Complaints against Justice Brereton corruptly dismissed by NSW Judicial Commission

NSW Judicial commission


I Paul Anthony Sharpless wish to make a complaint against Justice Paul Brereton of the NSW supreme court. My complaints against Justice Brereton are divided into Part 1 and Part 2. Full details are provided in Part 2 of this submission.

I additionally ask that the complaints I make be read in conjunction with the entire court proceedings and the mediation hearing held weeks before the court hearing.

Part 1

Section 1.1 Justice Brereton knowingly made false public statements in a NSW supreme court document.

Section 1.2 Justice Brereton shows lack of Judicial independence and bad behaviour.

Section 1.3 Justice Brereton continually and knowingly lied and deceived in judgement. A list of justice Brereton’s lies are contained in part 2 section 2.3.

The evidence and information I presented in court under oath before justice Brereton bears no relation to justice Brereton’s judgment. Justice Brereton knowingly and repetitively lied to assist commander Paul McKibbin and the ADF.

Justice Brereton knowingly and repetitively lied to assist commander Paul McKibbin avoid prosecution of many criminal offences. These many criminal offences are elaborated in section 2.3.

Justice Brereton knowingly and repetitively lied to assist commander Paul McKibbin’s employer the ADF. Justice Brereton is also an employee of the ADF.

Justice Brereton knowingly and repeatedly lied to cause severe economic hardship to plaintiff Paul Sharpless and diminish the economic and legal responsibilities for commander Paul McKibbin.

Justice Brereton knowingly and repetitively lied to prevent plaintiff Paul Sharpless from receiving his legal entitlements such as wages and superannuation owed. Justice Brereton’s judgment consequently resulted in plaintiff Paul Sharpless’ bankruptcy.

Section 1.4 Bias of Justice Brereton in the judgement.

Section 1.5 Perverting the course of justice by justice Brereton.

Section 1.6 Conspiracy by justice Brereton with others to pervert the course of justice. Justice Brereton has conspired with his employer and Paul McKibbin to pervert the course of justice. Justice Brereton conspired with others to further ensure Paul Sharpless was silenced.

Justice Brereton conspired with his employer the ADF to pervert the course of justice in the New South Wales Supreme Court and greatly assist RAN commander for McKibbin.

Justice Brereton has been a major participant in the cover-up of major criminal activity, including attempted murder of Paul Sharpless by the ADF and many others.

Justice Brereton conspired to assist Paul McKibbin and members of the ADF pervert the course of justice, including attempts to harass and murder Paul Sharpless.

In support of these allegations I submit the attached Details of Complaint which I solemnly and sincerely declare are true, and request that the complaint be investigated by the judicial Commission.

I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the Oaths Act 1900.

Details of complaint

Name of legal matter: Paul Anthony Sharpless versus Paul Ellis McKibbin

Part 2.
I Paul Sharpless gave the following information under oath before justice Brereton.
The opportunity to appear in the New South Wales Supreme Court was an opportunity to expose what I have been subjected to over a 19 year period. This being the illegal and criminal actions of Paul McKibbin and many others were able to be covered up by justice Brereton is indeed a most corrupt perversion of justice. It is a conspiracy in the legal meaning.

It is a complete miscarriage of justice against Paul Sharpless.

Members of the ADF on average get married three times during their military service. Upon leaving the ADF over 50% of ADF members leave their partners and any children to commence at their new life. This is because they want to get rid of everything that reminds them of the ADF. Justice Brereton’s judgment displays bullying typical of ADF members to their partners.

In 1990 I required the services of a solicitor to recover a small business debt. Friends at the time suggested solicitor Brian Roberts. I chose Brian Roberts as my solicitor and over time we became friends and met socially for coffee and on occasion dinner. In time I came to realize Brian Roberts activities were more involved with organized crime then with his work as a solicitor. Unfortunately I discovered Brian Roberts had not done anything to assist me with the recovery of the money owed to me.

I also became aware Brian Roberts was a major criminal, indeed Brian Roberts told me members of the New South Wales police were involved with the murder of Ludwig Gertsch and his Roger Claude Teyssedre. Brian Roberts told me he paid $50,000 to two New South Wales police associated with the two murders and the police. I provided this information to the police initially in statements and later to Stephen Rushton SC.

I complained about the actions of solicitor Brian Roberts to the New South Wales Law Society. Law society over a period of time kept changing the people investigating my complaint and each new person said they needed to reassess the complaint from scratch. The NSW Law Society finally saying they would take no action to assist me. Justice Hamilton advised the NSW law society to do nothing regarding my complaints.

I then pursued my grievance with the New South Wales legal services Commissioner, Mr Mark. Indeed Mr Mark invited me to meet him in his city office. It was at that meeting Mr. Mark and I discussed many things. The legal services Commissioner was aware of solicitor Brian Roberts illegal activity and the solicitor’s involvement in the murder of his two clients. The legal services Commissioner took no actions to assist me and only enabled a fellow solicitor to get away with murdering two of his clients. In time I discovered Brian Roberts was also involved in the murders of two more people. Brian Roberts and Bruce Burrell were work colleagues and collaborated on many illegal activities. Bruce Burrell was later found guilty for the murders of Kerry Whelan and Dorothy Davis. Again I contacted the NSW police but again nothing happened. Indeed I was threatened by the chief investigating officer involved with the Kerry Whelan case.

Linking the four murders together I contacted the television program “unsolved murders” (I may be wrong about the programs title here.) I spoke at length to the producer who accepted the links but said there was nothing he wished to do further. He did say however he will be able to dine out on the links of the murders at many dinner parties for many years.

New South Wales legal services Commissioner, Mr. Mark, saying he would take no action to assist me saying, “there are allot of evil people in the world and the best thing I could do was to forget everything and start again.”

This hardly seemed justice. The legal services commissioner also complained his department was grossly understaffed and unable to cope with the ever growing work load. The legal services commissioner complained 50% of the complaints his department received were from people unable to speak English and the translation of their complaints slowed his department down completely. This was a nonsensical argument to me as my complaint was in English and the Commissioner despite knowing solicitor Brian Roberts was largely involved in the murder of two of his clients did nothing and did not contact the New South Wales police.

Brian Roberts is currently missing and still wanted for the two murders and his many other illegal activities.

In 1993 I first met Paul McKibbin. He informed me he was a senior in Australian intelligence services in addition to being at that time, a lieutenant commander in the Royal Australian Navy. The relationship continued and I was informed I would require a security check. It was during the screening process I informed them of the problems I had encountered in the past with solicitor Brian Roberts and how the total in action and cover ups by government and legal authorities had financially and otherwise cost me.

I was informed I had passed the security check. I was then asked to sign a statement saying I would not say anything bad about the Australian military and its security and intelligence services. This was because as Paul McKibbin’s partner we often discussed many topics the knowledge of which was not in the public domain. I refused to sign the statement though.

Soon after this I was informed of death threats by solicitor Brian Roberts. I was told Brian Roberts and some of his friends wanted me dead. In the years that followed I was terrorized by many death threats. These often came at times when I was commencing new jobs, work projects or other important times. Paul McKibbin at all times saying he would protect me and look after me when I received the many death threats. The death threats numbered at least three each year.

I was continually subjected to being told of more death threats. On occasions I was confronted by strangers who subjected me to threats. I sought the assistance of the police but they said no action would be taken. Some police officers also said the best thing I could do was forget everything, but this proved impossible as I continued to receive more death threats.

When the newspapers announced Kerry Whelan’s disappearance and then showed a picture of Bruce Burrell I questioned if this was the same person who worked illegally with Brian Roberts. It turns out it is. I contacted the chief police investigator and told him of the connection. At the first court hearing Bruce Burrell was acquitted. I then contacted Mr. Whelan’s solicitor and told him of Bruce Burrells criminal connections and alerted him strong possibility some New South Wales police were involved in Kerry Whelans disappearance.

Several days later the chief police investigator contacted me and told me in no way was Bruce Burrell involved with the disappearance of Kerry Whelan. He was extremely angry that I had contacted Mr. Whelans solicitor. The police officer then threatened me and told me to remain silent. Years later I contacted and met with then DPP officer, Steve Rushton SC who was investigating Brian Roberts illegal activities and his links to the murders of Ludwig Gertsch and Roger Claude Teyssedre.

Mr. Rushton said he was unaware of the links between the four murders and found it very plausible. It also gave greater credence as to how and who assisted Bruce Burrell move kerry Whelans body.

It should also be stated Brian Roberts brother was a senior Australian intelligence officer working for a Australian intelligence in the UK when I first met Brian Roberts. Former solicitor Brian Roberts changed his name and has disappeared completely. The actual number of people involved in the murders remains unsolved.

As the death threats continued I sought the assistance of my former local member Sandra Norrie. I met with Ms. Norrie in her office on Parramatta Road after writing to her with my problems. Sandra Norrie seemed aware of the people concerned and offered me witness protection. At the same time though she said I would be stupid to take witness protection and the best chance for my survival was to forget everything and go away. This once again seems hardly an option. The death threats continued.

In 1999 commander Paul McKibbin was himself extorted by Nicholas Wood. At the time Paul McKibbin was working at ADF headquarters in Sydney, and in Australian theater also known as the war room. The East Timorese conflict was at that time at a critical point. Paul McKibbin had discussed with me the importance of the conflict and other conflicts in Indonesia at the same time. Paul McKibbin said he was too busy to deal with the extortion and it was one more thing I have to deal with. Paul McKibbin turned his mobile telephone off so the extortionist could not contact him.

I first went to Annandale police to seek assistance and was told I would be better off going to the area command at Marrickville police station. I made a statement to the Marrickville police and was soon after advised to pay the initial extortion demand. I did this with the assistance of a third party and after contacting my next- door neighbor who was a solicitor.

During the extortion I was continually harassed, stalked and assaulted. The extortionist, Nicholas Wood said he would completely destroy me. He said he would kill me slowly and described to me how he would do it. He told me many times on the phone how he would slowly kill me. This was even after we paid the first extortion demand. After paying the first extortion demand we went subjected to another extortion demand and then an extortion demand for $1 million. I stood fast during all of this thinking at times I would be killed any minute soon. The ADF was aware of what I was going through but did nothing to assist me. I had been told they were watching me to see nothing happened to me but there was no evidence of this.

The Marrickville police also did nothing to assist me. I was able to take out an AVO with the assistance of the Kings Cross police. The extortionist or rather extortionists were not fully aware of the seriousness and ramifications of their extortion.

All I saw was more people wanted me dead now.

All of these events has been covered up and continue to be covered up by the ADF, members of the New South Wales police force and others. The area commander, Lola Scott advised me in writing I had imagined the whole thing. The police integrity commission advised me on the information they received from the New South Wales police they would take no action.

One police officer wrote to me saying if I continued he would take legal action against me.

I contacted the New South Wales Atty. Gen.’s office concerning what I had been subjected to and was advised that the New South Wales Atty. Gen.’s office would be taking no action.

Nicholas Wood had cost Paul McKibbin approximately $150,000 but Paul McKibbin did not pursue Nicholas Woods extortion, fraud or other illegal acts at all.

A prosecutor from the NSW DPP said he would ruin my life completely if I did not forget everything that had taken place. I saw this as another part of the continuing cover-up and me being subjected to more threats.

During the course of the extortion I had prepared myself for my death. It seemed many people wanted me dead and in the circumstances I preferred to be able to take my own life then be subjected to the pain others would inflict on me.
I continued to receive death threats and in 2004 my parents were advised of death threats as well. This was all too much. I have become aware it seemed members of the ADF wanted me dead as well it seemed as former solicitor Brian Roberts.

Over time I had complained and wrote to the ADF concerning my treatment and the many years of death threats I had been subjected to. It was during a conversation I had with Ms. Joe Bastian of then Gen. Cosgrove’s office I was told,” there are a small group of people in the military who want me dead but I shouldn’t be concerned as it is a small group of people and not everybody in the military wants me dead.”

Getting no assistance from the ADF I contacted the Commonwealth ombudsman’s office. This was both in written form and telephone conversations. It was during one such telephone conversation I had with a Commonwealth ombudsman male employee he made me aware Paul McKibbin and some of his friends in the ADF were responsible for my many years of death threats.

All of this has been elaborated on during the court hearing before justice Brereton.

Despite making statements to many government officials and attempting to seek help all said go away or in the case of the ADF I do not exist anyway.

The defense minister and the minister for defense, science, and personnel have made me persona non grata and stated as such. A letter from the minister of defense, science, and personnel is included below

THE HON WARREN SNOWDON MP
Minister for Defence Science and Personnel

Dear Mr Sharpless

9 MAR 2008

I refer to your e-mail messages to me and my office concerning your safety and your allegations of inappropriate behaviour by members of Defence and others outside the Australian Defence Force and the Department of Defence.

I note that you have previously raised your concerns with a number of different agencies and on a number of occasions. I am advised that the Defence Security Authority has looked into the matters that you have raised and has determined that they do not warrant further action by Defence. Your concerns cannot be resolved by the Department and a number of your issues would be more appropriately raised with the New South Wales police. I suggest that you refer these matters to them.

I regret that I cannot be of more assistance to you.


The federal attorney general’s office has requested information from the defence department, the minister for defence, and the minister for defence science and personnel. The investigator in the commonwealth attorney general’s office said the Defence Department and the two ministers refuse to take any calls concerning me.

I enquired then of the federal attorney general’s office officier if I had been made persona non grata. The officer in the federal attorney general’s office said, “no he wouldn’t even give it a name.”

I have been advised by the minister for defence and the minister for defence science and personnel not to ever contact them again.

Section 2.1 Making a knowingly false public legal statement in a NSW supreme court document.

The court hearing in the New South Wales Supreme Court, Paul Sharpless versus Paul McKibbin was originally before Justice Hamilton. On the second day of the court hearing Justice Hamilton resigned and only saying he had become aware of a conflict of interest. Justice Hamilton did not state what the conflict of interest was.

At morning recess my solicitor Tom Reeve informed me he had been called to the chief justice’s office. My solicitor Tom Reeve stating to me, “I’ve been called to the chief justice’s office, I’m going to the chief justice’s office, but it must be something wrong, I’ve done something wrong, the Chief Justice wants to see me.”

I waited to see what the problem was and what was happening concerning my court case. My solicitor Tom Reeve returned from the Chief Justice’s office and informed me a new judge has been pointed. He said the Chief Justice had appointed justice Brereton.

Later that day I informed my parents what had happened that day and other people. The conversations revolving around the appointment of the new justice to my case.

Since that time, my solicitor has Tom Reeve has lied and stated he cannot remember who he met. My solicitor Tom Reeve said he would look at his diary and ask counsel who it was he actually met. In writing Tom Reeve said it may have been the chief of equity but again saying he would have to check his diary and ask counsel.

These new written statements by Tom Reeve are contrary to what Tom Reeve told me initially on the second morning of the court case, and are contrary to the information I told other people concerning the events of the day.

I find it difficult to believe solicitor Tom Reeve, being called to Chief Justice Spigelman’s office and telling me repeatedly he was going, finds it difficult to remember meeting the Chief Justice of the New South Wales Supreme Court and has to look in his diary and ask counsel what actually took place.

It is more a rarity than a common occurrence that the Chief Justice intervenes and calls solicitors to meet him in his office during court cases in the New South Wales Supreme Court. My solicitor Tom Reeve clearly told me he was called to the chief justice’s office and that the Chief Justice had appointed the justice Brereton to my case. My solicitor Tom Reeve, now thinking he didn’t meet Chief Justice Spigelman is referring to his diary and his counsel to see what happened.

I find it difficult to believe my solicitor Tom Reeve can’t remember if he met Chief Justice Spigelman in his offices and said in writing was unaware who he had met.

I am informed, and I see it of no merit, Paul McKibbin’s barrister has sided with my solicitor Tom Reeve and both are now saying it was not Chief Justice Spigelman’s office. This is the same barrister who lied continually and totally in the courtroom before justice Brereton even accusing me of stealing $700,000 from Paul McKibbin. In the circumstances Paul McKibbin’s barristers credibility is non-existent and again her reasons for this lie and deception are another attempt to pervert the course of justice.

Additionally, I see no merit in complaining about the actions of my solicitor Tom Reeve and McKibbin’s barrister in light of my past experiences. Unfortunately when I did complain about a former solicitor Brian Roberts the New South Wales Law Society did nothing to assist me. This is despite Brian Roberts being involved in killing two of his former clients and linked to the murders of Kerry Whelan and Dorothy Davis. As the new south wales law society did not help me at all in these circumstances, it is fruitless to think they will help me in the current predicament involving the perversion of justice.

The New South Wales Law Society dealt with my original complaints by doing nothing and stating my course of action was to contact the legal services commission.

I contacted the legal services Commissioner at the time, Mr. Mark, as I described in the courtroom before justice Brereton. advised me to forget everything and go away, adding “there are some very evil people in the world and the best thing I could do was go away, forget everything, and start again.”

The New South Wales legal services commissioner is still the same person 14 years later.

On day two after lunch, of the eight day court hearing justice Brereton became the judicial officer.

justice Brereton’s judgment is a completely false legal document full of lies, deceptions, total bias in favor of the defendant Paul McKibbin.

At the same time justice Breretons’ public legal document on many occasions perverts the course of justice in total favor of Paul McKibbin negating his criminal acts and negating his legal responsibilities. These actual occurrences I have described in other sections of this document.

Even more importantly though, justice Brereton has conspired with others to pervert the course of justice and not just perverted the course of justice by himself. These actual instances are detailed in the last section of my submission to the judicial commission.

The justice Brereton, as a judicial officer of the New South Wales Supreme Court, has produced public legal documentation in an attempt to carry out his criminal illegal actions. Justice Brereton’s actions and in this case documentation are on public record and have consequently affected the plaintiff Paul Sharpless.

In the justice Brereton’s public documentation Paul Sharpless is described as delusional, paranoid, a person who has stolen in excess of $400,000 from the defendant Paul McKibbin, and has avoided work of all types.

In justice Brereton’s public statements, justice Brereton said he considered charging Paul Sharpless with many criminal acts but has taken this into account in the final settlement figure he reached.

Reading justice Brereton’s public statements, a member of the public would draw the conclusion Paul Sharpless has been responsible for many illegal actions and will no doubt, if he hasn’t already, be doing jail time soon.

Justice Brereton in his public statements and documentation has completely destroyed the good character of Paul Sharpless.

I Paul Sharpless found it completely impossible for many months to read past the first three pages of justice Brereton’s public judgment. I found it completely vile and sickening.

The justice Brereton has used his public position in the community and in the New South Wales Supreme Court to publicly and legally ridicule another person.

The public and legal document produced by justice Brereton cannot be changed. It is a judicial document attempting to completely destroy another human being, namely Paul Sharpless.

Questions therefore naturally arise as to why a New South Wales Supreme Court judge who is also a member of the ADF would completely jeopardize his judicial career to pervert the course of justice and conspire with others to pervert the course of justice.

Section 2.2 Lack of Judicial independence and bad behaviour

Access to the New South Wales Supreme Court for judicial decisions is an expensive legal procedure. That being so, many people are unable to pursue legal remedies for illegal actions.

It is therefore imperative plaintiffs and defendants are appointed a justice who is seen to be, and is, completely independent.

And this did not occur in the case of Sharpless versus McKibbin.

Justice Brereton and Paul McKibbin are members of the ADF and therefore there is a conflict of interest regarding judicial independence.

Being a member of the ADF is not something you do in your spare time. Indeed justice Brereton on occasions during the court hearings involving Sharpless versus McKibbin was late, explaining he had ADF business to attend to.

The average ADF member will marry or separate three times whilst in the ADF. Fifty percent of ADF members will devorce and or separate when they leave the military.

Having a judge on the New South Wales Supreme Court who additionally works for the ADF is a conflict of interest. In my circumstances justice Brereton should have refused the case immediately and or he should not have been appointed. This would have avoided any seen conflict of interest and the possibility of bias occurring in the case.

Justice Brereton showed complete bias in favor of commander Paul McKibbin in his judgment. Justice Brereton though went further than this and in repetitively lying and deceiving perverts the course of justice to assist Paul McKibbin avoid criminal charges. This is also shown in this document of complaint justice Brereton conspires to pervert the course of justice.

It should additionally be noted the ADF and Australian intelligence agencies spend vast sums of money each year on judicial proceedings. The ADF and Australian intelligence agencies have employed most if not all major legal firms as counsel. Having a judge on the New South Wales Supreme Court who is still actively working for the ADF is a complete conflict of interest.

Section 2.3 Lying and deception

The definition of lie and lying is as follows:

A falsification or misrepresentation of the facts.
To make a statement that one knows is false, especially with the intent to deceive.
To give false impression, deceive.
To make a full statement or action, especially one made with the intent to deceive

The definition of deception is as follows:

Lie / deception 1 paragraph 1 page 1
Commander Paul McKibbin between 1 July 1994 and 30 June 2005 earned income totalling about 440,000 net.

Reply Paul McKibbin was a senior intelligence analyst, a former senior intelligence operative, deputy director of an intelligence agency, (namely the defence missile shield which is principally a US military intelligence project), part of a highly secretative intelligence list, a military analyst, a warfare officer, and a commander in the Royal Australian. Paul McKibbin’s security classifications during this time were C,D, and F.

Lie / deception 2
In the circumstances Paul McKibbin earn’t much more then $44,000 net each year. Justice Brereton gives a false impression in stating Paul McKibbin earns about $44,000 net during this period.

Lie / deception 3
justice Brereton only refers to net amounts in money earnt. This gives a deceiving picture of the gross amount of money actually earnt. At no point in this judgment does justice Brereton mention gross annual income. Justice Brereton creates the image Paul McKibbin did not do much in his Navy career. This is despite the actual positions he held.

Lie / deception 4
Justice Brereton only refers to Paul McKibbin’s position in the Royal Australian Navy. In 1994 and onwards Paul McKibbin actually worked in tri-service military areas but his main focus was on security and intelligence projects. These included joint US and Australian security projects. This was mentioned by me under oath in the courtroom.

Justice Brereton would have us believe Paul McKibbin was just another member of the Royal Australian Navy doing a job. This was not true. Paul McKibbin worked for the materials section of the military. The materials section of the military is responsible for allocating and resourcing military expenditure.

Lie / deception 5
as mentioned in the courtroom but not mentioned by justice Brereton, one such project is the Australian component of the missile defence shield. Paul McKibbin often discussed his role in the defence shield with me. The Australian component of the defence shield has publicly reportedly spent in excess of 2 billion Australian dollars so far.

As I stated in the courtroom before justice Brereton, Paul McKibbin repetitively told me this figure was far from correct and the actual amount the Australian government had spent on the Australian component of the defence missile shield was in excess of 4 billion Australian dollars.

Lie / deception 6
As again mentioned in the courtroom but not mentioned in justice Brereton’s judgment, as a senior intelligence officer Paul McKibbin always brought work home with him, either on one of the two lap tops he received from the ADF or written classified documents. Our various homes were always full of classified documents and for the most part at least one of the ADF issued laptops remained at home.

Paul McKibbin often discussed the defence missile shield with me. Indeed on one occasion Paul McKibbin and I discussed a presentation Paul McKibbin was to give the next day.

Lie / deception 7
justice Brereton said he found no evidence Paul McKibbin ever worked with Australian intelligence agencies. During the court case I said for several years whilst he was posted to Canberra Paul McKibbin only wore suits to work as his main role was working on the intelligence components of the missile defence shield, then known as the Jinderlee or Jorn project. Justice Brereton deceives by not mentioning any of the information presented in court concerning Paul McKibbin’s various roles.

Lie / deception 8
justice Brereton has attempted to deceive by not mentioning the following which was mentioned by myself in the courtroom. Paul McKibbin told me on many occasions:

1) the ADF/intelligence project was riddled with corruption and massive fraud.

2) the defence missile shield cannot and does not work despite the $4 billion Australian dollars spent on the project. From many conversations with Paul McKibbin it is my understanding the defence missile shield essentially detects missiles for the purpose of destroying them before they reach their targets. Paul McKibbin told me this is not possible. The defence shield cannot and does not work despite 4 billion Australian taxpayer dollars being spent on it.

If the defence shield was to truly work it would be akin to an all knowing God knowing what is happening on the entire world’s surface in real time every second and be able to pinpoint exactly when a missile has been launched.

This is impossible due to the amount of air traffic comprising aircraft, helicopters, flocks of birds, weather conditions, balloons, general movement and other things and the inability to identify what is what.

It is also impossible as human beings to be able to identify the object as an actual launched missile every time.

Paul McKibbin told me the Australian component of the defense missile shield like the US defence missile shield does not and cannot work.

The question then remains where has the billions of Australian tax payer and government dollars been spent, who received it and what if anything was received in return.

The ADF has much to hide concerning its participation in the US-based missile defense shield.

Lie / deception 9 paragraph 1 page 1
Between 1 July 1997 and 30 June 2002 Paul Sharpless and income totalling about $31,000 net, almost exclusively in the form of unemployment benefits.

Reply Between 1998 and 2002 Paul Sharpless did not receive unemployment benefits at all.
Paul Sharpless was manager of Sign-a-rama Petersham. The business had been bought by Paul McKibbin who took out a large loan. The business was principally established by Paul Sharpless.

Paul Sharpless found the business premises, designed and carried out the shop fit out, employed staff, established business procedures and commenced the business from scratch while Paul McKibbin was working in Canberra. A short time after the commencement of Sign-a- rama Paul McKibbin was subjected to a serious extortion. As a result of this and other actions by Paul McKibbin, Paul Sharpless has never received his full entitlements for working in the business as its manager and major sales person.

The amount of money is said to be in excess of $100,000. This amount was calculated by the company bookkeeper. This does not include holiday pay, nor superannuation. After arranging the sale of Sign-a- rama at the insistence of Paul McKibbin, Paul Sharpless then took on the role of full time carer for Paul McKibbin.

As stated by Paul Sharpless during the court case it took in excess of six months before Paul Sharpless was able to obtain his first carers payment from Centrelink. This was because Paul McKibbin principally worked in intelligence and appears on very few data bases. During this time Paul Sharpless received financial help from his parents.

The other employees in the business continued to work for sign-a- rama as Paul Sharpless arranged.

Lie / deception 10
Justice Brereton does not mention Paul McKibbin did not pay Paul Sharpless in excess of $100,000 in wages and superannuation.

Lie / deception 11
Despite being mentioned in the courtroom justice Brereton does not refer at all in his judgment to Paul Sharpless’ many difficulties, the extortion he was subjected to, nor the many attempts on his life.

Justice Brereton does not refer at all in his judgment to the many years of death threats Paul Sharpless received from Paul McKibbin and others in ADF. Justice Brereton has given a gross mis-representation of Paul Sharpless’s ability and simply referred to him as predominantly unemployed during his entire time with Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 12 paragraph 1 page 1
Mr. Sharpless had no assets of any significance

Reply Justice Brereton lies and gives a false impression in this statement.
Justice Brereton during his judgment only makes note of Paul McKibbin’s work and employer. Justice Brereton does not make reference to Paul Sharpless’ previous work as a qualified interior designer. Paul Sharpless graduated from the Sydney College of the arts with a degree in interior design in 1985

As stated during the court case Paul Sharpless received three offers of employment before his graduation. He accepted the first offer from a small firm in Paddington. His increasing interior design skills enabled him to do major design, refurbishment and styling projects.

His first interior design project was for the Sebel Townhouse hotel in Elizabeth Bay..While at the small interior design firm he did many other projects including hotels such as the Southern Cross Hotel in Sydney, and the floating hotel on the barrier reef. Paul Sharpless also designed various restaurants, private houses and the design of furniture. After this he worked for another to interior designer In Queen St., Woollahra. By this time he had purchased a half share in his first house with his then partner. The house was located In Victoria Ave., Woollahra. Paul Sharpless then went on to open his own office in Queen Street, Woollahra. After this he was invited to work for interior designer Philip Silver. Paul Sharpless was then able to work on the redevelopment of Hayman Island, the headquarters for then Bond Corporation in Perth and many other major projects.

Despite the information provided to the court justice Brereton portrays Paul Sharpless in his judgment as a non-achieving hopeless, mainly unemployable thief. This is now on public record as and a gross misrepresentation.

Lie / deception 13 page 1 paragraph 1
Mr. Sharpless claims that by reason of his contributions during the relationship, chiefly domestic contributions to the welfare of Mr. McKibbin

Reply This is a gross misrepresentation of the facts by justice Brereton who omits to mention the money owed to Paul Sharpless by Paul McKibbin. The many death threats and other actions by Paul McKibbin and members of the ADF.

I gave my information and answers under oath in the New South Wales Supreme Court. It was an opportunity for me to state the many serious and sometimes deadly experiences I had been subjected to by McKibbin and members of the ADF. Up until my appearance in the New South Wales Supreme Court I had only endured cover up after cover-up by members of the ADF who said I did not exist and had no rights, and members of various government departments and politicians from various political affiliations.

I subsequently found justice Brereton’s judgment to be more than bias. I found justice Brereton conspired to pervert the course of justice like all of the ADF members before him. He has done this by continually lying and being continually deceitful.

Lie / deception 14
Justice Brereton gave great weight to the statements of Paul McKibbin and his barrister. Many of the statements by Paul Mckibbin and his barrister were without foundation and complete lies.

Lie / deception 15 page 3 paragraph 4
Justice Brereton states, Accordingly, the principal issues are:

Was fear a domestic relationship between the parties;

What is the divisible pool property;

Were the respective contributions of the parties under S. 20:

What order should be made, as a matter of justice and equity, to reflect and recognize those contributions

Reply Justice Brereton does not at all mention the criminal actions Paul Sharpless was subjected to by Paul McKibbin and members of the ADF. By restricting himself to these principal issues Justice Brereton continually lies and deceives and in doing so perverted the course of justice.

Lie / deception 16 page 3 paragraph 6
This is more deception and lies by justice Brereton who concentrates on the assets and superannuation of Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton does not mention the superannuation, wages and other entitlements that should have been paid to Paul Sharpless by Paul McKibbin for managing his business. Paul McKibbin refused to pay them.

Justice Brereton additionally does not state because of severe economic hardship by Paul McKibbin and others, Paul Sharpless was forced to obtain his superannuation funds early at a greatly reduced price.

All of this was mentioned in the courtroom and justice Brereton has deceived by not including it but instead only referring Paul McKibbin’s superannuation.

Lie 17
Mr. McKibbin elected to transfer to MSBS and to contribute 10% of his salary ( in lieu of the compulsory minimum 5% member contribution).

Reply Paul McKibbin was medically discharged from the ADF on 4 July 2001. In the five years prior to this Paul McKibbin personally contributed $27,000 each year to his superannuation fund. Justice Brereton maintains Paul McKibbin received $44,000 net in salary. The justice Brereton has lied and been deceitful in this area.

Lie / deception 18 Page 4 paragraph 8
Justice Brereton states “Mr. Sharpless was renting a bed-sitter flat in St. John’s Road, Glebe,”

Reply Paul McKibbin’s barrister went to great lengths during the court case to say Paul Sharpless’ unit was a very small bed-sitter. My apartment was actually a one-bedroom unit with a balcony, a car space and a large storage space. Despite Paul Sharpless repetitively stating his apartment was a one-bedroom unit as stated above, justice Brereton once again lied, taking the side of Paul McKibbin’s barrister and stated it as fact is judgment.

Lie / deception 19 Page 5 paragraph 9
Justice Brereton states Paul McKibbin substantially funded the holiday.

Reply This is not true. Paul McKibbin used his Qantas frequent flyer points acquired during his many trips and travels for defence and intelligence.

As stated during the court case by Paul Sharpless, Paul McKibbin moved in with Paul Sharpless after moving from Adelaide. Paul McKibbin stored many items in Paul Sharpless’ storage space in the unit in Glebe. Both Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin stayed for a time at Woolloomooloo Waters during the refit of HMAS Brisbane. Once the refit was completed Paul McKibbin moved most of his clothing and personal possessions into Paul Sharpless’ one-bedroom unit. Most of Paul McKibbins furniture was still being stored by the Navy.

Paul McKibbin lived with Paul Sharpless at the one-bedroom unit in Glebe and travelled each morning to HMAS Brisbane. This was stated during the court case by Paul Sharpless. It can be verified by many people on HMAS Brisbane from the time including sailor Scotty who was Paul McKibbin’s personal assistant.

Justice Brereton again lies and aligns himself with Paul McKibbin in his judgment.

Lie / deception 20 Page 5 paragraph 10
Justice Brereton states, “Mr. Sharpless was in employment for about three months during 1995, ceasing on 28th of March 1995 this was the only employment he had held since 1991.”

Reply Justice Brereton’s above statements are lies and deceptions. As documented during the court case Paul Sharpless was subjected to an integrity check in 1994 while Paul McKibbin was at sea and uncontactable. The details of the integrity check were detailed in the court case before Justice Brereton.

Paul Sharpless subsequently lost his job because of the integrity check. Soon after this Paul Sharpless commenced working for another company. He ceased working for this company on 28th of March 1995 and went to Canberra to make arrangements for Paul McKibbin who was returning from sea with HMAS Brisbane.

Justice Brereton during his judgment only makes note of Paul McKibbin’s work and employer as ADF. Even then. Justice Brereton only mentions Paul McKibbins work with the Navy. Justice Brereton does states at times there is no is reason to believe paul Mckibbin has ever does any work associated with Australian intelligence. This is a complete lie.

Justice Brereton does not make reference to Paul Sharpless’s previous work as a qualified interior designer. Justice Brereton portrays Paul Sharpless in his judgment as a non-achieving hopeless, mainly unemployable thief.

Justice Brereton gave great weight to the statements of Paul McKibbin and his barrister and little credence to any of the statements by Paul Sharpless and his solicitor.

Lie / deception 21 Page 5 paragraph 11
Justice Brereton lies when heer states, “Paul Sharpless commenced receiving unemployment benefits only upon arrival in Canberra. Justice Brereton in a statement, “and held himself out essentially as prepared to work, “

As stated in the court case Paul Sharpless moved to Canberra several weeks before Paul McKibbin. During this time he painted several rooms in the house, and arranged for the furniture to be delivered by the removalists and then proceeded to arrange the furniture and unpack all the boxes. Paul Sharpless also did the gardening and commenced looking for work in Canberra. Paul Sharplesss furniture and the newly painted living room then appearing in a colour photo in a Canberra newspaper, when Paul Sharpless advertised as a new interior designer in Canberra.

Lie / deception 22 Page 5 paragraph 11
Justice Brereton says, “Mr. Sharpless continued to receive unemployment benefits, and held himself out essentially as prepared to work.”

Reply Justice Brereton’s statement is again erroneous. Justice Brereton deceives and portrays the image Paul Sharpless did not want to work at all. This was not true. Paul Sharpless gave evidence in the courtroom since 1994 he had been told of death threats to him by then solicitor Brian Roberts who has since changed his name. This was elaborated fully in the courtroom and justice Brereton has dismissed the information completely. The death threats actually originated from Paul McKibbin who subjected Paul Sharpless to the threats for over 11 years.

Lie /deception 23
Justice Brereton lies and deceives when he states, ”he ( Paul Sharpless ) was employed only very spasmodically while in Canberra.

Reply Again Justice Brereton does not state the many reasons why Paul Sharpless was unable to work. Namely the many death threats Paul Sharpless was being subjected too.
Lie / deception 24
Justice Brereton states, “Meanwhile, Mr. McKibbin was promoted commander with effect 1 January 1997.”

Reply Justice Brereton deceives by not stating why Paul Kibbin was promoted to Commander. Paul McKibbin was principally promoted to Commander because of the nature of the intelligence work he was doing and the security clearances he had. It was impossible to be Deputy director of the Jorn project (defence missile shield) and hold other security positions being just a lieutentant commander.

Lie / deception 25
Paul Sharpless mentioned the many jobs he had been able to do in Canberra and in Sydney. Justice Brereton refers to this as spasmodic. Justice Brereton shows deception and bias here.

Lie / deception 26
Whilst justice Brereton refers to Paul McKibbin’s promotion as commander, he does not refer to any of his intelligence work or other major military work. Justice Brereton does not mention Paul McKibbin is a military and intelligence analyst nor does justice Brereton mention Paul McKibbin works on a small intelligence list for Australian intelligence. All of this was mentioned by Paul Sharpless in court.

Lie / deception 27 Page 6 paragraph 12
Justice Brereton’s statements in this paragraph are completely erroneous. He again sides with Paul McKibbin and states, ”the parties were drifting apart and their sexual relationship ceased in June 1997. ”

Reply Paul McKibbin said the sexual relationship ended in 1997 in an attempt to have the New South Wales Supreme Court say the case should have been brought in the ACT Supreme Court. Sexual relations did occur between Paul McKibbin and Paul Sharpless during and after 1997.

Lie / deception 28
Unfortunately Paul McKibbin drank even more excessively in 1997 than usual. Earlier than 1994 Paul McKibbin had been diagnosed by military doctors as having pancreatitis. This was due to excessive drinking. Justice Brereton states in his judgement Paul McKibbins health problems originated in 2000. This is despite all military health records prior to this and his letter of military discharge due to health problems in 1999. Paul McKibbin even giving Paul Sharpless a Power of Attorney in 1999 because of his deteriating health.

Lie / deception 29
At no time did I Paul Sharpless say “I avoided him and he avoided me.” I did however say in the courtroom Paul McKibbin was and is high maintenance. I also said he had become severely depressed and was prescribed antidepressant medication which he refused to take. Paul McKibbin refused to take the antidepressant medication saying he liked being angry and difficult. I also said military doctors sent Paul McKibbin to a clinical psychologist for assistance whilst he was living in Canberra. Paul McKibbin refuted this completely and justice Brereton heavily questioned me concerning the exact name of the clinical psychologist and the location. Justice Brereton also repetitively questioned me concerning Paul McKibbin’s bouts of pancreatitis as Paul McKibbin and his barrister refuted this. At all times justice Brereton showed favourable bias to believing Paul McKibbin and his barrister rather than believing Paul Sharpless. Justice Brereton then lied in his judgement and deceived greatly concerning Paul McKibbins actual state of health.

Lie / deception 30 Page 6 paragraph 14
Justice Brereton again deceives and lies in this paragraph.

Reply Paul Sharpless described the events of this period in the courtroom. In March 1998 Paul Sharpless returned to Sydney, and rented a bedroom in an apartment in Kirribilli. As Paul Sharpless stated in the courtroom Paul McKibbin wished to return to Sydney and made moves making this possible. Paul McKibbin had become manic-depressive and a severe alcoholic. By this time Paul McKibbin was working on a number of military/security projects, and having at least three separate offices. The staff in each not talking to the others. In these conditions each thought Paul McKibbin was somewhere else whilst in reality he was drunk, severely depressed and unable to leave the house. Justice Brereton refuted this verbally in the court room.

Lie deception 31 Page 6 paragraph 14
Justice Brereton states,” Paul McKibbin purchased a Sign a rama franchise in order to provide an opportunity for Paul Sharpless to work”.

Reply This is not true and another lie by Justice Brereton. Paul McKibbin purchased the sign franchise to lower the amount of tax he paid. Paul McKibbin took out business loan for the purchase price of the franchise and for other purchases. Paul McKibbin then proceeded to make the company debt ridden. In an earlier statement justice Brereton states Paul Sharpless was completely unemployed during the same period. The two statements the judge makes are contradictory. Justice Brereton made this statement to deceive and assist fellow ADF member Paul McKibbin avoid his legal financial employee responsibilities to Paul Sharpless and in doing so corruptly perverted the course of justice.

Lie / deception 32
Justice Brereton then states, ”Mr. Sharpless travelled to the United States to receive training for the Sign a rama franchise; the cost was born by Rushmore, and thus Mr. McKibbin“ .

Reply Again this statement by justice Brereton is not true and the actual facts were stated by Paul Sharpless in the courtroom. Paul Sharpless did travel to the United States to receive training for the sign franchise. The airfare, accommodation and most meals, training and some of the incidental expenses were paid for by Sign a rama head office. This was part of the initial franchise agreement. Paul McKibbin had raised a business loan to buy the franchise. Justice Brereton gives the impression of Paul McKibbin being a benevolent philanthropist in his dealings with Paul Sharpless. This is completely untrue as Paul McKibbin constructed the Sign o rama franchise to be heavily debt ridden for tax avoidance purposes leaving no money possible to pay Paul Sharpless after he paid the other employees and all other expenses.

Lie / deception 33 Page 6 paragraph 15
Again justice Brereton’s statements are lies and show complete bias and corruption in favour of Paul McKibbin. As stated in the courtroom Paul McKibbin did stay on occasion with Paul Sharpless in the Kirribilli premises. Paul McKibbin did ask that they get back together and live together again. As stated in the courtroom before justice Brereton Paul McKibbin did reside in the Kirribilli premises for two weeks whilst Paul Sharpless attended the franchise workshop in the United States.

Lie / deception 34
As stated by Paul Sharpless in the courtroom before justice Brereton, Paul McKibbin said the rent for the property at Annandale would be paid for by the military. Paul Sharpless had to look for the house in Annandale and arranged the rental agreement. Paul McKibbin was still working in Canberra. Paul Sharpless then arranged the removal. Paul McKibbin told me as he worked at headquarters Australian theatre and the accommodation had to be with in 30 minutes distance of the theatre. Despite Paul McKibbin’s manic depression and severe alcoholism Paul McKibbin was appointed to work in military headquarters and the war room by ADF and intelligence / security.

Lie / deception 35
Justice Brereton has attempted to cover up Paul McKibbins health state in his summation of the events to not make the ADF and intelligence / security agencies not look really stupid. Having been the partner of Paul McKibbin for 12 years my observations were the ADF and intelligence / security looked stupid on many occasions.

Lie / deception 36
As stated in the courtroom the sexual relationship between Paul McKibbin and Paul Sharpless continued when the couple moved into the accommodation in Annandale. Again Paul McKibbin and his barrister argued that and finally Paul McKibbin conceded there was at least one sexual encounter.

Lie / deception 37
Justice Brereton lies when he states Paul McKibbin and Paul Sharpless occupied separate bedrooms. As stated in the courtroom this was not true. Paul McKibbin and Paul Sharpless slept in the same bed together each night until Paul McKibbin had a major alcoholic seizure during which time he effectively broke both arms and shoulders.

Paul McKibbin received only one visitor during his many weeks in hospital. His mother was going to an art gallery opening with a friend and visited on her way to the gallery opening. Paul McKibbins mother asked if she could get money for the trip to see her son. This was most extraordinary as Paul McKibbins mother is wealthy and this has not changed.

My parents visited me to see how I was coping. The Royal Prince Alfred hospital in Sydney has a counselling service and I was approached by them to see if there was anything they could help me with. At the time I was still managing the franchise and looking after Paul McKibbin by myself. When Paul McKibbin was released from hospital the military said Paul McKibbin was not allowed home help although RPA had arranged it. The ADF cancelled it saying Paul McKibbin had me to look completely after him.

Later I was inundated with medical bills for Paul McKibbin as the ADF refused to pay any of Paul McKibbins RPA medical bills.

Lie / deception 38
At no time does justice Brereton mentioned the most difficult circumstances Paul Sharpless was subjected to by members of the military, and members of the Australian intelligence community. During the preceding years Paul Sharpless had received many death threats and on several occasions an attempt had been made on his life.

Joe Bastian of general Cosgroves office even telling Paul Sharpless there were some members of the ADF who wanted him dead.

Paul Sharpless has additionally been assaulted during Paul McKibbin’s extortion attempt. Justice Brereton additionally does not make mention of the Australian military wanting Paul Sharpless to take his own life and the means to do it would be provided. Justice Brereton does not mention Paul Sharpless’ parents were also threatened and subjected harsh treatment.

Paul Sharpless was subjected to many instances of inhumane treatment by members of the ADF and then continually told he didn’t exist anyway.

Despite statements to the court justice Brereton makes no mention of Paul Sharpless discovering who was responsible for the many death threats he had been subjected to. The many death threats over the years dating back to 1994 originating from Paul McKibbin and some of his friends in the military/security.

Justice Brereton makes no reference to this being verified by military officer Ms. Joe Bastian who at the time was working in General Cosgrove’s office. Justice Brereton additionally makes no mention of Paul Sharpless having this being restated by a member of the Commonwealth ombudsman’s office. All of this was discussed in the courtroom but justice Brereton makes no mention of it

Lie / deception 39
Justice Brereton states,” on 20 January 2000, Mr McKibbin first sought help with alcohol issues, at Balmoral Naval Hospital”.

Reply This is another lie and complete deception of Paul McKibbins health. This was the statement made by Paul McKibbin and justice Brereton has accepted it despite evidence and information presented to the court. Paul McKibbin’s medical files both from the ADF and the period after our extremely large given the number of medical conditions Paul McKibbin suffered from and were submitted to the court.

As stated earlier Paul McKibbin’s alcohol issues first surfaced with the attacks of pancreatitis in the early 1990s before he met Paul Sharpless.

Lie / deception 40
Justice Brereton further the sides with Paul McKibbin by stating in his judgment “until 2000 he had managed himself, without significant impact on his career or otherwise.”

Reply This is completely untrue and rather, the actual facts have been corruptly covered up by justice Brereton.

Lie / deception 41 Mike Purdy gave evidence Paul McKibbin on occasion was completely drunk and known to be an alcoholic. Justice Brereton referred to Mike Purdy’s statements as not having much credence. Justice Brereton said in the courtroom,” I don’t think we can give much credence to a person sitting in the middle of the park in Canberra”. Justice Brereton made the statement because Mike Purdy made his statement to the courtroom via phone link as he was unable to attend. Mike Purdy at the time was a captain working for Australian coastal patrol and is also a Navy reservist.

Lie / deception 42
 Information was also given in the courtroom by Paul Sharpless to justice Brereton that on many occasions Paul McKibbin was violent, abusive, threatening and attacked Paul Sharpless. Mention of this was made in the courtroom but justice Brereton has not mentioned it at all in his judgment.

Lie / deception 43
Paul Sharpless also mentioned Paul McKibbin threatened him with a knife. On other occasions Paul Sharpless was also punched and hit by Paul McKibbin whilst he was driving Paul McKibbin back from hospital or rehab but again justice Brereton does not mention any of this.

Lie / deception 44
Although mentioned in the court room Justice Brereton does not mention Paul Sharpless was advised by RPA counselling service to install locks on his bedroom door for his own protection. This was done.

On occasion Paul Sharpless woke up in his bed to find Paul McKibbin standing over him in complete darkness. The experience was frightening. Paul Sharpless had been warned by Ms Joe bastian the best thing Paul Sharpless could do was disappear as paul McKibbin had done the silent kill course and could kill people, making the death look like it was of natural causes.

Lie / deception 45 Page 7 paragraph 17
Justice Brereton made note of Paul Sharpless seeking legal advice in August 2000. Justice Brereton does not state what actually happened though.

Reply Paul Sharpless sought legal advice because he had not been paid by Paul McKibbin for being manager of sign a Rama Petersham and the amount was in excess of $100,000.
Lie / deception 46 Page 7 paragraph 18
This paragraph is full of lies. Deception and bias in favour of Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton hides Paul McKibbin’s alcoholism and depression. Justice Brereton states,” he injured his shoulder”. As I stated in the courtroom Paul McKibbin did more than injured his shoulder. He broke both upper arms broke one shoulder and severely injured the other.
Justice Brereton makes no reference to another most difficult time Paul Sharpless was subjected to by members of the military whilst looking after Paul McKibbin.
Lie / deception 47
Justice Brereton states, ”on 25 May 2001 Mr. McKibbin gave Mr. Sharpless -- whom he continued to regard as trustworthy friend -- a general power of attorney.”

Reply This is not the information presented to the court. These are lies and show deception by Justice Brereton. At the time McKibbin and Paul Sharpless were still in a de facto relationship.

Paul McKibbin first gave Paul Sharpless a general power of attorney in 1999 not 2001 as the justice Brereton states. This was later found to be insufficient as it did not allow Paul Sharpless to sell Sign-a-rama as Paul McKibbin directed or other property as directed by Paul McKibbin. Paul McKibbin subsequently signed an enduring power of attorney.

Lie / deception 48 Page 8 paragraph 19
Justice Brereton makes no reference to the major difficulties Paul Sharpless experienced from members of the military and intelligence forces. As Paul Sharpless stated in the courtroom by this time he had been subjected to many death threats and both the military and others have attempted to kill him. Paul Sharpless told justice Brereton he had made countless approaches to the police even on the occasion of him nearly being killed by Paul McKibbin’s extortionists, but nothing was done. Paul Sharpless received no assistance and all the events were covered up. Like other members of the ADF Justice Brereton has attempted to cover up these same activities in his judgement.

Paul Sharpless detailed the attempts he had made to have something done about the many death threats he had received. All of the following information was provided to justice Brereton in the courtroom. Paul Sharpless detailed how he had first become aware solicitor Brian Roberts had not done anything for him concerning a small legal matter he had. He told the court how he had discovered Brian Roberts was involved in major crime. In fact Brian Roberts had killed two of his own clients. Paul Sharpless said how he had also linked Brian Roberts to the murder of Kerry Whelan and others. Paul Sharpless told justice Brereton he had first contacted the New South Wales Law Society who did nothing but only made the task more difficult for Paul Sharpless. He then contacted the New South Wales legal services Commissioner. Paul Sharpless then told justice Brereton the legal services commissioner told him”, there are some very evil people in the world and the best thing he could do was forget everything and start all over again”. Over many years Paul Sharpless continued to investigate the actions of the people supposedly threatening him with death. He complained to the police and to the New South Wales police Commissioner, and the NSW attorney general’s office.

Paul Sharpless detailed many of these bad experiences but justice Brereton in his judgment has mentioned none of them. Instead, justice Brereton judgment has limited himself to Paul McKibbin’s health issues, and lied about the seriousness of these and other issues concerning Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 49 8 paragraph 49
Justice Brereton refers to the claims of Paul Sharpless as, “quite fantastic.”

This paragraph is most important in Justice Brereton’s judgement as it shows Justice Breretons willingness to lie, participate in the deception he was undertaking, show complete bias in favour of Paul McKibbin and his Barrister and in so doing not only pervert the course of justice but conspire with the ADF, Paul McKibbin and his Barrister to conspire to pervert the course of justice.

Lie / deception 50
Justice Brereton has shown total disregard for the plight of Paul Sharpless in his judgment and corruptly looked in complete favour and bias towards a fellow military officer, in this case Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton has enabled a total miscarriage of justice to be continued to be carried out against Paul Sharpless.

Lie / deception 51 Page 8 paragraph 20
Justice Brereton states in his judgment, “on 31 July 2001, Mr. McKibbin completed the purchase of the Newington town house.” this statement is erroneous.

Reply The purchase of the Newington property, arranging the mortgage, and other legals was carried out and the documents signed by Paul Sharpless with the power of attorney given to him by Paul McKibbin. During all of this Paul McKibbin was too ill convalescing at home, in- hospital, in detox for alcohol or completely drunk at home. Justice Brereton makes reference to any of this despite Paul McKibbin’s medical state being extremely poor as shown in his medical records. The extreme nature of Paul McKibbin’s medical state was supported by masses of medical evidence and supporting statements by Paul Sharpless in the courtroom.

Lie / deception 52
Justice Brereton does not mention Paul McKibbin owed Paul Sharpless in excess of $100,000 for work as manager of sign a rama Petersham and that Paul McKibbin said this money owed was to be repaid by having their names on the Newington property. Paul McKibbin reneged on this.

Lie / deception 53
The property at Newington is a freestanding three-bedroom house. It is not a townhouse as justice Brereton states.

Lie / deception 54
Justice Brereton does not state why it has been necessary for Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin to move into separate bedrooms. The reasons were stated in the courtroom to justice Brereton. Instead justice Brereton conveys the picture Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin had separated and lived separate lives. This conveys lies and deception and is completely the wrong picture.

Lie / deception 55 Page 8 paragraph 21
Justice Brereton again lies and deceives in favour of Paul McKibbin in this paragraph and does not detail the many things Paul Sharpless had to do for Paul McKibbin. During this period Paul McKibbin was seriously ill in hospital or completely drunk at home.

Paul Sharpless visited Paul McKibbin whenever necessary in-hospital and looked after him completely,
attended medicals with Paul McKibbin or insured to the best ability Paul McKibbin attended,
ensured Paul McKibbin received all his entitlements from defence and Veterans Affairs,
attended to all legals for Paul McKibbin,
prepared Paul McKibbin’s tax returns for eight years,
sold the business,
carried out lists of orders from Paul McKibbin

Lie / deception 56
Justice Brereton does not elaborate as to why the Mazda 323 was put in Paul Sharpless his name. Paul McKibbin showed no regard for anybody else except himself. He often drove while drunk. For this reason Paul Sharpless put his name as the owner on the car. Justice Brereton was reminded of another military intelligence analyst who drove whilst drunk and was responsible for killing a young family in Sydney on the northern beaches. The case is important because the military intelligence analyst then lied completely during the court proceedings saying he suffered from all manner of medical ailment diminishing his ability and responsibility whilst driving. Paul McKibbin worked with the person concerned.

Lie / deception 57 Page 8 paragraph 22
Justice Brereton lies and deceives in this paragraph when he portrays Paul McKibbin financially struggling in this paragraph. The paragraph does not give an accurate picture of Paul McKibbin’s actual financial affairs and money being received. Whilst receiving a veterans affairs disability pension of $281.50 per fortnight Paul McKibbin was also receiving a non-taxable superannuation payout of in excess of $65,000 per year.

Lie / deception 58
Whilst justice Brereton states Paul McKibbin’s veterans affairs disability pension was upgraded to special (TPI) rate only later does the judge give small reference to it and justice Brereton does not mention the total value of it.

Lie / deception

59 This backdated amount of money Paul McKibbin received from veteran’s affairs was large, approximately $60,000 and stated in the courtroom. Paul McKibbin receives in excess of $55,000 tax-free from Veterans Affairs and in excess of $65,000 tax-free from his superannuation pension fund. He also receives free medical for life, free public transport and other benefits.

Going on the amounts stated in the courtroom Paul McKibbin now receives substantially more money from these two sources then he said he received as a Navy commander working for Australian intelligence projects and the security list already mentioned. It then appears Paul McKibbin receives a lot more from not working then the amount of money he disclosed to the court for being an Australian intelligence analyst. Justice Brereton in his judgment has portrayed Paul McKibbin as being badly done by. To the average person in the street this does not look to be the case.

Lie / deception 60 Page 8 paragraph 23
This statement by justice Brereton is a complete and utter lie and an accurate account of what happened was actually provided to the court before justice Brereton. On 4 December 2003 Paul McKibbin wrote a document to Paul Sharpless stating he had revoked the power of attorney. Paul Sharpless was questioned about this document in the courtroom. He told justice Brereton he often found Paul McKibbin to be a complete liar. Paul McKibbin would often do things to make Paul Sharpless’ life more difficult, and on many occasions threatened him and attempted to take his life.

Paul Sharpless told justice Brereton he could not consider the document to be a true document. Paul McKibbin wrote he had instructed his bank the NAB, he had revoked the power of attorney for Paul Sharpless. Paul Sharpless told justice Brereton he had inquired from the bank and this was not true. On further observation Paul Sharpless also found the signature of Paul McKibbin and signature of a witness to be very similar. Paul Sharpless also told justice Brereton Paul McKibbin always signed his signature slightly different on each occasion. This is what he had been trained to do when he commenced work with a Australian intelligence.

Page 9 containing the rest of paragraph 23, paragraph 24, paragraph 25 and paragraph 26 is missing from the copy I received from the Supreme Court and as such I cannot respond to these paragraphs.

Lie / deception 61 Page 10 paragraph 27
Justice Brereton goes to great lengths again to lie and deceive in this paragraph to attack Paul Sharpless’s credibility. Justice Brereton displays incredible bias and favouritism to Paul McKibbin. Indeed justice Brereton goes so far as to state he has, “serious difficulties in placing reliance on the evidence of Mr. Sharpless.”

Lie / deception  62
I, Paul Sharpless did believe I had $50,000 when I commenced the relationship with Paul McKibbin. I later found this to be false and retracted the statement. Paul McKibbin’s barrister and justice Brereton continues to bring this issue up. Justice Brereton stated, “he did so in an elaborate manner. it is not easy to pass this assertion on, as he sought to do, as a mere mistake, how he could have so mistaken was never satisfactorily explained.”

When I first received this document I found it to be so vile it made me feel physically sick. I was only able to get up to page 3 and found the contents of the judge’s decision so erroneous and to be an attack on myself. I found this to be a personal attack. For the eight days of court hearings and in the lead up to the court case I had prepared myself aware of the serious nature of the information I would be providing.

I found justice Brereton’s personal attack on me to be so sickening, erroneous beyond belief, and a hideous attack by a judge on the New South Wales Supreme Court. I thought my life was over the day justice Brereton handed down his judgment in the seldom used former court chamber he delivered it in.

Lie / deception 63
Justice Brereton told me on the day in his judgment he contemplated charging me with criminal offences but then stated given his judgment he did note he had taken these things into account.

I see justice Brereton’s actions as completely criminal in his attempt to destroy me. In doing so justice Brereton is assisting members of the ADF including principally my former partner Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 64
Justice Brereton makes reference to my assertion that Mr. McKibbin had been admitted to St. John of God hospital. I, Paul Sharpless referred to the wrong psychiatric hospital, although it was another psychiatric hospital in the Burwood area. Although discussed in the courtroom by Paul Sharpless, justice Brereton does not mention what actually happened. Paul McKibbin for a time became more violent and more threatening to Paul Sharpless then usual. The south west area nursing service with the consent form signed by Paul McKibbin’s local GP at Newington were able to admit Paul McKibbin to a psychiatric hospital in the Burwood area near the St. John of God hospital. The Vietnam veterans counselling service assisted Paul Sharpless during this time and is aware of Paul McKibbin being committed to the psychiatric hospital.

Despite medical evidence justice Brereton does not make mention of Paul McKibbin being committed to a psychiatric hospital. Justice Brereton additionally does not make mention Paul McKibbin was released several days later because he was too difficult to look after. The manager of the psychiatric hospital told Paul Sharpless he was too bad an influence on both staff and the other psychiatric patients. He had been a particularly bad influence on a psychiatric patient who was in there for murder. In the circumstances Paul McKibbin was released from the psychiatric hospital to the care of Paul Sharpless. Justice Brereton was also informed in the courtroom Paul McKibbin was violent and threatening when Paul Sharpless went to pick him up from the hospital. In the circumstances Paul Sharpless left the hospital without Paul McKibbin and the psychiatric hospital and then gave Paul McKibbin money for a train fare home. Justice Brereton was surprised by this in the courtroom and questioned if the psychiatric hospital had actually given Paul McKibbin money for the train fare home. Paul Sharpless responded again yes.

Lie / deception 65
Justice Brereton also asserts he cannot believe Paul Sharpless concerning statements Paul McKibbin made in regards to East Timor. Justice Brereton would know the statements by Paul Sharpless to be true, particularly as he is a military reservist. Additionally the same statements were reported in the paper, possibly after the case. Justice Brereton has once again attempted to corruptly cover up the actions of the ADF and intelligence / security.

Lie / deception 66 Page 10 paragraph 28
Is evidence revealed significant elements of fantasy, bordering on paranoia, in respect of Mr. McKibbin’s employment in the ADF.

Reply This paragraph contains knowingly blatant lies by justice Brereton. Paul McKibbin himself, in mediation prior to the court case made three demands to the mediator. One request was that I Paul Sharpless never talk about Paul McKibbin’s work with Australian security and intelligence again as he intends to return working with security.

Paul McKibbin has since returned to work with Australian intelligence and security. This is despite him receiving his superannuation from the ADF and his TPI ( Totally permanently incapacitated ) pension from veterans affairs.

Justice Brereton stated prior to commencing hearing the case he was an Army reservist. Both Paul McKibbin and justice Brereton worked for the same employer, that being the ADF. I, Paul Sharpless outlined and in some cases detailed Paul McKibbin’s work in Australian security and intelligence.

Lie / deception 67
Paul Sharpless gave information in court as to when Paul McKibbin was recruited into Australian intelligence, in what year, and by whom. Paul Sharpless then gave information on the security clearances Paul McKibbin had. Paul Sharpless also outlined the differences between the security clearances and the nature of the work Paul McKibbin did in Australian security.

This included the nature of the intelligence work he did on the Collins class submarine combat systems and what happened concerning intelligence during the project. Paul Sharpless also gave information on geospatial intelligence and its connection with overseas intelligence, particularly the US.

Paul Sharpless also mentioned Paul McKibbin as the deputy director of the Jorn intelligence component and the difficulties with the Jorn project in relation to Australia. More particularly, that the project cannot and doesn’t work yet the Australian taxpayer has spent in excess of $2 billion and according to Paul McKibbin the actual figure is in excess of $4 billion.

Paul Sharpless also mentioned other things concerning Australian intelligence, particularly in regards to East Timor. Paul Sharpless expressed concern at the number of Australian intelligence operatives lost each year. These people simply disappearing into the either never to be spoken of again. These same people sent on missions with no hope of return. As mentioned in the court room I have spoken to the sister of one such disappearing intelligence operative.

Paul Sharpless made mention that while the FBI has a wall to commemorate the operatives it loses in-service no such Australian wall exists. Paul Sharpless also stated to the court he had made a submission to the Senate committee investigating the actions of Australian security and intelligence agencies and had made a submission to the house of representatives. These submissions appear in Google when you Google the name Paul Sharpless.

Paul Sharpless stated the houses he occupied with Paul McKibbin were always full of intelligence and security classified documents, Cds, tapes and two defence lap tops. Neither of the two defence lap tops were ever returned to defence or Australian intelligence services. Paul Sharpless stated Paul McKibbin left all of these documents lying around the house. Paul Sharpless stated Paul McKibbin would at times be completely drunk whilst working on classified intelligence documents. Paul Sharpless advised the court he had advised Paul McKibbin never to write anything serious after 8:30 PM at night nor send it via e-mail after to 8:30 PM as there were often many errors and the documents never made sense.

Paul Sharpless also stated to the court and justice Brereton he had on occasion spell and grammar checked the security and intelligence documents as requested by Paul McKibbin. As Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin worked together for over 12 years we discussed many things, if not most things concerning many aspects of Australian and international intelligence.

Paul McKibbin worked for most of his military life in tri-service military areas. This comprises the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and intelligence and security. Although this is five services the military refers to it as three.

Lie / deception 68
Justice Brereton says there is ,”absolutely no objective evidence to support”, the claims by Paul Sharpless that Paul McKibbin was the member of Australian security and intelligence.

Reply Justice Brereton has unashamedly lied to cover up the work and criminal activities of Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton has been intentionally deceitful and manipulative to aid the defendant Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 69
justice Brereton has lied and being completely deceptive to assist the ADF and various Australian intelligence agencies. By assisting these people and covering up criminal and other acts against Paul Sharpless justice Brereton has conspired pervert the course of justice.

It should be stated Paul McKibbin works covertly in several highly sensitive Australian / international security areas. I testified to this in court without elaborating fully on the great sensitivity involved.

Lie / deception 70
As stated in court before justice Brereton, Paul Sharpless was told by then Sec. of the Navy Stuart Dietrich, Paul Sharpless did not exist and has no rights.

As stated in court Paul Sharpless was alarmed at this particularly as to two years prior the ADF had wanted Paul Sharpless dead and was going to provide the means to do it.

Paul Sharpless had to deal with the Stuart Dietrich on many occasions regarding Paul McKibbin‘s entitlements. These were always most difficult times. Paul Sharpless had discovered Stewart Dietrich was captain of HMAS Westralia whilst the ship had a fire on board in the engine room. Paul McKibbin had told Paul Sharpless four people died because of Stewart Dietrich’s complete incompetence and failure to act appropriately to close off the fire in the engine room as soon as it occurred. The ADF board of inquiry found faulty equipment responsible for the fire and Stewart Dietrich was subsequently promoted to Sec of the Navy.

Paul McKibbin told Paul Sharpless the ADF often promotes and protects the stupidity of its senior officers. This includes protecting their criminal actions. I Paul Sharpless can only think this has occurred once more with Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 71 page 10 paragraph 28
He asserted that it was military intelligence who prevented the legal recourse being taken in respect of an alleged attempt by one Mr. Wood to extort funds from Rushmore, and forced the withdrawal of a case against Vodafone, this was me at fantastic supposition, exposed as being without any reasonable basis. Mr. Sharpless was given to confabulate, basing wild inferences on the flimsiest foundations.

Reply Justice Brereton has lied and deceived completely and most seriously perverted the course of justice in regards to his assertion Nicholas Wood did not attempt to kill Paul Sharpless. I find justice Brereton’s actions to be extremely evil.

This was perhaps one of the main reasons justice Brereton was assigned this case, to protect the actions of the ADF and Australian military intelligence agencies. As I stated in court, the attempt by Nicholas Wood to kill me and the cover-up of this by the ADF and many others was perhaps the blackest time in my life. I became severely depressed and as such have been on antidepressants ever since. Whilst Veterans Affairs acknowledge this occurred and have provided me with a clinical psychologist for the rest of my life if needed, many others have denied the events ever took place. This includes the New South Wales police.

The events of what happened were discussed in the court before justice Brereton. The extortion demand by Nicholas Wood first took place on Australia Day 1999.Nicholas Wood’s actions cost Paul McKibbin approximately $150,000.

If these events have become deeply ingrained in my brain, and without doubt affect me still greatly today.

In the courtroom Paul McKibbin’s barrister even made the assertion I was behind the extortion to Paul McKibbin. This and most other statements Paul McKibbin’s barrister made were completely without substance. It is these same statements justice Brereton made his judgment on continually showing bias in favour Paul McKibbin and his barrister, justice Brereton completely lying and deceiving.

Paul McKibbin was working at military headquarters in Potts Point at the time of the extortion. Paul Sharpless contacted the police and the police advised Paul Sharpless to pay the first extortion demand. This was done through a third intermediary and with the knowledge of a solicitor Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin lived next to in Annandale.

Paul McKibbin told Paul Sharpless he was too busy working at military headquarters and Paul Sharpless was to take care of the extortion demands.. Paul McKibbin turned off his mobile phone making him unreachable. During the days that followed Nicholas Wood assaulted, stalked, and attempted to take Paul Sharpless’s life. One evening, Paul McKibbin advised Paul Sharpless because of the political complexity he was working on at the time it may be necessary for them to take their own lives.

It should be remembered until then Paul Sharpless had been subjected to multiple death threats each year and these had been difficult enough to deal with without the added pressure of extortionists. Paul Sharpless agreed to take his own life and was told the means to do it would be provided by members of the ADF.

I, Paul Sharpless have never got over the facts that members of the ADF and Australian intelligence wanted me dead and were going to provide the means to do it. Added to this the New South Wales police provided me with no assistance and in time covered the whole matter up. I was later to receive letters from the area commander stating I had imagined the entire thing. At the same time I had contacted the New South Wales Arty. Gen.’s office and was told they would do nothing to assist me. The, NSW ombudsman’s office told me the same thing. It seems the entire event had been covered up. It also seemed I had no legal recourse and no rights. I was able to get an AVO taken out against Nicolas Wood by the Kings Cross police.

Paul McKibbin took no legal action in any of this despite it costing him approximately $150,000. Instead all the events of the extortion and fraud by Nicholas Wood and others were covered up completely.

Nicholas Wood continued to stalk and harass me. This was witnessed by some of my staff members working in Sign a rama Petersham. Other people were also aware I had been attacked and the difficult times I was going through. I did not think I would live much longer after that.

As I, Paul Sharpless stated in court on one occasion I went to the Downing Centre court building due to a Vodafone contract Nicholas Wood had fraudulently taken out using Paul McKibbin’s signature. Prior to going to the Downing Centre court building Nicholas Wood told me if I attempted to go to the court building he would kill me. Although I told the police they did nothing to assist me. On the advice of a person in the New South Wales Attorney Gen.’s office I wrote a letter to the magistrates in the Downing Centre court building.

Justice Brereton showed alarm and became angry when I told him I had written a letter to the Downing centre magistrates. He repeatedly asked me which court was it in and I could not answer. Finally I told him I am not a lawyer and I do not know which court system it was in. He had become angry and raised his voice at me.

As I was in complete fear Paul McKibbin went with me to the Downing centre. Before the court hearing in the Downing centre we were approached by a prosecutor from the New South Wales DPP. I currently forget the prosecutor’s name, but his name was mentioned in court. The man ushered us into an office where he discussed the events with Paul McKibbin and myself.

I went through the events of the extortion and my subsequent assault and the attempts on my life. I then stated the New South Wales police had advised us to pay the first extortion demand. Although it was a small amount it was still an extortion demand. Soon after this another extortion demand for $10,000 was made. Another amount was subsequently demanded for $1 million. I stood my ground on the subsequent extortion demands and was subsequently nearly killed. The prosecutor from the DPP became extremely angry when I said the police had advised us to pay the first extortion demand. The prosecutor then told me he would make my life hell if I mentioned this again.

I have received many threats in the past. This was another one. Nicholas Wood had just tried to kill me and threatened should I enter the court building he would kill me. The threats from the DPP prosecutor of making my life even worse seemed ridiculous.

In my mind there were now more people who wanted me dead. I thought about being able to take my own life rather than having it taken by others. I much preferred to be able to take my own life with a minimum of pain and quickly rather than being subjected to torture during death by others.
I became aware I had been made persona non grata and as such the outlook on my life changed forever. This includes justice Brereton who as I said earlier has conspired with others to knowingly make false statements. Justice Brereton like others have attempted to silence me and ruin me financially. .

Justice Brereton in his speech on becoming a justice to New South Wales Supreme Court stated there was no such thing as a conspiracy. Justice Brereton then elaborated and said further investigation would produce the actual facts. Hopefully the facts will emerge this time and action taken. I have detailed much during my court case which lasted eight days.

Lie / deception 72 page 11 paragraph 30
Justice Brereton does not elaborate on what he means by this judgment. Justice Brereton’s statement revolves around the fact Paul Sharpless was required to sign Centreline forms stating he was prepared to work anywhere, whilst being in a relationship with Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton states Paul Sharpless knowingly falsely signed the forms. It is a further maligning of Paul Sharpless.

Lie / deception 73 Page 11 paragraph 31
Justice Brereton deceives further in this paragraph. Justice Brereton makes note of Paul McKibbin’s nondisclosure of finances. Paul McKibbin’s true financial state was not disclosed to the court.

Justice Brereton only makes note of it amounts for Paul McKibbin’s income and not the gross amounts.

Lie / deception 74 Page 12 paragraph 32
Justice Brereton makes reference, “Mr. McKibbin firmly believes that Mr. Sharpless has betrayed his trust, and on the few occasions that he was prepared to concede that Mr. Sharpless had done anything for him, added an observation that no less should be expected of a friend holding power of attorney, while questioned whether the motive was not to advance his own financial interest.”

Reply justice Brereton deceives here.
Sharpless stated in the courtroom, soon after being locked out of the house Paul McKibbin commenced sending a large number of e- mails to Paul Sharpless’s then employer. Finally the employer, got tired of receiving them and gave Paul Sharpless a redundancy package before asking him to leave. The e- mails numbered 6 to 10 each day.

In another e-mail Paul McKibbin stated to Paul Sharpless he would ruin him completely and bankrupt him if he proceeded with a court case. Paul McKibbin stated he would lie continuously and makeup information. Paul McKibbin also stated he would destroy Paul Sharpless’s parents financially if they assisted him.

Paul Sharpless’ parents and his sister and brother-in-law did assist him financially to live and to meet mounting debts. Paul Sharpless’ parents are not at all wealthy and are on the pension. Both his parents has been affected by Paul McKibbin’s actions emotionally and financially.

My parents visited Sydney to support me emotionally during the court hearing. They do not live in Sydney. I additionally felt it better if they did not attend the court hearing as they had been subjected to enough and are in their late 70s. I additionally did not ask them to make statements and appear in court as I did not again want them subjected to a most difficult time. Instead I asked my sister to make a statement and appear. This she did.

Paul Sharpless’s mother, who is in her late 70s was offered counselling by the minister for defence science and personnel. His mother refused the offer stating, “they’re the ones with the problems why should I be counselled.”

The minister for defence science and personnel, Warren Snowden additionally contacted mental health. The people at mental health said Paul Sharpless was completely delusional. The doctor then said I could be subjected to a lot more making my life hell or take the tablets they were giving me. The tablets were Risperdal and I was given them without a prescription. They were supplied freely to me. I refused to take them and still have both packets.

Unfortunately I am not delusional but had endured over a 19 year period an accumulation of facts most horrid, most evil, and corruptly illegal by, members of the ADF and Australian intelligence who see themselves as more than public servants, members of the judiciary, politicians, public servants and finally corrupt members of the public involved in organized crime. In my experiences I have seen more illegal actions by members of the ADF, government and the judiciary then I have by corrupt members of the public. Members of the government and the judiciary by their illegal actions and perverting the course of justice have greatly aided members of the public involved in crime.

My appearance in the New South Wales Supreme Court gave me the opportunity to state what my former partner Paul McKibbin had subjected me to. His continual illegal actions had the full cooperation of many of the members of the government and some in the judiciary.

Unfortunately my appearance in the New South Wales Supreme Court only showed corruption and ability to pervert the course of justice reached into the New South Wales Supreme Court. It is visible the ADF and Australian intelligence / security agencies are able to influence the New South Wales Supreme Court justices.

Lie / deception 75 Page 12 paragraph 33
Justice Brereton continues to deceive in this paragraph.Justice Brereton states he does not find the evidence of the minor witnesses of much assistance. This is not true. Mike Purdy was aware of the extortion demands made to Paul McKibbin and the subsequent horrific ordeal Paul Sharpless was subjected to. Mike Purdy was aware Paul Sharpless was subjected to attempts on his life, though justice Brereton has stated this never occurred.

I have now remembered an e-mail Paul McKibbin sent to me advising me to advise Mike Purdy of particular ( unspecified ) things and that Paul McKibbin would destroy Mike Purdy if he made a statement in court. My solicitor, Tom Reeve, asked if I knew what the e-mail meant.

I have now remembered a particular time when Paul McKibbin was ill and demanded that the ADF do particular things to assist him otherwise he would destroy particular members of the ADF. Paul McKibbin’s requests were subsequently delivered by the ADF. As a member of Australian intelligence agencies with access to classified information Paul McKibbin was able to build up a ‘dirt file’ on senior members of the ADF. With this information Paul McKibbin was able to make demands and when needed pervert the course of justice.

Lie / deception 76 Page 12 paragraph 34
In this paragraph justice Brereton states, “in my view, Mr. Sharpless’ evidence exaggerated many aspects of his case, and in particular his contributions to Mr. McKibbin’s welfare.”

Reply In short I, Paul Sharpless did not exaggerate any aspects of my case. I particularly did not exaggerate the contributions I made to Paul McKibbin’s welfare. Paul McKibbin, as his entire medical files indicate was extremely ill. He was clinically severely depressed, an alcoholic with pancreatitis, prone to periods of excessive anger and violence. Justice Brereton denies the severity of Paul McKibbin’s illnesses and asserts Paul McKibbin’s work was not affected by his many medical conditions. This is ridiculous and was not true and Paul McKibbin required constant often 24 hour care. Justice Brereton denies this. Many people were aware of Paul McKibbin’s many illnesses and equally many people saw him to be constantly drunk, whether this be at home or in the workplace.

For many weeks Paul McKibbin had a broken hip constraining him to a wheelchair. Paul McKibbin also had numerous alcoholic seizures and the recovery from each of these was prolonged. Paul Sharpless also stated he had to carefully detox Paul McKibbin numerous times. This was all explained in the courtroom.

The ADF has a culture of denying the medical illnesses of its servicemen and women. The ADF and Australian intelligence does not recognize the illnesses of many of its service men and women. The ADF and intelligence agencies do not need to worry about the health of its service people as this in general is looked after by veterans affairs. The ADF has a long history of not recognizing the various illnesses of its servicemen and women. As a member of the ADF, even in a reservist capability justice Brereton shows the same non-recognition of the actual health state of personnel. Justice Brereton either doesn’t recognize the seriousness of Paul McKibbin’s illnesses despite Paul McKibbin’s large medical files or is under instructions from his ADF employer not to recognize the seriousness of Paul McKibbin’s many illnesses.

Lie / deception 77 Page 13 paragraph 35
In the paragraphs prior to this paragraph justice Brereton established his lies, deceptions and biases and prejudices against Paul Sharpless. Justice Brereton additionally speaks well of Paul McKibbin with the exception of two paragraphs.

In these paragraphs justice Brereton has not stated he is an Army reservist and works for the same employer as Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton has not stated the obvious conflict of interest in having an employee of the ADF give judgment in the New South Wales Supreme Court on a much most senior employee of the ADF who also works for Australian intelligence and security.

In the paragraphs so far justice Brereton has stated despite the evidence provided to the courtroom by Paul Sharpless, justice Brereton still states there is no information to state Paul McKibbin has worked for Australian intelligence and security. Indeed, justice Brereton referred to Paul Sharpless as delusional.

As Paul McKibbin’s partner, Paul Sharpless gave evidence under oath of the continual ordeal he was subjected to by members of the ADF and Australian intelligence and security. Paul Sharpless gave evidence under oath of being subjected to continual fear and affray by the same members of the ADF and Australian intelligence and security. Paul Sharpless gave evidence under oath for a period of time he was stalked, assaulted and nearly killed whilst Paul McKibbin was being subjected to extortion. Paul McKibbin took no legal action in respect of any of this, despite it costing him in excess of $150,000.

Paul Sharpless gave evidence under oath during the period of the extortion, given the complex nature of Paul McKibbin’s work at military headquarters including Australian theatre, also know as the war room, he was told by the ADF and Australian intelligence and security Paul Sharpless would have to take his own life.

Paul Sharpless gave evidence under oath that on the many occasions he contacted the New South Wales police, his local member at the time Sandra Norrie, that New South Wales Attorney Gen.’s Department, the New South Wales police Commissioner, the New South Wales legal services Commissioner, the New South Wales Law Society, other federal and state politicians, the federal attorney general’s office, the minister for defence, government officials working for the Australian defence department, members of the judiciary and many others. All but three assisted Paul Sharpless.

The three exceptions are listed now.
The Kings Cross police who issued an AVO against the extortionist Nicholas Wood.
Ms. Joe Bastian, then working in General Cosgroves office, who told me there were a small group of people in the ADF wanted me dead.
Thirdly, a gentleman in the federal ombudsman’s office made it apparent to me the main person responsible for my many years of receiving death threats, being subjected to continual fear, and destroying me with the assistance of others was Paul McKibbin. All of this was stated under oath by Paul Sharpless in the courtroom. Paul McKibbin and a few of his friends and associates working in the ADF and Australian intelligence and security had conspired to illegally exert power and silence members of the New South Wales police and many other government officials.

As described in the courtroom Paul McKibbin’s first partner committed suicide. Like Paul McKibbin the guy was a warfare officer in the RAN Navy. Paul Sharpless stated under oath in the courtroom the exact reasons Paul McKibbin’s first partner committed suicide were never released by the ADF, nor was an autopsy carried out.

Lie / deception 78 Page 16 paragraph 42
Justice Brereton once again lies and deceives and takes the side of his fellow ADF workmate. Despite Paul Sharpless giving evidence under oath that Paul McKibbin moved into his one bedroom apartment in Glebe justice Brereton takes the dishonest view cohabitation actually started in Canberra. This is despite Paul McKibbin listing Paul Sharpless as his partner to HMAS Brisbane. In light of this evidence justice Brereton shows either incompetence or justice Brereton has another agenda in making his judgment. It appears to me justice Brereton clearly had a set agenda when he was appointed to the case.

The average person in the street would make the same conclusion. Indeed having discussed it with many other members of the public that is the very view they have taken without prompting and without hesitation.

ADF and particularly Australian intelligence and security have been unable to be financially accountable for many years. They have additionally been not accountable concerning treatment of their personnel and the assets they hold.

I have given evidence to the court on the non-accountability of the ADF and Australian intelligence and security. As the partner of Paul McKibbin for 12 years and having been part of conversations concerning the financial non-accountability of these government departments I am aware of illegal activity and the nondisclosure and inappropriate use of government funds. This was particularly the case as Paul McKibbin in addition to his other tri-service and intelligence security roles worked for the material section of a ADF. The materials section of the ADF and Australian intelligence hot responsible for financial allocations and expenditure.

Paul McKibbin oversaw government expenditure on the Jorn project ( defence shield ) of in excess of $2 billion Australian. The actual non- disclosed figure spent on the Australian component of the defence shield was closer to $4 billion Australian. This is government expenditure not accounted for.

Paul McKibbin was also appointed and made responsible for the materials section for projects under $20 million Australian. In light of these positions held by Paul McKibbin and the discussions we had and the problems McKibbin talked about I could only conceive ADF expenditure was rife with corruption and problems.

It therefore, was not unusual for ADF and Australian intelligence and security to conspire to pervert the course of justice in an attempt to cover up the illegal activity.

Questions remain, as to why I, Paul Sharpless am still alive and have not been covertly killed.. Members of the ADF, Australian intelligence and security including Ms. Joe Bastian best know the answer for that. Ms. Joe Bastian on being told the answer said I was threatening her and immediately reported me to Australian security so that they were aware as well.

Justice Brereton knowingly lies when he states Paul McKibbin did not work for Australian intelligence and security. As I, Paul Sharpless stated in the court room ADF personnel moved to live immediately opposite our residences in Isaacs, Annandale and Newington. On all three occasions ADF personnel were able to look directly into our living room and observe the goings and comings of each of our residences. I became friendly with our immediate ADF neighbours on each occasion. To my knowledge members of the ADF still live immediately opposite Paul McKibbin in Newington and able to closely monitor his house.

It should also be stated as telephone lines were able to be interrupted during existing conversations at any time by members of the ADF and Australian intelligence wanting to speak to Paul McKibbin. On some occasions I took these calls as I was on the phone having a conversation to someone else at the time.

Lie / deception 79 Page 17 paragraph 44
Justice Brereton states his judgment does not take into account the evidence provided by each of the other witnesses. So far in his judgment justice Brereton has accepted the information provided by Mike Purdy when he found it acceptable to do so, perhaps as Mike Purdy is also a member of the ADF. In paragraph 44 justice Brereton also accepts the information of former ADF employee Mr. Fry.

Justice Brereton has used the information of ADF and former ADF personnel when it assists his now apparent agenda to corruptly pervert the course of justice in the New South Wales Supreme Court.

Lie / deception 80 Page 18 paragraph 46
Justice Brereton again restates what he has previously restated. I can only presume justice Brereton does this because he presumes if he writes the same thing often enough people will presume it to be true. I am reminded at this point of Bart Simpson repetitively writing on the school blackboard in the show’s opening credits. Unfortunately in the circumstances I have to refute justice Brereton’s statements as often as he makes them.

Lie / deception 81 Page 18 paragraph 47
In this paragraph, having reached the wrong conclusions through lies and deceit, Justice Brereton is able to look financially favourably on his fellow ADF member Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton’s appointment to the case is to conspire to cover up bullying and illegality by other members of the ADF and Australian intelligence and security to Paul Sharpless.

Lie / deception 82 Page 18 paragraph 49
Justice Brereton is again wrong when he states ,”in this case, there was ultimately no significant dispute as to the assets and liabilities of the parties.”

Reply Justice Brereton himself noted that Paul McKibbin had not disclosed where significant funds had been obtained from to pay his barrister and other amounts. Justice Brereton also knowingly lies when he says Paul McKibbin has never done any work for Australian intelligence and security. Paul McKibbin worked for Australian intelligence and security, indeed was deputy director of the intelligence component of the Jorn project ( defence shield ) and was additionally on a security list associated with the Jorn project ( defence shield ). The questions then . security, why weren’t the amounts disclosed and why did Paul McKibbin state as a commander in the RAN Navy he only received $44,000 net per year. This is the amount Paul McKibbin states he received whilst working for tri-service and other significant Australian/international defence projects.

Lie / deception 83
justice Brereton then lies and deceives to assist Paul McKibbin to avoid tax. And this is another instance of converting the course of justice by justice Brereton.

Paul McKibbin bought Telstra shares and other assets but these were not disclosed to the court.

Lie / deception 84 Page 20 paragraph 50
Justice Brereton is again wrong when he states ,”the parties have already divided the furniture between themselves.”

Reply Paul McKibbin locked Paul Sharpless out of the house. Paul McKibbin only allowed Paul Sharpless to take a small amount of his possessions.

Paul McKibbin as stated previously e-mailed Paul Sharpless saying he would destroy him completely, making him bankrupt and destitute. Paul McKibbin advised Paul Sharpless he had to go through legal action with his lawyer to get even his clothing back. Paul McKibbin continued to go to great lengths to destroy Paul Sharpless.
Lie / deception 85 Page 20 paragraph 52
Justice Brereton goes to some length to explain Paul McKibbin’s superannuation. In earlier paragraphs justice Brereton stated Paul Sharpless was unemployed. Despite information to the contrary justice Brereton stated Paul Sharpless was unemployed during the entire time Paul Sharpless managed Sign a rama Petersham for Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton appears to have conspired with the ADF and Paul McKibbin so as to avoid back wage entitlements, holiday and other entitlements, and superannuation being paid to Paul Sharpless. The justice Brereton in this paragraph does not mention superannuation pertaining to Paul Sharpless.

Lie / deception 86 page 19 paragraph 49
Justice Brereton states,”in this case, then it was ultimately no significant dispute as to the assets.”

Reply this is not true.

Lie / deception 87 page 19 paragraph 49
Justice Brereton states, “the assets and liabilities of the parties, which were agreed were admitted to be set out in the following tables.”

Reply justice Brereton again deceives in setting out a table he alleges are the assets of Paul McKibbin.

Lie /space deception 88 Page 21 paragraph 53
Justice Brereton understates the value of the pension Paul McKibbin receives from the department of Veterans Affairs. As gazetted in government documents the pension from Department of Veterans Affairs is estimated to be in excess of $55,000 per year no tax payable. This is because Paul McKibbin receives free medical, free travel, cleaning and additional home services.

Justice Brereton judges Paul Sharpless to have exaggerated Paul McKibbin’s medical problems. I, Paul Sharpless did not exaggerate Paul McKibbin’s medical problems and discussed these under oath.

In 2002, as his medical records show, Paul McKibbin sustained hospitalizations for alcoholic seizures, was detoxed regularly for alcohol, broke his hip requiring him to be confined to a wheelchair, required surgery on two occasions with the hip, required physiotherapy after hospitalization, contracted a staph infection and was hospitalized for 6 to 8 weeks, saw his local doctor and many medical specialists concerning previous medical problems and new ones, and required an ever changing regime of prescribed medications. To all of this justice Brereton says I Paul Sharpless exaggerated.

Justice Brereton goes to great lengths to say repetitively Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin did not sleep in the same bed but had separate bedrooms. Reading his judgment, justice Brereton seems to blame Paul Sharpless for this.

Paul Sharpless explained in the courtroom before justice Brereton, the entire situation was extremely difficult. Paul McKibbin in his medical circumstances did not sleep well at all. Paul McKibbin additionally subjected Paul Sharpless too little and sometimes no sleep. Paul McKibbin did subject Paul Sharpless to sleep deprivation. Paul McKibbin had been questioned about this by some of his doctors including Paul Haber at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Dr. Paul Haber was in charge of the drug and alcohol department at RPI. I am informed he has since become the administrator of Concorde hospital. When asked, Paul McKibbin replied it was Paul Sharpless’s job to look after him day and night.

Lie / deception 89 Page 21 paragraph 54
Justice Brereton states, “ Mr. Sharpless has a personal loan with the National Australia Bank of $45,000. The evidence does not explain the origin of this loan, but it appears to be related to post separation expenditure of Mr. Sharpless and to be unrelated to the relationship. There is no suggestion that it was incurred for legal expenses. It should not be brought to account in the divisible pool.

Reply Justice Brereton is again completely incorrect and lies in this paragraph as well. Paul Sharpless explained in the courtroom when he was thrown out of the house by Paul McKibbin he had credit card and other debt. Paul Sharpless was able to consolidate this into a personal loan with the National Australia Bank. It was not related to post-separation expenditure as justice Brereton states. A large part of the loan consisted of the amount of money owed to Trendwest. . This had been in Paul McKibbin and Paul Sharpless names but Paul Sharpless was paying for it monthly. Justice Brereton is aware of all of this but once again lies.

At this point I am not sure if Army reservist / justice Brereton has lied more than RAN commander Paul McKibbin or vice versa. In any event justice Brereton has conspired to lie and protect the illegality and continual lies of Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 90 Page 21 paragraph 55
Justice Brereton’s account as stated in the courtroom is not true in this paragraph. Paul McKibbin had emailed to Paul Sharpless stating he would completely lie and destroy him. Paul McKibbin emailed Paul Sharpless’ initial employer stating Paul Sharpless had stolen $300,000 from him. This was a complete lie on Paul McKibbin’s part and they lie justice Brereton then stated as truth.

Paul McKibbin’s barrister stated Paul Sharpless had stolen $300,000 from Paul McKibbin. Paul McKibbin’s barrister then stated the amount was in excess of 350,000. Paul McKibbin’s barrister then stated the amount was in excess of $400,000. Paul McKibbin’s barrister then stated the amount was in excess of $600,000. In later days Paul McKibbin’s barrister then stated the amount was in excess of $650,000. Paul McKibbin’s barrister then stated the amount was $700,000.

Justice Brereton allowed Paul McKibbin’s barrister to make all of the statements without any actual material being provided. The accusations by Paul McKibbin’s barrister were without any basis and the amount stolen kept increasing each day.

I Paul Sharpless took this as a personal attack justice Brereton allowed Paul McKibbin and his barrister to get away with. The continual ever increasing accusations without any substance to back them up have been a complete affront and a complete injustice. I Paul Sharpless again state now I have not stolen from Paul McKibbin. It is quite the opposite as Paul McKibbin has repetitively stolen from me, threatened me in the guise of others making the death threats and made it impossible for me to receive my due entitlements for managing his business.

It was stated in the courtroom before justice Brereton and I shall mention it again now. Paul McKibbin and others in ADF and Australian security and intelligence repetitively told me my former solicitor Brian Roberts sought to kill me. During our entire relationship until late 2004 Paul McKibbin told me he would protect me from all the death threats. With the assistance of others in Australian security and intelligence Paul McKibbin also informed me of an escape plan that would provide me with a new identity. Given that the same people including Paul McKibbin asked that I kill myself during the extortion attempt, acceptance of their escape plan would most possibly have lead to my death and disappearance.

Lie / deception 91 Page 21 paragraph 56
Paul McKibbin had handed me his power of attorney and then expected me to do absolutely everything. Paul McKibbin took no responsibility or anything. As stated earlier I then:

Managed his company and business,
Sold his property at Isaacs,
Purchased the Newington property,,
Organized the legals and finance for the Newington property,
Did eight years of his tax returns for Paul McKibbin which have not been done,
Visited Paul McKibbin on the many occasions he was in hospital
I arranged for his medicals, the doctors and hospital would call Paul Sharpless as Paul McKibbin was often unable to answer the telephone as he was drunk,
Arranged for Paul McKibbin to receive his entitlements from the military,
Coordinated the paperwork with the Veterans Affairs,
Met many times with people at the Vietnam veterans Association who were assisting Paul McKibbin with his Veterans Affairs application, it should be noted Heather Graham who was Paul McKibbin’s coordinator at Veterans Affairs has never actually met Paul McKibbin,
Organized the sale of the business and the future employment of employees so that no employee in the company was disadvantaged by the sale. The exception was Paul Sharpless.
Organized the packing and removal of furniture in the Annandale property.
The first removal of furniture in the Annandale property did not occur. As stated the supposed removalists arrived in a truck with no signage, no ropes, no trolley and no equipment for a removal of furniture. As stated in the courtroom it was blatantly clear the people concerned were not removalists. but rather intelligence sweepers checking Paul McKibbin’s house or any security and intelligence documents. I have stated the events in the courtroom before justice Brereton.

Paul McKibbin had yet another alcoholic seizure that morning and was hospitalized at RPA.
When the removal did finally occur over two weeks later I then organized the unpacking and placement of furniture in the Newington property. It was two weeks later and Paul McKibbin had yet another alcoholic seizure this time hospitalizing him in Concorde hospital.

In addition to working full-time in the sign company I also cleaned the new house and organized all necessary home finishes.

I also looked after my two dogs Liz and Fox ensuring the new house at Newington was a safe area for them.
The dogs were kept by Paul McKibbin and I have not been able to see them. This has been extremely painful not to see them but I have spoken to the neighbours who have assured me they seem to be fine. I regarded my two dogs as my children. Indeed they are much more than that. At times they were the only comfort I had in attempting to look after Paul McKibbin full time.

It has been unquestionably the hardest thing not to be able to see them. I have thought about it but it would be more painful for Liz and Fox to see me intermittently. They would not understand. Nor does Paul McKibbin allow me to see them and I find it extremely painful to go anywhere near Newington. This includes visiting my former neighbours who have remained friends.

Each day Paul McKibbin would give me a list of things to do in addition to everything else. This also included when Paul McKibbin was in hospital. On one occasion he faxed a four page list of closely written instructions using a fax machine at the nurses station at RPA hospital. He would then become angry when it was impossible for me to do everything. This was particularly the case on Sunday nights when Paul McKibbin would ensure he had a major argument with me without fail. Sunday nights became the worst night of my week. Often I would get to sleep and have to go to work on Monday morning extremely tired.

Lie / deception 92
When questioned in the courtroom about all of the above Paul McKibbin did not think it unreasonable that I should have to do everything. Paul McKibbin was asked if he thought this was a large imposition and made it impossible for me to additionally have some spare time. He said no.

Paul McKibbin was diagnosed as being bipolar by both military doctors and non-military medical specialists. Paul McKibbin denies this and justice Brereton again favoured Paul McKibbin. As Paul McKibbin is by bipolar he was often prone to irrational activity, violence, and anger. Soon after moving into the Newington property Paul McKibbin said he wanted to move again. Although it didn’t make sense I was used to things not making sense around Paul McKibbin. Whilst in Annandale Paul McKibbin had watched the shopping channel on television most nights and make purchases of what he saw or on the show. All of the stuff he purchased he then didn’t use. In the main he was either drunk, detoxing from alcohol or having alcoholic seizures whilst theoretically working on tri-service projects for the military and working in Australian intelligence and security.

On many occasions whilst in the property in Annandale I was contacted by Paul McKibbin’s superior officer because he was arriving drunk for work, drinking while at work, ongoing to the hotel and drinking while on duty not turning up for work at all. All of this was known to ADF yet ADF reservist justice Brereton stated Paul McKibbin’s work was not affected by his health.

I am reminded at this juncture members of the ADF gossip. On the occasions I have mixed with the ADF they talk about work and the goings on of the other ADF members. It is therefore not beyond reason to think justice Brereton did discuss Paul McKibbin before accepting to hear the case. I know this to be true in military cases and justice Brereton is an employee of the ADF. In some military court cases the judges are not selected at random from a list but are quietly approached and asked if they want to hear the case.

Although justice Brereton was Army, though more likely tri-service, Paul McKibbin was tri-service and intelligence, and as such worked with many senior officers in the ADF.

It was known in the ADF, although a fine officer, Paul McKibbin in the words of others in the ADF, “lost the plot.” By this the ADF members meant he went crazy. It is then with complete bewilderment although acknowledged as having gone crazy Paul McKibbin continues to work for Australian intelligence. Clearly sanity is not a prerequisite whilst working with Australian intelligence and given the type of covert work Paul McKibbin is doing insanity could be deemed an advantage.

Justice Brereton could be fully acquainted with Paul McKibbin’s history and the views of many ADF members. I again can only conclude justice Brereton conspired with members of the ADF to deliver a favourable judgment for Paul McKibbin and more importantly a favourable judgment for the ADF in relation to the many issues Paul Sharpless raised concerning his treatment by ADF members.

I also informed the court Paul McKibbin did not allow me access to Internet banking for personal or company bank accounts. On the other hand Paul McKibbin had full Internet access to his banking.

Lie / deception 93
justice Brereton has continually lied and deceived in stating I took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton does not ask the major questions of actually how much Paul McKibbin receive for his tri-service and intelligence work. Nor does justice Brereton ask how he was paid or where the money has gone or is located either here or over seas.

Lie / deception 94 Page 22 paragraph 57
Justice Brereton makes a false statement, “undoubtedly, a significant portion was for Paul Sharpless’ living expenses.” Justice Brereton states earlier from the information provided he is unable to see where any of the money has gone. In paragraph 57 justice Brereton shows lies and shows bias and favour to fellow ADF employee Paul McKibbin. As stated in the courtroom for a large number of years Paul McKibbin drank a 4 litre cask of white wine each day and every couple of weeks a full bottle of vodka. This was in addition to smoking two packets of Marlboro reds cigarettes each day.

Lie / deception 95
Justice Brereton then falsely concludes and states, “the expenditure of funds for the benefit of Mr. Sharpless during the relationship, and particularly while he was Mr. McKibbin’s attorney, should be taken into account as a benefit received by him from the relationship, offsetting his contributions.”

Reply This paragraph by justice Brereton emphasizes and gives strength to justice Brereton’s agenda to lie, deceive, and conspire to pervert the course of justice and favour Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 95 Page 22 paragraph 58
In this paragraph justice Brereton is further able to qualify why his judgment will ultimately conspire to further favour Paul McKibbin. Unable to evaluate any of the information concerning where the money ultimately went justice Brereton decides, “in evaluating the quantum and quality of the contributions made by Mr. Sharpless to, against the benefits derived by him from, the relationship.”

Reply Justice Brereton in previous paragraphs called Paul Sharpless delusional and said Paul Sharpless greatly exaggerated his contributions to the relationship.

Justice Brereton makes no mention of the many death threats, nor the harshness, brutality, and continual bullying Paul Sharpless endured during the 12 years of the relationship with Paul McKibbin.

Lie / deception 96A Page 23 paragraph 59
Despite information presented to the court concerning Paul Sharpless’ personal loan, justice Brereton disregards it.

Lie / deception 97 Page 24 paragraph 61
Justice Brereton has lied again in paragraph 61 two seemingly suit his own agenda. Justice Brereton states, “as Mr. Sharpless never held any assets of significance his position does not require similar examination.” This is contrary to the information provided in the courtroom by Paul Sharpless who stated he had owned a 50% share in a house in Victoria Ave, Woollahra and later moved after separating from his first partner and buying a two-bedroom apartment in Edgecliff Rd, Woollahra.

Paul Sharpless was also owed in excess of $100,000 for unpaid wages and other entitlements including superannuation for managing Paul McKibbin’s company. A lengthy explanation of Paul Sharpless says other assets are provided in other parts of this document.

The table of assets belonging to Paul McKibbin is far from correct. Paul McKibbin has falsely stated his assets or justice Brereton has produced another entirely fictitious and erroneous document. Paul McKibbin states he sold all of his shares but this is not true. Primarily Paul McKibbin stated he sold all of his shares to receive the full Veterans Affairs TP I pension. This is not true, and he still has Telstra, NRMA, and other shares.

The Australian tax department is currently investigating Paul McKibbin concerning money he and his mother have in tax havens. His offshore funds were not disclosed to the court.

Paul McKibbin states in 2007 he has no cash at bank but is somehow able to obtain $60,000 from unknown sources to pay legal debts, and reduce his mortgage.

Paul McKibbin states his cash on hand in 1992 was $100 and in 1998 and 2007 he had zero cash on hand. Paul McKibbin. In this and other information in the table justice Brereton has seemingly attempted to show McKibbin has been badly done by. The table on pages 24 and 25 is completely erroneous. Paul McKibbin claims he has no other investments in 2007 yet the question still remains how he was able to obtain $60,000 in addition to the $58,000 he received from back payments to his TPI veterans affairs pension. This was while working for Australian Intelligence.

In 2007 Paul McKibbin still claims the car is his despite it not being in his name. Paul McKibbin still claims the shares with Trendwest are his entirely despite it being into names and the monthly payment is paid by Paul Sharpless.

Paul McKibbin claims he has sold his silver, and stamp and coin collection. He has not and his stamp and coin collection is valued at a far greater amount. Paul McKibbin claims he has sold his collections in order to receive the full TP I and veterans affairs pension.

Justice Brereton’s calculations show a completely untrue picture of Paul McKibbin’s financials. Justice Brereton has not questioned at all, and seldom questioned in the courtroom the information provided by Paul McKibbin, however unbelievable it was. As I stated earlier and restate now the justice Brereton was appointed to the case to protect Justice Brereton’s employer, ADF and protect the many illegal actions of Paul McKibbin.

Justice Brereton went to considerable lengths in his judgment to state Paul McKibbin had never and was never employed with Australian intelligence and security. This is despite a large amount of information to the contrary and Paul Mckibbin being a deputy director of an intelligence agency.

Lie / deception 98 Page 25 paragraph 62
Justice Brereton again affirms his agenda of protecting fellow ADF member Paul McKibbin by stating, Paul Sharpless contributed nothing.

Reply Despite evidence and information provided to the court justice Brereton further states that there is no evidence Paul Sharpless contributed to any capital appreciation.

This statement by justice Brereton is completely erroneous and a complete affront personally.. For the entire time Paul McKibbin lived in Newington he was a drunkard, hospitalized, or detoxing either at home in the majority of instances under the supervision of Paul Sharpless or in-hospital.

As I, Paul Sharpless detailed in court all I had done to make Newington into a pleasurable home for Paul McKibbin and myself. Paul McKibbin was still suffering numerous alcoholic seizures. This was in addition to his broken hip, staph infection and many other medical requirements.

As I explained in court my first job each morning was to see if Paul McKibbin was still alive. As I explained in court I would go to his bedroom and see if he was breathing. Unconsciously I held my breath until I saw him take his first breath. His breath was often so shallow sometimes I could not hold my breath long enough. I have done this for such a long time. Keeping Paul McKibbin alive had become my major task, as it had been for years.

Lie / deception 99 Page 26 paragraph 63
Paul Sharpless, holding power of attorney for Paul McKibbin was able to reduce the Newington mortgage to $155,000 initially. Upon separation Paul McKibbin increased the mortgage to $357,000. As was stated in the courtroom Paul McKibbin opted to receive a line of credit up to $250,000 rather than receiving an outright mortgage. Paul McKibbin increased the line of credit after he locked Paul Sharpless out of the house at Newington to a far greater amount and knowingly lied as he did in many other occasions to the New South Wales Supreme Court in doing so.

As a former spin doctor for ADF and Australian intelligence and security Paul McKibbin then created the circumstances where Paul Sharpless was believed to have obtained major benefit at the expense Paul McKibbin. These circumstances aided justice Brereton’s corrupt agenda..

Lie / deception 100 Page 26 paragraph 64
Justice Brereton further lies, deceits, and assists Paul McKibbin by stating this paragraph. In truth Paul McKibbin established financial credentials such that he was fully able to receive the full TP I veterans affairs pension.

Lie / deception 101 Page 26 paragraph 65
Paul McKibbin with the assistance of justice Brereton would have us believe he only received $430,000 net in the years 1995 to 2005. Earlier in justice Brereton’s judgment in the amount was $440,000 net for Paul McKibbin. This is an average of $43,000 net per year. Justice Brereton’s statement in paragraph 65 is completely beyond belief and evil in its deliverance.

As already stated Paul McKibbin was deputy director of the defence shield,. In addition to this he was also a participant in a covert intelligence list pertaining to the defence shield. The Australian government had acknowledged spending in excess of 2 billion Australian dollars whilst the actual figure was four billion Australian dollars. Paul McKibbin would have us believe despite the intensity, secretiveness, and serious covert nature of the intelligence he conducted he only received $43,000 net from his employer, the ADF.

Lie / deception 102 page to a six paragraph 65
Justice Brereton once again states, “Paul Sharpless was primarily unemployed during period 1998 to 2002.” As I stated many times before I managed Paul McKibbin’s company but was unable to receive my full entitlements. Justice Brereton makes this statement and in doing so perverts the course of justice by denying Paul Sharpless his legal entitlements for managing Paul McKibbin’s business, namely sign-a-rama Petersham.

Lie / deception 103
Justice Brereton also states in this paragraph, “Mr. McKibbin continued to make contributions to MSBS and the value in his superannuation interest grew, very substantially, during the relationship, so that it now represents the most significant asset in the pool, comprising about 75% of the divisible pool.”

Reply this was primarily only possible because Paul McKibbin contributed in excess of $27,000 of his net $43,000 income after tax to his superannuation. None of these calculations make sense nor can they. The justice Brereton would have us believe in his judgment McKibbin has been badly done by.

Paul McKibbin has not declared the amount of money he has received for his work with ADF and Australian intelligence agencies. The justice Brereton has lied and deceived in his judgment, going along with what Paul McKibbin and his barrister stated.

It is possible in the circumstances Paul McKibbin’s nondisclosure of income received is typical of other senior Australian intelligence personnel. It is possible justice Brereton has lied, deceived and ate it McKibbin’s nondisclosure of income from Australian intelligence agencies.

I have the greatest respect for members of the ADF and members of Australian intelligence and security not only for the dangerous and hazardous work they do but additionally for the camaraderie I have seen present.

Equally I have the greatest disrespect for members of the ADF, and this includes justice Brereton, Paul McKibbin and some members of Australian intelligence and security who have used their perceived powers to silence, to achieve their own evil ends. This in many instances can only be achieved with the cooperation of judicial and government officials remaining silent and perverting the course of justice.

Lie / deception 104 Page 26 paragraph 66
Justice Brereton again lies and deceives prefering the information of fellow ADF member Paul McKibbin when he states there was a paid cleaner at Isaacs. There was no paid cleaner at Isaacs.

Lie / deception 105 Page 27 paragraph 67
Despite evidence to the contrary, and the evidence given under oath by Paul Sharpless, justice Brereton continues with his agenda and states Paul McKibbin does not have alcoholic problems until 2000.

Lie / deception 106 page 27 paragraph 67
Justice Brereton would have us believe in paragraph 67 severe alcoholics accordingly produce all manner of convictions. This is a ridiculous belief particularly from a New South Wales Supreme Court justice. I have visited the many alcohol and drug rehabilitation clinics Paul McKibbin went to I observed whilst some clinics clients had done jail time and committed crimes most of the alcoholics in the majority of the clinics had not.

Justice Brereton would have us believe Paul McKibbin did not drink while at sea. This is a ridiculous lie.
Paul McKibbin in his submission to veterans affairs stated it was the existing alcoholic culture and easy availability of alcohol in the Navy that he states ultimately led to him becoming an alcoholic. Paul McKibbin was hospitalised on land as a result of drinking at sea.

Paul McKibbin’s military medical records show he was hospitalized with pancreatitis whilst supposedly at sea as XO of HMAS Brisbane on several occasions. Paul McKibbin’s medical records show he had pancreatitis while at sea and was hospitalized in Perth for a number of days.

Justice Brereton would have us believe in his judgment Paul McKibbin’s alcohol related problems do not appear to have impacted before 2000. This makes no sense at all as Paul McKibbin was medically discharged from the military for alcohol related problems which were greatly evident before 2000 leading to his medical discharge.

Lie / deception 107
Justice Brereton also states, “suggestions that he ( McKibbin ) has been hospitalized on numerous occasions during the Isaacs period did not sustain scrutiny. I reject the proposition that Mr. Sharpless was, during this period, engaged on a daily basis in the care of Mr. McKibbin, let alone seven as he at one stage put it. ”

Reply justice Brereton once again discredits Paul Sharpless’ testimony given under oath. Paul McKibbin was discharged from the ADF for because of his alcoholic related problems and being severely depressed.

Justice Brereton has discredited the information provided by Paul Sharpless and his solicitor during this entire judgment. Until now, whilst commenting on the suppositions put forward to the court by Paul McKibbin’s barrister at no time has justice Brereton mentioned all considered information provided to the court by Paul Sharpless’ solicitor.

Lie / deception 108 Page 28 paragraph 68
This paragraph in justice Brereton’s judgment shows deception and lies, and complete bias and favouritism to his fellow ADF member Paul McKibbin. It also further demonstrates an agenda to conspire with others to pervert the course of justice and therefore greatly assisting in the illegal and grossly corrupt actions of Paul McKibbin.

I, Paul Sharpless consider it a personal attack on all I had done to assist Paul McKibbin. Justice Brereton has used his power as a judicial officer of the New South Whales Supreme Court to lie repetitively and in the company of others conspire to pervert the course of justice and do irreparable damage to Paul Sharpless. Justice Brereton would have us believe Paul McKibbin’s work at ADF and for Australian intelligence and security was not affected by his severe alcoholism and manic depression. Justice Brereton would have us believe Paul McKibbin has never done anything connected with intelligence in his life. Nothing can be further from the truth. As I, Paul Sharpless stated in the court on some occasions Paul McKibbin’s alcoholism and depression was so great he was unable to attend work and whilst suffering paranoia would not leave his study at home.

It should also be stated during his time in Canberra Paul McKibbin wore suits to work rather than his Navy uniforms. This was because Paul McKibbin was principally involved in intelligence and security work.

Whilst working in Canberra Paul McKibbin discussed many intelligence matters with me. For this Paul Sharpless was subsequently silenced and made persona non grata.

Lie / deception 109 Page 31 paragraph 72
I am completely sickened by justice Brereton’s lies in this paragraph. Justice Brereton states, “by 2001, all Mr. McKibbin’s property had been accumulated, as a result of his own efforts.”

Reply This is complete nonsense and more lies by justice Brereton. The judge goes on to further state ,

Lie / deception 110 justice Brereton states, ”Mr. Sharpless made no contribution of significance.”
Reply this again is lies and deception. Justice Brereton’s agenda seems to be to assist Paul McKibbin greatly, financially and otherwise as his fellow ADF military officer.

The contributions made by partners of ADF personnel, regardless of their sexuality, are large and always impact on the partner. After 12 years of being in a de facto relationship with Paul McKibbin there can be no greater insensibility and no greater affront to Paul Sharpless then to be told he contributed nothing despite everything he actually did, by a judge in the New South Wales Supreme Court who is additionally an ADF employee.

It is also an assault on Paul Sharpless for the judge to not mention at all Paul Sharpless being continually subjected to terror and fear by the very people in Australian intelligence and security who supposedly address the issues of terror and fear to Australians.

Lie / deception 111 Page 31 paragraph 73
Justice Brereton is again wrong when he states Paul Sharpless had a, “ power of attorney in 2001, until about 2004.

Reply As stated in the courtroom Paul Sharpless received the power of attorney in 1999. This further shows justice Brereton to be in error when he states Paul McKibbin’s alcoholism was not an issue until after 2000.

As stated in the courtroom Paul McKibbin seldom went to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. There are a number of reasons for this. One, Paul McKibbin was in denial concerning his alcoholism. Two, Paul McKibbin was too drunk to do anything let alone attempt an alcoholics anonymous meeting. Three, alcoholics anonymous only assist members when they are sober. As stated in the courtroom I found this to be one of the failings of the alcoholics anonymous movement.

Lie / deception 112
Justice Brereton greatly understates Paul Sharpless’ assistance to Paul McKibbin when he states ,”he finalized Mr. McKibbin’s taxation affairs for several years and brought them up to date.” The actual number of tax returns not done was over a length of time for eight years. The required tax receipts and records were strewn through the house and had to be compiled. Paul McKibbin lied yet again when he told justice Brereton he was a very neat. He told justice Brereton his tax receipts were all in order. Paul McKibbin’s eight years of tax returns were hardly several years as justice Brereton stated in his judgment.

Paul McKibbin was actually a complete untidy sloth. As a military officer Paul McKibbin was used to people looking after him.

Justice Brereton in this paragraph raises the issue of ‘self interest’ on the part of Paul Sharpless. By 2003, I Paul Sharpless did not think I would be still alive. After all I had been subjected to I felt sure I would be killed if not by Brian Roberts and his associates then by members of the New South Wales police or by members of ADF and Australian intelligence and security. This was especially true of the ADF who said I didn’t exist, have no rights, and told me I would have to kill myself and the means to do that would be provided by them.

It is most evident to me and it became evident to my solicitor, justice Brereton was positioned to hear the case and carry out a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Lie / deception 113 Page 32 paragraph 74
Justice Brereton states Sharpless continued to manage Sign a rama until its sale in March 2002.

Reply Earlier in his judgment justice Brereton had stated Paul Sharpless was unemployed and in receipt of unemployment benefits during the entire time justice Brereton now states he managed Sign a rama for Paul McKibbin.

Sign a rama was a profitable business but Paul McKibbin made it so debt ridden it was perceived as being unprofitable. Sign a Rama franchises exist in many countries and there are in excess of 650 of them. Paul McKibbin principally sold the business to receive his veterans affairs TPI pension. Owning a business he would not be able to receive this.

As stated in the courtroom Paul Sharpless, not receiving a wage or other entitlements whilst managing the sign a rama franchise Paul Sharpless was dependent on his credit cards and the financial assistance of his parents. Paul McKibbin disputed in the courtroom Paul Sharpless was entitled to receive any financial benefit from managing his business.

Lie / deception 114 Page 34 paragraph 77
It is here that justice Brereton states he considers the de facto relationship to be no greater than three years between Paul McKibbin and Paul Sharpless. These are total lies and a further travesty of justice by a New South Wales Supreme Court judge.

Lie / deception 115 Page 34 paragraph 78
In this paragraph justice Brereton once again states his agenda by saying, ”Mr. McKibbin would have had the property and superannuation that he has today -- quite probably more -- had the relationship never taken place.”

Reply As I explained in the courtroom, with justice Brereton present, on several occasions I was able to save Paul McKibbin’s life. I was also additionally through direct action able to save him financially on several occasions enabling him to have the assets he has today. Again though a true picture of Paul McKibbin’s actual assets was not disclosed to the supreme court.

Lie / deception 116 Justice Brereton also lies when he states ,”I do not except that, Mr. Sharpless is any worse off by reason of being in a relationship.”

Reply I repetitively stated in the courtroom, although it was most difficult to believe, I became aware Paul McKibbin and some of his friends were responsible for terrorizing and subjecting me to many years of death threats during my relationship with Paul McKibbin. For his part although Paul McKibbin was the instigator of the death threats. He said he would protect me with the assistance of other members of ADF and Australian intelligence and security. Paul McKibbin fabricated many lies to cause harm to Paul Sharpless.

Paul McKibbin’s many illegal actions have only been made possible by the continued illegal assistance of many others.

Lie / deception 117 Page 35 paragraph 79
Justice Brereton is completely wrong when he states, “Mr. Sharpless committed four years of his life to this.”

Reply I, Paul Sharpless committed 12 years of my life to looking after, loving, and caring for Paul McKibbin. If it isn’t evident by now I, Paul Sharpless do not do things by halves and make full commitments to the things I do in my life.

Lie / deception 118 Page 35 paragraph 81
Justice Brereton further lies and attacks attacks Paul Sharpless in this paragraph, by stating the weight of the contributions by Paul Sharpless during 2001 - 2004 is diminished by his poor stewardship.

Reply This is not correct at all. Paul McKibbin’s main agenda was to get his veterans affairs TPI pension. To do this he offloaded many of his possessions and once more placed any monies in non-disclosed accounts. In addition, once Paul McKibbin had obtained what he wanted namely his TPI, superannuation and the house at Newington he locked Paul Sharpless out of the house at Newington. Paul McKibbin also increased the mortgage blaming Paul Sharpless for the necessity to increase it.

Lie / deception 119 Page 35 paragraph 82
Rather than state Paul Sharpless had been terrorized and subjected to continual fear for 12 years justice Brereton states Paul Sharpless lived well for the entire time he was with Paul McKibbin. This paragraph is completely inconsistent with the information provided by Paul Sharpless in the courtroom.

As stated previously Paul McKibbin had full access to his bank accounts and every other account via Internet banking and the Internet. This he was able to do on either of the two ADF supplied laptops.

The National Australia bank statements were provided by Paul McKibbin. As a intelligence and security employee Paul McKibbin is easily able to prepare false documentation.

Lie / deception 120
Justice Brereton claims Paul Sharpless, “even treated himself to a holiday to the United States of America at Mr McKibbin’s expense.”

Reply In the same paragraph justice Brereton omits Paul McKibbin’s refusal to pay Paul Sharpless in excess of $100,000 for back pay owed while managing the sign franchise. The justice Brereton additionally at no time in his judgment mentions Paul Sharpless was subjected to 12 years of death threats and on occasion was nearly killed the course of Paul McKibbin’s actions.

I did not live well whilst living with Paul McKibbin. There was often no food in the house as Paul McKibbin ate his meals at work or ate very little as he preferred to drink alcohol and become completely intoxicated. It should be mentioned, as it was mentioned in the courtroom, on one occasion when Paul McKibbin’s blood alcohol level was measured it was .58. The measurement was taken again and a third time for verification, as .58 represents 58% of his blood was alcohol.

Many people were aware of the poor conditions I was living in and the major stresses I was being subjected to. One such organization was the counselling service at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital who documented the many things I was subjected to.

Veterans Affairs is also aware of the many atrocities I have been subjected to and have provided me with a clinical psychologist. Veterans Affairs are aware of the ADF and Australian intelligence and security are majorly to blame for the circumstances.

Lie / deception 121 Page 36 paragraph 83
Showing complete bias and favouritism to Paul McKibbin justice Brereton states the emotional hostility between the parties detracted from Mr. McKibbin’s recovery.

Reply this is more deception on justice Brereton’s part. In this paragraph justice Brereton defends a known predator and psychopath. Justice Brereton once again conspires to pervert the course of justice.

It is pathetic and judicially evil for justice Brereton not to state the many and continual injustices Paul Sharpless suffered at the hands of Paul McKibbin and others in ADF and intelligence and security. Justice Brereton has knowingly lied whilst holding the office of Justice in the New South Wales Supreme Court to protect a fellow member of the ADF.

Justice Hamilton had removed himself from the court proceedings on day two because of a conflict of interest. This conflict has already been outlined in this submission. Justice Brereton was appointed and despite a conflict of interest, Justice Brereton did not resign but instead has lied, deceived and attempted to pervert the course of justice.

Section 2.4 Bias

The definition of bias being:

Something that prevents a person from impartially evaluating the facts that have been presented for determination.

The judge who demonstrates bias in a hearing that he or she presides has an attitude or line of thought that impedes the judge from supervising fairly the course of the trial, thereby depriving the party of the right to a fair trial. A judge may recuse himself or herself to avoid the appearance of bias.

Bias can also be considered to be the predisposition of a judge making a judicial decision, against or in favor of one of the parties. This can be shown by remarks, decisions contrary to fact, or other unfair conduct. Bias can be toward an ethnic group, homosexuals, women or men, defendant or plaintiffs, large corporations, governing officials and politicians, and military personnel. Obvious bias is a ground for reversal on appeal, but it is hard to prove, since judges are usually careful to display apparent fairness in their comments.

Bias can also be a particular influential power which sways the judgment. In the case of Sharpless v. McKibbin that power could be considered to be the ADF.

Justice requires that the judge should have no bias for or against any individual, and that his mind should be perfectly free to act as the law requires.

I have already listed many lies, deceptions, and gross extortions by justice Brereton throughout this document.

I have identified 121 lies and deceptions by justice Brereton. In every one of these 121 lies and deceptions justice Brereton shows bias towards fellow ADF officer Paul McKibbin.

Justice Brereton’s judgment demonstrated 100% bias against plaintiff Paul Sharpless. This is shown by his remarks, all of his decisions contrary to fact, and gross misconduct in hearing Sharpless v. McKibbin in the first place.

Questions naturally arise as to why justice Brereton, a chief justice of the New South Wales Supreme Court would intentionally lie completely, deceive completely and show 100% bias against plaintiff Paul Sharpless. The answers to these questions are provided in the sections of this document detailing justice Brereton’s attempts at converting the course of justice and more importantly justice Brereton conspiring with others to pervert the course of justice.

Justice Brereton gave Paul McKibbin’s barrister unbridled license to make an exorbitant number of baseless allegations against Paul Sharpless. Justice Brereton has later used these unsubstantiated statements from Paul McKibbin’s barrister in his judgment to repetitively debunk Paul Sharpless’s testimony.

Prior to the court hearing the ADF and Australian intelligence and security have gone to great lengths to cover up the abuse and bullying they have subjected Paul Sharpless too. They have once again conspired to silence Paul Sharpless. This time it has been by using the willing party, justice Brereton.

Justice Brereton unlike Justice Hamilton did not remove himself from hearing the case because of a conflict of interest.

I, Paul Sharpless received my judgment from justice Brereton in December 2007. My solicitor’s office received word justice Brereton would be bringing down his judgment one day prior to the appearance in the court room.

To the person in the street, justice Brereton’s bias in judgment ultimately leaves Paul McKibbin in a very favourable position and totally destroys the plaintiff Paul Sharpless once again. This time though Paul Sharpless is financially and physically destroyed in the NSW Supreme court.

It appears RAN commander Paul McKibbin, given his many intelligence roles including as deputy director of an Australian intelligence agency is covertly immune from prosecution.

Paul McKibbin’s barrister had serious words with Paul McKibbin prior to justice Brereton bringing down his judgment in the seldom used old Supreme Court building between Macquarie street and the domain. . Paul McKibbin’s barrister stating to Paul McKibbin, “leave him alone after this, don’t threaten him anymore. Do you hear me, leave him alone.” Paul McKibbin did not look at his barrister and did not reply.

Justice Brereton’s judgment with the assistance of others was an evil attack on plaintiff Paul Sharpless.

Section 2.5 Perverting the course of justice

Definition; Perverting the course of justice in Australian law is a criminal offense in which someone prevents justice from being served on themselves and or another party.

Perverting of justice can be any of three acts:

Fabricating or disposing of evidence
Intimidating a witness or juror
Threatening a witness or juror

Also criminal are (1) conspiring with another or others to pervert the course of justice and (2) intending to pervert the course of justice.

Justice Brereton in his judgment has perverted the course of justice. The following is a list of occurrences when justice Brereton has perverted the course of justice, in his judgment.

1 page 2 paragraph 4
Justice Brereton states, “accordingly, the principal issues:

Was there a domestic relationship between the parties.
What is the divisible pool of property.
What was the respective contributions of the parties under S. 20.
What order should be made, as a matter of justice and equity, to reflect and recognize those contributions?”

Reply Despite all the information presented in the court justice Brereton limits himself to these four issues.

This enables Paul McKibbin to avoid criminal investigations as a result of 11 years of subjecting Paul Sharpless to death threats, continual fear, and attempts to kill him. In this instance justice Brereton has perverted the course of justice. Justice Brereton lies, deceives and shows complete bias even in regard the 4 areas he had limited himself too.

Justice Breretons judgement enables Paul McKibbin to avoid investigations by the Australian tax office for tax evasion. Though the tax office is currently investigating both Paul McKibbin and his mother. In this instance justice Brereton has peerverted the course of justice.

2 page 3 paragraph 6
Justice Brereton, despite much evidence and information to the contrary, denies Paul McKibbin has done any work associated with any Australian intelligence agency. Justice Brereton states Paul McKibbin has only worked for the Royal Australian Navy. Justice Brereton states Paul McKibbin earnt $440,000 net for his last 10 years of service. In doing so justice Brereton grossly understates Paul McKibbin’s actual earnings given that during this period Paul McKibbin was deputy director of an Australian intelligence agency and additionally a member of a covert intelligence list. The justice Brereton has enabled Paul McKibbin to pervert the course of justice on two instances here. The first one being the issue of tax evasion and the second issue being nondisclosure to the Supreme Court during the period of discovery.

3 page 5 paragraph 9
Justice Brereton lies, deceives and shows bias in favor of Paul McKibbin and by stating the de facto relationship between Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin did not commence in Sydney when the couple first lived together but in Canberra when McKibbin posted there. Justice Brereton then later states in the relationship lasted for only three or four years and not from 1993 until 2005. By making this statement justice Brereton has converted the course of justice enabling the settlement payout figure to Paul Sharpless to be much less.

4 page 6 paragraph 12
Justice Brereton shows complete bias in favor of McKibbin. This bias ultimately converting the course of justice in his final judgment.

5 page 6 paragraph 14
Justice Brereton states, “The evidence does not establish the cost of acquisition, but Mr. McKibbin funded it.”

Reply This is not true. The business of sign-a-rama Petersham was actually funded by a business loan paid by profit from the business which Paul Sharpless managed. Effectively Paul Sharpless paid for the business loan as a result of managing and working in the business.

Justice Brereton states Paul Sharpless was unemployed and on unemployment benefits. This is completely untrue. By making these statements justice Brereton perverts the course of justice by discharging Paul McKibbin of his economic responsibility to pay Paul Sharpless for the wages and superannuation he didn’t receive. This amount was in excess of $100,000.

Justice Brereton also pervert the course of justice by not mentioning in his judgment the extortion told McKibbin was subjected to. Justice Brereton, as a serving member of the ADF has covered this up like all members of the ADF. If this action by justice Brereton again pervert the course of justice. More seriously though this action, shows conspiracy by the ADF of which justice Brereton is a member.

Justice Brereton also perverts the course of justice by concealing the information Paul McKibbin is a member of the Australian intelligence community. This is still the case today.

Paul Sharpless gave information in the court before justice Brereton concerning various intelligence projects Paul McKibbin was working on. As stated in court Paul Sharpless and Paul McKibbin discussed many aspects of Paul McKibbin’s intelligence activities and previous activities. This included how Paul McKibbin was ‘tapped’ on the shoulder and asked to join Australian intelligence. In the courtroom mention was also made of who tapped Paul McKibbin on the shoulder.

The discussions in the courtroom before justice Brereton additionally concentrated on major fraud occurring in military and intelligence projects. One example was the JORN project. As a member of the ADF justice Brereton has attempted to cover up the information provided in the courtroom. As a senior ADF member justice Brereton has assisted the ADF to keep this highly sensitive criminal activity hidden.

6 page 12 paragraph 34
Justice Brereton attempts to totally dismiss Paul Sharpless’ testimony by stating, “ultimately, the deterioration of the once close relationship between these parties has produced such a level of embitterment and distrust that the evidence of each is affected by an unsurprising lack of objectivity, and consequent polarization of the perceptions.

Reply Here justice Brereton nullifies all of the information Paul Sharpless in the court case and as such perverted the course of justice, showing great bias and favor in Paul McKibbin.

In his judgment justice Brereton makes reference to $400,000 being missing. During the court hearing Paul McKibbin’s barrister initially claimed without without any evidence to back it up, that Paul Sharpless had stolen $300,000 from Paul McKibbin. This amount was later escalated to $400,000, then $600,000, then $650,000, and then finally $700,000.

Justice Brereton allowed Paul McKibbin’s barrister to make continual unsubstantiated false claims during the entire length of the court proceedings. If these unsubstantiated false claims then it became statements justice Brereton used as facts in his judgment. This subsequently has perverted the course of justice.

Justice Brereton, by not mentioning the extortion to Paul McKibbin has greatly affected Paul Sharpless’ access to the legal recourse concerning these criminal events and once more has perverted the course of justice.

Nor does justice Brereton mentioned the many years of death threats and fear Paul Sharpless was subjected to by Paul McKibbin and others. By not mentioning this in his judgment justice Brereton has once more perverted the course of justice.

Justice Brereton’s attempts to threaten plaintiff with criminal charges involving the theft of $700,000. Justice Brereton in his judgment, in the courtroom stated he contemplated criminal charges against Paul Sharpless concerning the amount of money missing, but took this into account in his judgment. Justice Brereton mentioned this in his judgment, saying he has taken this into account in his final judgment.

In these statements justice Brereton implies Paul Sharpless should be charged with criminal offenses concerning the amount of money he has stolen from Paul McKibbin. If these threats by justice Brereton were fabricated with out any sustainability by Paul McKibbin’s barrister. Justice Brereton has once again converted the course of justice greatly against all Sharpless and greatly in favor of his fellow ADF employee, Paul McKibbin.

Section 2.6 Conspiracy with others to pervert the course of justice

Conspiracy consists in the agreement between two or more persons to pervert the course of justice.

In the instance of justice Brereton excepting the case of Sharpless verse McKibbin, justice Brereton is a member of the ADF unlike all McKibbin.

Paul Sharpless had been subjected to continual harassing, bullying, threats including death threats and a cover-up of all of these activities by members of the ADF. Justice Brereton’s acceptance to hear the case showed a preconceived and continuing consensus by members of the ADF to continue the wrongdoing.

Identification of a range of unlawful acts thus provides the conspiracy.

Prior to assisting the crime of conspiracy has occurred I read predominantly, The law of criminal conspiracy, second edition, by Peter Gillies.

“That a group resolution may be more likely to produce a substantial wrongdoing than would a resolution in the mind of a solitary individual, has been explained by reference to the moral pressure exerted upon an individual by the other members of the group. It has been said that, because of this, any one member of the group will be less likely to detach himself or herself from the plot, or to try to have it dissolved., he or she is less likely, that is, to desist from pursueing a given course of action then if he or she were acting individually, with the decision to proceed being entirely a matter of his or her own volution. “ ( page 5 the Law of criminal conspiracy )

The multiple object conspiracy
With the conspiracy is one for the commission of a multiplicity of crimes which have actually been committed, any one or more of a complex of considerations which seem to have influenced the bringing of a conspiracy charge, either alone or in combination with counts for the substantive offenses. (Page 10 the law of criminal conspiracy )

One matter favouring the charging of conspiracy in this situation is the fact that a conspiracy, no matter how numerous the crimes committed, and irrespective that it may have been in existence for very many years, may be indicated in the one count. In effect the prosecution is allowed to evade the rule prohibiting a duplicity multiplicity of criminal allegations in a single count.

( page 11 the law of criminal conspiracy )

We are a substantiative crime is alleged, it is necessary, obviously, to prove all of its ingredients against the defendant, and when numerous such crimes are alleged, it follows that the Crown must specifically prove each and every such offense.

There is no requirement that each party to a given conspiracy has personally communicated to every other party his assent to the formation of the criminal agreement, and vice versa.

It must be a genuine uniting of minds in agreement upon the commission of a criminal or other unlawful objective.

The question of whether a person becomes a party to the general conspiracy by virtue of agreeing to some of its purposes, and having some knowledge, but not necessarily very comprehensive knowledge, can be said of justice Brereton.

Justice Brereton in his judgment hides much information disclosed during the court hearing, and thus aides both Paul McKibbin, and the ADF and Australian intelligence agencies. Justice Brereton conspires to further assist the existing conspiracy against Paul sharpless by members of the ADF and principally Paul McKibbin.

There are very few cases indicating how precise a conspirators purpose must be at a substantially level in order that conspiracy be applied. Conspiracy is an inherently vague concept because it is theoretically confined to the notion of a consensus. (Page 35 the law of criminal conspiracy)

The notion of consensus is important here as repetitively from 1993 until present Paul McKibbin and members of the ADF and Australian intelligence agencies have conspired to continually threatened me, subject me to many threats and death threats, limited my human rights, and subjected me to impoverishment. It can be said the conspiracy involving Paul McKibbin, members of the ADF, and members of Australian intelligence agencies commenced in 1993.

It can also be said that the conspiracy continues as far the conspiracy has not been stopped.

Conspirators need not agree on the details of the scheme.

( page 56 the law of criminal conspiracy )
A number of Canadian cases may be cited in favor of the principle that a partial proof will suffice. ( page 52 the Law of criminal conspiracy)

Mention should be made, in the Canadian Supreme Court’s decision of Giguere ( 1983) it was excepted that a person charged with conspiracy to commit to offenses centering on corruption, I.e., to give benefit to an official for improper purposes and exercise influence in relation to the officials decision-making for an improper purpose,could be convicted upon proof of an agreement extending to only one of these.

( page 53 the law of criminal conspiracy )
Conspiracy is an offense of intent, I.e. purpose. The requirement of purpose is inherent in the notion of conspiracy as an agreement. Subject to this it is not the case that a person cannot be a party to a conspiracy for a crime unless he or she actually intends substantially, which the offense senses on.

(Page 99 the law of criminal conspiracy)
Conspiracy to defraud

The leading authority is now to be regarded as being the house of lords decision in Scott v Metropolitan police Commissioner ( 1975). In its there lordships identified two distinct categories of conspiracy to defraud:

The first category is worthy of note here.

(1) when the agreement is one of affecting economic interest, ie, where it is one “by dishonesty to deprive a person of something which is his or to which he is or would be all might be entitled”, or “an agreement by dishonesty to injure some proprietary right of his.”

(page 109 the law of criminal conspiracy)
Conspiracies to defraud involving the infliction of economic loss.

Through the entire conspiracy I Paul Sharpless have been subjected to continual economic loss. Justice Branson’s judgment was the most severe of all of these inflections resulting directly resulting in my bankruptcy.

The defendant need not be motivated by a desire for economic advantage.

In order to become liable for conspiracy to defraud, provided that its requirements are otherwise established, it is unnecessary that the defendant should have acted with the motivation to secure an economic advantage to themselves.

( page 120 the law of criminal conspiracy )
The concept of fraud or dishonesty

The offense of conspiracy to defraud requires proof that the defendant’s acted fraudulently, or dishonestly

In determining whether the prosecution has proved that the defendant was acting dishonestly a jury must first of all to decide whether according to the ordinary standards of reasonable and honest people what was done was dishonest. If it was not dishonest by those standards, that is the end of the matter and the prosecution files.

(page 121 the law of criminal conspiracy)
Justice Brereton has continually lied, deceived and as such been totally dishonest. His actions are no different from many of the other people in the ADF including Paul McKibbin.

The reference should also be made to:

Conspiracies for the fraudulent interference with the due performance of a public duty.

Lord Diclock said in Scott v Metropolitan police Commissioner ( 1975) that there is a further category of conspiracy to defraud, where the intended victim is a person performing public duties as distinct from a private individual it is sufficient if the purpose is to course him to act contrary to his public duty, and the intended means of achieving this purpose dishonest. The purpose need not involve coursing economic loss to anyone. That’s too coarse a person performing a public duty to act in a way other than the that in which he would have acted , by dishonest means constituting fraud was recognized by the House of Lords in Welham v DPP (1961).

The Canadian Supreme Court in Paradis v R (1934) stated

Only in very rare cases will it be possible to prove conspiracy by direct evidence. Ordinarily the evidence must proceed by steps. The actual agreement must be gathered from several isolated doings having possibly little or no doubt you taken by themselves, that the bearing of which one upon the other must be interpreted , and their cumulative effect, properly estimated in the light of all surrounding circumstances, may raise a presumption of concerted purpose entitling the jury to find the existence of the unlawful agreement.

The high court commented in similar terms in its recent decision Ahern v R (1988)

The proof of conspiracy then, will typically be by way of circumstantial evidence of the words spoken and asked done by the co-conspirators during its transaction. ( page 177 the law of criminal conspiracy).

I Paul Sharpless, am not a solicitor or member of the legal fraternity. As I detailed in the court hearing before justice Brereton and in the information in this document, since 1993 I have been subjected to many criminal acts and other illegal acts by members of the ADF and Australian intelligence and security. I have detailed some of these acts but there are many more. In hindsight I am now aware as I was in the courtroom that these many actions originated from Paul McKibbin.

In the information I have provided I have stated Paul McKibbin is a senior member of Australia’s intelligence forces. For several years he was deputy director of an Australian intelligence agency whose links were principally to its parent US intelligence agency.

Over the time I have seen a concerted effort on the part of the ADF and members of the intelligence community to criminally subject Paul Sharpless to many threats and fears and subject Paul Sharpless too much economic loss as a result of these continuous threats and fears.

I have continually sought the assistance of members of the police force, politicians and various government departments. All provided no assistance and in some instances told me to go away and forget everything.

In my mind and the minds of others a conspiracy by the Defense Department and Paul McKibbin existed before my appearance in the New South Wales supreme court.

As stated earlier, my appearance in the New South Wales Supreme Court gave me the opportunity of stating under oath the circumstances I have been subjected to. Unfortunately on day two of my judge, Justice Hamilton resigned. The actual circumstances surrounding justice Breretons appointment to the case are still unclear, and remain unclear.

The justice Brereton’s judgment is full of lies, deceptions, bias, and perverts the course of justice. Justice Brereton’s judgment subject me to harsh economic loss resulting in my bankruptcy and greatly assisted Paul McKibbin and members of the ADF to avoid criminal actions.

Justice Brereton’s actions are part of a conspiracy to further pervert the course of justice by the ADF of which justice Brereton is an employee of.

It is a complete conflict of interest that a judge on the new south wales Supreme Court, can also work for the ADF and more importantly hear a case involving a fellow ADF member.

The average person in the street sitting in the courtroom during the hearing and then reading justice Brereton’s judgment would acknowledge the conspiracy against Paul Sharpless continued with the justice Brereton’s judgment. The average person in the street would also assess the conspiracy has not concluded.

I Paul Sharpless have been subjected to the most abhorrent threats. I have found myself in circumstances not of my own making. Paul McKibbin and others have openly shared national secrets, defense secrets, and asked for my views on them. All of this under the guise that my life was in continual danger and McKibbin and others assisting me to stay alive.

I am greatly concerned that the Defense Department and the Australian intelligence community has been able to position justice Brereton, a fellow ADF member to here my case in the New South Wales Supreme Court.

That an Australian judge, more particularly a justice, was able to directly assist the Defense Department, the judge’s actions resulting in a serious infringement of rights including economic loss.

The Defense Department’s interference in the judicial system at a judicial level is possibly without precedent in Australia and I asked the judicial commission to investigate the seriousness of the complaints I make here.

I again state the information I provided above is correct and truthful. I am also aware the information and complaints I have made in this submission are gravely serious.

Kind regards
Paul Sharpless
