11. The Weaponised Incompetence of the Police.
In Australia,
Human Trafficking Is,
In Practice,
An Essentially 100% Legal,
Taxpayer-Funded &
Heavily Protected Industry.
...
The Australian Police Services,
As A Whole,
Deliberately, Systemically, & Illegally
Refuse To Enforce The Law Against
The Fastest-Growing Criminal Enterprise in the World,
Second Only To The Illegal Drug Trade In Revenue. (Facts)
...
The Australian Government Convicted
Zero Human Traffickers in 2022,
Four in 2021, &
Three in 2023.
...
Given That Statistics Can Sometimes
Go In One Ear And Out The Other,
Can We Please Let That Sink In For A Moment -
Australia Recorded
Zero Convictions
For The Fastest-Growing Criminal Enterprise in the World,
Which is, In Revenue, Second Only To The Illegal Drug Trade. (Facts)
...
In quite the understatement,
The 2024 US State Department Report
On The Australian Government’s
Handling of Human Trafficking Stated:
...
“...The Number of Cases
Law-Enforcement Pursued
Remained Disproportionately Low
Compared to the Scale of the Crime.”
...
In 2023,
The Global Organised Crime Index
Gave Australia A Dismal Report Card of 3.5/10
For Its (Non)Handling of Human Trafficking,
Noting That 2/3 of Prosecutions Did Not Reach Court.
...
The US Report Also Stated That Survivors Reported:
...
Being Treated As Criminals Rather Than Victims
When They Sought Assistance From Law Enforcement.
...
Being Denied Support Because Authorities Took the Stance
That Because the Victims were Adults & Not Physically Restrained,
They Could Have Just Walked Out of the Trafficking Situation.
...
Having to Remain in the Trafficking Situation for Another Two Years,
Because The AFP Dismissed The Case.
..
Only the Police Had The Legal Authority
To Refer Victims To The Support Programs,
Which Prevents Victims From Accessing Support Services.
...
Most Commentators Focus on the Need For
'More Education For Police Officers'.
...
However, This Conclusion
Conveniently Ignores
The Following Very Relevant Facts:
...
There are Massive Financial Incentives
For Corrupt Officers to
Not
Recognise', Investigate & Prosecute
Human Traffickers.
...
There are
No
Effective Barriers to Prevent Human Traffickers
From Entering the Police Services, &
.
There are
No
Effective Barriers to Prevent Human Traffickers
From Entering the Organisations that are Charged
With Addressing Corruption in the Police Services.
...
There Are Therefore
No
Consequences
For the Corrupt Actors
Who Refuse To Enforce
These Laws.
...
The Traffickers Within The System Rely On The Fact
That Most People Do Not Want To Risk Offending People
By Asking For Transparency & Accountability
Of People Who May Be Honest.
...
Yet Traffickers Will Be The First & The Loudest To Be Offended,
When They Can No Longer Simply
Avoid Acknowledging
That Such A Question Has Been Asked Of Them.
...
Unfortunately,
For The Many Victims Of Human Trafficking,
This Performance Of Offence,
Is Generally Enough To Shut Most People Up,
And Prevent Further Very Uncomfortable Questions.
...
The Image of The Bumbling & Ignorant, But Honest Policeman,
May Cause Everyone (Except the Victims)
To Feel All Warm & Fuzzy Inside,
(And, No Doubt, There Are Honest Police People).
However, Systemically, Practically & Financially,
This image is Not Supported By The Facts,
The Experience of Victims,
Or Common Sense.
...
...
No Amount of
Education
Is Going To Stop Corrupt Police Officers
From
Pretending
Not To See Something,
Whilst It Remains Very
Profitable
For Them to Continue to Pretend to Not See It,
&
Whilst There Remain No Barriers Or Consequences
For The Continued Pretense.
...
Does Anyone Really Believe That,
Some Seven Years After The Human Trafficking Provisions
Were added to the Commonwealth Criminal Code (in 2005),
That The Collective Police Services
of the Entire Country
Could Not Manage A Single Conviction In 2022?
And This In An Environment Where This Crime is Rife & Growing Quickly &
When The Police Services are Actively Turning Victims Away?
...
The Continued Tolerance Of
This Deliberate & Blatant
Weaponised Incompetence,
By Tax-Payer Funded Public Servants,
Is Wildly Profitable
to an Already Wildly Profitable 'Industry'.
And it is Costing Many People
Their Freedom & Their Lives.
...
The 'Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free-Card'
...
The Illegal Refusal To Enforce The Law
By The Australian Federal Police Is Used As A
'Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free' Card
By Every Other Corrupt Actor,
In Every Other Organisation
Which A Victim Would Turn To For Help.
...
These Actors State:
"There is Nothing We Can Do,
You Need To Contact The Australian Federal Police".
The AFP Then Illegally Ignore The Victim,
(If They Are Not Already Actively Ignoring the Victim).
'Nothing To See Here' & No Help For The Victim
...
Even For Honest Actors,
The Refusal Of The Australian Federal Police To Act
Is Used As An Instant Discredit & Dismissal,
Of Horrendous Crimes
Without Requiring Anyone To Actually Look At the Evidence.
Surely If There Was Anything To It,
The Police Would Act, Right?
Yet The Statistics Clearly Show That They Don't.
They Just Don't.
...
It Is a Shocking, Sad & Also True Statement That:
It Would Be More Beneficial For the Victims Of Human Trafficking,
If The Australian Federal Police Did Not Exist At All.
As Then The Non-Action of The Police Could Not Be Used To Render Victims Invisible &
It Would Be Obvious That No One Is Helping The Victims of Human Trafficking.
...
Unsurprisingly, Commander Schneider of the Australian Federal Police,
Ignores the Habitual Lack of Replies, Dismissals & Mistreatments
Reported by the Many Victims Who Do Come Forward,
When He States on the AFP Website:
...
“We know that human trafficking is an under-reported crime type.
Many victim-survivors feel ashamed or confused about
what’s happened to them and those feelings are leveraged
by offenders to maintain their silence,
We hope that with an increase in public awareness,
people who would have otherwise remained silent
now feel empowered to report their experiences to the AFP.
Australia is not immune to human trafficking
but we will do everything we can to protect victim–survivors,
and put offenders before the courts.”
...
Mmm...
These Are Nice Words, However
...
Commander Schneider,
Or Current Commander Reece Kershaw,
Would You Please Explain
Why, When
One
Of Those Many Victims
Comes to the Australian Federal Police,
With Evidence,
...
That The Victim Cannot Get
A Single Member Of The Police Services
To Look at the Evidence,
Or Return a Telephone Call,
Or Answer an Email,
Either at all, or
Before
They are Consistently & Illegally
Referred into the Mental Health System
Without Anyone Even Looking at the Evidence?
...
Is There A Single Member of the Australian Federal Police,
Who Is Willing to Give At Least Some Measure of
Credibility & Truth To Commander Schneider's Words:
"We will do everything we can to protect victim–survivors,
and put offenders before the courts.”.
By Returning
Even Just One
Of My Multiple Communications?
...
Why, Is No One In The AFP
Willing To Take Responsibility
For This Obviously Illegal Refusal To Act &
Weaponised Incompetence?
...
Is The Answer To These Questions,
The Most Obvious One?
...
It Is Not Difficult to See Why
Human Trafficking Is The Fastest Growing Criminal Enterprise.
...
The Truth Is Just Not Something That
Anyone Wishes To Acknowledge.
...
The Police Services Rely On The Fact That
Most People Are Not Going Look At The Evidence Themselves.
It Is Easier To Give The Police The Benefit of The Doubt.
...
For Those Who Are Willing To Look,
Please See The Clear Evidence Of My Numerous &
Completely Unsuccessful Attempts To Communicate
With The Queensland Police Service,
The New South Wales Police Service &
The Australian Federal Police
With Clear Evidence Of The Fact That I Am Being Trafficked:
...
I Have Ceased Attempting To Contact The AFP,
Despite The Fact That I Am Still Being Trafficked,
As It Is As Effective As Attempting To Get A Response From A Black Hole.
...
The Only Reasonable Interpretation Of This Evidence,
Is That The Police Services Are Covering Up &
Participating In Human Trafficking.
...
This Does Not Require Every Police Officer To Be Corrupt.
It Just Requires Every Police Officer To Follow Orders.
...
It Is Not Legal For The Police Services To
Unreasonably Refuse To Act
When They Could Reasonably Be Expected To Do So,
Especially When They Are Aware Of & Participating In
An Organised Crime & Human Trafficking Network,
Which Is Benefiting From Their Non-Action.
...
This Non-Action Amounts to Multiple Crimes,
Which Include:
Official Corruption, Abuse of Office,
Conspiring to Defeat Justice,
Refusal by Public Officer To Perform Duty,
Concealment Of Matters Affecting Liberty &
As Accessories After-The-Fact To The Crimes
Of The Other Members of the Network.
...
Is There A Member Of The Australian Federal Police
Who Is Willing To Put Their Name On The Argument That
The Increase In Convictions of Human Traffickers
from 0 in 2022 to 3 in 2023, In Australia,
Was Not An Obvious Decision By The 'Aussie Cartel"
(as it is called by the Global Index of Organised Crime)
To Let A Few 'Go Through To The Goalie',
... Just So It Isn't Quite As Obvious
That The Game is Completely Rigged &
That Human Trafficking Is Still, In Practice,
An Essentially 100% Legal,
Tax-Payer Funded &
Heavily Protected Industry
In Australia?
