    Hi I have just had a case on a frivoulous traffic matter to the tune of $700. I have sweated for 5 months and wanted to test the constitutional stuff.
    I have writen up my court experience on my site and a link from clrg in the hope my experience is useful, particularly to new comers who feel a great injustice. Those who have been through the gristle mill need to mentor new comers to refine the approach to the court and build on the experience. If we don’t do this then I feel we are all wasting our time and just feeding egos. So yes it is vital to have a blog space for all of us to write up our experiences and record what we said and the response of the magistrates. etc. And yes for those logged on to the site, it is possible to select which topics to be notified on, and it would be good to know about who has a case on so that support can be rallied if required.
    I found it very frustrating that no where could I tap into the experience of others to refine my approach. I flew blind pretty much and learnt alot, but some things I could have been told about if we had a support base in place. Saves alot of stress.
    AQs a group we now have alot of experience but sadly noi one is documenting their ecperiences. Tens of thousands of Victorians are being ripped off and feel a great injustice and police lie so much to lay a ticket on some one. we can be an activist group and we can make a difference if we have a plan and a strategy. If we don’t set objectives then we wont get far on what ever level. The sad reality is the rot is so deep but with the voice of thousands maybe we can correct a few wrongs. Let us hope so.

    Hi Everyone,

    All the information you require regarding unjust speeding and parking fines can be found in the e-book produced by “Aussie Speeding Fines” at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com.

    Their methods DO work and I successfully took Hume City Council to court over a pitiful parking fine. (See ‘Testimonials’ on their website). It cost Hume Council HEAPS! (This is good use of the ‘Constitutional stuff’).

    Regards,
    Alan.

    Hi Ian,
    I agree.
    I have been summoned to court over unpaid council rates & have 21 days to prepare my defence & not sure where to start & would love to hear from anyone who has had success in winning in court in not having to pay illegal rates to a fictious council that is not even recognised by Robert McClelland – Attorney General.
    Please email me at lihu74@gmail.com if anyone can help me.
    Cheers,
    Lin

    Without a legal qualification we are fighting traffic fines at courts without success, even if the courts wins are unlawful. I suggest that all victims of the trffic fines mafia would offer the fine amount to a qualified person, who would act on our behind. So the ‘offender’ would loose the money but not the demerit points. And this must lead to a victory in the long term.

    i believe a topical discussion forum would be excellent including make accessible to non members via password or something.

    Also having attended your forums and meetings etc I believe it would be fruitful if a letter could be sent from CLRG to new attorney general
    as regards restoring the Community Legal Centres’ criteria/funding to what it was when Jan Wade was A.g. ie Clearly pro bono legal services are overloaded especially since the bush fires and now exacerbated by flood victims. (In my personal view) PILCH not operating as efficiently or effectively as they could.. many CLRG supporters are quite capable of running their case if (as used to be the case) they could get help with appropriate law research and some advocacy/liaison, including if requested or needed a barrister. This used to be possible via community legal centres. An example is that experts and other witnesses are rarely willing to liaise direct with a self represented litigant and a Community Legal Centre, given the funding and resources could do this without actually having to fully take on a case or find a solicitor.. Many cases in the Courts seem to be dismissed or fail on procedural grounds rather than evidence. and barristers seem unable or unwilling to have the time to help put the case together. Would be inteested in hearing your views

    Many solicitors are over worked. They may have as many as 100 files to go through on their desk on most days and it just reduces the quality of their focus. A self litigant has only one case to study (maybe two) and has all the time in the world to make sure his work is good. Some times, self litigants get it right and lawyers suffer defeat at the hands of the common man in court. With a forum system to go to, self litigants may be helped but also run the risk of confusion due to conflicting opinions they read. A forum needs to be for those who are able to help and those who need help, not those who want everyone to think they are clever.
    Moderation would need to be strict and astute! Cheers.

    can i suggest that we have an updated working and topical discussion page, as well as links to other similar sites within Australia like http://www.truthology.org.au (and OS if relevant) with details of success and failures available, so that we can conduct as much meaningful DD ourselves prior to taking on the establishment and better our position with each attempt.

    The truth is out there….. we just have to know where to look!

    I would like to see you branch out to family law, as a lot of parents cannot afford solicitors, thus the system takes full advantage of there rights. I would like to see how you fight back using common law, keeping costs down and also keeping family law honest.
