Here is an example of a citizen who is clearly experiencing and expressing publicly his frustration with the judicial system - not specifically in Tasmania, but in Australia. What is being done by those in authority to hear his story and fully understand his concerns? What is being done to support him to understand the rationale behind a decision that he clearly believes to be unjust? Or to address the corruption he believes has occurred in his case? Such situations must not be allowed to fester. Where is the humanity in our systems? They cannot simply be about win-lose. Some argue that the legal system’s tendency to frame disputes in dichotomous terms can oversimplify human experience. For example: • Systemic Injustice: The binary nature of decisions can mask structural inequalities or fail to address root causes of disputes. • Exclusion of Nuances: Complex social or ethical dilemmas often require more nuanced approaches than a dichotomy allows. Others dispute that our legal system is not fundamentally dichotomous, even though it often relies on dichotomies for structure and decision-making. They claim that while legal systems aim to establish clarity and resolve disputes in a dichotomous manner, their underlying principles and processes can encompass complexities and nuance. This is critical. Any good parent and teacher knows that if you do not manage a child’s behaviour with compassion and understanding - if you do not listen with empathy to their perspective, support them to process their emotions and to understand the rationale and logic for decisions, then you risk ending up with a child who resents and eventually openly rebels. Trust is built through making wise decision making - decisions that are fair, compassionate, based on fact and sound reasoning - that have integrity. Our systems cannot operate effectively without these essential ingredients. Thoughtful and transparent design of systems, honest and fair implementation, and proper supports are vital. So who is reaching out to Clive Humphris to hear his story and to make sure that the system has served him fairly and with integrity?

A time for reflection and action by those in authority. ETC supports the call for An Australian Dialogue in the lead up to the next election. The corruption and injustices in some of our systems need to be exposed and addressed through hearing people’s stories and so that the level of frustration and injustice within communities does not rise to unsafe levels. https://lnkd.in/gZUk7yzG

Corruption and systemic failures are not just unethical—they are unsustainable. History teaches us that societies can only bear so much inequity and systemic abuse before pushback occurs. The French Revolution is a sobering reminder that when those in power ignore the suffering of everyday people, the resulting anger and desperation can spark upheaval. Today, we reflect on a recent tragedy that claimed a man’s life. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family. At no time does ETC condone violence as a solution to systemic issues. But this incident highlights the urgent need for fair and transparent systems that genuinely serve the people they are meant to protect. When corruption and unfairness permeate systems, they erode trust and fuel resentment. Win-lose situations—where power is wielded at the expense of others—are not sustainable. They heighten both personal and national security risks, creating fertile ground for instability. To build a safer future, we must insist on integrity and fairness in the systems that impact lives. Ensuring justice is not just a moral imperative—it is a practical one. By addressing inequities, we eliminate the justification for desperate actions and foster stability for all. The time for meaningful reform is now. A society where systems work for everyone is a society where we are all safer. “While police say the motive for the killing remains unclear, it also sparked a bigger conversation — about how anger at the system had reached a point where someone might think there's justification for murder.” https://lnkd.in/giiShwDc

The Harsh Reality of Speaking Up Against Abuse in Australia - Discovering DARVO Deny Attack Reverse Victim Offender… In Australia, the act of speaking up against abuse often feels like stepping into a second battlefield. Our systems—supposedly designed to protect—sometimes end up enabling further harm through secondary victimisation. When you speak up against workplace bullying or mobbing, you risk retaliatory false allegations that aim to discredit you and protect the perpetrators. When you speak up about the failure of fiduciary responsibility and conflict of interest inherent in body corporate members giving themselves common land for free within a strata title development then, you are targeted for further mobbing and assaulted: When you speak up against that physical assault, the abuser pleads guilty (because the evidence is undeniable) but then weaponises the system, filing counter-assault charges to fabricate a narrative of self-defense to lessen their consequences. Isn’t that the ultimate act of cowardice? To abuse someone not just once but twice—first through violence and then through lies—and to have the system support this behaviour by dragging the victim of assault through the court system? This cycle of re-victimisation doesn’t stop there. Victims can face further repercussions simply for seeking support. Imagine reaching out to your workplace for protection against a domineering colleague or a challenging personal situation, only to find yourself punished instead. Rather than honouring their duty of care and showing compassion, some workplaces strategically position the chessboard to manoeuvre the victim out of their job making their situation even worse. How callous and unethical. Victims can take such employers to the Fair Work Commission but they face a David and Goliath fight there. They are out of a job whilst the employer can afford a team of high powered, expensive lawyers. What kind of society allows this? How can a system that claims to seek justice turn a blind eye to such manipulation? How can we build a workplace culture that supports victims instead of enabling abusers to retaliate? These are questions we need to confront, as individuals and as a society. It is time to demand accountability, reform our systems to prevent secondary victimisation, and ensure that those brave enough to speak up are met with compassion—not further harm. I am not willing to remain silent. As we move towards the next election in Australia I am reaching out to others who want better. The trail of broken lives and injustices is unacceptable. These weaknesses and abuses of our systems, the harm and the corruption need to be exposed and fixed. I have a duty to my daughter who witnessed her mother physically assaulted by a man right in front of her, but who cannot yet see how these systems work to protect her. #EndAbuse #StopSecondaryVictimization #WorkplaceBullying #Accountability #Justice https://lnkd.in/gyg_t5mi

As we move into a pre-election period it is worth reminding ourselves about what was promised at the last election… https://lnkd.in/gahZKNkW
