Mr Michael Pelly
THE AUSTRALIAN
Dear Mr Pelly
1. I thank you again for your Legal Affairs articles last Friday and again today.
2. Obviously it is just a few 'sharks in wigs' that are causing all of the disgrace for the legal profession, and as
yet unmeasured harm for the 'ordinary' people mauled and maimed by them.
3. I would very much like to give a human face to these shark maulings. Namely. Mine. That was the purpose
of my correspondence to you earlier this week.
4. It is all very well for the Federal Attorney-General to acknowledge these shark attacks. That is the very first
step, a red letter day, in the long process to deal with the sharks (by re-education, beaching or caging, as fits
the crime) and to assist, compensate and heal their innocent victims.
5. The Federal Attorney-General must show leadership and propel us into the second step of the process.
Otherwise the powerful statutory oligarchs will just patiently wait, ride out the adverse publicity and the
sharking will continue as usual.
6. Two days ago I received 13 letters from our criminally derelict Victorian legal services regulator. I responded
to the worst 3 of these yesterday, calling on her again, in light of my reports and even more so the Victorian
State Ombudsman's report, to resign.
7. I have also called on the Victorian Attorney-General and the Victorian Premier to sack this woman, and to
establish a Coorruption and Misconduct Commission of Investigation – beginning with the 95
complaints about this criminally derelict legal regulator that the Victorian State Ombudsman received last
financial year. Mine is just one of those 95 complaints about her.
8. I have also called on my local Federal Member of Parliament, Deputy Prime Minister Gillard, and the Federal
Attorney-General to support their Victorian colleagues and to conduct a parallel (and even joint) Corruption
and Misconduct Commission of Investigation into the family law courts as these are the preferred
shallow feeding grounds of these 'sharks with wigs'. Your reference to the Arthur and Darcy Freeman case
in this morning's Australian shows you have some awareness of the link between this corrupt $6bn per
annum family law 'sharks with wigs' feeding frenzy and problems for children and both their parents caught
'up the creek' in family law court proceedings.
9. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues, and possibilities for further articles for you.
Kind regards
H. JAMES JOHNSON
