Dear Mr Werner

VICTORIAN SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS 9665 OF 2007, 9263 AND 10222 OF 2008 AND 3731 AND
3766 OF 2009 : FOUR SEPARATE APPLICATIONS FOR LEGAL AID FUNDING

1. I refer to my two facsimiles of Tuesday of this week underscoring the public interest (and indeed the interest
of the Federal Government (communicated via the Hon Robert McLelland) and the Federal Opposition
(communicated via the Hon Malcolm Turnbull) in Victoria Legal Aid granting my four (at present) separate
legal aid funding applications.
2. I also refer to my first facsimile to you earlier today attaching another bundle of correspondences of 10 and
11 November 2009 further underscoring the overwhelming global, national, state and municipal public
interest grounds for Victoria Legal Aid to provide funds for all aspects of these proceedings.
3. I now attach a second set of materials further underscoring (this time from the UK media and legal
publishing sources) the overwhelming global, nationa, state and municipa public interest grounds for Victoria
Legal Aid to provide funds for all aspects of these proceedings. You can find these with one simple link on
the www. namely http://www.thecustodyminefield.com/17.html. I suggest you, or your 'so-called'
'independent' reviewer spend a day or so printing these 18 pages of media and professional reports – and
then spend a few weeks reading them all. At the very least if your agency wishes to go on pretending no
public interest – you are on clear uncontrovertible notice that your agency (and erstwhile 'independent
reviewer' have zero prospects of mounting any plausible denial of public interest.
4. In the face of all of this 'overwhelming' I look forward to receiving four approvals of legal aid funding within
the first couple of days of next week.
Regards

JAMES JOHNSON
