She refuses to do so and has done for a couple of years now. Neither Ruth Harley not the Screen Australia Board has felt it important to ask Fiona to release (or at least identify) the correspondence. <br /><br />The same applies for the correspondence of mine that supposedly places Screen Australia staff at risk. Have asked Ruth many times to identify even one phrase that places SA staff at risk. She refuses to do so. I have also said (many times) that if I get adequate answers the matter will be dropped. If I am guilty of the crimes I have been accused of I owe SA staff an apology, at the very least. And if I am not guilty, SA owes me an apology. Simple, but either resolution requires evidence and none has been forthcoming. SA seems to wish to argue in the Supreme Court that ALL of my correspondence has been intimidating, harassing and of the kind that places SA staff at risk.<br /><br />See my latest blog entry for latest chapter in this ongoing farce. Yes, it is a farce and it is one that could have been brought to a conclusion based n facts and not spin a long long time ago if the very questions you are suggesting I ask (and have) were answered when they were first asked.James Ricketsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366597246927581660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711474060981003322.post-85036607810876229012012-07-25T19:44:15.861-07:002012-07-25T19:44:15.861-07:00The rest of your career?

Like Tony Robbins, but for real people. <br /><br />Next go to your local member, and make friends with their staff. DO NOT go on and on about the history - you just want two things released to clear the public record. Make an appointment. Be very very well-behaved. Keep only to these points. Do not get sidetracked. Do not try to get them to understand the history. You want their help to get two things cleared up. That's all. <br /><br />1. You want to know "What is the correspondence to which Fiona refers?" That is all. <br /><br />Find the single sentence in Fiona's early correspondence to you that refers to correspondence on file that you say does not exist. That's all you take from the file, nothing else. <br /><br />2. You want Ruth to specify exactly the risk that your correspondence creates for staff.<br /><br />Provide a copy of Ruth's letter saying "your correspondence places our staff at risk" Face it, James, she's referring to your correspondence as a whole, not to specific letters. <br /><br />And tell them that if they can help you get straightforward answers just to those two questions, that'll be an end of it. <br /><br />Don't tell them about the blog, or the history, just ask if they will Please, please, help you write a letter to Minister Crean that will get an answer to these two questions. <br /><br />try to win yourself a friend.juliannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711474060981003322.post-9547708405405627582012-07-17T13:41:35.556-07:002012-07-17T13:41:35.556-07:00A waste of time going through the Statement of Cla...A waste of time going through the Statement of Claim process but interesting also to discover that you can do so with no legal representation and that the Court can accommodate amateurs such as myself. Necessary to go through the process. If not, for the rest of my career, it will be on file that I have intimidated, harassed and placed at risk members of Screen Australia staff. In a few years time Harley, Cameron and the rest will be gone but the files will remain and no-one, in 2015, is going to be interested in whether Harley's allegations were true or not. And nor will a new lot of senior film bureaucrats be interested in hearing from me that the allegations were false and why should they be? After all, the Screen Australia Board voted to ban me and they would not have done so without a solid case, right? If I were a senior bureaucrat in 2015 and had to deal with a filmmaker who had a reputation for placing Screen Australia staff at risk I would also be very cautious and probably eager to get him/her out the door as quickly as possible.James Ricketsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366597246927581660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711474060981003322.post-31502771067505406802012-07-17T01:29:29.516-07:002012-07-17T01:29:29.516-07:00Shit, Ricketson!
