Police arrest a father over access dispute?

In a media report yesterday the ABC reported (see article below), that the police arrested a man over the abduction of children. But were these his children?

By the sounds of it making this man 'estranged' to these children in the eyes of the general public?

Well the ABC never cleared that up so we don't know.

So he was like this 'known man' who abducted them and nobody closer than a friend?

Then the police media stated that a six year-old boy and his two-year old sister were allegedly taken from their Fairfield home the day before by quote “a man who is known to them”. Un-quote.

So who was this man known to them? Their father?

But was the word father omitted out of the report? And why would a reporter omit that the person of interest may have been the father of the children?

Was that reported by the police PR media unit?

Was that special operation 'we don’t have a clue?’

What about special operation 'we don't believe in fathers'.

Would you believe special operation 'we only deal with criminals.'

They then reported that he kidnapped them? Not allegedly kidnapped them, but he did kidnap them. So he was guilty in their eyes.

But did he kidnap them? Well they were kids i'll grant them that.

Although it does sound more like he did not return the children say after an access visit? Or perhaps he, the [father], just wanted to be with his children? Perhaps, even say, an access visit gone wrong or even in direct contravention of a Family Court order? We don’t know.

Police then said, according to the media or police PR Quote: that the [man] allegedly threatened to harm them, ‘these [known] children. “

But does this cause unnecessary, alarm and affront and did he threaten these ‘known’ children?

If he were their father would he have been more likely to threaten his own children if a crisis situation had developed?

Police had earlier issued a rare amber alert during the search for the two young children.

Seems that this could have just been a dispute between parents of children?

So if the police arrested the man over a dispute why didn’t they report this alleged crime for what it may have been?

Why make an access dispute into a DANGEROUS situational crisis? Could that have gone wrong and caused this person to panic?

What is wrong with the label [father] if that is what the man was to his children?

What does changing that label do to the family in crisis?

Is this how people get shot and killed when police have no notion of family in their vocabulary?

And is a father a dirty word to the Police Force?

The reason I raise this article is that the breakdwon of families means that because a family is strong it can usually withstand intimidation by the authorities and therefore allot harder to breakdown. Once broken down into sepparate entitiies can easily be manipulated by the STATE.

I do understand that the Police want to criminalise people so that allegedly more attention is gained in order to arrest this person having others in the community think that this man is and could only be a danger to society but that's not true.

Because this notion can also go very wrong say if the person thinks that all he is, (in this case) is a criminal and did do something stupid like what happens in police pursuits . If that had occured and there was a death then would the police take the blame? I don't think so.

Personally I think it is fair for the word, father, brother, uncle etc to be included in the report if that is in fact what relationship the person was to those children and this would rather calm down the situational crisis much better. Man is more like a stranger and that's not fair to the family.

Police arrest man over child abduction

Police have arrested a man over the kidnapping of two children in Sydney.

A six-year-old boy and his two-year-old sister were allegedly
taken from their Fairfield home yesterday morning by a man who is known
to them.

Police said the man allegedly threatened to harm the children before driving off with them in a grey four-wheel drive.

A police spokesman says the man was found near his four-wheel drive in Campsie.
Police had earlier issued a rare amber alert during the search for the two young children.

Updated: 8:31am (AEST)

Dad charged after kidnapping man-hunt

Police say a man who allegedly abducted his two children in south-west Sydney yesterday did so on the same day an apprehended violence order (AVO) was taken out against him.

Officers allege the 37-year-old took his six-year-old son and two-year-old daughter from their Fairfield home about 8:00am (AEDT) on Saturday.

He was arrested about 7:50pm (AEDT) yesterday at Roselands, where police seized the car.

The father has been charged with eight counts of breaching an AVO.

The man spent the night in police custody and will face Fairfield Local Court today.

The children were safely returned to their mother yesterday.

-------------------------------

Quote: Oh! Dad better late than never. And when they say that the apprehended violence order (AV0) was issued on the same day. That is usually also Police, Media PR propaganda, and not necessarily before the act of child access.

Because police can make out the said AVO even before they speak to the defendant or accused person. Just more media tricks to break down this family and have the person appear more guilty.

Car boot rapist jailed for 14 years

A Sydney teenager who launched a "rampage of rape" on a topless waitress after hiding in her car boot has been jailed for at least 14 years.

In setting a maximum term of 20 years for James Nigel Stephens, Judge Michael Finnane said "It must be the worst nightmare for any woman to have a man suddenly emerge in a motor vehicle".

Stephens, then 18, was at a buck's party where the woman, 22, had worked in January last year. He secretly took her keys, opened the boot and later got into it.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated detention of a person for advantage over the incident at Waterloo, in inner-Sydney.

"What he did was horrifying in its cruelty," the judge said in the New South Wales District Court.

"It was planned and calculated.

"He hid himself in the boot of her car and when she was alone, emerged suddenly, grabbed her from behind, threatening her with a plastic fork pressed to her neck, causing her to scream with fear."

He forced the woman to pull over "then started a rampage of rape, in the course of which he anally raped her twice, vaginally three times, orally once and digitally twice".

The judge said Stephens had good relationships with his family, particularly his sister, and there was nothing in his background to suggest he was a sex offender.

"Some of the offences had a sadistic quality to them and he showed, during the time of committing these offences, an attitude of contempt for the complainant and utter indifference to her suffering," he said.

"Nothing in his background explains any of this."

The judge concluded Stephens had "intelligence, ambition, physical fitness" and had been well regarded as an employee and as a footballer with some potential.

"I must emphasise that I have no acceptable evidence that he drank to excess or that he consumed anabolic steroids," the judge said.

During sentencing submissions last month, Stephens' barrister had submitted the teenager had probably been under the influence of a "very, very nasty cocktail" of alcohol and steroids.

Upwardly immobile: mortgage stress bites

Reserve Bank statistics do not begin to tell the real story of housing stress in Sydney's western suburbs, according to financial counsellor Mike Young.

The former banker who joined Parramatta Lifeline as a financial adviser about nine years ago has seen his client list expand exponentially in the last three years.

"I've been doing this for about nine years now and up until about three-and-a-half years ago I'd see one client a year with a mortgage problem," Mr Young said.

"I'm now seeing one client a week if not two a week and I only work two days a week. (Mortgage stress) is alive and well."

The biggest myth about mortgage arrears and home repossessions, according to Mr Young, is that the problem is confined to single-income, struggling families.

"It's not just the down and outers, a lot of the people I'm talking to are your upwardly mobiles where the thing to do is buy your investment property," he said.

Successive interest rate hikes and spiralling living costs have combined with falling house prices across much of Sydney's west, he said.

Abbotsbury father-of-two Gil is a victim of this cycle.

The 55-year-old steel industry manager bought a two-bedroom townhouse at Rooty Hill in 2003 as an investment, in the hope of having some "money on the side" during retirement.

He fixed the majority of the loan at 7.19 per cent but the rest is variable and currently sitting just above 9 per cent.

Gil, who did not want his surname published, says the real estate agent's "flashy and glittering sales pitch" about the potential capital growth and using equity in his first home, plus a loan to minimise his tax burden, were false promises.

His initial investment of $305,000 would now fetch just $265,000.

"When the property market was going up and up I thought I can't lose," Gil said.

"It was a bit late for me to do it, then I should have realised (the market) was too high. My only hope to keep this property is if the banks start lowering their rates in conjunction with the RBA."

He says the big banks' reluctance to pass on rate cuts was insulting.

"It's the banks thinking they won't have to put our interest rates down that really pissed me off," he said.

"Why don't they look within their smug little world and see what they can do to fix the problem because that's where it stemmed from and it was their decision-making that got us all in this predicament."

NSW Housing Minister David Borger, who is also the Member of Granville, criticised lenders for being too soft on financial checks and documentation.

But industry representatives said it was up to banks to decide which loans to approve.

"Unfortunately there are some fringe lenders in our industry and we are determined to rid our industry of these unscrupulous operators," Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia chief executive Phil Naylor said.

"The very small minority of brokers and lenders who recommend loans inappropriate for a borrower's needs are a blight on our whole industry."

Darren Murphy, from the Parramatta-based Loan Management Centre, said worried homeowners should ask for help as soon as possible.

"People will leave it until they're three months in arrears before they put their hand up," Mr Murphy said.

"If people sought advice and help from professionals sooner rather than later then they'd give themselves wider choices.

The client list at the Salvation Army's Moneycare counselling service has also long reflected this week's Reserve Bank of Australia Financial Stability Review.

Moneycare co-ordinator Tony Devlin said mortgage payment problems had grown from 10 per cent to half of the service's work.

Most families were victims of poor lending practices coupled with sheer bad luck, Mr Devlin said.

"It's not reckless spending, they've lost their job, there's been an illness, a partner has died," he said.

"Couple that with easy access to debt and it becomes a huge problem."

Framed assassin to give evidence at review

Phuong Ngo was convicted [framed] for the murder of Labor MP John Newman

Framed convicted assassin Phuong Ngo has been ordered to appear in court in October to give evidence as part of a judicial review into his conviction.

Ngo is serving a life sentence for killing Labor MP John Newman outside his Cabramatta home in 1994.

A review of the conviction was ordered earlier this year.

Retired district court judge David Patten has set down three days from the October 8 to hear Ngo's evidence.

Framed convicted assassin returns to court

Phuong Ngo was convicted [framed] for the murder of Labor MP John Newman

The man [framed], convicted [and held-in-solitary-confinement] for Australia's only political assassination will face court again in a fortnight for another hearing to discuss a judicial review of his case.

Former Fairfield councillor Phuong Ngo was found guilty of shooting New South Wales state Labor MP John Newman outside the victim's south-west Sydney home in September, 1994.

Ngo has spent the last seven years serving a never-to-be-released sentence for the murder in-solitary-confinement at the high-security Supermax jail, in southern NSW.

[Why people are held in indefinite-soliary-confinement in NSW jails are in the hope that they will never remember who they were or are. Braindead people tell fewer tales.]

But last month, the chief justice of the NSW Supreme Court ordered a judicial inquiry into the trial, after experts said misleading and circumstantial evidence was used.

Dressed in a suit and flanked by three security guards, Ngo sat quietly during today's 20-minute hearing in the NSW Supreme Court in Sydney.

His barrister, Peter Hastings QC, told the court his client had been granted legal aid for the judicial review due to start later this year.

The head of the inquiry, retired District Court judge David Patten, granted a two-week adjournment so Ngo's legal team could issue subpoenas to Telstra and other witnesses.

The review will examine the mobile phone evidence used during Ngo's trial, the independence of witnesses and whether police withheld any information.

Australian National University legal academic Hugh Selby applied for the review earlier this year, saying he was concerned the evidence used to convict Ngo was too circumstantial.

Phuong Ngo was convicted [framed] for the murder of Labor MP John Newman.

The New South Wales Supreme Court has heard it could take several weeks to conduct a judicial review of the murder conviction over Australia's only political assassination.

Former Fairfield councillor Phuong Ngo has spent the past seven years [in solitary confinement] serving a never-to-be-released sentence at the high-security Supermax jail, in southern NSW, for murdering state Labor MP John Newman.

The Cabramatta MP was shot outside his south-west Sydney home in September, 1994.

A directions hearing into the review has discussed the need to determine how long it should take and whether a counsel assisting should be appointed.

Chief Justice James Spigelman ordered the review after receiving a submission from Australian National University legal academic Hugh Selby on behalf of Ngo.

Mr Selby applied for the review after experts said that misleading and circumstantial evidence was used in the trial

He is concerned about several aspects of the trial, including the use of mobile phone evidence, the independence of witnesses and the withholding of information by police

Senior police were furious when the review was called last month, saying they had every confidence in Ngo's conviction and could answer every question the inquiry could raise.

[That's why the thin blue line kept him solitary confinement so that he'd never get the chance for a review and 'A' typical of how the police/prison system works. Its not what you know it's definitely who you know that determines who stays in solitary confinement, indefinitely. When or if prisoners' break then its over and the frame up has been set in stone whether they be guilty of the high profile crime or not. Remember Newman wanted to stop drugs and the police were dealing in drugs as drug lords at the time. The cops wanted him out of the way.]

They said it would cost millions of dollars and would only lead to a vindication of Ngo's imprisonment.

Quote: Do they mean they might try and find the person who did it? Yay!

Doubts on Newman murder verdict

There are doubts about the validity of the conviction of Phuong Ngo, who is serving life in prison for [allegedly] masterminding Australia's first political assassination.

The state Labor MP John Newman was shot in the driveway of his Cabramatta home in 1994. Ngo, a former Fairfield City councillor and Mekong Club honorary president, was alleged to have wanted to take Newman's seat in Parliament. In 2001 after his third trial - his first was aborted and the second had a hung jury - Ngo was found guilty of organising Newman's murder.

However, his two co-accused, David Dinh, who was accused of pulling the trigger, and Quang Dao, the alleged driver of the getaway car, were acquitted.

Now there is new evidence which claims raises doubt about the validity of Ngo's conviction.

The alleged murder weapon, a .32 calibre Beretta, was found in the Georges River almost four years after the murder. The gun was so corroded that Australian ballistics experts had been unable to conclude that it was the murder weapon. But a German ballistics expert gave evidence that the pistol recovered from the river was "highly likely" to be the one used in the killing.

One of Australia's foremost corrosion experts, Dr Ian MacLeod, has said that the gun in the river could not have been the murder weapon because the degree of corrosion indicated it had been in the river for much longer than the estimated time.

Their are challenges to the phone records that police used to connect Ngo to the weapon in the river. Ngo's mobile phone records placed him near the spot the gun was found within half an hour after the MP's murder.

New research, has discovered "grey areas" near phone towers which cast doubt about crucial evidence linking Ngo with the murder weapon.

In his first interview since his acquittal, Quang Dao maintains Ngo's innocence. "I know for sure that Phuong is not involved in that murder," says Dao, the alleged getaway driver, because he - Dao - was in the Mekong Club's white Camry picking up his children at the time Ngo was alleged to have been in the same Camry outside Newman's house at the time of the murder.

Another witness - whose evidence was crucial in securing Ngo's conviction - had his own murder charge dropped in return for giving evidence against Ngo.

Ngo's appeals, including to the High Court, have been unsuccessful and he is serving his life sentence at the most secure jail in the country, Supermax at Goulburn.

After seven day's deliberating at the end of Ngo's second trial in 2000, which ended in a hung jury, the jury informed Justice James Wood there was no prospect of reaching a verdict.

Much later, the juror, who had refused to budge while the rest of the jury wanted to convict, posted the following comment on his website: "To be fair to me, the Crown should now tell the country, and the world, one positive thing about me - that I foiled a plan to put an innocent man in jail for the rest of his life."

Phuong Ngo: An Innocent Man Stands Convicted, Another Victim of N.S.W. Government Corruption and Conspiracy

In 1994 Phuong Ngo was wrongfully convicted of the murder of John Newman: yet another innocent man framed by N.S.W. police with the connivance of the N.S.W. government and its judiciary. Mr Ngo remains in gaol: in fact he is in the HRMU (High Risk Management Unit) in Goulburn, with a lot of other political prisoners of N.S.W.

Why are they in a 'high risk management' unit when they are model prisoners? Ask Mr Iemma, maybe he knows.

There is no exit strategy for these prisoners, living in solitary, airless, sunless conditions not unlike Guantanamo Bay; no hope for them to be transferred to a lower security gaol in the future.

Most people I have spoken to, when shown the evidence for the acquittal of Phuong Ngo, firmly hold the belief that he was framed.

Mr Ngo does not have a colourful past or troubled youth. Mr Ngo is an intelligent, articulate gentleman, a former leader of his community and a sincere member of his local Vietnamese Catholic church.

The chronology of events is this:

September 1994 John Newman MP shot dead at his Cabramatta home.

March 1998 Phuong Ngo, Quang Dao and Tuan Van Tran arrested during the coroner's inquest into John Newman's death.

1999 First trial - aborted due to prosecution misconduct.

2000 Alleged shooter David Dinh is arrested after Tuan Van Tran turns crown witness and is indemnified.

Second trial (Phuong and Quang) - jury can't agree.

June 2001 Third trial - Quang and David acquitted, Phuong convicted.

Mark Tedeschi QC, the Crown Prosecutor, is an expert at what he does. Mr Tedeschi always presents the police evidence to the jury very convincingly. It is not for Mr Tedeschi to decide that the police evidence has been manufactured. It is his job simply to present to the jury what he has.

This having been said, it was Mark Tedeschi who prosecuted the alleged Hilton Bombers, including Tim Anderson, who fully supports Mr Ngo in his efforts to prove his innocence.

In 1984, Mr Tedeschi was criticized by then Chief Justice Murray Gleeson when he overturned the verdict against Tim Anderson. Murray Gleeson stated that Mr Tedeschi had misrepresented the evidence to the jury, contributing to the miscarriage of justice.

Tim Anderson, Ross Dunn and Paul Alister lost seven years of their lives due to a police conspiracy. You would think a man as intelligent as Mark Tedeschi could see through these conspiracies and take a moral stand against them. But no, he just does his job as required. What a great public servant, and so typical of their attitude - ask no questions, see no evil, hear no evil.

Phuong Ngo's supporters are numerous. They point to his genuineness as a community activist who has earned respect over a large number of years and freely gave of his time to help others.

In the John Newman murder trial:
*The alleged killers were not convicted. Mr Ngo is not alleged to have fired the gun.
*Another man, "Mr A", confessed on tape - but the jury was not allowed to know this.
*The motive was disproved: The prosecution claimed Mr Ngo wanted Mr Newman's seat in Parliament. But at the trial it was established Mr Ngo was lined up for a seat in the Upper House. John Della Bosca was supporting Mr Ngo for an Upper House seat.
*Induced evidence was used.
*Three people were originally charged: only Mr Ngo was convicted.
*The media generated racial prejudice, using such phrases as "Asian crime boss", "Cabramatta Overlord", "Ethnic gang connections".

As an abrasive and arrogant local member, John Newman had many enemies in the area. Of all people, why would a gentle and educated man such as Phuong Ngo be the culprit? Phuong Ngo is clearly a political prisoner of New South Wales. He's the fall guy.

Phuong was convicted on circumstantial evidence given by witnesses with every reason to lie. Mark Tedeschi excused one witnesse's blatant lies by claiming he wasn't very intelligent.

Mr Ngo's recent letter to me was beautifully handwritten and articulate as always; thinking of others rather than himself; it hurts me so much that this good man is not only behind bars, but in the most evil prison in the country, the Goulburn HRMU, a place of torture, claustrophobia, airlessness and hopelessness. The innocent in the HRMU comfort each other on the rare occasions they are able to speak. They try to maintain hope while their lives slip away.

In agreement with Tim Anderson and the Vietnamese community in Cabramatta I call on the Attorney General to set up an inquiry into the police investigation of the John Newman murder, the conduct of the prosecutor and the issuing of indemnities to witnesses.

This state is so rotten with corruption it defies belief.
