During years of whistleblowing, I have at times been stunned when both ex-AG Atkinson and current AG John Rau were interviewed on air and had me shaking my head in total disbelief. Click Link to go to previous Post regarding Model Litigant boasts!
John Rau ABC interview re: Model Litigant
These are elected people holding positions at the highest levels of fidelity, lawfulness, and transparency.
These people are looked to for setting the standards by which we live by, by which we aspire to, by which we look to for protection.
Unless I have missed something, both these gentlemen have misled the public.
I remember a while ago when AG Atkinson hammered me on 5AA during an interview with Mike Smithson. He had some pretty horrible things to say about me. His inference that I was a liar was hard to miss!
Had it been the other way round, I am certain he would have dragged me through the courts for defaming his character. That was and still is his track record.
Anyway, here is the letter the paper has ignored.
Attorney-General. Please Explain.
During an ABC891 interview on 16 February 2011, as he had done many times since taking office, Attorney-General Rau went to great lengths to assure listeners that Crown behaves as a Model Litigant before and during court proceedings.
The previous Attorney-General, Michael Atkinson, held the same flag for many years.
Since 2004, I have doggedly pursued the Department of Justice and the government for a copy of this telestic papyrus, but with no success.
Recently, a document appeared on the web named CSO LEGAL BULLETIN2.PDF. The contents were authored on 16 June 2011. It is a Model Litigant dissertation.
Again, I challenge another Attorney-General to come clean, for the sake of transparency, for the sake of both complainants and defendants, and to release to the public domain an appropriately dressed Model Litigant Policy.
Considering the recently released file was authored last June, I am still curious as to what both Attorney-Generals referred to many times over the years prior.
It would be devastating to think that both doyens of South Australian justice done nothing but spoof the people of South Australia.
In my opinion, your Honour, John Rau carries the same flag the previous AG flapped around at anyone who challenged the integrity of the office.
Recently I submitted to John Rau a very detailed range of complaints against the Crown Solicitor's Office. Against a particular solicitor.
Yeah. I got a reply. All two paragraphs. He referred my submission to the Crown Solicitor's office. The same people I complained about.
Speaks for itself, doesn't it! I am certain you know what he said in that letter!
