Dear The Hon Emma McBride MP

​

I am Dr. Rich McLean, and I pen this letter to you with a profound sense of urgency and hope. My life has been marred by a relentless cycle of victimization, injustice, and persecution, orchestrated by powerful forces that seek to bury the truth and deny me the justice I deserve. In this time of desperate need, I turn to you, as mental health minister, to lend your voice, influence, and power to intervene in this deeply troubling situation.

​

I have endured unimaginable hardships, facing discrimination, vilification, and the destruction of my work, possessions, and personal well-being. Institutions, authorities, and individuals who should protect and serve have turned a blind eye to my pleas for justice, leaving me isolated, voiceless, and disregarded. But in you, I see a glimmer of hope, a beacon of change in a sea of apathy and indifference.

​

I implore you to listen to my story, to consider the overwhelming evidence that I have tirelessly gathered, and to take decisive action on my behalf. Your intervention has the potential to expose the conspiracy aimed at distorting justice and bring those responsible to account. By doing so, you will not only restore my faith in the system but also send a powerful message that the powerful cannot act with impunity.

​

Your role as a a parliamentarian with the mental health portfolio  grants you the power to champion the cause of justice, to hold the corrupt accountable, and to ensure that the voice of the marginalized is heard. I beseech you to embrace this responsibility and stand beside me in this fight for truth and fairness. Your intervention can be a catalyst for change, a force that dismantles the structures that enable oppression and paves the way for a society where justice prevails.

​

I understand the challenges you face and the pressures of your position, but I urge you not to let fear or complacency hinder your commitment to justice. Your actions today will shape the lives of countless individuals who have suffered similar injustices, providing them with hope and the belief that their voices matter.

​

Please, do not let my story be silenced or brushed aside. I implore you to use your power and influence to ensure that justice prevails, that the truth is unearthed, and that the oppressive forces that have sought to destroy me are held accountable.

I entrust my story and my faith in your hands, with the belief that you will rise above the challenges and act as an unwavering advocate for justice. Together, we can bring about the change that our society so desperately needs.

​

Thank you for your attention, your compassion, and your dedication to serving the people. May your intervention mark a turning point in my life, where justice triumphs over oppression and truth prevails against falsehood.

​

Sincerely,

​

Dr. Rich McLean

Dr. Rich McLean's harrowing ordeal represents a conspiracy aimed at distorting justice, resulting in reprehensible victimization. Regrettably, as a misunderstood scapegoat, he was brought perilously close to death, but was revived from a certain fate. This deeply personal account serves as a vivid embodiment of his experiences. In a spirit of forgiveness, all parties involved are granted absolution.

​

Introduction:

​

I am Dr. Rich McLean, a multifaceted individual known for my diverse talents and accomplishments. However, in recent years, I have also become a target of relentless victimization and injustice. As an award-winning author, autobiographer, artist, advocate, academic, and mental health campaigner, I have encountered both vibrant experiences and challenging circumstances. Yet, I have been subjected to deliberate vilification and enduring adversity. Despite the immense hardships I have faced, I remain resilient and committed to rising above the injustices I have encountered. I demand accountability from my oppressors and seek rightful compensation for the many detriments I have suffered.

​

This website serves as a platform to showcase my artistic talent, passion, illustrations, determination, and ethical compass. It aims to shed light on my life, conversations, and creations while also seeking justice for the numerous detriments I have endured and exposing the systematic victimization inflicted upon me by the government and other powerful authorities.

I firmly believe that the new national Anti-Corruption Commission, commencing on July 1, 2023, must thoroughly investigate the issues I raise here. I remain hopeful for a resolution or compromise to my impasse. At the very least, I hope an investigation will result in intervention to ensure my basic needs, such as food, medicine, and shelter, are met. Additionally, this website and document seek to protect me from further oppression and victimization, including coercive financial control stemming from family violence.

​

Today's date is June 30, 2023, and the title of this statement is "The Enduring Struggle of Victimisation and Injustice." As a guiding scripture, I refer to Ephesians 6:12 from the King James Version: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” I felt it aptly resonates with my experiences.

​

Throughout my tumultuous life, I have faced unrelenting adversity, resulting in a distressing and challenging predicament. Currently, obtaining legal representation has become an insurmountable obstacle for me. As a whistleblower, my pleas for justice have been resoundingly rejected, and I have encountered an impenetrable shield of law enforcement. There have been instances where the police forced me out of my home and oversaw the destruction of my belongings. Shockingly, both the Prime Minister's office and law enforcement authorities have callously disregarded my valid requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act, leaving me without crucial support and hindering my ability to fully comprehend the cause and extent of my victimization. I emphasize that victimization is against the law and has caused significant harm in all aspects of my life.

Armed with this essay and the accompanying evidence, my intention is to rationally demonstrate a disturbing pattern of persecution, victimization, and oppression that specifically targets me. I aim to expose a provable conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, revealing disclosable conduct of many public officials. This deeply personal narrative is driven by malicious intent and orchestrated by faceless political stakeholders, with the purpose of causing me harm, obstructing any potential for prosperity, dismantling the structures that once facilitated my progress, and solely defining me as "ill" to vilify me while disregarding all other contributing factors to my situation. Sadly, my rights as a person with a disability, as outlined in the Charter of Human Rights, have been shattered.

​

The evidence I present here uncovers a deliberate and calculated campaign designed to inflict personal harm upon me. It reveals a deliberate strategy to impede my prosperity, undermine the foundations that supported my growth, and intentionally stigmatize me as mentally ill. This vilification seeks to isolate and marginalize me from society, disregarding any other aspects of my identity or experiences. While some may find my story unbelievable, it is the harsh reality I confront. As a person diagnosed with schizophrenia, I find myself caught in a distressing struggle of family violence with a former ASIO employee who has threatened to kill both me and my dog due to my whistleblowing efforts that exposed his dishonest finances. It is easy for others to dismiss my claims as mere delusions due to my condition. However, the facts I present support the seemingly fantastical nature of my story.

​

Even more astonishing is the involvement of the Prime Minister's office. Initially, they acknowledged the sheer volume and complexity of my requested Freedom of Information, describing it as 'voluminous' and 'complex.' However, they now refuse to comply, stating that the requested documents do not exist. If they did, they would have revealed the secret narrative of my relationship with various statutory authorities, my public profile, and my former partner who worked for ASIO.

​

Unfortunately, seeking help from the police is not a viable option for me. As a failed whistleblower without legal representation, I find myself trapped in a predicament. My situation is further complicated by being psychometrically profiled by the government and framed by a powerful lawyer as an extortionist who wields influence over government policy and the Ombudsman. Regrettably, my attempts to blow the whistle at the Ombudsman's office have been neglected, with no response to my concerns and a refusal for further communication.

​

Authorities seem to recognize my name for a tangible reason. I have a public profile, having worked as an illustrator for major media outlets The Herald Sun and The Age, and I have traveled across the country as a public speaker, including speaking inside the Australian Parliament in my advocacy role for SANE Australia. My art has also reached a wider audience, and a documentary about my life and art was even produced by The Dax Collection.

​

I am aware that my story may raise suspicions of grandiosity or delusion. However, I assure you that the article I am preparing for the federal anti-corruption committee on July 1st is supported by verifiable facts. The truth, in this case, is indeed stranger than fiction. While psychiatrists may diagnose me with ingrained delusions of persecution, the harsh reality I face includes homelessness, starvation, and being owed significant sums of money that have been consciously and maliciously withheld from me through systemic and politicized means.

​

The events I have experienced cannot be attributed solely to "bad luck." They are concrete and verifiable facts, and my intention is to present them as such.

​

My workers' compensation impairments claim in 2006 was never paid. An incorrect amount of TPD (Total and Permanent Disability) was paid in 2008 and never rectified. There was never a settlement from my wealthy ex-partner in 2015. My HCF (Health Insurance) income assist was rejected in 2021. My workers' compensation was never paid in 2021 until this present day. This is because ComCare rejected it on account of me not being a ‘public official’ for the purposes of the SRC act. However, in a rejected whistleblower statement from The Federal Court, Scott Treadwell stated he was satisfied that I am or was an employee of DSS. If my workers' compensation fails at the AAT where the decision is reserved, and I continue living in poverty, I get to appeal at The Federal Court. They already acknowledge that I am an ‘employee’ for the purposes of the SRC act. So where is the compensation? And if it fails altogether, where else would my workers' compensation have been covered?

​

These events, along with the evidence I present, paint a distressing and concerning picture, highlighting a series of injustices, cover-ups, and a lack of consideration for my well-being, rights, and personal property.

​

To make matters worse, I have made desperate attempts to seek assistance from various organizations, including AFCA and WorkSafe, but I have been unjustly banished, further isolating me. It is astonishing and disheartening that even politicians, who should be the voice of the people, have chosen to ignore my pleas, leaving me feeling abandoned and without a voice. Every advocacy organization I approach hesitates to support me, paralyzed by the fear of potential reprisals. The weight of oppression I bear as a mentally ill gay individual is unbearable, with years of persecution and torment haunting my every moment. The authorities, under the pretense of upholding the Mental Health Act and the law, have coerced me into fleeing from my hometown, forcefully uprooting my life. This is persecution. This is victimization.

​

I am trapped in a cycle of systemic and politically motivated financial oppression. My prospects for compensation or settlement have been ruthlessly taken away. My possessions have been destroyed, and the perpetrators operate with impunity, shielded by power and influence. I urge the world to expose the truth and dismantle these oppressive systems. I am targeted due to my public profile, academic achievements, and connections to the Australian Secret Service. No one seems willing to address this injustice, including neighbors, friends, family, authorities, lawyers, or even the Prime Minister. I have evidence of the oppression and harassment I face. I refuse to remain silent and will fight for justice.

​

It has been a hard road. I have endured distressing experiences, including incarceration and a suicide attempt that resulted in brain impairment. I have faced discrimination, negative portrayals, and the destruction of my work and personal belongings. Institutions have dismissed my disclosures, and the legal system has failed me. I have been threatened and attacked, and the mental health system has dismissed my experiences. The conspirators seek to destroy me and cover up their actions. I demand justice, compensation, and the exposure of the truth.

​

Despite overwhelming opposition, I remain determined and authentic. I refuse to conform and be broken. The conspiracy against me is aimed at assassinating my character and limiting my chances of survival. In a capitalist society, money is necessary to meet basic needs. I navigate this treacherous world, fasting as a skill due to lack of food and begging for basic needs to be met, but I will not be silenced.

​

I have experienced discrimination, vilification, and job loss due to sharing my experiences with schizophrenia. The stigma attached to mental illness is harmful. Despite these setbacks, I have remained dedicated to my studies, creativity, and advocacy. I will overcome obstacles and fight for justice and change.

​

Unfortunately, my prospects for compensation or settlement have been taken away, and my possessions have been destroyed. The perpetrators operate with impunity, protected by power and influence. I have endured distressing experiences, including incarceration and a suicide attempt that was deemed 'fatal' but I was revived, resulting in brain impairment. I have faced discrimination, negative portrayals, and the destruction of my work and belongings. Institutions have dismissed my disclosures, and the legal system has failed to provide justice. I have faced threats and attacks, and the mental health system has dismissed my experiences. The conspirators seek to destroy me and cover up their actions. I demand justice, compensation, and the exposure of the truth. I cannot rest until that happens or at least a conciliation with which I have a life worth living in some comfort and safety.

​

For years, I have suffered harm and exploitation as part of a conspiracy that undermines justice. The perpetrators avoid accountability, and those I sought help from have been ineffective. The harm stems from shame, stigma, discrimination, and envy. I demand justice and seek to expose those responsible.

​

As a targeted individual with a prominent profile and connections to the Australian Secret Service, I have faced obstruction and harm from multiple individuals. Authorities and institutions, including law enforcement, the Prime Minister, and government officials, have failed to address the injustice I have experienced. This distressing situation originated from an insignificant event that grew into a vast conspiracy involving high-ranking individuals. Extensive evidence proves the intentional oppression and coordinated harassment I face.

​

I have been neglected by institutions like AFCA, Worksafe, ComCare, and the Health Department. My redress scheme for institutional child sexual abuse potential compensation has been delayed and denied, leading to prolonged homelessness. I have faced bullying from law enforcement, restricted access to NDIS funds, rejection as a whistleblower, and death threats from a former partner. The mental health system has dismissed my broad experiences but vilified me only by identifying my illness, and violent attacks have even occurred within hospital walls.

​

The oppressive forces fear my ability to uncover their actions and resort to psychological torture and the destruction of my life. I refuse to conform to societal norms, and although I am isolated, I persist with unwavering determination and the desire for accountability.

​

In 2004, The Herald Sun vilified me, and I was unjustly dismissed from The Age shortly after sharing my experiences with schizophrenia via my autobiography and an article titled ‘MY DESCENT INTO MADNESS’ was published in the Sunday paper. The stigma surrounding mental illness has been detrimental, but I remain committed to my studies, creativity, and advocacy for mental health awareness against seemingly insurmountable odds.

​

I refuse to be crushed by the weight of betrayal and injustice that has been inflicted upon me. Despite the government's attempt to shield my former partner from accountability, I will not be silenced or overshadowed. I am determined to expose the truth and fight against the malicious tactics employed against me. I refuse to surrender my agency or allow others to control the trajectory of my life. I will seek the necessary advocacy to address my needs and regain control over my own destiny. No matter the challenges that lie ahead, I will not back down.

​

Though they operate with cunning anonymity, I will not allow their actions to keep me in the shadows. The challenges I faced in pursuing justice were formidable, but they only fueled my determination to expose the truth.

​

I acknowledge my own role in my downfall, recognizing the moments when I gave in to temporary pleasures and indulgences. However, it is disheartening to see every accomplishment I achieved, every sacrifice I made for the betterment of the community, met with rejection and dismissal. I bared my soul and shared knowledge that others deemed taboo or risky, all for the sake of enlightenment, progress, self-reflection, and art. Yet, my triumphs were cast aside as if they held no value or praised on one hand and vehemently judged on the other.

​

I will continue to gather evidence diligently, challenging the false narrative that seeks to vilify me. The path to justice may be convoluted, but I will navigate it with determination and resilience. My commitment to seeking justice extends beyond my own experiences. It is a testament to my unwavering dedication to a better and more equitable world. I will not be deterred by those who attempt to discredit me. I will rise above the false accusations and continue to advocate for the rights of survivors, shedding light on the dark corners of abuse and fighting for the justice they deserve.

​

There may be systemic threats that I am yet to discover and confront. I was set up by Russell Ball, a powerful lawyer, and I was denied legal help until after my suicide attempt, which provided evidence of this. The repercussions of my malpractice complaint were severe, as I became a target of victim-blaming and silencing tactics orchestrated by the GP's lawyer. Instead of addressing the concerns I raised, they resorted to defaming me as an extortionist, discrediting me, and silencing my evidence. The harm inflicted upon me was not limited to financial losses; it extended to the erosion of my dignity and the trampling of my rights across various statutory offices and institutions.

​

The repercussions continued to unfold, and it seemed that my hospitalization was conveniently positioned as a consequence of my attempts to access my former partner's superannuation. Exploiting the stigma surrounding mental illness, I was unjustly labeled as mentally ill, a calculated tactic employed to delegitimize my claims and further vilify me.

​

I refuse to allow their labels to define me or their tactics to silence me. I am far stronger than their attempts to diminish my voice. I stand tall, unwavering in my pursuit of justice and the restoration of my rights. Although they may have taken advantage of my vulnerability, they cannot extinguish the fire burning within me. I will reclaim my power and dismantle their false narratives. Their efforts to silence me will not prevail.

​

I reject any attempts to victim-blame or internalize their false portrayal of me as mentally ill. I am not defined by their distorted perceptions. My true essence lies in my resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to truth. Together, we will expose injustices and reclaim our power. We refuse to be silenced. Our voices will persist and be heard.

​

Maintaining my sanity in the face of targeted victimization has been crucial, yet my resilience in navigating through these challenging circumstances has never been commended.

​

I have arrived accidentally at the term ‘Gang Stalking.’ The tactics employed by those involved in gang-stalking can be insidious, making it difficult to directly perceive or prove their actions. However, I have diligently observed patterns and gathered compelling evidence that directly links this pervasive phenomenon to my public profile and targeted individual status. This evidence substantiates the extreme victimization I have endured, which is political and systemic, leading to my suicide attempt. Surviving such an attempt speaks to my strength and determination.

​

I call upon others to join me in the fight against oppression, to stand up against corruption and the abuse of power. Together, we can create a society that values justice, compassion, and equality. We will break the chains of silence, expose the truth, and bring about meaningful change.

​

It is imperative to acknowledge the collective force of individuals and organizations involved in a vast conspiracy aimed at undermining justice, perpetuating my victimization, and depriving me of my rights and equality. The comprehensive evidence I have gathered solidifies these claims, revealing the involvement of influential individuals who wield political privilege and substantial financial resources. These actors often hold positions of power without making significant contributions or displaying originality. Supported by government entities or external forces, they uphold a system of oppression that has led to my destitution, homelessness, and ongoing injustice.

​

It is deeply disheartening to realize that despite being aware of the imminent risk to my well-being, various agencies, individuals, hospitals, and organizations have failed to intervene and provide the necessary support. The abandonment and neglect I have faced from society at large is a grave injustice that cannot be overlooked. Institutions like Werribee Mercy, Salt Water Clinic, lawyers, the police, IBAC, the Ombudsman, the HCC, the MHCC, AHPRA, NHPOPC, SANE Australia, my publisher, news channels, ABC News, 3AW, RRR, PBS, Triple J, ABC Radio, The Age, The Herald Sun, The Australian, Crikey, The Independent, various key political reporters, academics, Victoria University, politicians, the Mental Health Tribunal, and many others have neglected their responsibilities. I have been blocked from emailing people like Bill Shorten and PID@fedcourt.gov.au, and I have been blocked from the Ombudsman’s email. Additionally, the NDIS, AFCA, APRA, IGIS, ASIO, ASIC, the AAT, ComCare, and WorkSafe have all failed to address my needs and provide the necessary support. This neglect is part of a phenomenon that perpetuates my victimization and denies my prosperity and rights.

​

If this neglect continues, it may well become a violence of neglect ending in my death in which not a single person is accountable for the violence, but everyone has had a part in creating the political ecosystem for it to occur.

Throughout my journey, I have never faltered in my fight against the calculated harm inflicted upon me by influential individuals who operate from behind shields of proxies and intermediaries. My relentless struggle has been witnessed by the world, serving as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for accountability and justice.

​

As I continue to gather evidence through phone calls and emails, expose patterns, and advocate for my rights, I try to prioritize self-care and seek support from trusted individuals or organizations, though they are few in number. Preserving my mental and emotional well-being is essential throughout this challenging journey. My voice deserves to be heard, and my experiences should not be dismissed, ignored, or pathologized as 'ingrained delusions of persecution.' I stay strong, determined, and continue to seek the justice and resolution I rightfully deserve.

​

What I need more than anything is a platform where I can document and validate my narrative. Once my story is acknowledged, I can begin the process of rebuilding my life and expressing gratitude to those who have played a pivotal role in exposing the injustices I have endured, as few as they may be. It is absolutely crucial that my story is heard, as it will bring the necessary accountability for those responsible for my suffering. Ultimately, my goal is to live a simple life, surrounded by my loyal dog and beloved companions, free from the chains of oppression, having been compensated for my detriments and working in the community again.

​

In stark contrast to my current life of neglect, I have achieved remarkable milestones, including the attainment of a Doctorate and the international recognition of my creativity and advocacy through global tours and exhibitions. I take immense pride in my artistic talent, which has garnered accolades and acclaim from reputable sources. However, these achievements have been overshadowed by the orchestrated campaign to silence and discredit me.

​

In my pursuit of justice, I remain optimistic that my story will resonate with individuals who value truth, equality, and the inherent worth of every human being. My hope is that by shedding light on the pervasive victimization and injustice I have endured, the world will rally behind me, demanding accountability and transformation within the systems that perpetuate such harm.

Together, we can create a society that stands up against oppression, values the lived experiences of individuals, and upholds justice for all. It is my sincere hope that my narrative will inspire others to speak out against the injustices they face, encouraging a culture of compassion, empathy, and change.

​

Thank you for taking the time to read my statement. May it serve as a catalyst for transformation, justice, and healing in a world that so desperately needs it.

​

I implore you to, framed by my rejected public interest disclosures and a system that does not just ignore me, but pointedly intentionally neglect me, for you to not ignore my plea for an intervention.

 

The redaction of my prosperity is profoundly affecting my mental health and that lack of finances for me stems from a conscious malicious and intentional movement to cause me harm 

 

I fear if nothing is done about my situation I will again be a suicide risk out of desperation and the ill feeling that you know a cast of thousands means you harm.

 

Ways to intervene:

 

First, acknowledge my NDIS workers report that independently verifies a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and my systemic and politicised victimisation,

 

Find me a lawyer who is unbiased, after all having access to the law and equality before the law is in the charter of human rights of a person with a disability,

 

Force AFCA to hear my determinations in a fair way,

 

Urge my PID to pass at DSS,

 

Intervene to force my work cover payment overdue since Jan 19 2021,

 

Urgently overhaul my NDIS plan,

 

Acknowledge that Steve Iasonidis, my former partner was in a relationship with me for five years and clearly exploited me and owes me a settlement ,

 

Just acknowledging my advocacy over thirty years and the way I have been treated terribly in return would be a good start to restore my faith.

 

An acknowledgement from the Government about my systemic victimisation that has caused so much harm is overdue and compensation I think is reasonable.
