Good Afternoon, and Welcome to a quality smuggled.com website

FROM THE BOOK – VICTORIA POLICE CORRUPTION: http://www.smuggled.com/vrb2.htm

(PUBLISHED IN JULY 1999)

Raymond Hoser was born in the U.K. in 1962 and came to Australia in 1967. He is presently married with a daughter. He grew up and studied in Sydney. From the age of four, he kept reptiles as pets and began his research into these animals early, publishing many scientific papers in journals worldwide from the age of thirteen. He is now internationally regarded as an authority on Australian reptiles, having published over 140 papers.

His books, Australian Reptiles and Frogs and Endangered Animals of Australia are extremely detailed and regarded as definitive works in their fields.

Following his allegations of official corruption in State wildlife authorities, in the 1970's Raymond's reptile facilities were broken into on several occasions by the named wildlife officials. Reptiles, computer disks, files, camera equipment and other valuables, were stolen.

Most of the author's claims regarding corruption have since been vindicated by other independent sources. Officials named by him as being corrupt, have since been removed from their positions.

Smuggled was Raymond's first corruption book. Following it's release in 1993, it soon became widely accepted as the new benchmark in terms of investigative books about corruption within Australia. It was an instant best-seller. Smuggled and it's sequel, Smuggled-2, published in October 1996 represents a summary of Raymond's search for the truth in the area of wildlife trafficking and associated crime in Australia.

His book, The Hoser Files - The Fight Against Entrenched Official Corruption first published in 1995, followed this trend and is widely regarded as the precursor of a notably increased media attention to the problem of Police corruption in Victoria. That book once and for all shattered the myth perpetuated by successive Victorian Governments that their Police Force was the cleanest in the country.

Victoria Police Corruption and Victoria Police Corruption - 2 (published at the same time), expose further corruption and like Raymond's three previous corruption books will probably be unlawfully banned shortly after release by the named officials in a desperate attempt to prevent the public from knowing what really goes on. Raymond regards exposing corruption as being the necessary first step in solving the problem.

He now accepts that being vilified by officials in positions of power comes as a result of exposing corruption.

How did Raymond Hoser get involved in writing books about corruption, etc?
How did he get to where he is today?

THE FATE OF AN ANTI-CORRUPTION WHISTLEBLOWER ...

If you blow the lid on corruption in Australia, you will be harassed and falsely charged by corrupt officials and Police in an attempt to discredit you. This is standard practice. An abridged chronology of some of the harassment and lies used to try to silence Australia's foremost corruption whistleblower Raymond Hoser, is detailed below.

SOME KEY DATES – AN ABRIDGED CHRONOLOGY.
(The earlier (pre 1995) incidents are covered detail in The Hoser Files).

1976: Raymond Hoser makes allegations of corruption in NSW Wildlife authority (NPWS) and police.

1977-8: Allegations continue. Hoser has high media profile including on all TV networks and front pages of major Sydney newspapers.

25 August 1981: A very large front page article appears in the Australian featuring Hoser’s photo and his indisputable evidence of high-level corruption in NSW Wildlife Department and Police.

September 1981: In retaliation to the above news article, the first of many criminal charges are laid against Hoser. Charges had been falsified. Case thrown out of court on 8 April 1982. Promise made to throw more dirt at Hoser until it sticks.

28 June 1982: First ‘criminal’ conviction against Raymond Hoser. The beginning of the Police dirt file to be used against him to falsely discredit him as corruption whistleblower. The alleged offence was failing to pay a $75 police fine for allegedly failing to stop at a traffic sign.

1982-5: Further falsified NSW Police charges followed. Throw enough mud and some will stick. Police convictions since discredited by S/C Duncan Demol at NSW Wood Royal Commission on 4 July 1995 (refer to Commission transcript and documents).

10 July 1984: Wildlife officers and Police conduct illegal armed raid on Hoser’s Sydney house. Steal documents and reptiles. Trashed place.

September 1985: Clive Jones (of NPWS/NSW) visits Hoser and his father and tells Hoser to move interstate for at least two years of be killed, (refer to Smuggled and Smuggled-2 for details of multiple homicides linked to NPWS).

20 October 1985: Hoser moves to Melbourne.

9 November 1985: Hoser commences full-time taxi driving (first shift). Continued for ten years excluding September 1989-August 1991.

1986: Hoser has falling out with Road Traffic Authority (RTA) officers over multiple hiring and lobbying over driver safety matters.

1987-1997: Multiple charges fabricated against Hoser by RTA and police. Most easily demonstrated as fabricated in Court (refer to The Hoser Files for details). Many not listed here.

28 August 1987: Hoser takes fare evader Phillipa O’Shannessy to St. Kilda police station. Policeman Ross Bingley refuses to charge her.

October 1987: Hoser starts using micro-cassette recorders. All key conversations with police, Vicroads and other officials from here on taped. To attempt to hide the truth, Vicroads officers and Police attempt to stop being recorded by Hoser at all times, but themselves adopt the same practice. For obvious reasons their tapes are never volunteered in court cases.

7-8 November 1990: Kew bashing trial. Hoser convicted and fined on all counts by Magistrate Iain Treloar West. Prior to hearing and on West’s orders, Police undressed Hoser in court to ensure no tapes made of the hearing. In spite of this the matter was still covertly taped (see below).

29 November 1990: David Robby is covertly taped committing perjury at Broadmeadows court. Following a formal complaint an attempt is instead made to have Hoser charged with contempt of court for making the tape. Robby is not charged.

Immediately following trial, Ashton attacks Hoser outside court and threatens to kill him (3rd assault). Again there were witnesses and tape recordings. This time a bystander had taken photos of the assault in action.

12-19 March 1991: Kew bashing convictions overturned. Police and their rent-a-witnesses, including protected criminal, Brett David Winduss (a child molester) were shown to have changed evidence at second case based on covertly made tapes of first. Police in turn found guilty of assaulting Hoser and fabricating charges against him. Ombudsman and IID refuse to act on basis Hoser’s complaint now ‘too old’.

7 May 1991: Ashton charged by Hoser over third assault.

26 June 1991: David O’Sullivan senior bureaucrat at Vicroads says everyone in his department ‘wants to fucking screw you’. In other taped conversations between 1991 and 1993 he confirms his department is corrupt and will continue to falsify charges against Hoser until he is jailed.

31 December 1993: National newspapers run with news story based solely on NPWS media release and without checking facts (see below).

11January 1994: Hoser beats another of many traffic charges in court. Police officers Terrence West, Grant Roy Beasley, Glen Matthew Owen and Aaron Jay Wood taped committing perjury. In line with common practice magistrate Brian Clothier and Police refuse to charge the officers. There are many other cases like this.

17 January 1994: Clerk Glynnis Jackson posts Hoser her own hand-written letters re the County Court ‘Abandonment of Appeal’ forms. She says the licence suspensions are still not in force.

24 January 1994: Hoser sends to Vicroads two identical letters inquiring re malfunctioning traffic lights at Coburg and City.

17 January - 6 April 1994 (exact date uncertain): Vicroads officials in conjunction with clerks of the Melbourne County Court unlawfully access Hoser abandonment of appeal document at County Court and alter it, thereby backdating it by 20 days. This is then used as a basis to generate a huge swag of other false documents that formed the key basis of the Goodson charge.

18 February 1994: Hoser house raided by police. Carloads of material taken including tapes of Balmford hearing and all relevant documents.

15 April 1994: Police brief-of-evidence against Hoser re Balmford alleged perjury matter. Police brief hinges on ‘fact’ there is no recording made of Hoser’s evidence in front of Balmford. This is central to their case. Several witnesses to be called solely to confirm no tapes had been made, thereby making it a simple case of their word against Hoser’s, unverifiable by independent means such as a tape.

2 May 1994: Keating (Police) says he won’t proceed with perjury matter unless Hoser is represented.

10 October 1994: Keating (Police) returned a large suitcase full of tapes including originals of the Balmford matter (both days). On oath Keating admitted to having copied it. This included the 28 minutes of Hoser evidence in front of Balmford which proved no perjury by Hoser on 17 February 1994.

13 October 1994: Magistrate Jacinta Heffey commits Hoser to stand trial for perjury. She had upheld Keating’s request not to play the tape made at Balmford’s proceedings at her hearing on the basis that Keating had left it back at his office.

24-25 October 1994: Magistrate Brian Barrow convicts Hoser on Goodson matters (except the assault charge). Perjury by Goodson and others was openly taped. No complaint lodged.

8 November 1994: Magistrate John Hutchins in violation of common law strikes out assault charges against Warner without hearing evidence – proceeds against Hoser.

9 November 1994: Hutchins refuses to convict Hoser of assault. Hutchins directs Hoser to re-instate charges against Warner.

1 June 1995: The Hoser Files was officially launched. Pre-publication sales in May of about 1,000 copies. Reported widely in local media.
