Stephen Carew-Reid, during the 1980's and 1990's  while fighting serious and endemic corruption in the Western Australian Legal, Political, Public Trustee, Police, Prosecution, Judicial, Court and business system, he took over ownership the 100 year old Western Australian newspaper masthead, the Weekend News, which had been closed by the Western Australian Newspaper Group because Bob Baxt, the then head of chairman of the Trade Practices Commission (now the ACCC),
in the late 1980's and early 1990's told the Western Australian Newspaper Group that it could no longer own both the morning newspaper, The West Australian, and the afternoon newspaper, The Daily News and the other weekend paper, which was the Friday Edition of the Daily News, originally known as the Weekend News.  This was Bob Baxt, considered this a monopoly in the print media based on Western Australia. For many years since then, the owners of the Western Australian Newspaper Group, billionaire businessman Robert Homes a Court, who sold to the Western Australian Newspaper Group to controversial famous billionaire businessman Allan Bond, had the Western Australian Newspaper Group warehouse the Daily News and the Weekend News, by having a friendly businessman run these newspapers for them, falsely pretending that the Daily and Weekend News had been sold. When in fact it they had not been sold, and Robert Homes-a-Court and Allan Bond paid business friends to run these two newspapers for them. In fact Allan Bond lent Brian Coppin $10 million on a loan that never was paid back to warehouse the Daily and Weekend News for Allan Bind, and deliberately run them at a loss each year so  it would look like the second and third newspapers are not making money, to frighten anyone from thinking about starting another newspaper in Western Australia. This help preserve the over $200 million the Western Australian Newspaper Group has historically made each year from the six day a week West Australian morning newspaper.

Bob Baxt. Robert Baxt AO (27 June 1938 – 11 March 2018) was an Australian lawyer and a chairman of the Trade Practices Commission (now the ACCC), dean of law at Monash University and a professorial fellow of the University of Melbourne

Stephen Carew-Reid created the cartoon Charcters

Mr Wijat

 and His Team,

ERF The Worm,

Al Wijat 

and

  Marvin The Marvelous

 were created by Stephen Carew-Reid, to publicise in cartoon form, the serious corruption Stephen Carew-Reid was fighting in Western Australia, in the Australian Weekend News. Stephen Carew-Reid renamed The Weekend News to the Australian Weekend News, to make the newspaper into an Australia Wide Newspaper published in all states of Australia, rather than just Western Australia as it had been for over 100 years, before the Western Australian Newspaper Group wrongly and fraudulently closed it and put thousands of journalists and other workers out of work.

This was done before Stephen Carew-Reid wrote and the books
 "Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?).

Many of these editions of the Weekend News have been recorded and kept in the archive at the Western Australian Alexander Resource Library..the same library that purchased all seven volumes of about 500 pages each of  "Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?), which the powerful high powered lawyers and barristers, working for the Western Australian Crown Law Department without any court order or official authority or any court action being taken against Stephen Carew-Reid, one day came into the Western Australian Alexander Resource Library, off the record, and demanded to the library that these books be destroyed in the shredder and taken off the library computer, so that it would appear that they never ever existed in the first place..

The plan by the Western Australian authorities and the powerful judges, magistrates, business people, lawyers and barristers, senior public trustee employees, senior public prosecutors, senior court staff, senior police and others, was to either have Stephen Carew-Reid murdered and/or sent to Graylands Mental Institution and declared permanently insane and then have him die of an accidental overdose of drugs one night in the mental institution.

In 1996 when Stephen Carew-Reid was writing his first volumes of Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?) while in hiding in the Eastern States of Australia, in fear of his life … after a number of attempts by corrupt elements in the Western Australian, Federal Police, the legal, court, political, public trustee, business circles of Perth, Western Australia … the Western Australia Government brought in a new act of parliament specialificly as a way of dealing with Stephen Carew-Reid ..  titled  “The Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Defendants) Act 1996 (WA), which does not place limits on the period of custody orders for persons detained after being found not mentally fit to stand trial by Government Doctors, who can be told by the Western Australian Government to maske up a false delisional disorder of people like Stephen Carew-Reid, who have unending evidence in his books entitles the Triumph of Truth (Who Is Watching The Watchers?) of endemic corruption in the legal, police, court and political system of Western Australia .

“The Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Defendants) Act 1996 (WA),
does not provide for any process of review. The person such as Stephen Carew-Reid can be detained at the ‘Governor’s pleasure.
See:

https://www.lawsocietywa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Law-Society-Briefing-Papers-Mentally-Impaired-Accused.pdf

 The stark reality of the way the “The Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Defendants) Act 1996 (WA) works, is that a defendant who is arrested for a false trumped up criminal charge, and wants a trial date and his or her day in court to prove his or her innocence, who is alleging serious corruption by the police, the prosecution, the courts, the legal system and/or the government … can be refused to be given a trial date by the presiding magistrate or judge... and instead can be sent to Graylands Mental Hospital for Western Australian Government Doctors to decide if he or she is fit to stand trial,  and can be held indefinitely in  Graylands Mental Hospital .. without even beign brought back to the court to have his or her day in court for an open public trial .... and thus can never have an opportunity to prove his or her innocence  … as the Law Society of Western Australia states .. a defendant can legally be detained at the “ Governor’s Pleasure” indefinitely..

For example, Marlon Noble was charged in 2001 with sexual assault offences that were never proven because he was never fit to be tried. He spent 10 years in gaol before the allegations were shown to have no substance. Rosie Anne Fulton was held in Kalgoorlie prison for over 18 months charged with crimes related to a motor vehicle. She was found unfit to stand trial due to her cognitive impairment, and was held in a Kalgoorlie prison because there was no other suitable accommodation available.

Indefinite sentences The Sentencing Act 1995 (WA), section 984 provides for indeterminate sentences. In Chester v The Queen, 5 referring to s662(a) of the Criminal Code (the predecessor to the current provision), the High Court in a joint judgement said: the stark and extraordinary nature of punishment by way of indeterminate detention, the term of which is determinable by executive, not by judicial decision, requires that the sentencing judge be clearly satisfied by cogent evidence that the convicted person is a constant danger to the community”.

 Robert Lindsay points out that – Section 98 of the Sentencing Act, 1995 (WA) continued the same “stark and extraordinary nature of punishment” without judicial review being available at the instigation of a prisoner (unlike all other states). The Sentence Administration Act 2003 (WA) states that even where the Parole Board recommends release, there is no obligation upon the Minister to advise the Governor in Executive Council to release;

 that the rules of natural justice, including the duty of procedural fairness, do not apply to acts of the Governor, the Minister or the Prisoners Review Power Board under the relevant parts of the legislation;

 and that there is no requirement for reasons for a decision on parole eligibility to be given to a person serving a term of indefinite imprisonment.

 Preventative detention should have the following features identified by Deane J in Veen (No2):

 such a statutory system (of preventive restraint) could, one would hope, avoid the disadvantages of indeterminate prison sentences by being based on periodic orders for continuing detention in an institution other than a gaol and provide a guarantee of regular and thorough review by psychiatric and other experts. The courts will impede rather than assist the introduction of such an acceptable system if, by disregarding the limits of conventional notions of punishment, they assume a power to impose preventive indeterminate gaol sentences in a context which lacks the proper safeguards which an adequate statutory system must provide and in which, where no non-parole period is fixed, the remaining hope of future release ultimately lies not in the judgement of experts but in the exercise of a ministerial discretion to which political considerations would seem to be relevant. I say ‘by disregarding the limits of conventional notions of punishment’ for the reason that to increase a sentence of imprisonment by reason of a propensity, flowing from abnormality of mind, to commit further offences is to punish a person for that abnormality of mind and not for what he has done. As Lindsay points out:

 The West Australian legislation, unlike other states, has none of the features Deane J refers to. Indefinite term orders, under s662(a) of the Criminal Code and now s98 of the Sentence  Administration Act 1995 (WA), are not subject to statutory safeguards nor periodic orders for continuing detention; these laws do not allow for detention in an institution other than a gaol; nor is there a guarantee of regular and thorough review by psychiatric and other experts; and these laws do depend on the exercise of a ministerial discretion, untrammelled by any statutory power of judicial review, to which political consideration would seem to be relevant.

Proposed reforms Determination of unfitness Laws and legal frameworks affecting people involved in court proceedings in Western Australia should be reformed to reflect the National Decision-Making Principles proposed by the Australian Law Reform Commission13 (set out in the Appendix) and to facilitate Australia’s compliance with art 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (CRPD).14 The criteria for unfitness should focus on the defendant’s ability to make rational decisions in order for a person to effectively participate in a trial. It is noted that the test is R v Presser of the ‘ability to challenge jurors’ incorporates an ability to both rationally understand and exercise that right. Insofar as rational decision-making is retained in the criteria for unfitness, it should adopt the approach of the Law Commission of England and Wales, in its 2010 Consultation Paper, Unfitness to Plead, which provides that a defendant should be found unfit to stand trial if he or she is unable:

• to understand the information relevant to the decisions that he or she will have to make in the course of his or her trial, • to retain that information, • to use or weigh that information as part of decision making process, or

• to communicate his or her decisions.15 There are combinations of factors that impair a person’s decision-making ability in the context of navigating through criminal proceedings, including people with low literacy and numeracy skills, people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including indigenous peoples etc. It is important that mechanisms are implemented to ensure that defendants who would otherwise be determined to be unfit to stand trial are provided with adequate supports16 to be able to stand trial for the following reasons:

• to ensure that innocent people are not pleading guilty (or being advised to plead guilty) in order to avoid the consequences of unfitness;17 and • defendants, found unfit to stand trial, who are placed on supervision orders are unable to have their supervision orders revoked because they continue to breach the conditions of the order.18 Limits on detention The Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Defendants) Act 1996 (WA) should be amended to place limits on the period of custody orders for persons detained after being found not mentally fit to stand trial.

The period of detention should not exceed the period which a court determines the individual would have been detained if convicted, bearing in mind all the circumstances which the court would have taken into account in sentencing the individual. The Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Defendants) Act 1996 (WA) should be amended to provide that a custody order must not be made unless the statutory penalty for the alleged offence includes imprisonment or detention. Such an order should not be permitted to run for longer than the alleged offences, if proved, would justify.19 The Courts should be empowered to regularly conduct a periodic review of detention orders, for defendants deemed unfit to stand trial ideally every six months20 or automatically every two years.21 Sections 16(5) and 19(4) of the Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Defendants) Act 1996 (WA) should be amended to enable a court to make a supervision release order for a person deemed unfit to stand trial; and regularly review such orders. Such supervision should include support programmes and supervision in a safe, therapeutic environment, rather than detention.22

APPENDIX Australian Law Reform Commission National Decision-Making Principles 1. Every adult has the right to make decisions that affect their life and to have those decisions respected. 2. Persons who may require support in decision making must be provided with the support necessary for them to make, communicate and participate in decisions that affect their lives. 3. The will, preferences and rights of persons who may require decision-making support must direct decisions that affect their lives. 4. Decisions, arrangements and interventions for persons who may require decision-making support must respect their human rights.

 
That way Stephen Carew-Reid would not be around to complain and/or 
bring to the attention of the world  that his books
 "Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?)
have been decreated out of existence from the Western Australia State Library.
So that Stephen Carew-Reid and his seven volumes of
 "Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?)
would never be heard of again....
This devious plan backfired on the powerful people Stephen Carew-Reid exposed in his books
 "Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?)
when a corrupt judge Justice Williams, who had been on the payroll of the most powerful, feared and dangerous billionaire businessman in Western Australia, Leonard Walter Buckeridge for years, (in fact is was through the influence of Leonard Walter Buckeridge that Justice Williams became a judge), during a court hearing, Justice Williams as part of the conspiracy to destroy Stephen Carew-Reid,  sent Stephen Carew-Reid down for mental assessment to the Graylands Mental Institution in Perth, Western Australia for 14 days in the hope that the doctors there would declare Stephen Carew-Reid insane. However, the doctors gave Stephen Carew-Reid a certificate that said he was sane, even though suffering from severe stress of all these court battles with these powerful people..
Since then Stephen Carew-Reid has had many threats on his life if  he ever attempted to make further copies of  his books

"Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?)

Daily News (Perth, Western Australia)

Origins

One of the early newspapers of the Western Australian colony was The Inquirer, established by Francis Lochee and William Tanner on 5 August 1840. Lochee became sole proprietor and editor in 1843 until May 1847 when he sold the operation to the paper's former compositor Edmund Stirling.

In July 1855, The Inquirer acquired the recently established Commercial News and Shipping Gazette owned by J R Sholl. The papers were merged and renamed to the Inquirer and Commercial News which ran as a weekly until 28 June 1901 under joint ownership of Stirling and Sholl. Sholl departed and, from April 1873, the paper was produced by Stirling and his three sons, John, Fred and Horace, trading as Stirling & Sons. Edmund Stirling retired five years later and the three sons took control as Stirling Bros.

The Stirling Bros launched the Daily News in July 1882 and, in 1901, the Inquirer and Commercial News was incorporated into the single publication known as the Daily News.

A Saturday edition was published as the Weekend News and the "Weekend Magazine" of the Daily News was later incorporated into The West Australian.

Later years

Competition from television evening news resulted in losses in circulation and eventual cessation of most Australian afternoon newspapers. The Daily News came to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of West Australian Newspapers (WAN), formerly itself a subsidiary of the Melbourne-based Herald and Weekly Times organisation. In the late 1980s, WAN was acquired by the ill-fated Bond Corporation's subsidiary the Bell Group. On 2 May, 1990,^[2] British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell's UK-based Mirror Group bought 14.9 per cent of Bell from the group's managing director, Mr David Aspinall. However, the deal did not proceed, being opposed by the federal government under its media foreign ownership policy.^[3][4]. The WA Inc state government was activated to legislate to retrospectively place the Daily News beyond the decision of the (federal) Trade Practices Commission—a move which the Opposition condemned as prejudicial to Commonwealth-State relations.^[5]The paper was then defunct and in receivership, owing over $15 million, mainly to The West Australian for production costs. Maxwell's bizarre death by drowning occurred on 1 November, 1991.

WAN was the subject of a successful stock-market float in 1992 following closure of the Daily News.

Continuance of the Daily and Weekend News under the new name Australian Weekend News

The was a continuance of the Daily and Weekend News by Stephen Carew-Reid, under the new name the Australian Weekend News Newspaper Masthead (commonly known as the AWN), which was originally published as part of the the Daily-Weekend News published in Perth Western Australia, being a well known newspaper that has it origins traceable back to 1940,then known as The Inquirer, established by Francis Lochee and William Tanner on 5 August 1840.See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_News_(Perth,_Western_Australia) The Australian Weekend News (AWN) was originally known as the Weekend News, that was the Friday and weekend edition of the Daily News that was published on the Streets of Perth Western Australia Fiday lunchtime, unlike all other weekend newspapers around Australia, that were not availbale on the streets till Saturday morning,compiled in Western Australia's capital city of Perth. The Stirling Bros launched the Daily News in July 1882 and, in 1901, the Inquirer and Commercial News was incorporated into the single publication known as the Daily News and as such can be considered as Perth Western Australia's first newspaper. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_News_(Perth,_Western_Australia). The well known author, Stephen Carew Reid, whose home town is Perth Western Australia, the author of seven volumes of the book series called Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?) see: http://www.whoiswatchingthewatchers.com ,published in the late 1980's to expose the corruption he had been fighting for a decade in the legal, political, police, public trustee and business world of Western Australia, managed to obtain the Weekend News newspaper masthead when "The Daily News-Weekend News was mothballed in the early 1990s by the then owners of the West Australian Newspaper Group (WAN), because a former Trade Practices Commissioner, Bob Baxt, told them that it was a monopoly to control both newspapers. But instead of selling this valuable asset to an independent operator, WAN ran up millions of dollars worth of bills and put it into liquidation."[[See:http://inlnews.com/AustWeekendNews2001.html]> Stephen Carew-Reid then proceeded to republish the Weekend News under the new name "Australian Weekend News", abrieviated to "AWN", described by Stephen Carew-Reid the following way, "The Australian Weekend News will provide a reasonably priced alternative, that will be owned by the Australian people." See: http://inlnews.com/AustWeekendNews2001.html, which featured "a cartoon series staring Mr Wijat and Mr Wijat's Team Fighting For Truth Justice and the Australian Way up against The Monster Gang."See:http://www.whoiswatchingthewatchers.com/Journal.html "Mr Wijat and Mr Wijat's Team and the Monster Gang are the cartoon characters created by the author Stephen Carew-Reid that resemble some of the real characters in the series of books "Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?" See:http://www.whoiswatchingthewatchers.com/Journal.htmlStephen Carew-Reid had all his powerful enemies against him trying to stop him from continuing with the publication and expansion of the Australia Weekend News. Many of these enemies he had exposed in his series of books called Triumph of Truth (Who's Watching The Watchers?,) as well, he had the rich established powerful media groups in Australia against him the did not want him to succeed because it would greatly reduce the value and profits of their existing newspaper that had a combined value of over $30 billion on the Australian and world stock exchanges, and in particular the powerful Western Australian Newspaper Holdings Ltd (with the West Australian newspaper masthead valued by the stock market at about $3 billion), that continued to publish Western Australia's second oldest newspaper The West Australian. "The West Australian (often simply called The West) is the only locally-edited daily newspaper published in Perth, Western Australia, and is owned by ASX-listed West Australian Newspapers Holdings Ltd (ASX: WAN). The West is published in tabloid format, as is the state's other major newspaper, The Sunday Times, a News Limited publication. It is the second-oldest continuously-produced newspaper in Australia, having been published since 1833. The West is politically populist, with strong conservative leanings. It was described by former Prime Minister of Australia Paul Keating as the worst newspaper in Australia.[citation needed]"See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_West_Australian.

Australian Weekend News Collectors Editions in the Western Australian Alexander Resource Library

For many years Stephen Carew-Reid continued to publish what he called "Australian Weekend News -AWN-Collectors Editions" which the Western Australian State Reference Library, The State Library of Western Australia known as the Alexander Resource Library [[Se: http://www.slwa.wa.gov.au/ also see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Library_Building also see:, encouraged Stephen Carew-Reid to continue with publishing weekly editions of the Australian Weekend News featuring Mr Wijat and His Team consisting of ERF The Worm, Al Wijat ( Mr Wijat's Super Hero Son) and Marvin The Marvellous. The Western Australia's Alexander Resource Library hold copies of most of these editions. "The Alexander Library was established in 1955, in a rented house in West Perth, with five staff and 15,000 books, serving the three country libraries of York Donnybrook and Moora.

Today the library board (operating as the library and information service of Western Australia) has 267 staff and a total of 2.2 million volumes in the public library building. It provides reference and information services from the Alexander Library building and serves 230 public libraries. The Alexander Library's facilities include a modern, air-conditioned facilities and plenty of comfortable seating. There is a large stock of reference books and magazines as well as records for listening to, music scores for borrowing and a piano room to try the music scores out. Other materials at the library include newspapers from around the world, film and videos for loan to community groups or for viewing in the library, Western Australian history (including photographs, oral history and archives), and maps and atlases. There are computer catalogues to assist you to find the information you want," See: http://www.totaltravel.com.au/travel/wa/pertharea/perth/shops/books-video-photos/alexander-library-3/details/.

Formation of the Australian Weekend News Publishing Group to continue to publish the Australian Weekend News (AWN)

Stephen Carew-Reid eventually obtained financial partners which included other family members such as his bother Lloyd Carew-Reid who became famous for his fight for justice for the down trodden New Yorker See:http://inlnews.com/Lloyd_Carew-Reid_Justice.html and http://www.whoiswatchingthewatchers.com/Journal.html and his famous artist-potter sister Pippen Drysdale See:http://inlnews.com/PippenDrysdale_FineArts.html, to help him form the Australian Weekend News Publishing Group, "Australian Weekend News Publishing Group registered at 1707 L 17 Australia Square Tower 264 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000"See:http://www.hotfrog.com.au/Companies/Australian-Weekend-News-Publishing-Group Due to the large expense of publishing and distributing a newspaper in hard copy, in 2001 the AWN was created into an internet newspaper under various domain names over the years including www.inlnews.net,www.australianweekendnews.com, www.australianweekendnews.com.au andwww.awn.bz.

Control of the Australian Weekend News taken over by International News Limited(INL) and aims of the AWN

In 2004 the control of the Australian Weekend News Publishing Group was taken over by International News Limited originally an Australian company formed by a group of investors keen to support an independent news media group that was based around Stephen Carew-Reid's original charter and aims of the AWN Publishing Group, being " 1.To establish a financially strong mainstream worldwide people's media group listed on the stock exchange, which can compete with other media on a fair and equitable basis. 2.To have more than one million subscribers. 3. To allow subscribers to have a say in the running of the Australian Weekend News. 4. To provide financial assistance, advice and work opportunities to subscribers. 5. To provide an alternative workplace for journalists and others who work or want to work in the media industry. 6. To provide a truly independent public voice. 7.To provide quality, interesting and colourful news content. 8. To provide assistance in publishing of articles, books and journals where other publishers have refused to assist. 9. To provide legal assistance to subscriber shareholders. 10. To provide affordable advertising to subscribers. See:http://inlnews.com/AustWeekendNews2001.html. The aim of the investors behind the formation of International News Limited was for form a financially strong independent media group that is there to support the aforementioned aims, rather than for profit motive of the investors that would be grow into a financially strong and well publicly supported media group that is there for the average person that would keep good investigative journalism alive, as an alternative to another Australian Rupert Murdoch who controls the most powerful media groups in the world called News Limited that has been described by one of Rupert Murdochs outspoken critics media scholar Robert W. McChesney, who launched www.FreePress.net with the help of journalist John Nichols and executive director Josh Silver, in late 2002 by media scholar Robert W. McChesney,critics at www.freepress.net as just been interested in junk journalism for the pure greed and profit motive. See:Rupert Murdoch just bought the Wall Street Journal=//www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf8Gi3SwfxY.

Approach to Rupert Murdoch & News Limited by Stephen Carew-Reid to partner in the AWN

In 1996 Stephen Carew-Reid had a venture capital broker approach Rupert Murdoch at News Limited's office in Sydney to ask if News Limited wished to invest $2,000,000 into the Australian Weekend News Publishing Group for 20% of the shares to help fund the expansion of the Australian Weekend News (AWN) into a financially solid newspaper published in each state in Australia on Friday afternoon, (as the original Weekend News had been published on Friday at lunchtime, rather that Saturday morning giving readers the chance to see what was happen for the weekend on Friday rather than Saturday) as an alternative Australian weekend newspaper to all the other weekend state newspapers that were published in each state on Saturday morning. Rupert Murdoch and News Limited's answer was to threaten Stephen Carew-Reid and his Australian Weekend News Publishing Group with Federal and Supreme Court writs to try and stop them using the name "Australian", in front of the name Weekend News. Rupert Murdoch and News Limited's argument was that they had established the Australian Newspaper, being the only Australia wide newspaper with general news and they called their weekend edition The Australian (Weekend Edition).

However, Stephen Carew-Reid had the name registered in Australia for some time Australian Weekend News as a business and company name and had been publishing the Australian Weekend News Collectors Editions since 1986. Stephen Carew-Reid's response to these legal threats from News Limited, a 300 billion dollar company being one of the largest media companies in the world with very deep pockets, that had unlimited money for the best and most expensive legal council money can buy, was to fax a draft copy of the next edition of the Australian Weekend News, with a headline and story entitled "Rupert Murdoch and his News Limited company sues Mr Wijat's Australian Weekend News over the right to use Australian as part of the Australian Weekend News Masthead".

Stephen Carew-Reid also requested that the lawyers work over night to prepare the writs for collection by Stephen Carew-Reid the next morning. There was never any further response from Blake Dawson and Waldron, solicitors(now known as http://www.blakedawson.com/) for News Limited that made the threats for and on behalf of News Limited, and Stephen Carew-Reid, Mr Wijat, the Australian Weekend News, the Australian Weekend News Publishing Group have never heard from News Limited, Rupert Murdoch, News Limited or any of their solicitors or representative since that day.Johnreid09 (talk) 18:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
