A Cry for Justice: My Hunger Strike Against Unrelenting Oppression on 18th Sept 2023.

​

"Systematic Government Persecution: Unraveling the Conspiracy Against Rich McLean's Mental Health and Prosperity”

 

Rich McLean has endured a systematic pattern of persecution marked by rejection, bans, gaslighting, and the suppression of evidence and facts across various Australian government agencies, as evidenced on this page. It is bluntly a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice which involves dozens of corrupt public officials. This persecution is rooted in his substantial profile within the government, built through his Ph.D., award-winning autobiography focused on human rights, advocacy work that spanned across Australia, and his engagement to former ASIO employee Stefan Iasonidis. Despite his altruistic contributions of mental health advocacy over thirty years on local, state, national and international levels which saw him speak and comment publicly in person at community groups, universities, key note speeches, and all across the media of radio and TV, it has become apparent that his efforts were, in hindsight, exploited, and he is now facing vilification.

​

1. Rich officially has no home,

2. He can’t get a lawyer,

3. He can’t go to police,

4. He is a rejected whistleblower,

5. His human rights abuses have been documented but AHRC refuse to investigate,

6. He is banned at AFCA,

7. Its evident now his work cover rejection at ComCare upheld at AAT were pre determined and corrupt,

8. HCF have blocked his income assist in hindsight this was pre determined too,

9. His business website www.richmclean.com.au maliciously destroyed by Micron21 with links to Government,

10. He has no money,

11. He barely has food or medicine,

12. The oppression has been sustained over years,

13. It forced his suicide in February 2021; so severe it was deemed fatal,

14. He was accidentally found unresponsive with no pulse and was revived to a cognitive brain impairment,

15. The tragedy is now whitewashed at many Government agencies including the ombudsman,

16. His relationship with Stefan Iasonidis in which he was exploited never acknowledged by any agency,

17. All his public interest disclosures are rejected,

18. The national ombudsman refuses all future communication,

19. The silence has now reached a ludicrous level.

20. This page has now been referred to NACC for investigation. he expects it to fail.

​

Furthermore, Rich McLean's exposure of the indebtedness of influential individuals and their lawyers, including a GP in a malpractice case and his lawyer Mr Russell Ball, and including Steve Iasonidis, an ASIO employee who owes significant sums to McLean, triggered an intensified campaign of oppression and victimisation. Victimisation is against the law. Detriment occurs when a person makes a complaint and is treated differently for it and it has affected Rich in prosperity, in his health and well being, the contents of his possessions destroyed, his freedom, and his right to live a life free from persecution and surveillance. This series of events, many documented on this page, are designed to harm him by redacting his prosperity, has resulted in an ongoing and pervasive experience of injustice and maltreatment. Rich can understand the situation in that all people want love and comfort, and money can afford this - and it is clear that many public officials refuse to acknowledge Rich for fear of financial political retribution or throwback for being the one to set the house of cards to fall and in doing so expose the hypocrisy of their peers who were also payed by the Government to never cross the floor. This amounts to a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice involving multiple corrupt public officials, (including?) wherein the victimisation and oppression, driven by conscious malice, constitute a human rights abuse.

​

This human rights abuse has been documented by his NDIS worker. However, in line with the pattern of non-validation, the two NDIS companies he was associated with refuse to acknowledge it, which would legitimize his suffering and prompt an investigation. Adding insult to injury, the AHRC also refuses to investigate it. This corruption at the highest level makes it evident that other issues, such as Rich's work cover case at the AAT, which was ruled against him, were predetermined to fail.

​

Even the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet initially acknowledged his FOI request as 'voluminous' and 'complex,' only to later reject any data whatsoever, incorrectly asserting that 'no documents exist.' Any claim suggesting that this victimization was not a factor in his February 2021 suicide attempt inside Weribee Mercy Hospital is plainly ignorant of the facts. The attempt was deemed 'lethal,' and he was miraculously revived from certain death, now living with a brain impairment and a whitewashing of the tragedy that exonerates the liability of his oppressors.

​

Government departments, including Centrelink, the Tax Office, ASIO, AGIS, ASIC, and the Commonwealth Ombudsman, refuse to acknowledge or legitimize Rich's relationship with Steve Iasonidis, who worked for ASIO. Rich was exploited, and the Government was complicit in the abuse. Now that Rich has lost everything, the Government cruelly supports Iasonidis, relying on the apathy and disinterest of Rich's family and friends in his prosperity or happiness, despite their knowledge of the engagement between Rich and Iasonidis from 2011 to 2015.

​

"Surviving a Conspiracy: From Homelessness to a Near-Lethal Struggle for Justice"

 

I’m an infamous vagrant and a victim of a tyrannical Government oppression as a scapegoat. Funnily enough I am also a schizophrenic involved in a conspiracy with the secret service ASIO. I’m also currently homeless with no human rights, equality, dignity or money. I don’t have enough food or medicine. The same oppression happening now is the same kind that forced my suicide in February 2021. The attempt was so severe it was deemed ‘lethal’ in the hospital FOI and I was found by accident unresponsive with no observable pulse and subsequently revived from certain death. I refer to it as a conspiracy to murder. 

 

"Conspiracy to Subvert Justice: A Closer Look at My Struggles with Legal Representation and Work Cover Cases”

​

A conspiracy to pervert the course of justice was an is occurring, and its not hard to identify especially in retrospect: I can’t get a lawyer, I can’t go to police, I am a failed whistleblower. My former partner who exploited me and owes me a settlement worked for ASIO and the Government protect him via never acknowledging the relationship ever existed. That alone should be enough to persuade you on conspiracy. But there is much more: I’ve lost two work cover cases. The latest one in 2021 was shepherded by work safe to ComCare where I was not deemed to be an employee. I appealed at the AAT and despite my evidence from the federal court stating they are satisfied that I was an employee of DSS, the decision to reject me on that issue was upheld, unfairly defended by a high profile Government lawyer when I was locked out of legal help. Thats in defiance of the charter of human rights of a person with a disability. 

 

"Silenced by a Convenient AVO: My Battle with HCF and the Loss of My Home"

 

I am also blanket-black-banned from contacting my insurer HCF or I will be arrested by police because of a convenient AVO from an employee who’s name is unfamiliar and who I’ve never met and they point blank refuse to pay my income assist insurance. The entire contents of my home were destroyed as I was hospitalised for my ‘ingrained delusions of persecution’ and my protest at VCAT fell on deaf ears. 

 

"Systemic Injustice: Unjustly Dismissed as a Victim and Wrongfully Accused in a Violent Affray Case”

​

I was sexualised as a child considered sexual abuse but the geelong magistrate threw out the case citing me as ‘doomed to fail’. Similarly when I defended a member of the public in a violent affray I was violently attacked and hospitalised with broken bones and lacerations, but when I applied for my victims of crime it was me who was identified as the principal aggressor despite the entire incident being on camera and that it was me staying back with police doing the report. The easy way to prove this was to get my FOI from police but as well as mentioning a whole lot of crimes in my leap file I have no knowledge of, they refused to hand over the video evidence. 

 

"Life-Altering Consequences: Unaddressed Brain Impairment After Suicide Attempt"

 

My suicide attempt mentioned earlier resulted in a brain impairment that has maimed me affecting my memory and ability to organise myself and I never worked again but there was never a settlement and there is a whitewashing of the tragedy from Weribee Mercy hospital and many other agencies and further it was identified as an issue to the ombudsman but then despite the contraband used to slice my artery open it was assessed as not to be questioned. 

 

"Undermining Whistleblower Justice: The Pervasive Influence of a Powerful Government Lawyer”

​

The ombudsman and I are problematic because I had in prior years been opposed in a malpractice case by a very powerful lawyer who advises Government policy and informs what happens at the Ombudsman, where I am failed whistleblower. Its not hard to see, especially with my verified evidence that he employed enormous influence with money power and privilege to silence my evidence and even dictated that a written transcript of the said evidence also never be used in the case which meant my complaint ended up having no basis. Its easy now to demonstrate how he has acted with enormous privilege and power in a faceless and cowardly way in order to subvert any justice for me and this happened across quite a few Government agencies. 

 

"Banned, Blocked, and Ignored: A Helpless Whistleblower's Struggle for Justice”

​

But what’s a few small statutory authorities or agencies populated by corrupt public officials when you can ban me from every single main agency? To illustrate this I am also banned from phone or email contact from AFCA after my necessary financial determinations were initially delayed denied and deferred past the six weeks their own policy states of a financially marginalised person. The last attorney general Michaelia Cash merely referred me to the SANE helpline when I detailed to her corruption at AFCA and AHRC and correctly predicted that my workcover issue at the AAT was doomed to fail under a corrupt Government with pre determined outcomes. The next attorney general Mark Dreyfus somehow does not want to talk tome on the phone nor reply to my many emails. His office told me my work cover issue will not be intervened by the attorney general or their office can’t help. 

 

Systematic Rejection: The Ongoing Struggle for Transparency and Justice

​

My PID was rejected from there as well as from the health department, the federal court, the NDIS, ASIC, the office of prime minister and cabinet, and recently the DSS has been toying with me to provide more evidence I was a public official to qualify for a PID, so I did but then they blacklisted me from all communication. To try and find the reason for my legitimate oppression which has maliciously and intentionally redacted all of my prosperity coming to me, I appealed for my FOI from the office of prime minister and cabinet. First, via the OAIC they described needing more time as my FOI was ‘voluminious’ and ‘complex’, but then a total 180 was pulled and I got the result that ‘no documents exist.’ 

 

The Threats and Hypocrisy: Unmasking Corruption and Fear

​

This bleedingly obvious denial of a citizens legal right to his data and the hypocrisy of it was a blatant rejection of legitimising the relationship with Steve Iasonidis and in effect denying its existence and having his back. My whistleblowing apparently led to his corrupt finance being discovered after he embezzled a million dollars in an offshore tax haven and rather than accept responsibility for his corruption he has now threatened to kill me and the only thing I have left - my dog crystal. He threatened it via gay chat app Grindr and I have taken the screen snapshot to police but they said it didn’t prove anything, so the police are not people I can take my issues to. 

 

Surviving on the Edge: Escaping Oppression, Evading Surveillance

​

Under the threat of incarceration by themtntal health act, police also watched over years how I was robbed and then to avoid being incarcerated in a place I had died by people who didn’t care but oppressed me I was forced to leave my home and hide with my dog in hostels. One morning I took my dog for a wee and an out of control car literally ran my dog and I down in the street knocking me over injuring my dog and I who was also hit. I couldn’t stay for police as I would be imprisoned. I actually think though that the hit was deliberate because I was clearly on authorities radar and I believed they had known where I was. I had previously recorded footage of Government officials surveilling my home in Footscray so I had proved to myself beyond all doubt that I was legitimately being followed and under surveillance. 

 

Web of Deceit: When a Lifetime of Work Vanishes

​

Before I was scapegoated I worked on a personal and business website and crafted it over twenty years, but out of the blue Micron 21 the company with links to the Government emailed me telling my whole website and all its backups and emails was immediately deleted and that my email which was now destroyed had been blocked from sending them anything, that I was no longer a customer and goodbye. I tried to appeal at business.gov and the small business and family enterprise ombudsman and also at the telecommunications industry ombudsman but it was a familiar response of cleverly denying any action against my injustices. 

 

Justice Denied: A Tale of Unbelievable Human Rights Abuses

​

My unbelievable human rights abuses, my profound victimisation and systemic politicised oppression have been documented by my NDIS support worker, but neither any NDIS company will sign off on it that would legitimise it, and the AHRC refuse to investigate it and have now refused all correspondence. You would think the ombudsman is the way to sort this out, but alas I am a failed whistleblower there too and they have now refused all correspondence from me moving forward. Some day somewhere, it was decided that justice would universally evade me and that any money or prosperity coming to me had a bullet put in it.

 

Silenced by the System: From YouTube Protester to Forced Medication Victim

​

In my enormous distress of my prosperity being redacted and subjected to systemic gaslighting and black bangs from so many agencies and institutions I took to YouTube to protest and beg for financial assistance, but this has only served for people to witness my distress anonymously from afar and the entire mental health system reacted by force injecting with mind numbing anti psychotics - you know, for my ‘delusions of persecution.’  

 

Living a Nightmare: A Life of Psychological Torture and Deception

​

This movement has an undeniable malice and it aims to cause me harm and is not deterred by the immediate threat of suicide as a result of desperation and poverty but there is a cast of thousands of corrupt public officials who have all cleverly exonerated themselves from all responsibility and liability for my harm or death. The dialogue and language in the communications I now receive elongating my oppression via the conspiracy is reaching a threshold of the absurd and this life I have lived is one whereby I have been psychologically tortured and set up to fail, deceived in totality that has obliterated clear lines of what is possible and what is not.

 

Forgiveness Amidst Desolation: The Unyielding Quest for Justice”

​

No one it seems, can or will help me. Not a lawyer, not a politician, not an ombudsman, not the police, not mental health services, not a hospital, not my neighbours, not a friend, not Centrelink, not a bank, not the CDDC scheme, not the prime minister and neither my own mother. Something has to give in order for me to live. So i’ll forgive you all and the the situation. However that doesn’t exclude my detriments to be paid or the corruption to be exposed. I name names and present evidence. For I’m not dead and I’m grateful that life is never uneventful.

 

Desperation and Resolve: The Hunger Strike for Justice, Homelessness, and Hope

​

In the annals of my existence, where life has been a tumultuous tempest, I stand before you on the precipice of an agonizing decision—a hunger strike, set to commence on September 18, 2023. In this moment, I beseech you to lend an ear, for the narrative I bear is one riddled with strife, and my resolute quest for justice is fueled by the most harrowing of journeys. I am currently homeless due to the conspiracy I’ve always opposed. Without an intervention I’ll be forced apart from my faithful dog into a homeless shelter. With total justice I will donate much to charity and bankroll you your life and your charity for supporting me in this difficult time.

 

From Triumph to Tragedy: A Tale of Cruelty, Conspiracy, and Homelessness

​

The story I share is not one for the faint of heart, nor is it a tale that can be easily brushed aside. My ordeal is not merely a sequence of unfortunate events; it's an orchestrated symphony of cruelty, crafted with meticulous malevolence. The conspirators responsible for my agony operate with a brazenness that defies belief, shielded by a cloak of indifference from those who should, by all moral accounts, hold them to account. I am an infamous, homeless vagrant with no possible way to oppose my persecution and no way to earn money in a normal modality in order to be able to find a home to pay for and rent and simply have a place to be.

 

The Unyielding Grip of Systemic Oppression: Exposing a Calculated Conspiracy of Silence”

​

I find myself ensnared in a web of oppression so profound that the term "conspiracy of silence" falls woefully short in encapsulating its true essence. There is no secrecy here; this is a calculated conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, and its malevolent tendrils creep ever closer. As I send out this distress call, I implore you to understand that your continued inaction renders you complicit in the perpetuation of this wicked movement and that not acting harms me.

Defiance in the Face of Oppression: Unmasking the Names Behind the Silence”

 stand resolute, unwavering in my determination, and I want my oppressors to understand this unequivocally: I will not give in, and I will not back down. The names of those who have orchestrated my suffering, who believed that by redacting my prosperity or acting to my financial detriment, they could render me powerless, are etched in my memory. Even if their rejection and continued silence, two and a half years later, prove fatal, their names will be emblazoned in history as a testament to the toxic malice concealed beneath their veneer of false charm.

 

From Near Death to Relentless Advocacy: The Unforgivable Silence of the Perpetrators”

​

It's crucial to recognize that the ultimate harm they intended has already transpired, and I was revived from the brink of death only to be confronted with a whitewashing of the tragedy. Today, their silence in the face of my relentless advocacy, broadcasted openly on YouTube, speaks volumes. They cannot feign ignorance; they know that their actions, or rather inactions, are causing me immeasurable harm. This essay will be emailed to them warning I acknowledge their greed malice and deceit.

 

Words as Weapons: The Writer's Vow to Immortalize Injustice”

​

Let me be crystal clear: Whether they like it or not, they are not dealing with an ordinary individual. They have unwittingly crossed paths with a writer, and writers have an uncanny ability to immortalise events and individuals. Whether alive or dead, they will be forever shamed for their insatiable greed and involvement in this sinister conspiracy. This is their opportunity, a chance to settle with me in a fair and equitable manner, for the alternative is a legacy of infamy as abusers of a marginalised person—one I will ensure they can never escape or forget. They have exploited, taken advantage of, and conspired against me with an audacious conceit, and at this stage, their concerns will never take precedence in my intentions.

 

Accountability Begins with Acknowledgment: A Plea for Action”

​

If you can’t help me then don’t hurt me, but when it comes to these named people if they do not make an offer for a way forward in earnest then their inaction alone hurts me, and all people who are made aware of this issue and don’t hold the abusers to account or the conspirators to account are also complicit in causing harm.

​

Uncovering the Web of Deceit: The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's Disturbing Contradiction”

​

The blatant contradiction presented by the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is nothing short of a gross miscarriage of justice. Initially, they described my Freedom of Information (FOI) request as "voluminous" and "complex," indicating the existence of pertinent documents. However, their subsequent assertion that these documents "do not exist" defies reason and raises significant concerns. This is especially alarming when one considers the undeniable facts of my life and experiences that should undoubtedly be documented within their records.

 

I have a history that cannot be ignored. My former partner's connection to ASIO is a matter of record, and my own professional journey includes employment as a news graphics artist and cartoonist at reputable newspapers like The Herald Sun and The Age. I have successfully completed a controversial PhD doctorate, traveled extensively as a human rights-awarded autobiographer and mental health advocate, and gained recognition and merit at local, state, national, and international levels, across various media platforms, including radio and television.

 

Obstruction of Justice: Unraveling the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's Calculated Suppression”

​

This level of document suppression speaks volumes and can only be interpreted as a deliberate act. The reason behind this suppression leads directly to the fact that my former partner, who is an ASIO agent, owes me a settlement. The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet knows that any legitimate documentation of our relationship, which endured for five years, would pave the way for an equitable, fair, and legally binding settlement. Therefore, their actions are not merely administrative errors but a calculated attempt to obstruct justice.

 

Justice Denied: The Ongoing Struggle for Legal Representation and Fair Treatment”

​

Compounding the injustice is the impossibility of securing legal representation. I have been systematically locked out of accessing legal counsel, facing rejections and bans, such as my ban at AFCA and rejection at the AHRC. I actively pursued justice through work cover cases at the AAT, but my attempts were met with predetermined, oppressive movements that consistently redacted my prosperity.

 

Seeking Justice: When Government Officials Turn a Blind Eye to Corruption”

​

To illustrate the gravity of the situation, I brought my concerns about systemic corruption to the attention of Michaelia Cash. I outlined the corruption within AFCA and AHRC in a letter to her, predicting that my AAT case would follow the same pattern of failure due to the overarching oppressive movement. Regrettably, she refused to intervene and directed me to a crisis service helpline when I explicitly sought meaningful political intervention to facilitate the payment of the work cover settlement. Her refusal inadvertently became evidence of the systemic corruption I had detailed in my letter.

 

The Prime Minister's Office Cover-Up: A Disturbing Betrayal of Democracy”

​

The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's cover-up of evidence concerning my FOI request is deeply troubling. It underscores the idea that key political stakeholders and public officials are colluding for a nefarious purpose. This evidence of a cover-up, gaslighting, and the non-acknowledgment of my rights as a democratic citizen with a clean criminal record and a disability reinforces the notion that I am rendered inconsequential when seeking to access the law and engage with government departments. This situation is an affront to justice, and it must be exposed and rectified.

 

 

The Conspiracy's Reach: How Even Family Bonds Have Been Fractured”

​

It is with a heavy heart that I must reveal that even within the sanctuary of my own family, the sinister conspiracy has cast its malevolent shadow. While it's true that I may have upset my sister and brother with words I've spoken, I wholeheartedly acknowledge my imperfections, and I firmly believe that forgiveness is a virtue we should all aspire to. However, what I find truly disheartening is their unwavering refusal to acknowledge me or engage in dialogue despite any past disagreements. This refusal, framed by the broader conspiracy that seeks to harm me, reflects an imbalanced level of anger and a willingness to hold onto grievances to my detriment.

 

The Unraveling of Familial Bonds: A Conspiracy's Subtle Influence”

​

While the term 'conspiracy' may initially sound like a weighty accusation, the undeniable truth lies within their actions. Even my mother, whose intentions may appear supportive through gestures such as purchasing food for me (which I genuinely appreciate), has inadvertently played a role in my ongoing struggle. She, too, has fallen victim to the overarching machinations of a larger plot, whether unknowingly or now deliberately choosing not to acknowledge the grand conspiracy that ensnared the lawyer she sought on my behalf. It is a chilling revelation that underscores an insidious intent—to permit the abuse, corruption, and conspiracy to continue unchecked, knowingly, until I am pushed to the precipice of despair. This could manifest as homelessness, the threat of suicide, or even worse, and then to incarcerate me as a means of shielding our privileged family's reputation. When the world, including one's own family, collectively turns a blind eye until a crisis looms, only then resorting to the mental health sector out of obligation due to the character assassination I've endured, the scale of failure becomes undeniably apparent.

​

The Elusive Promise of the NDIS: Banned and Denied Support”

​

Upon my release from institutional captivity, I find myself inevitably funneled towards local mental health services or the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). While the NDIS plan theoretically has the capacity to provide medium-term accommodation or emergency respite, regrettably, this support was neither granted nor released. Every NDIS participant is entitled to choice and control, with a designated contact person at the NDIS, yet I have been banned from even knowing the names of the public officials at the NDIS or given their email addresses for communication.

 

The Government's Betrayal of Human Rights: Ignoring the Plight of the Disabled”

​

It is deeply disheartening that the government has witnessed my persecution, homelessness, and rejection into a homeless shelter. This is in direct contradiction to the Charter of Human Rights for a Person with a Disability, a law ratified by the government in 2008, which unequivocally states that reasonable accommodation must be provided for a person with a disability. Despite this legal obligation, these entities offer me but a fraction of the support I so desperately require.

 

From Distress to Detainment: A Twisted Response to a Cry for Help”

​

Their approach seems to operate under the assumption that life's essentials, such as sustenance and shelter, are readily available elsewhere. However, my life is anything but ordinary, and the dire straits in which I find myself are not the result of apathy, mental frailty, personal flaws, or feebleness. It's worth noting that my last hospitalization was a consequence of Bill Shorten's office calling the police, who forcibly entered my residence at 3 a.m., cuffed me, and transported me to a hospital for a two-week incarceration. This was in response to my candid email expressing the distress of my prosperity and my risk of homelessness, emphasizing that I had already experienced death.

 

NDIS Failures: A Critical Examination of the Supported Independent Living Package Assessment”

​

The NDIS is currently exploring a Supported Independent Living package that would facilitate housing for me. However, the occupational therapist's report, crucial for determining the level of care needed for the package, failed to consider or examine me in person. Instead, it relied on outdated hospital records that concealed my tragic suicide attempt. Shockingly, the report suggested that I required a mere 25 hours of support per year, a conclusion that raises questions about the integrity of the occupational therapist involved. This calculation seemed deliberately designed to deprive me of the necessary funds for accommodation.

 

Defiance Through Hunger: A Desperate Plea for Justice and Accountability”

​

I beseech you to understand that I have not intentionally cast anyone aside, nor is my present plight emblematic of personal shortcomings or mental frailty. My hunger strike is a poignant act of defiance against an insurmountable system—a desperate plea for change and justice. Those who are responsible for my affliction—individuals and institutions bearing names such as Steve Iasonidis, Russell Ball, the PID at DSS, the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Attorney General Mark Dreyfus, AAT, AFCA, AHRC, Werribee Mercy Hospital, and Dr. David Horgan—must be held to account unequivocally. The longer they are not held to account, the more famous I will make them and highlight humanities universal forsaking of me.

 

A Plea to the Watchful Media

 

My urgent plea extends to media outlets of repute, including The Age, The Herald Sun, The Independent, Crikey, and The Guardian. I beseech you, as someone who once contributed my artistic talents to both The Herald Sun and The Age, to cast a searing spotlight on this nefarious conspiracy that seeks to pervert the course of justice. In the past, I have reached out to news outlets, laying bare my plight, only to be met with deafening silence. However, the sheer weight of evidence I possess now demands attention. Regardless of personal sentiment towards me, it becomes impossible to ignore a conspiracy involving the Prime Minister's office that borders on attempted murder.

​

Defying the Darkness: A Hunger Strike for Justice and Accountability”

​

It is of utmost importance to stress that I am neither suicidal nor mentally unwell. My resolve to embark on this hunger strike remains steadfast. The perpetrators responsible for the torment I have endured can no longer evade the consequences of their actions; justice must prevail. If not, my voice may be silenced forever, but the legacy of these malicious, greedy co-conspirators who exploited a disabled individual will be immortalized for all to see.

 

The Calculated Cowardice of Those Responsible

 

The Puppeteers of Persecution: Unveiling the Enablers of a Vicious Conspiracy”

​

At the core of this malevolent conspiracy are the calculated actions of powerful key political stakeholders who have orchestrated and perpetuated my suffering. On one hand, they relentlessly seek to obliterate me, and on the other, they cleverly distance themselves from any accountability. Individuals like Russell Ball and Steve Iasonidis have played their role in orchestrating my downfall and have now chosen the path of deafening silence, despite my public pleas for justice. They operate with impunity, secure in the knowledge that friends and family will not challenge them, be it due to geographical separation, personal apprehensions, the fear of facing repercussions or political persecution, or the pervasive habit of passing judgment, which is, unfortunately, a common human trait.

 

Unraveling the Complex Threads: From Doctorate to Scapegoat”

​

Moreover, it seems that there is an element of "chopping down the tall poppy" at play here when it comes to people not intervening. People often encounter individuals who have achieved a doctorate and assume that their success is an unassailable pinnacle. However, the delight some derive from watching a perceived smart person fail is disheartening and I wonder peoples intentions in allowing me to suffer. In my case, this narrative is compounded by the fact that I candidly addressed my past actions and perceptions in my autobiography, where I grappled with the complexities of consensual but regrettable sexual encounters when I was young. Maybe this is the real reason I am the scapegoat I often think, and after all the event occurred at the local police and fireman’s breakup and I have had a terrible relationship with police over my life who always vilify me for illness and avoid all other issues that they could investigate if they wanted to, This guilt of losing my virginity was entwined with my struggles regarding my own sexuality, particularly the burden of being sexualised as a child—an experience I have not spoken of and concealed until the age of 44. Sadly, my narrative of my childhood tragedy was met with silence and non-acknowledgment. In any case I offered repeated apologies to the girl in question, who unwittingly became a recurring figure and muse in the tapestry of my life and she did not raise any concerns or objections. I understand her perspective, as well if she did feel deceived by me in the sexuality I found hard to assimilate at the time. If I am a rapist - and I’m not and have never acted with any violent malice - then arrest me.

​

A Chilling Trail of Persecution

 

This narrative serves as a passionate plea against the prevailing silence and the cruel intent to sacrifice me, rather than acknowledging the debt owed to me or admitting liability for the harm inflicted upon me. The rejection of my WorkCover claim by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), marked by its glaring pre-determined nature, seamlessly aligns with the proven conspiracy to pervert the course of justice that has plagued my life. This decision not only reeks of injustice but blatantly violates the Charter of Human Rights for people with disabilities, which explicitly states that I must have equality before the law and access to it. I've been deliberately locked out of acquiring the legal representation I rightfully deserve, a right enshrined in law since its ratification by the Government in 2008.

 

Conspiring Against Justice: Unmasking the Roles of Kate Watson and Member Purnell”

​

Kate Watson, the lawyer for the Government, has displayed a shameful disregard for her professional responsibilities. She is well aware that my fight has been characterized by its inequity, injustice, unfairness, and illegality, as a high-profile lawyer. Furthermore, she knows that my case stands in direct defiance of the charter, which she has chosen to ignore. Member Purnell, a senior member at the AAT, is equally culpable for overseeing a process that flagrantly disregarded my rights and allowed a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice to continue unchecked.

 

Legal Betrayal: John Boyle's Shocking Actions in My Hour of Need”

​

The duplicity of my own lawyer, Mr. John Boyle of MD Law, is deeply troubling. He spent over six months collecting evidence from me, only to abandon me the day before the hearing and subsequently refused all communication except for an email to Miranda Holt of Guidestar. In this email, he demanded an exorbitant sum of $50,000 in exchange for my extensive evidence. His deceitful motives, leading me along and then extorting money from me despite being well aware of my vulnerable and marginalized position, are reprehensible. To further underline the gravity of this situation, he took a homeless and persecuted individual with a mental illness and cognitive brain impairment, leaving me in a state of perpetual distress. He not only accepted all of my evidence but refused to take any action or seek a resolution for my political persecution. He deliberately avoided engaging in any attempts to address the conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, even when I insisted on pursuing this matter at the high court. Instead, he did nothing and is now extorting money from me, well aware that I do not possess the financial means to meet his unjust demands. His behavior represents a clear case of taking advantage of a marginalized individual, and it is utterly reprehensible.

 

My Unveiled Story

 

From Award-Winning Author to Homelessness: The Unforgiving Journey of a Former Journalist”

​

My tale unfolds as one fraught with adversity—living amidst the specter of family violence, grappling with the weight of schizophrenia, ADHD, adjustment disorder, and cognitive impairment. On paper, I am officially classified as homeless, despite NDIS funding ostensibly earmarked for accommodation. A celebrated author of an award-winning autobiography on mental illness, I once toiled earnestly as a journalist, only to face vilification and the subsequent loss of my job at The Age due to the Herald Sun's campaign against me which vilified me for madness. SANE Australia and Victorian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission awarded me their ‘Book of the year’ in 2002 and also a human rights award but as my story changed from willing advocate in which I was welcomed recounting my story of mental illness to a dire situation of realising I was exploited and involved in a conspiracy that they were not willing to intervene. I actually needed their advocacy and services yet they remained bystanders in my time of need. Who was I kidding, I just remembered that when I was illegally fired from The Age, the VHREOC were called in to advocate for me regarding my termination and they encouraged me to accept a measly $7000 when I had planned to work at The Age for the next fifteen or twenty years and the figure was obviously much higher.

 

The Unraveling of a Peaceful Life: From Creativity to Conspiracies”

​

Yet, despite the trials and tribulations that have besieged my path, my life was once a tapestry woven with creativity and tranquility. It was only when rich and influential figures came to owe me their financial dues—predicated on ethical issues surrounding a general practitioner, supported by a formidable lawyer who advises Government policy and advises the ombudsman —that the tides began to turn. The fact is when I endeavored to secure a settlement from my former partner the former ASIO employee, and that I had blown the whistle on my website about his corruption and also that he admitted to me that in his drug dealing days that he was present at at least two murders, he was instrumental in acting to get me incarcerated. It was no coincidence that I have been incarcerated less than a week twice or three times now immediately after demanding my dues from his lawyer. I have been a victim of persecution in a political way solely because of these two people and my narrative is again complicated because f my public profile and my self identification with schizophrenia.

From Denial to Deceit: The Sinister Saga with Sheena jack and HCF”

​

The situation with HCF, my insurer, has taken a dark turn that, in retrospect, seems all too familiar. Initially, they denied liability for my income protection insurance, but their actions grew increasingly malevolent over time. They orchestrated a situation where one of their staff members filed an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) against me, and the police warned me that any contact with HCF could result in my arrest. This was a ludicrous scenario, as I had no knowledge of the individual involved, and their name remained entirely unfamiliar to me.

 

HCF's Calculated Deceit: A Kafkaesque Battle for Justice”

​

HCF, a company well-equipped with a team of legal experts dedicated exclusively to insurance matters, thus created a new obstacle preventing me from seeking the justice I believe I'm owed for income assistance. I possessed documented evidence from my GP confirming that, in the years leading up to my hospitalization, my appointments were exclusively for sexual health check-ups and did not involve discussions of mental illness. Moreover, I had been able to carry out daily life duties without hindrance until January 2021, when I was hospitalized following my suicide attempt. In my protests, I wrote to HCF's CEO, Sheena Jack, providing evidence that certain documents were created as PDFs with timestamps that aligned with when they should have been produced. Sheena responded by refusing all correspondence, well aware that I had been denied access to legal representation and that my access to justice had been obstructed.

 

HCF's Manipulation: Predetermined Outcomes and the Denial of Justice”

​

To underscore the corruption at play, HCF informed me that they would promptly pay out my insurance policy if I had an accepted work cover claim for the same injury. The issue was never whether I had sustained an injury at work; it was the matter of my classification as an employee under the SRC Act that impeded my work cover entitlements, despite my evidence suggesting otherwise. When I informed HCF of this, they simply chose to ignore me. It seems as though HCF had prior knowledge that my work cover case would be rejected and directed me there with the foresight that it would fail. This suggests pre-determined outcomes for settlements that I rightfully deserve.

 

Blacklisted and Banned: The Desperate Tactics of Denying Justice”

​

Banning a customer from contacting their business, especially when the customer is still paying premiums, is unacceptable. Any attempt to reach out to them results in immediate disconnection. I've been accused of maliciously intending to extort money, which couldn't be further from the truth. I've never engaged in extortion; rather, I've sought what is rightfully mine when I've paid my dues and have been covered. Looking back, the blacklisting and bans from contacting organizations like AFCA, ComCare, and Worksafe, among others, demonstrate a deliberate methodology to deny justice and the payment of what is due. This behavior is unfair, impolite, and exposes their hope that I would eventually give up due to the relentless hurdles. However, my persistence has prevailed, and they are resorting to a "just ban him" approach, indicating their growing desperation as they realize that they cannot oppose my unwavering determination to expose their eventual liability and demand the debt be paid.

 

 

A Scholar and Advocate From Artistic Expression to Advocacy: A Journey of Resilience"

 

My life has been a testament to resilience and altruism. I embarked on a journey of academia, earning a merit-based Ph.D. doctorate in 2020 and I completed the doctorate. My advocacy spanned realms both local, federal and international, championing the marginalized pope suffering mental illness and their carers. I also dedicated myself to the world of art, earning accolades and scholarships, and exhibiting locally and nationally and also internationally. In my life as a truth speaker and seeker I readily acknowledge my own imperfections and embracing authenticity - that is where the conflict exists and thats where the art and passions come from. Everything we enjoy from creativity has its genesis in an artists creative process which is universally about the struggle the conflict and then the creative resolution of the issue at hand. Later in life art has become less for me and writing has become more and in a way my whole life has been somewhat of a canvas in an allegorical way.

Altruism vs. Self-Interest: A Stark Contrast in Society”

​

Compare my altruistic endeavors with the actions of corrupt politicians, lawyers, and public figures who prioritize self-interest over the greater good and only dedicate their time intelligence and processes for the comfortable wage afforded to them by the Government to tow the party line. It requires no great courage to avert one's gaze from my human suffering, with the knowledge that injustice has occurred all the while safeguarding one's comfort and prosperity. Thats why almost all public officials are sheeple - peeps who follow the Government leaders in the comforts of being paid a comfortable wage and soak in their privilege. You know what I’ve never had that and everything I have I have worked damn hard for and mostly been exploited for it as an artist and advocate and further Ive had to move house over thirty times in thirty years! However if I had the choice to live a cushy comfortable yet unchallenged mediocre life following the leader having sold my free will and critical independent thought I would choose mine any day.

 

Systematic Denial of Prosperity: Unveiling the Conspiracy's Calculated Actions”

​

My prosperity has intentionally been withheld from me over the years, as estimated in the table provided. By examining these examples, it becomes evident that this continuous denial of prosperity from various sources cannot be merely chalked up to bad luck. This strongly supports the validity of my claims regarding a nefarious conspiracy being in operation. Figures are grossly underestimated estimates or otherwise accurate figures

 

HCF income assist $75000

Work Cover from 2004, $100000

Work Cover from 2021, $720000

Settlement with former partner, $330000

Settlement from brain injury sustained in hospital under a duty of care,  $100000

Settlement from an incorrectly paid TPD case from 2008, $83000

A case with bendigo bank for fraudulent transactions,  $19000

Loss of income from my business www.richmclean.com.au being destroyed,  $100000

Losing my job at NDIS,                                    -

The contents of my house were disposed of,   $50000

Not being compensated via the CDDC scheme,                        -

 

That's a few million dollars, if I am not mistaken. Add an additional fee for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice resulting in death. This situation has arisen due to persecution stemming from three main sources:

•     The legal fraternity's denial of representation.

•     Institutional neglect, as I am refused acknowledgment or fair treatment.

•     My family and friends not intervening in the previous two points and subsequently attributing my distress to mental illness when I suffer from poverty.

Conclusion: A Cry for Justice Amidst Persecution and Conspiracy

 

My persecution is undeniably orchestrated, a calculated effort to shield the perpetrators from accountability, even at the risk of harm or death to me. This disconcerting reality cries out for justice. My story is a fervent plea for recognition and redress from those complicit in my persecution. To turn a blind eye to these pleas is to perpetuate a grave injustice, one that should never be tolerated. When justice prevails, it will restore my faith in this corrupt system that has deceived me. While it may not fully rectify all the harm, I continue to fight, believing in the underdog and the everyday maverick. I hope that through this pursuit of justice, I will connect with others facing similar challenges and support each other in our quests. Thus, I have decided not to eat until this impenetrable wall of oppression and conspiracy, which has caused me immense suffering, is breached to provide me with basic needs: housing, food, medicine, and prosperity.

​

I find myself in a challenging situation, known to many as an infamous vagrant and a victim of oppressive government actions. I am unjustly labeled as a scapegoat, all while grappling with schizophrenia and being entangled in a conspiracy with the secret service ASIO. Currently homeless, I am stripped of my human rights, equality, dignity, and financial means. The harsh oppression I endure now mirrors the circumstances that drove me to attempt suicide in February 2021, an attempt so severe that it was considered "lethal," and I was miraculously revived from the brink of certain death. I can only describe it as a conspiracy to murder. The antagonists have cleverly avoided responsibility or liability, but they continue to obstruct my prosperity and refuse communication or acknowledgment, demonstrating their malicious intent. They are fully aware of the existential risk to my life.

​

Unfortunately, it seems that no one, whether a lawyer, politician, ombudsman, police, mental health services, hospital, neighbors, friends, Centrelink, bank, CDDC scheme, the Prime Minister, or even my own mother, can or will provide the help I desperately need. I am facing severe shortages of food and medicine, with no viable solution in sight. Something must change for me to have a chance at survival. Therefore, I choose to forgive all those involved and the situation itself. However, this forgiveness does not negate the need for reparations for the harm done to me or the exposure of corruption. I am not dead, and I am thankful for the unpredictable nature of life. I've experienced a lot in my life, but never a hunger strike.
