Rewarding Rum Colony Criminals

Rewarding Rum Colony Criminals

In line with Australian Values, professional criminals are rewarded in this country!

Two taxi industry executives namely John Bowe and Howard Harrison admitted under oath, in front of CC Connor of the NSW Industrial Relations Commission:
A. They have been lying to the courts and commissions,
B. They have been making false and fabricated submission at the courts and commissions,
C. They have been denying workers lawful entitlements most of the time and
D. They have been double dipping the taxman by claiming tax relief for unpaid workers entitlements.

Only last year, we have proven in front of three eminent Federal Judges of the Australian Competition Tribunal that the same lot of taxi industry leaders have:
i. Failed to tell the truth to the Australian Trade Practices Commission,
ii. Mislead the Australian Trade Practices Commission,
iii. Used racism to obtain some authorisation for their advantage.
Ideally speaking, these proceeds of crime (hundreds of million dollars) should have been seized and utilised for public and workers safety and welfare.

Ironically, the same group of people were given hundreds of millions dollars worth of public assets mentioned in Corruption Under NSW Labor Growing to provide special services to the disabled and fringe area people. To our surprise, again, they are double dipping the public and taxi drivers and not honouring their side of the bargain. We have written to the NSW Ombudsman, Auditor General, Independent Commission Against Corruption and many other forums with no luck. Yet, the good government of NSW handed over the non-existing quality control and quality assurance of the taxi industry to the same group and simultaneously the corrupt Department of Transport officials and misguided police continue to harass taxi workers to divert attention and deflect their own incompetence.

Recently, the good government of New South Wales rewarding these same folks, the same crowd who are involved with the NSW Taxi Council Pty Limited, CCN Pty Ltd, Cabcharge Pty Ltd, ComfortDelgroCabcharge Ltd etc. etc. - dishonouring every law of the land. In fact these people are becoming the de facto government. The smelly, rotten and incestuous relations between these shonky organisations and the Department of Transport/Ministry of Transport were described by the NSW Ombudsman as the DoT/MoT is being “captured” by the Taxi Council, and the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal identified the DoT/MoT as “not forthcoming, evasive, not helpful” (in favor of the Taxi Council).

Whether taxi owners like it or not, they are compelled to belong to taxi networks and therefore the network income is guaranteed. However, networks are not compelled by any laws/regulations to provide a safe and efficient service to public and drivers. As a result, networks are deliberately running down their services to maximise their profit, thus short changing drivers and publics alike.

To add salt to the wound, these same lucky ‘taxi mafia’ have been receiving various forms of subsidies - including Night Rider busses too.

However, this time the good government of NSW is handing over to these smelly people approximately 200 million dollars of public money to build and run 500 busses for the state government (Reported at the Xmas edition of “Cabbie” magazine) with a guaranteed annual profit of approximately 18 million dollars. Do we know:
1. What are the terms and conditions,
2. Are there enough safeguards to protect public interest and safety,
3. Are they fit and proper people to deal with so much public money,
4. This is not a criminal scam protected by the various current and former government officials who by the way directly and indirectly are working for these organisations in various capacities and
5. Why the hell, only these people are rewarded?6. Is it going to be another Cross City Tunnel Saga?

In the mean time, the worker hater NSW Labor government is doing everything to kill the Allan Cook report with the assistance of “workers’ friend’ Michael Jools who is stabbing taxi workers back from the Macquarie Bank Vault where four more former Labor Premiers are hiding and counting fortunes at the expense of public and decency. Former Police Commissioner Dave Madden has also joined the gravy train and doing his best to kill the venerated Cook Report and short change workers safety.

Remember, it was the Liberal government who gave a few bucks to the Workcover Authority via the Department of Transport and thus in a way the first ever conducted safety study report (Keatsdale Report) which found its way to initiate the long overdue taxi industry safety reform. The taxi mafia with the assistance of the NSW Labor government went on to kill the report but due to our pressure the Keatsdale Report survived. Yet, the mafia managed to overcharge the public and short changed the taxi workers with the assistance of the NSW Labor Party and Transport Workers Union. Former Premier Bob Carr killed the Parliamentary StaySafe Committee Inquiry into the taxi industry. These days, they are using racism and sectarianism to divert attention and confuse public. Even the NSW Labor government is playing games with the taxi workers safety issues for commercial and political gains rewarding law breakers for exploiting workers and short changing decency and justice.

We therefore urge you to vote minor parties like The Australian Democrats, Greens, Democratic Socialist Party and other independent candidates to brake away from the unholy strangle hold of big parties at the expense of justice, democracy, free speech, human rights, industrial rights, workers safety in NSW.
