Repy FOI Australian Public service Commision



It is particularly amusing when a Commonwealth Agency as large as the Australian Public Service Commission is attempting to intimidate me for exposing atrocious systemic corrupt conduct by it Head, Commissioner Steve Sedgwick and the Skank Karin Fisher Manager of Ethics at the APSC.
According to the AGIS set by the Australian Federal Police, and to try and promote transparency investigators are required to have certain levels of qualifications.
Under FOI the Australian Public service commission had admitted that they do not have any investigation policy and no one in the Australian Public Service Commission has any investigation qualifications. However, to try and cover up for this they have said they outsource these investigations to qualified investigators.
Under FOI  I requested the name of the investigator that the APSC use.
The APSC have supplied me with the following information......
There was a number of complaints made to the Commission under S41(f)of the APSC Act but only one was investigated. This clearly shows the the deliberate attemps by the APSC to cover up breaches and misconduct  of Agency Heads.

Reply from the APSC
Only one investigation was conducted in the financial years 2009-20010 and 2010-2011.
The investigators in THESE CASES were Karin Fisher , an employee from the Commission and a Robert Cornall AO, a contractor engaged by the commission for the purpose of conducting an investigation.
So who the fuck is Robert Cornall AO????????? All I see is that he has been widely criticized on Google!!!!! I will need to ask FOI and obtain his qualifications!!!!
Any other complaints made about Agency Heads were deleted or thrown away by Paul Casmir.

It should be noted the APSC has admitted that no employee at the APSC has any investigation qualification. This includes Karin Fisher the skanky Ethics manager at the APSC who despite having no qualification continues to fuck over complaints from Whistleblowers and complaints under Section 41(f).This would include commissioner Sedgwick.
Documents received under FOI
These were Agency Heads referred under S41 (f)
                             investigator
1 18.8.2009 Karin Fisher Agency  Head A   letter sent
2  8.4.2010    Karin Fisher    Agency Head B   Email sent
3 1.6.2010 Karin Fisher Agency Head C  Email message sent
4    2.6.2010       Steve sedgwick   Agency Head D letter sent
5 29.9.2010 Steve Sedgwick Agency E Letter

6 12.10.2010 Robert Cornall Agency F Letter

All these letters or emails were exempt from disclosure under S47E and 47F Disclosure would be contrary to the Public Interest under S 11A
******** However it should be noted that these would be made available to me under a subpoena**************************


I requested that these letters be released to me with the names of the agency Heads blacked out so I am unable to identify them but am able to read the contents of the letters or emails which would no doubt show a complete failure to adequately address the complaint.
The letter I did receive under FOI was from a complaint I had made about Veronique Ingram Agency Head of ITSA. This showed the complete non compliance with investigation standards and the level that Karin Fisher was prepared to go to protect corrupt conduct at this Agency.
It also shows that the failure of Commissioner Steve Sedgwick to comply with the responsibility of his position.

Hi Chris,
On the 26th September I received  my FOI request from the APSC .
I am particularly interested in Robert Cornall AO who the APSC uses for their investigations. Unfortunately I cannot find any references to his qualifications. However I did attempt to look him up on google and  have seen some particularly negative  comments on his ability. Could you please send me his qualifications.
I also am aware that all requests under FOI must  be published on the APSC  disclosure log, however as yet my requests have not been published. Could you please advise me why the APSC has made a decision  not to comply.
Under FOI I am requesting a copy of any documents held by the APSC in relation to Whistleblowers under S16 of the APSC Act in the past 2 financial years.Also who investigated these and their investigation qualifications.
