Anne Turner’s Weapons of Mass Destruction

Anne Turner’s Weapons of Mass Destruction



Tony Denton is a mentally challenged person. Long time ago, virtually the whole world deserted him. Mike Hatrick and Faruque Ahmed were supporting him in many ways for a long time. Recently both of us relised that Tony requires professional assistance and I have decided cut ties with him for safety and security reasons. I have advised Anne about it. However for some strange reason Anne became very close to Tony and found herself in many troubles.

I am not answerable to Tony. However, Anne Turner inspired frivolous and vexatious attacks of Tony do not deserve any attention. Nonetheless I have to add a few points to dispel some of the myths.

Faruque Ahmed’s Letter to ACMA is common sense approach. The ACMA Reply to Faruque Ahmed is a result of due process of law. Faruque Ahmed’s Letter to Radio 2UE a necessary beast! Radio 2UE Response to Faruque Ahmed is frustrating and a reflection of the media culture of Australia. Faruque Ahmed’s Communication with the ACMA will be a test case after the Cash for Comment Inquiry.



David Oldfield, David Oldfield to David Oldfield, Taxi Mafia Inspired Blockade (Radio 2 UE), David Oldfield to Jim Ball and Taxi Mafia Inspired Blockade (Radio 2GB) are self explanatory.



The power of Aussie talkback and Have your say on talkback radio are a good starting point. Deliberately impotent NSW Anti-Discrimination Board allows Muslim and Christian Bashing in NSW. However, saying a word against Zio-Nazi war crimes and genocide are considered to be the cardinal sins here!



Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, Sadistic Reply and Is He Guilty Because Of His Religion? are only few issues I am proudly involved with.



I therefore reject Anne inspired and Tony delivered idiocy. I got better things to do.

Hello


I have been advised of your posting on the NSW TDA Committee Forum about your comments to the President of the NSW TDA, Anne Turner

You said, ' Tony Denton became a mental...'

You also went on to say, '...He physically attacked you and a few little girls. Tony vandalised a chicken shop and another persons backyard...'

I Tony Denton have not, ' become a (sic) mental...'

I Tony Denton have not and have never physically attacked Anne Turner nor have I attacked any, '..few little girls..' or for that matter any ,'few' big girls nor any other little or big persons of any sort.

There has been no physical 'attacking' by me of any kind

Where is your supporting evidence ?

Or is this another example from the multitude of examples of how you consistently attempt to direct blame onto others, unsuccessfully, all without any foundation of support and without any supporting evidence ?

I remind you and all the world who will be reading this ...of your failure in taking 2GB and Jim Ball to task for racial slanders etc

I remind you of your failure to prove that Brian Wilshire's wife and Jim Ball's wife are somehow from a what you have time and time again said are from, "Jewish' background.

I remind you that you clearly failed to prove that those women, 'are Jews.'

They are not

I remind you of your failure to challenge even one of your many evictions from premises in the Marrickville & Dulwich Hill area

I remind you of your failure to select ethical & moral persons to share your flat with when you were at Marrickville. You attracted that 'jackal' of a person, that 'maloon' as you called him and you are completely responsible for how he ripped you off financially.

I remind you of your many failures to even get your voice heard on many, many talk back radio stations

I remind you of your failure in holding down an ongoing job as a Petroleum Engineer & of your sacking by the Australian manager on the instigation of the visiting American CEO when you were at BP

You...like many other so called 'activists', confuse free speech and instead substitute personal attacks in it's place

I remind you of your own comments about 'karma'

You....yourself know you are creating what is awaiting you by your conscious & deliberate wrongful thinking wrongful actions & wrongful comments

Is this situation involving Anne Turner, myself & others a further example of such?

Is this situation a further example of the 'unbalanced chequebook' of wrongful thinking, actions & comments coming from yourself for which ...you yourself know.... you will be held accountable for ?

Held accountable by the Universe

Anyway...

What has your comments to do with NSW TDA business ?

Why are your abusive & personal attacks even on the NSW TDA Committee Forum ?

What are they doing there ?

Who will be next in line for your personal attacks ?

Is this your fundamental style to personally attack each and every NSW TDA Executive member...then each & every NSW TDA member themselves...one by one?

This is abuse

You are an abuser

You abuse each & every human being you come in contact with

All secretively....all nefariously

The very behaviour you attribute to the 'Taxi Mafia" the 'Zionists' the 'Jewish' persons....is in reality your own 'dark side'

You attempt to disown that 'dark side' which is part of you - You have failed

And you will continue to fail

You say from your posting; ' In the meantime I am getting threats like;

A. The DG of T&I will cancel your authority....'

B. 'very powerful and knowledgeable people' i.e. taxi mafia do not like you,..,

c. The mafia will deport you from Australia

D. Someone will bash you up,....'

Who exactly is saying these things to you ?

Where is your support for proving that such things are in fact being said to or about you ?

You attempt to create an atmosphere of chaos around you and of victimisation directed towards you based on unfounded evidence.

All somehow perpetuated by some hidden and ill meaning unidentified group of persons

I can say this

I do not assosciate with abusers

I do not assosciate with secretive women haters and covert woman oppressors

I do not assosciate with serial inflamers

I do not associate with you


Yours sincerely


Tony Denton

Muslim Taxi Driver is Waiting for Justice

Muslim Taxi Driver is Waiting for Justice


T.D.B. Gate Report (Taxi Driver Bashing Gate Report) 6


So the useless and anti-worker Coates did nothing for you in terms of workers compensation, prosecuting the offender, writing to the Workcover, organise taxi inspection and point out the total failure of network responsibilities, arrogant and anti worker attitude and practices of networks!

By the way, a few more taxi drivers were bashed and most of the incidents camera and safety equipment were at fault!! The network policies and practices were worse too.

Oh yes. Psychologists! Many taxi drivers were bashed and injured. I have not herd many were referred to Psychologists!! Why are they doing this to you? Are they trying to trap you into something? I just asked.

Could you also ask that Geoff about the failure of filling up the Workers Compensation Form by the bailor in question and who is going to pay for your ambulance and other bills?

Sunny,

The psychologist is all part of the process as your mental health is important. If you don't need him I'm O.K. with that.

Constable Dick is not on until 3pm today. I'll try and contact him today.

Workers Comp is an issue with Joey. I have to speak with Clare Moran of Cabsure in relation to your claim. She is not back until Monday.

Will keep you updated via email.

Dear Geoff Coates,

Did you get the Police Report I sent last week. The Police Report last page says that "It is anticipated that the POI will be arrested after footage has been viewed."

From your meeting with TCS we know that there is footage after the M13 was pressed, but none before. But the Police know who the POI is and where he lives.

Would you please ask TCS to send the footage to the Police, explaining there is none before the M13, and asking the Police to arrest the POI as the Police report says. Or maybe you could write a letter to the police.

I meet with Veldish on Friday 9th January 2009.he has given some advises and asked me a copy of the police report. I am going to see him on Monday again with a police report. What you advise me?

Joe said don't need to talk with him about this matter.advised me to see with Veldish.
TCS did not send the footage to the police station yet. I requested him to send the footage ASAP.

Would you please let me know what should I do at this stage.

Thank you for your help,

Sunny





T.D.B. Gate Report (Taxi Driver Bashing Gate Report) 5

Further to Unreserved Apology to Taxi Drivers and Immigrants and T.D.B. Gate Report (Taxi Driver Bashing Gate Report) 4, below, you are welcome to follow the event;

1. Time and Date: 7.30 pm, Friday, November 07, 2008

2. The offender: From 300 High Street near Short Street, Chatswood. It is a house and NOT a flat. It was an M1 job i.e. the taxi network must have his name and phone number(s).

3. Confrontation and reason of conflict: The passenger asked the driver to make an illegal u turn. The driver politely refused and said, "I have to move a bit more and make it safely". The passenger was aggressive and he said, "do I have to pay for this"? The passenger also said, "why the meter is $3.50? It should start from zero". The driver replied, "sir, the meter start from $3.15". The rudeness of the passenger went high. He charged the driver, "what the hell you Indians are here, it is my country, why don't you go back to India, ….". The passenger was unstoppable and abusing the driver continuously. The driver replied, "if you don't stop and do not allow me to drive properly, I can't take you to city and I have to drop you to your house. I won't charge you for that". The passenger said, "O.K". The driver dropped him near his house and did not charge any money. The passenger got out of the taxi and spat at the driver. Then he punched the driver a few times. The drive was injured and did not hit back.

4. Taxi Alarm: The driver activated the alarm but the M13 did not work. No one came to assist the driver. The injured driver asked help from his friends by his own mobile phone and they went to assist him

5. NSW Taxi Drivers Association: Taxi drivers contacted the NSW TDA Media Manager Faruque Ahmed and they have provided him information as the unfortunate event progressed on that night. In turn, Faruque alerted the media as information came to his hand.

6. Police: The police arrived at the scene after 50 minutes. The failed to show any interest to apprehend the offender, secure any evidence or crime scene i.e. blood soaked shirt, tie or any other items.

7. Ambulance: The Ambulance arrived 57 minutes later. They went on to wash the drivers face. The injured driver's friends asked them to take photo of the badly injured (visibly) driver. One ambulance worker went back to the ambulance and returned to say, "we don't have any camera". An argument developed. The police were not helpful at all during this episode! Assembled taxi drivers said, "we will go to report this to channel Nine first and then we will drive our friend to the hospital". At that time the injured driver could not see any thing due to his swollen eye. However the police and ambulance staff virtually forced the driver to sign a piece of paper and they left the location for TCN 9.

8. TCN Nine: The 9 security guard was very helpful. The lady at the reception freaked out to see the badly injured driver and she did everything possible to comfort and assist the driver. She organized the media crews to interview drivers.

9. RNS Hospital: The drivers were confronted by three aggressive police officers at the hospital. One was holding a media briefing of Faruque Ahmed and screamed, "who is this Media Manger Faruque Ahmed? Why did he contact the media? Why are you talking to him and media? I am involved with the police union. Our union is the biggest union in this country and you can't win against us." The police visit at the hospital was to intimidate taxi drivers. They left the hospital with anger and without interviewing the injured driver. 10 minutes later two officers came back to hospital to take a statement from the injured driver. Assembled drivers asked a few valid questions to police officers but they refused to answer them.

10. Police Hijacking: During this commotion a taxi driver attempted to record this event in his mobile phone but the barking mad police officer ordered one of other officer to cease the phone from the taxi driver without his permission and checked the phone for possible recording of the conversation.

11. Police bully: The drivers said many good things including, "why are you so angry? The paper you are holding in your hand now got Mr. Faruque Ahmed's phone number. Why don't you ring him and direct your question to him?"

12. Perverting the Course of justice: The police asked the driver to see him seven or eight days later, so that he can take his photograph as evidence! Why not on the spot at the day of assault? Is it a perversion of course of justice?

13. Legal Point: Sunny does NOT have an Operator's accreditation and whatever is written in the so called contract between him and his bailor are not worth the paper it is written on. For details pleas refer Dave Musgrave vs Premier Taxi Network case.

14. Anti-Taxi Driver and Lying TCS: The drivers went to TCS and they were told by the TCS staff, "we have not received any alarm". When drivers asked them to down load the pictures, they were told, "we need police permission". The drivers presented the police business card to the TCS staff and requested them to contact those officers for further assistance. However, at one stage they were told, "there are no pictures, everything is blank". The injured driver questioned a female TCS staff for their failure to contact him during this episode. She replied, "we don't have your up to date phone number". The driver replied with frustration, "six weeks ago the police took my phone number from the TCS network to investigate a stolen card used in my taxi and now you are telling me you don't have my real phone number!"

15. Chatswood Police Station: The injured taxi driver rang Chatswood police station several times to follow up police instructions given to him earlier. Chatswood police knew the incident but they could not provide him any assistance. The driver left his mobile number and requested police officer Dick of that station to contact him. Dick or no one contacted him.

16. Enemy of Taxi Drivers: No one from the TCS contacted the driver. From Jeff’s confession, “98% taxi drivers reject” the so called TCS counseling” because ‘Dracula can’t and should not be in-charge of blood bank’ in the first place.

17. The TCS Cover Ups: From Jeff’s report it is very clear that the taxi camera and sound system was not working at that time and date, the TCS staff did not call the police or ambulance, the radio room failed to broadcast any message to other taxis (contrary to previous TCS lies) and taxi driver’s welfare does not exist in their culture.

18. The NSW TDA Responsibility: As we agreed earlier, we must write to the NSW WorkCover, NSW Police Commissioner, NSW Ministry of Transport, NSW Ambulance, Unions (Labor) NSW and other bodies without any delay.

19. Frustration of the Victim: I have received a frustrated SMS from Sunny and he has every right to express himself due to monumental idiocy of Jeff.

20. Mafia Protection Law: Why, under the law, the taxi networks/companies/taxi council pty ltd are NOT responsible for their actions and inactions in regards to bailee taxi drivers, passengers etc. etc.?

21. Law Reform: Why the NSW TDA Committee was less willing to accept my suggestions i.e. write to the authorities and requesting them to remove any anomalies under the Duty of Care provision of the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Act due to bailor and bailee relationship?

22. The Taxi Mafia Love: According to the aggrieved driver, the TCS asked (or ordered) him to attend their office some time this week.

23. Workers Compensation Claim: No one filled up any Workers Compensation Claim! Why the hell a simple custom of filling up a W.C.C. form does not exist in the taxi industry culture?

24. Confusing “Taxi”: One of the taxi mafia mouthpiece namely Taxi have printed many untrue and confusing information to mislead taxi drives, owners and public. In short the whole episode was designed to defraud authorities, legitimize illegal acts and pass the bucks to bailee drivers.

Let it be known


Further to Unreserved Apology to Taxi Divers and Immigrants and T.D.B. Gate Report (Taxi Driver Bashing Gate Report) 4, I have to make it clear that I am going to act against racism, anti-taxi driver mentality and mechanisms.

I said earlier and the famous Media Watch of ABC has proven the case against Channel Seven Network beyond reasonable doubt. Yet, I can not get any reason behind a consistent non-co-operation from some of the TDA executive committee members. Now I have to ask these questions officially;
1. Doses the NSW TDA endorse racism and anti-Taxi Driver activities like the Channel Seven Network story in question and
2. Doses the NSW TDA endorse all of the anti-Taxi Driver policies and instruments evident in T.D.B. Gate Report (Taxi Driver Bashing Gate Report) 4?
3. Why some of the NSW TDA Executives are reluctant to act for the taxi drivers’ interest?
4. Why some of the NSW TDA Executives are reluctant to stand up against racism and other anti-taxi driver activities?

Geoff,

Only three Committee members including you and your mate Trevor could have been present.

Abusive remarks are self evidently not a sacking offence.

Deliberately divisive lies about other Committee members by you and Trevor Bradley may well be.

Cheers,

Faruque,

At Committee Meeting yesterday, I was of opinion you listened to all Committee Members present, who unanimously criticised you on your remarks regards my report.This obviously not so, you posted again at 11:30 pm last night.As President, you have given me reason to ask the Committee to consider your position on the Committee.

Yours sincerely,

9/11 to 11/11 (Lights on for inquiry into taxi industry)


Some good people blame Faruque Ahmed for sneezing to Tsunami. Right now Faruque Ahmed is blocked by Sydney talk back radio stations. He used to talk about many issues including taxis! Now the airwaves are silent about these issues! Brave White knights of the taxi industry are silent too!! One may ponder why is it so?

Faruque Ahmed was silenced back in 2001. After the 9/11 the neo-cons (Zio-Nazis) took over the airwaves and governments. They silenced any and all debate!! They virtually blackmailed us and pushed us in un-winnable Israel centric wars!!! Many voices of reason were silenced and suffocated too.

Yet, we haven’t prosecuted the neo-cons! We are more interested in silencing Faruque Ahmed and ignoring brave and investigative works of the Sydney Morning herald.

NSW Taxi Royal Commission

Definitions:


Desperate Taxi Drivers: These types of drivers will park outside brothels and other buildings including no stopping and no standing zones loitering for a fare! They are desperate. They want money to pay for the harsh, unjust and unlawful rental charge of the taxis they drive. Many brothel operators and workers do not like them outside their premises as their presence drives away some customers!


Shameless Taxi Drivers: Like the “Desperate Taxi Drivers” they also park in streets or street corners when they see someone is just walking or kissing each others for reasons well known to them! They expect, these people will catch a taxi when they finish their business. These shameless taxi drivers even do not know that they may not have a chance of getting a fare!


Misguided and Rude Taxi Drivers: They are worse than “Desperate Taxi Drivers” and “Shameless Taxi Drivers”! They will slow down taxis, beep people walking on the road and then they will ask, “do you want taxis”? Generally speaking they are taxi mafia’s “Apartheid School Graduate” as well as misguided and overcharged “Silver Drivers”!


Drug Courier Taxi Drivers: Over the last few years two taxi drivers used taxis to drop drugs! All of these groups mentioned above would like to work and have a decent days pay! However due to endemic corruption, taxi mafia manipulation, false advertising and false representations with the assistance of many state and political entities all of those workers never experienced a safe work practice, safe work place or minimum wage!


Many taxi drivers have been fighting for a safe work practice, safe work place or minimum wage for a long time and they are facing brick walls harder than “Apartheid Wall of Israel”. Surprisingly, many state instrumentalities have been handing over money and power to taxi mafia to subdue and subjugate taxi drivers and owners. On many occasions, the state government departments have been wasting public funds and power and authority vested on them to prosecute innocent and helpless taxi drivers!


Public Servants: They are servants of the people and paid by the people. They are supposed to be serving the state and the people. However, many documents including many links and documents including links of Target Beyond Taxi Mafia Game and Beyond suggest that they are NOT protecting the interest of the state and public. Sadly, one can find their actions and inactions are contrary to the wish and interest of the state and public as well blatantly pro taxi mafia!


Elected Officials: Like “public servants” they are elected and paid by the public with an expectation to protect the wishes and interests of the state and the public. Alas! They too, are working for the taxi mafia and against the wishes and interests of the state, public, taxi drivers, taxi owners and passengers! Isn’t it sad, bad and shameful?
Can someone answer me:
1. Are these “Public Servants” and “Elected Officials” better or worse than any category of taxi drivers mentioned above?
2. Should they be allowed to flog the dead horse i.e. taxi drivers for their own misdemeanors, mistakes and crimes?
Issues of Concern


A. Taxi plates are the property of the State and public. Taxi plates must be used for the benefit of the State and the public. No public servants and politicians should be protecting the interest of the counterproductive investors. Such a pro-investor policy is contrary to the wish and interest of the state, public, taxi drivers and taxi owners.
B. The Safety and comfort of the public and drivers ought to be the top priority of the taxi industry. No one should be kowtowing to the taxi mafia because the taxi industry is a service industry and totally different from a casino or the stock exchange. The regulatory priority must be targeted for a safe and comfortable journey for the public. It is the responsibility for the state government to provide safer work practices and work place. They also should remove any and all ambiguity as well as ensure proper compliance of the duty of care provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
C. The practice of handing over many types of taxi plates to s selective few appears to be a very corrupt process and contrary to public and state interest. Too many politically expedient “quick-fixes” have created a maze of convoluted structures, largely devoid of stakeholder participation. Silencing and sabotaging many reports and inquiries regarding this issue is blatant proof of the deception and fraud. Furthermore, suffocating and hoodwinking the public in its genuine efforts to win some accountability and transparency within the NSW Department of Transport, Ministry of Transport and other bodies were in the past and still are at the present very devious and intimidatory. Like the old days, taxi plates should be issued to only working taxi drivers with a provision of temporary relief in case of death and disablement. In the recent past, the authorities started to hand over taxi plates to the taxi mafia and many people who should not have been allowed into the taxi industry in the first place! They also made it very difficult, if not impossible, to ensure accountability and transparency by keeping the taxi owners register secret.
D. The Taxi Networks/Call centre must be accountable to public and drivers. The long overdue regulatory reform was requested back in 1993 to the relevant authorities! Surprisingly they did nothing! In other words the government departments are rewarding greedy and lazy taxi networks for short changing public and drivers. By the same time, the same public servants are bad mouthing taxi drivers to hoodwink the public. This is unconscionable and unacceptable. No honest and decent public servants and elected officials would follow this shameless path.


Time is right to come clean. The NSW Government must:
1. Recall all Nexus Taxi Plates and other types of taxi plates given to taxi networks and companies. They are state property and must be utilised for the benefit of the state and public. It is being said, that 95% of the assets one taxi network are derived from these “generous” state handouts! A few other ”lucky” private individuals also may have received such “gigantic gifts” from the state government and as a result they have gained huge financial power and the ability to muzzle taxi drivers and misguide traveling public.
2. Demand that taxi networks and companies holding "free" plates must hand back the plates and the income generated by all Nexus Taxi Plates and other plates given to them by the government. Simply because they are state and public assets and they must be utilised for the public and the state. No fair minded person would be expecting to spend income generated by these state assets to trawl the wall or at Kings X.
3. Open up the Taxi Register like Company Registers. Why should the taxi industry be lacking in accountability and transparency? Who is getting the benefit out of such secrecy? Certainly not the public and the state!
4. Issue taxi plates to working taxi drivers only. (Instead of empowering taxi networks to intimidate taxi drivers, the Government must empower taxi drivers & operators to pressure networks into providing the booking services that the traveling public wants and is entitled to). In England they have a healthy taxi industry based on this model. No one apart from the taxi mafia have benefited from removing the seniority list register.
5. Gradually remove speculative investors from owning taxi plates. Remember, they brought corruption rather than creativity. Therefore, an honest government, not bonded by the taxi mafia should immediately enact legislation to remove any and all speculative investors.
6. Stop issuing false and misleading Media Releases like the one below. Stop past and future unnecessary harassment of taxi drivers in order to divert attention from the corruption and incompetence within the government and bureaucracy. During the “expensive” meeting with the Director General and his entourage they failed to present any solution or way forward based on any yardstick or management tools! No one told us what is the demand of taxis and therefore how many taxis will be required to match any and all demand in the first place! Furthermore, much anecdotal evidence exists which indicates that there is a lower demand for taxis in Sydney now. Most of the taxi ranks are overflowing at any time and day of the week. Even the KPI (Key Performance Indicators) of the T&I is saying that 35% of the time taxis are not on the road or utlised.
7. Re-establish the Taxi Advisory Council and Taxi Drivers' Safety Task Force as per the principles laid down by Justice Edwards and Beattie as well as Sir Asher Joel’s recommendations. Please ensure proper representation in those bodies. Last time, Peers Ackerman, Miranda Devine and many other people pressured to re-establish the Taxi Advisory Committee. Alas! The taxi mafia and the NSW TWU leadership sabotaged the good work and as a result now we are back to square one.
8. Allow and nurture the Taxi Advisory Council and Taxi Drivers' Safety Task Force without them being infiltrated by taxi mafia, stooges and Labor Party thugs.
9. Have a Taxi Royal Commission with widest possible Terms of Reference.



Further to Members of Parliament and media outlets, Beyond the NSW Taxi Royal Commission, An Open Letter to NSW Premier Nathan Rees, Taxi Washer to Taxi Mafia and Mafia Game and Beyond; taxi plates are the property of the State and public. Taxi plates must be used for the benefit of the State and the public.


The Safety and comfort of the public and drivers ought to be the top priority of the taxi industry. No one should be kowtowing to the taxi mafia because the taxi industry is a service industry and totally different from a casino or the stock exchange.


Therefore we must ignore all rumors and direct our good work based on facts and logic.


No one has to serve the taxi mafia! However successive Ministers of Transports, Premiers and public servants of the state of NSW are doing so for a long time! Information contained in Power of the Taxi Mafia is sufficient enough to make such a supposition.


We also must not allow any taxi driver bashing to divert attention from the real issue i.e. mafia corruption and public officials’ crime spree. A few ill motivated and deliberate articles of the daily telegraph, recent taxi driver basing by Channel Seven and Transport and Infrastructure officials misadventures against taxi drivers must be noted with extreme care.


Mafia Game and Beyond


Further to Members of Parliament and media outlets, Beyond the NSW Taxi Royal Commission, An Open Letter to NSW Premier Nathan Rees, The Power of the Taxi Mafia and Taxi Washer to Taxi Mafia the director General of Transport and Infrastructure invited people at meetings without agenda!


It appears they are not frank and honest enough in their intent. Nonetheless they also do not want to improve the industry. Furthermore they want to reward the taxi mafia by releasing many more taxi plates which is detrimental to public, taxi drivers and taxi owners’ interest. It is also clear that they do not have any yardstick to measure the demand and therefore an attempt to match the demand with proper supply. All in all it is fairly clear that the taxi mafia remains in charge.


The attitude, intention and overall direction of the Ministry and the Department of Transport and Infrastructure are very uncertain if not anti-public.


The democratic and long overdue Taxi Advisory Committee and Taxi Drivers’ Safety Committee is also outside the consideration of the Ministry of Transport.


Beyond Taxi Corruption provides a further look on how they have been committing crimes since 1984 with the assistance of the corrupt leaders of the NSW Transport Workers Union and many other public officials within the NSW Government.


The Power of the Taxi Mafia is beyond anyone’s imagination! A little taxi washer became taxi mafia and now he is the bus mafia!! It is beggar’s belief no one virtually can drive a private bus in this state without his (actually his mate’s) permission!!! He never had any interest in the bus industry. However, a few years ago the government of NSW gave one of his companies a very lucrative deal to construct buses. Most of these buses are not in a very good condition and full of problems. Yet, the mafia and his Cabcharge are making lots of money contrary to the state and public interest.



Taxi Washer to Taxi Mafia


Taxi mafia used to wash taxis at Bayswater Road, Kings Cross. Taxi drivers wanted to sack him because he was not washing taxis properly. But, the mafia survived due to racism and sectarianism. However, he became owner of two taxis and a few more earthly possessions by shagging a widow. Eventually, he became the taxi mafia by adding misery and misfortune on taxi drivers, owners and passengers. Ironically, successive NSW Premiers and Ministers of Transport started to lick his balls and they threw bag full of money at him. As a result, he gained the power to sue any one, silence anyone and even destroy someone!


What a mighty man the taxi mafia is?! One must wonder what happened to other man and woman of the state of NSW?!!? Are they mouse and mice?



Taxi plates are the property of the State and public. Taxi plates must be used for the benefit of the State and the public.


The Safety and comfort of the public and drivers ought to be the top priority of the taxi industry. No one should be kowtowing to the taxi mafia because the taxi industry is a service industry and totally different from a casino or the stock exchange.


Like the old days, taxi plates should be issued to only working taxi drivers with a provision of temporary relief in case of death and disablement. In the recent past, the authorities started to hand over taxi plates to the taxi mafia and many people who should not have been allowed into the taxi industry in the first place! They also made it very difficult, if not impossible, to ensure accountability and transparency by keeping the taxi owners register secret.


The practice of handing over many types of taxi plates to a selective few appears to be a very corrupt process and contrary to public and state interest. Too many politically expedient “quick-fixes” have created a maze of convoluted structures, largely devoid of stakeholder participation. Silencing and sabotaging many reports and inquiries regarding this issue is blatant proof of the deception and fraud. Furthermore, suffocating and hoodwinking the public in its genuine efforts to win some accountability and transparency within the NSW Department of Transport, Ministry of Transport and other bodies were in the past and still are at the present very devious and intimidatory.


Time is right to come clean.
The NSW Government must:
1. Recall all Nexus Taxi Plates and other types of taxi plates given to taxi networks and companies.
2. Demand that taxi networks and companies holding "free" plates hand back the plates and the income generated by all Nexus Taxi Plates and other plates given to them by the government.
3. Open up the Taxi Register like Company Registers.
4. Issue taxi plates to working taxi drivers only. (Instead of empowering networks to intimidate taxi drivers the Government must empower taxi drivers & operators to pressure networks into providing the booking services that the traveling public wants and is entitled to).
5. Gradually remove speculative investors from owning taxi plates. Remember, they brought corruption rather than creativity.
6. Stop issuing false and misleading Media Releases like the one below. Stop past and future unnecessary harassment of taxi drivers in order to divert attention from the corruption and incompetence within the government and bureaucracy.
7. Re-establish the Taxi Advisory Council and Taxi Drivers' Safety Task Force as per the principles laid down by Justice Edwards and Beattie as well as Sir Asher Joel’s recommendation.
8. Allow and nurture the Taxi Advisory Council and Taxi Drivers' Safety Task Force without them being infiltrated by taxi mafia, stooges and Labor Party thugs.
9. Have a Taxi Royal Commission with widest possible Terms of Reference.
