Dear Mr Werner

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

1. I refer to previous correspondences (the last in the chain being my facsmile of 30 October 2009 to Ms
Kusznir's attention) in respect of my 4 pending applications for legal aid funding relating to these fraud and
corruption proceedings, being the 4 applications all being grossly mismanaged by you and your staff.

2. I attach for your informations a copy of a shameful message I received late last week from the Honourable
Member for Wentworth, Federal Opposition Leader Mr Malcolm Turnbull. Mr Turnbull's staff have attempted
to pass on a message to me from the Federal Attorney-General the Hon Robert McClelland MP. Alas, they
forgot to enclose the enclosure – an oversight that I am following up.

3. I also attach copies of my media releases of October and November this year.

4. Finally I note that Legal Aid Victoria's sibling entity, the (Victorian) Legal Practitioners Liability (EVASION)
committee [excuse my drole wit] has thus far been willing to spend in the order of $1.5M out of an unlimited
Government purse, funding 4 city law firms and 4 city barristers for the purposes of making 4 grossly
abusive, vexatious and oppressively premature ejection applications [again, excuse my drole wit] over some
40 weeks whilst your statutory entity has been making excuses that my claims, on greater par than the law-
changing House of Lords decision in the AJ Mitchell & Sons [2000 House of Lords decision], lacks “public
interest”.
5. All of these notes, the note from the Leader of the Opposition [presumably reinforced by the missing note
from the Federal Attorney-General to the Leader of the Opposition], the wild and free spending conduct of
the Legal Practitioners Liability [Evasion] Committee and the damning facts contained in my media releases
and attachments [House of Reps Hansard, newspaper reports] all demonstrate QUO ED DEMONSTRATUM
the international, national and State public interest in these proceedings, actuated and contemplated, that
warrant Victoria Legal Aid funding.

6. I shall send you by separate facsmile a copy of my September Section 35 Notice under the Charter of
Human Rights and Responsiblities Act which again underscores Legal Aid Victoria's, and indeed Mr
Werner's and Ms Kuznir's and the entire Victoria Legal Aid board's legal obligations to stop jerking around to
protect private vested interests and grant these funding applications EX POSTE HASTE.

Regards

JAMES JOHNSON
