VAL KERRISON FIGHTS BACK. AFFIDAVIT FILED IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION
Since IndyMedia published Val's Story "HealthQuesting Val Kerrison"
node/35858 there have been more than 3,000 reads of it on IndyMedia, and countless more on the WhistleBlowers' Documents Exposed (WBDE) site
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Mar_03_IndyMedia_HealthQuestingValKerrison.php
IRC scheduled her to court. Val's husband wrote to IRC and enclosed a doctor's recommendation that she not do legal matters for 4 months
The IRC suggested that they go ahead, seemingly not concerned that TAFE and Crown Solicitors team want to "claw back" the money/salary TAFE had been paying Val, costs galore for 6 years of unwarranted litigaion, and seemingly not concerned if she could mount a case or not.
So, Val, herself, wrote again to IRC and in an effort to get them to stop, felt forced to reveal embarrassing personal health facts to do with her cancer treatment side-effects. She asked again for the doctor's recommended 4 months reprieve
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Mar_8_Excerpt_Kerrison_to_IRC.php
Alarmingly, IRC responded and we posted an alert that IRC were attempting to meet alone re costs against Val node/36250.
Val's husband then approached the Local Member Andrew Stoner and reported IRC letter to him.
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Feb_28_Kerrison_to_Stoner.php
Regarding Val's case, we believe that the documents clearly show that it is Val who is entitled to the judgement, and TAFE should be paying her costs. In fact we were so convinced in her right to a bit of justice that we lobbied the IRC ourselves pointing out her entitlements to justice and the court's responsibility to deliver it under ex debito justitiae http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Jan_25_NoReplyToApplicationForExDebitoJustitiae_8Jan2006.pdf.
IRC, maybe hoped Val was too sick to stand against them and TAFE and Crown Solicitors' mob and all,
Below is her affidavit, and attached are about 30 of the secret decisions that the IRC chould have declared Null and Void due to denial of natural justice/procedural fairness -- but didn't.
So the general public did.
Under WBDE they convened Panels and judged the decisions Null and Void, and stamped and published them.

BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION

NEW SOUTH WALES TECHNICAL AND

APPELLANT
VALDA JUNE KERRISON
RESPONDENT
AFFIDAVIT OF EMERGENCY
Ex Debito Justitiae
Deponent
VALDA JUNE KERRISON
Date: 21 March 2006
[Address and Contact Numbers]
On 21 March 2006, I Valda June Kerrison say on oath:
1 The Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) held medical advice that I should not be running legal matters at present, but IRC proposed to proceed.
2 I therefore again asked IRC, and despite embarrassment, divulged my present personal health symptoms.
3 I have now received a letter from IRC 14 March 2006 that the IRC propose that they continue this case on 24 March 2006 with directions to TAFE regarding costs against me, and advise that my attendance is not required.
4 I disagree and protest against this arrangement.
5 I believe that considering costs against me is premature, unjust, without substance; waste of public funds, resources and publicly funded time because it goes directly opposite to the documents and/or evidence held by all parties.
6 I believe those documents and/or evidence indicate that justice, including judgement and costs etc are owed to me.
Reasons
7 I believe that the IRC judges did not have the power on 20 September 2004 to disallow my contentions that there was denial of natural justice from Jan 1995 onwards, and therefore I, my family and associates, and students have, at all times, entitlement to natural justice from TAFE, HealthQuest, IRC and others holding the power to affect my rights to job, income, reputation etc.
8 I believe that all parties hold 18 July 2005 WhistleBlowers’ Documents Exposed (WBDE) Procedural Fairness Natural Justice Panels project because it was sent to key players through the years 1995 to mid-2005 and onwards, and publicly published, and these key players in this project include:
Ms Elaine Brus, Mr Bob Carr, Mr Peter Cribb, Dr Helia Gapper, Dr Jim Holmes, Dr Helen Jagger, Mr Chris Lockwood, Mr Menzies, Dr Eva Mandel, Ms Elizabeth McGregor, Mr Mike Quinn, Dr Gregor Ramsey, Ms Gail Robison, Mr Raoul Salpeter, Hon Jeff Shaw’ Ms Kerrie Walshaw’ Dr Gary Willmott’ Mr Robin Shreeve’ Dr Andrew Refshauge [sic should be Refshaughe], Hon Morris Iemma;
8.1 That supply of information 18 July 2005, and opportunity to deny if they wished, led to their agreement that decisions and documents against me were judged Null & Void, and should be so stamped and the null and void actions rectified.
8.2 These decisions/documents/actions are again listed at URL
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2005_Jul_18_WBDE_Procedural_Fairness_Panel_Documents.php and the 30-odd voided documents clearly marked.
[Attachmed at Page 5 of this Affidavit].
8.3 I believe that even though the IRC and Crown Sols/TAFE could have done this, they had yet another chance because this information and decisions was incorporated in WBDE Panels’ Notice/application to IRC and Crown Sols for ex debito justitiae dated 8 January 2006.
8.4 I believe that we all; including all judges, TAFE legal representatives, and I; hold this application and conclusion because it was security-posted to all personally including Justices Wright, Walton, Staunton, Staff, and Mr Knight Crown Solicitor’ Office (the addressees) directly to their individual offices.
9 That 8 January 2006 application for ex debito justitiae is also on public record at:
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Jan_25_NoReplyToApplicationForExDebitoJustitiae_8Jan2006.pdf
10 I believe that we are all party to the 8 January 2006 WBDE Notice/application for ex debito justitiae conclusion which set out:
“…If there is anything further which WBDE or anyone else needs to do to get justice for Mrs Kerrison we ask that this be clearly and unambiguously conveyed to the relevant person and notify us and Mrs Kerrison.
“1. We ask the relevant parties to address the irregularities and breaches set out in these documents by 22 January 2006 being 14 days from the date of this notice.
“2. In addition, by 22 January 2006, if Mrs Kerrison has not been contacted by the addressees and a different arrangement agreed to by the parties, it is taken that the addressee/s of this document, together with Mrs Kerrison and WBDE (if applicable) agree unreservedly and binding that all the documents identified as being null and void at
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2005_Jul_18_WBDE_Procedural_Fairness_Panel_Documents.php
“are null and void; that all copies must be so stamped; and that the judgement of December 2004 is formally set aside as void by the IRC and TAFE’s application to Appeal is denied.”
11 I believe that as at 22 January 2006, and even 20 March 2006 neither I nor WBDE have received any denial or protest from any of the addressees.
12 I believe that it is therefore taken that no addressee to that application has disagreed or sought to avoid or change such agreement, and therefore fully agree I am entitled to all as set out in that January 2006 Notice/application .
13 I believe that this entitlement includes judgement and costs to me, and not judgement and costs to TAFE as proposed by IRC in their letter 14 March 2006.
14 I believe that I am entitled to ex debito justitiae now.
Forced “Medical Retirement” - Discrimination
15 On 6 March 2006 the WBDE Human Rights and Ethics Panel wrote to Mr Stepan Kerkyasharian, President of the AntiDiscrimination Board asking him to advise/assist the IRC in relation to discrimination re an IRC/Crown Sol/TAFE purported forced ‘medical’ retirement.. This letter is on public record at URL
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Mar_6_WBDE_ToADB.pdf
IRC Judge/s May Inquire Into and Revisit Any Part of this Case 1994-2006
16 I believe that IRC have recently sought further evidence or information regarding my case, and may be assisted by the chronologically organised narration of information extracted from the material held by the Commission and parties in the form of case documents, affidavits and accounts. They are set out in the article “Val Kerrison – Her Story” published with public comments on Sydney IndyMedia at:
node/35858
and is also on the WhistleBlowers’ Documents Exposed web site, URL
http://www.wbde.org/documents/2006_Mar_03_IndyMedia_HealthQuestingValKerrison.php
17 I believe that if IRC judges feel insufficiently informed this should have been immediately addressed directly, efficiently and effectively.
18 I believe that it is not appropriate for IRC Justices to meet alone with TAFE legal representatives to give ‘directions’ to them on costs against me because that ignores and effectively denies my claims and applications for justice, the evidence they hold, and their responsibilities to public justice..
19 I believe that ignoring and or denying the procedural fairness natural justice issues and issues set out in the WBDE Notice/application works seriously against my claims because we all hold documents showing that I am entitled to justice, and that this justice includes judgement for me and my legal costs against TAFE.
20 I believe that the path proposed by IRC in their letter 14 March 2006 is opposite to administering justice; that it is not in the public interest, is a misuse of public resources, seriously damaging to me both legally and health-wise, and hugely helpful to TAFE and Crown Solicitors.
21 I ask that I be contacted and advised
21.1 that the Directions hearing scheduled for 24 March 2006 is cancelled, and
21.2 that ex debito justitiae has been commenced, and
21.3 how it will be accorded.
22 Failing that, as there is no person to represent my interests in Court it appears that, to try to protect my claims I need to leave Kempsey early Thursday in order to attend the scheduled listing 24 March 2006 in Sydney.
SWORN By etc

Val Kerrison fights back
Unchecked corruption has to be exposed.
Val's case is frightening because it is an example of a widespread malaise. Not one case but many cases, with the same theme.
If there is ever a crack in the system so many examples will come to the fore. Val is working towards cracking the system, and her case could be the one to succeed.
Shameful TAFE
Thanks Jo, keep fighting. Those at Kempsey TAFE who caused this have been publicly shamed. Maybe they'll think twice before doing this to any other employee. Meanwhile I wonder if Aboriginal students are still being kept out of courses and otherwise discriminated against.
val kerrison fights back
val kerrison your perserverance and spirit is amazing-
the authorities must not be allowed to get away with such corruption and wickedness
Val Kerrison fights back
The boot is finally on the other foot. It is long over due. There has been too much abuse of power by the judiciary and legal profession. It is now time to regain the status quo - to reclaim the truth. The list of 'crimes' by those involved in Val's case and the clear as crystal detailing of their abuse and corruption could not be explained better. Even blind Harry can understand it. The panel of ordinary and concerned citizens has certainly understood it. Yet, the state's employees the legal experts could not. This causes me to wonder if:
1. They are corrupt.
2. They are inept.
Either way they are unemployable. Their continuance in their current posts is unacceptable. There MUST be an investigation into their flawed decision making to see how many victims they have created.
Val's case is a terrible statement on the failure of current legal system to do what is right. Even more sad and horrific is the fact that her case is not unique.
It is long past time for something to be done. Val has show why - we must show the state of injustice when and better yet, where to go!!
Good one, Val. The ball is their court - it will be interesting to see how they play it. There are few places today than yesterday for these weasel's to run.
Corrupt governments do not
Corrupt governments do not clean up corrupt governments.
The NSW elections are coming
It is up to the people to clean up corrupt officers/politicians.
Basically, if they are in power now they are either ineffective or part of the corruption - vote them out. If you are worried that you might be getting rid of someone of value they can always be voted back in another time. But this is the only way to sweep cleaner than the barn-load of droppings we have now.

Still no action by the corrupt 'watchdogs'
Why are the lazy, corrupt, idle, kow-towing ombudsman's office, icac, audit office, attorney-general's office, and the ministers for justice, premier, health etc etc receiving OUR public money when they are as idle as a stone buried 10 kms in the earth?
Sack them out of public office
Read about them - and this is just the tip of the iceberg on
Whistleblowers documents exposed site
http://wbde.org
She Reported Crime to Police Dept et al
Val Kerrison reported the crime of fake retirement certificates to the police.
The fake/fraudulent documents were written by Healthquest. Purchased and used by TAFE, DET, Crown Solicitors, and Judges Staunton, Staff, Walton etc. Watched by Paul Macmahon Teachers Federation mouthpiece lawyer, Legal Services Commission, Attorney Generals, Premiers...on and on
Who will jump out of the corruption slop-heap?
Anyone?
What a disgusting, pathetic, bunch of cowardly ... who seemingly are jail fodder
Who will vote them out of office?
Tell us

Grey Collar (Government) Crime is Bleeding us Dry
It has now evidently cost some millions as the mindless, incompetent bully boys try to silence the truth. This is all shown in the HealthQuesting Val Kerrison article, and the notices from whistleblowers and decent people.
Vote this corrupt government into oblivion.

Imbecile Iemma Still Ignores Val Kerrison Plight
sack all slobering imbecile wanna-be politicians
Criminal government departments and malfeasance
TAFE and other government departments are acting as CRIMINALS. Their officers should be before the courts, they should be punished, but instead the various government ministers are denying any wrongdoing and are protecting their criminal employees.
I am going to write to the Leader of the Opposition just out of interest to see if they should win an election, would they sack these employees in the public service who have had people certified insane, have lied about employees and have acted corruptly. In my opinion whatever government we have in NSW it is going to allow its departments to act corruptly and with malfeasance and malice.
I don't care if the I.C.A.C. has found there was 'no corruption.' They are corrupt too. It doesn't take the ICAC for the rest of us to see that certain activities especially HealthQuest are corrupt.
Iemma and Debnam - Sleeping together?
Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee.
Neither Debnam nor Iemma/Carr have yet acted on this whistleblowing case in this century, and back to 1995

Corruption is getting fatter and fatter
The Crown Solicitor's ffice grows fat as their numbers swell in their fight against Val, Pascale, Gerard, John, Pam, Maria, L**, Maree, Nick, Elizabeth, C**, etc etc etc
The atrocious discriminatory forced "medical retirement" was performed by HealthQuest on one young girl who was in her first job.
There is no hell tortuous enough for these obscene quacks and their feeders.
Jumpin Judge Judy
Call for procedural fairness to Val Kerrison
if the crown solicitors are happy to give procedural fairness to pedophiles (and that is their right, and indeed everyone's right) I can't help wondering why they can't find a little bit of procedural fairness and natural justice for whistleblowers including val kerrison?
How about it?
Do you want to take this one Premier and HealthQuest?

Re: VAL KERRISON FIGHTS BACK.
