After three or four years rest and unpressurised thinking and fun with the kids I successfully applied for reappointment with the Australian Public Service in the 1990s and the Australian Labor Party was in power.

I was still pretending that my role was that only of a conscientious federal public servant – should have known better shouldn’t I.

The atmosphere in the agency the then Commonwealth Department of Education was friendly and it was just the way I preferred things to be even though you probably thought I should have learned my lesson and be prepared for what followed.

In the public service content of research and similar counts but alas not for me because as circumstances revealed themselves especially with the election of the Howard Government (Liberal Party of Australia) conflict arose repeatedly over my reputation and what should follow given the well-known injustices which had happened to me in the 1980s and indeed much earlier. I was accepted a political professional first and foremost and not a desk advisor which I thought was a safe way out of the hate that had been repeatedly directed to me.

The hate reared its ugly head again and I tried to give it the flick but no such luck.

Coordination of my opposition came from the right groups in the Australian Labor Party and the Howard Government also played into my enemies hands in international politics and certainly would not correct this impression.

So after several years especially as the wheels turned the hate about world war two became a feature with many letting their emotions making clear their objectives were seats in parliament or even payment for them to provide cover of any kind and justice for me in the work place even though they knew I was lucky still even to be alive given the many attempts to stifle my life and deliberately misrepresent my reputation and indeed my role in any capacity in the community.

I had become a martyr because not merely was the cruelty always on the cards but I was not permitted to debate my circumstances on the media or in the press. Standover thugs should not have respect for these achievements and still do.

American policy not justified in world war two is no longer justified in its attempts to thwart me.

An apology at the very least is long overdue.

One figure hell bent on continuing the intimidation and blocking and being known for it, known to me as Stephen Bartos,  tried recently to put on as though he was some sort of supreme being controller to return me to the public service even though the hatred explained  here and known to the public locally and overseas is well known.

What people know now and require is release of the blacked out savagery here of world war two and resolution of my rights which are due to any human being and have been consistently denied to stifle even the present government.
