. She has strongly recommended that this matter is resolved with Commissioner Wegi-Wick as a dead Commissioner cannot be seen to particularly comforting considering her approval rating. She also pointed out that that her limitations are also strained with the Craig Thomson matter and FAIRWORK
If anyone in this department has knowledge of any misdemeanor by the Commissioner that can be used to as leverage please let me know.
As before this can be left in the suggestion Box next to the coffee machine in reception.
Also please note that anyone supplying this valuable information will be looked upon favorably similar to Adum Coma.
Adum Coma is now on twitter and he can be contacted twitter@adum_coma ,adum_coma@hotmail.com or read his blog adum_coma@blogspot.com


Signed

Your Leader
