THE AUSTRALIAN

Dear Mr Snow

UNITED NATIONS TOLD 'FAMILY COURTS ABUSING ONE MILLION AUSTRALIAN'S HUMAN RIGHTS'
AUSSIES IN WONDERLAND: WITCH HUNT, WATERGATE, WATERLOO - VICTORIAN SUPREME COURT
PROCEEDINGS 9665 OF 2007, 9263 AND 10222 OF 2008 AND 3731 AND 3766 OF 2009
AGGRAVATED BURGLARY 17 NOVEMBER 2007 (VICTIM: JOHNSON – CULPRIT: CRESSY)

1. I am writing to thank you for your article in Friday's Australian. As another victim of lawyer-fraud (in my case,
family law fraud) I would welcome the demise of the system. Your words 'They formed an oligarchy, the
result being a system that would principally serve the interests of the government the society and lawyers,
not clients' describes much better than I could the impenetrable circles of corruption in which I have been
surrounded.
2. I am also writing to see if you would like some materials for a follow up story on the (deliberate) failure to
regulate Australian lawyers – the sharks with wigs situation that has developped.
3. The things I have been complaining about in my little voice in my above numbered Supreme Court
proceedings, like the criminal corruption of these family lawyers and the criminal incompetence of the
Victorian legal regulator – well the Federal Attorney-General and the Victorian Ombudsman have recently
voiced exactly the same criticisms in their very loud voices (see attached).
4. I believe that media publicity for these ongoing legal proceedings might do a world of good now that the
Federal Attorney-General and the Victorian Ombudsman have brought these systemic frauds and
corruptions onto the national agenda.
5. I am a commercial and government lawyer of 18 years good standing. I am also the victim of sharks with
wigs who have taken advantage of a mentally and emotionally ill ex-girlfriend to blackmail me with fraudulent
claims of false de facto relationship. The fraud is so outrageous, and the attack on me so intense that no
Judge, no regulator and no politician cares to do a thing about it. The truth is so shocking that nobody
wants to even consider looking into it for fear of what they will find.
6. I attach a copy of my latest facsmile today to my local Federal Member of Parliament, Ms Julia Gillard,
Deputy PM, plus substantial reading materials from the Victorian Ombudsman's 2008-09 Annual Report,
and press reports of the Federal Attorney-General's warnings 'lawyers fail you' and 'sharks with wigs'.
7. I am reeling from reading these materials, as they provide a helicopter view of the corruption and criminal
misconduct that is rampant in the legal profession (solicitors, barristers, judges and regulators) of which I am
probably just one, probably one of the biggest and most heavily hit, victims.
8. The Victorian Attorney-General should be sacked for appointing this States most criminally incompetent
lawyer as its peak lawyer-regulator. I'm all by crying as I write this – pain, shock and humor.
9. I swear that my case is a perfect example for anyone with the moral courage to wish to do a rocket-fuelled
clean up of this corrupt industry.
10. But just look at the WA Chief Justice Martin's suggestions – the emphasis should be on teaching ethics not
punishing the sharks for past sharking (or, presumably, compensating the bitten and maimed). Is this
corruption, or is this politicial expediency – recognition that the lawyered priveleged class are so powerful,
and will use all their privileges and powers to keep their privlieges and powers, and the extent of sharking is
too endemic (a $6bn per annum industry in the family law courts alone) to ever get any reforms without the
co-operation of powerful lawyers lobbies, which co-operation can only be bought with blanket permanent
amnesties for all sharks in wigs.
11. This is truly sickening for someone like me who believes in stuff like Magna Charta, equality of all under the
law, and that professionals should lead by example (if anything, should be less equal rather than more equal
under the law).
12. I ask that you action this information and my plight as best fits your moral courage and conscience. Me, I
have no doubt that the Governments (State and Federal) will lay down with the powerful 'sharks with wigs'
lobbies and this will all die down with no real changes. Just words that can be said so the problems can be
forgotten soon – especially with the footy finals, Spring races and other much more important grown up
children's games and things coming up to occupy the minds of the masses.

Kind regards

H. JAMES JOHNSON
