Several members of the household of Mr. John Brisbane were witnesses to the serious dog attack upon myself in April 2022 or arrived on the scene immediately after the attack and waited with me while I waited for the ambulance to the be taken to the hospital.
One of these people, Catherine Hassall made the initial contact with the Mareeba Shire Council whilst I was in the ER with serious wounds at Mareeba hospital.
I had been informed that some of these people had provided information which had become a part of the report on this matter made by Mareeba Shire Council. These people included, Catherine Hassall, Caroline Leiber, Varsha Brisbane and Maya Thiango Hassall.
On 24 February 2025, I sent an email to John Brisbane and the other adult members of his household requesting “that any person who made a report to Mareeba Shire Council about the dog attack on myself request a copy of that report as well as all other information in the power, possession and control of Mareeba Shire Council in relation to the attack and make it available to me as soon as possible”. Attachment MM1.
Despite the fact that Mr. John Brisbane and his household have expressed ‘supposed’ friendship with myself and my daughter for many years, no member of Mr. John Brisbane’s household complied with this request or even replied. The only exception to this was a reply from Mr. John Brisbane’s wife, Mrs Caroline Leiber.
Mrs Leiber ignored my simple request and tried to get me to meet with her instead. There are quite a number of reasons why I have no desire to meet with Mrs Leiber, but the fact that her and her household will not only comply with this simple request, but have either repeatedly ignored it completely or violently attacked my reputation for having the audacity of making this simple request, is the most black and white and obvious one.
Mrs Lieber and her household, like many people and organisations heavily involved in Human Trafficking, believe themselves to be above any suspicion of any wrong doing because they have worked very hard on cultivating their public persona as being ‘community minded’ and ‘good’ individuals. To date it is clear that this carefully cultivated public persona has been very profitable for these people. However the facts of this matter will show that this public persona nowhere near solid enough to cover up the actual facts of this matter.
John Brisbane is a ‘community man’ only because it is profitable for him and affords him and his family a certain lifestyle and it clearly comes with certain obligations which he would prefer that people do not know about. I would urge people to do the math and follow the money.
On 10 March 2025, I again sent an email to the 6 adult members of Mr. John Brisbane’s household again requesting that they “request that Mareeba Shire Council release all of the information which it has in relation to the dog attack upon myself as a matter of urgency”. Attachment MM2. I also included in this email a pre-prepared sample pro forma email to Mareeba Shire Council so that it would only take less than a minute for the household members to add their name and send to Mareeba Shire Council. I agreed to meet with Mrs Caroline Leiber if her and her household would meet some very minimal conditions of good faith which included spending the one minute to send the abovementioned email to Mareeba Shire Council.
I also asked questions in these emails about the very clear conflict of interest in this situation which simply cannot be ignored. This is that John Brisbane and his household gain very significant favours and on-going financial benefits from Mareeba Shire Council and other government entities and are refusing to disclose the details and amounts of those benefits and favours, whilst continuing to offer empty words professing good faith and refusing to take the simple action requested, without any explanation.
To date, I have received no reply from Mr. John Brisbane or Mrs Caroline Leiber and 3 other members of the household in relation to this simple request. I did receive one reply from one member of the household, Willem Brugman, (who had not previously completed a report to Mareeba Shire Council about the dog attack and which Mareeba Shire Council refused to act upon). Although Mr. Willem Brugman did take this simple action, which was completely dismissed by Mareeba Shire Council, he also took this opportunity to say words to the effect that I may be possessed by a demon.
It is interesting that Mr. Willem Brugman seriously feels that intimating that I may be possessed by a demon is an effective way to detract attention from the fact that he significantly funds his lifestyle with funds from an organisation which is clearly corrupt in this situation and that his wife, Catherine Hassall is refusing to provide or request a copy of the report which she made about the dog attack to me despite the fact that she has long professed (very unconvincing) good will and friendship towards me. This woman also chased me from one end of the supermarket to the other in February this year, even though I had just informed her that I did not wish to speak with her. If Catherine Hassall really had nothing to hide and was genuinely friendly, where would be the harm in spending a minute of her time to request a copy of the report which she made to Mareeba Shire Council?
Instead of receiving a reply from Mr. John Brisbane and his household, which would be the reasonable expectation from a group of people who have long expressed apparent ‘friendship’ and ‘goodwill’, Mr. John Brisbane made false allegations about my mental health to Queensland Health in an entirely transparent attempt to detract attention away from his own illegal actions and corruption.
Instead of taking less than a minute out of their day to send a simple email, which they did not even have to write, Mr. John Brisbane, on behalf of his household, took the extreme step and extra time and effort required to make allegations about my mental health to Queensland Health.
This then caused me to have to unreasonably and yet again field multiple telephone calls from an unidentified purported employee of Queensland Health who then adopted Mr. John Brisbane’s narrative, without any evidence whatsoever and no knowledge of this matter. The details of this are as follows:
On 14 March 2025, I received a telephone call from a private number from a man who would only identify himself as ‘Matthew’ from Queensland Health Mental Health.
‘Matthew’ refused to provide me with any other identification such as a last name or an employee number. He expected me to take his word that he was an employee of Queensland Health, without any proof whatsoever and started to immediately question me about my mental health.
Only when I asked questions, was I then informed by Matthew that:
He was a social worker.
That a man named ‘John’ had made accusations about my mental health. Matthew could not provide me with the last name of this man, although he did inform me that the man was a former neighbour who had received a recent email from myself. There is only one main who fits that description. His name is Mr. John Brisbane.
Matthew used the word ‘concern’ in relation to the abovementioned allegations. Given the facts of this matter, which I will discuss below, the use of that word is an obvious lie.
When I expressed doubt as to the sincerity of the ‘concern’ expressed by Mr. John Brisbane, Matthew was adamant that the concern ‘seemed genuine’.
‘Matthew’ seemed very put out that I would have the audacity to ask him questions in order to verify his identity, instead of simply taking the word of a man who called from a private number and refused to identify himself.
‘Matthew’ also took offense to the fact that I had used the correct term ‘allegation’ in relation to Mr. John Brisbane contacting Queensland Health about my mental health. He predictably expressed his objection to my assessment of the situation by saying that ‘You sound a bit paranoid’. Surprise, surprise. What is the appropriate response to a grown man deciding not to answer a legal letter containing questions which he clearly does not want to answer and instead making allegations about a persons mental health?
On 28 March 2025, I received another telephone call from a ‘Matthew’ from Queensland Health requesting a call back. I decided not to return this call which was another obvious and illegal act of pure harassment.
There is no reasonable reason why Mr. John Brisbane and the other members of his household should not spend one minute of their time in order to send an email to Mareeba Shire Council to request that the reports which they made to Mareeba Shire Council be released to me.
This action by Mr. John Brisbane is not consistent with genuine concern.
Is it not the most obvious thing in the world that a criminal, who has been exposed for a very serious crime, will do anything at all to discredit their victim?
This is a clear example of D.A.R.V.O. which stands for ‘Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender’. This is a very common manipulation strategy that perpetrators of wrongdoing use against their victims in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Human Traffickers also use this strategy extensively against their victims if their victims ever speak up. I would have thought that social worker would have an understanding of this dynamic.
If John Brisbane and his household really do genuinely care for me and my family, why would he and his household members not simply take the minute that it would take to send the pre-prepared email to Mareeba Shire Council requesting that it release all information in its possession about the severe dog attack upon myself, which it investigated and is failing to release?
It is a well established principle of law, not to mention basic common sense, that if a person fails to produce evidence upon request, or fails to do all reasonable things within their power to produce such evidence when it could be reasonably expected that they would do so, then it is fair and reasonable to conclude that the failure to produce such evidence is due to the fact that that person is hiding something.
Mr. John Brisbane cannot have it both ways. Either his expression of ‘concern’ for my welfare is genuine, in which case, he and the other members of his household would have promptly complied with my request to spend one minute to send an email to Mareeba Shire Council to ask them to release the information which they have in relation to their reports and otherwise about this serious attack on my person; or
Mr. John Brisbane does not concern for my welfare, in which case, his allegations against my mental health, instead of providing the evidence requested, is a gross attempt to defame my mental health, deprive me of my liberty, cover up his own illegal and corrupt dealings and assist the other Human Traffickers in this network (which includes my family) to illegally traffic me into the mental health system.
Is the man ‘Matthew’ who telephoned me on 14 and 28 March 2025 indeed an employee of Queensland Health?
In the current environment, does the Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health believe that it is reasonable that a person should be expected to talk on the telephone to a complete stranger who is unwilling to provide any identification, at all, let alone about personal issues?
Did ‘Matthew’ or Queensland Health undertake any inquires into the truth of this matter before clearly aligning himself with the apparent views and agenda of Mr. John Brisbane?
Does ‘Mathew’ and Queensland Health always take allegations against a person’s mental health at face value and call them ‘paranoid’ for defending themselves?
Does ‘Matthew’ or Queensland Health have any training or experience in the law pertaining to or the dynamics of Human Trafficking?
Does ‘Matthew’ have any training in the Queensland Mental Health Act (2016) which prevents any findings of mental illness due to family violence. Given that my family is clearly targeting me and has corrupt connections to the vast Human Trafficking networks in this country, this situation is clearly Family Violence by proxy.
Did Mr. John Brisbane inform Queensland Health that he has a massive conflict of interest in this matter and/or that his household have received significant ongoing financial benefits from Mareeba Shire Council?
Does Queensland Health and the Queensland Police Service deem it to be reasonable that a man who may very well be a Human Trafficker ( and Queensland Health cannot say that Mr. John Brisbane is not a Human Trafficker) can telephone Queensland Health in a clear attempt to have me trafficked through the mental health system by expressing completely self-serving and completely fake ‘concern’ and that as a result of this, an employee of Queensland Health would telephone me from a private number, refuse to identify themselves, refuse to definitively identify the person who made the accusation and then make the statement that I ‘seem to be a bit paranoid’ because I asked questions about this situation?
