May have been a Railway Detective prior to joining the NSW Police Force.

Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1931 – 1954),

Tuesday 22 May 1951, page 12

RAIL POLICE RAID HOUSES

Railway detectives yesterday recovered more than £1000 worth of goods allegedly stolen recently from the railways.

They recovered the goods in a raid on a house in Park Avenue, Pagewood.

Later they seized more goods in a raid on a house in Erskineville.

Detective Bert James, of the C.I.B., Railway detective A. R. Whittaker and five other railway detectives made the raids.

They raided the house in Pagewood when they saw a man drive an empty truck into the premises. They found the living-room stacked high with carpets, tyres, arid men’s sports coats.

The carpets included 12 wall-to-wall carpets and about 100 yards of carpet runner.

In the raid at Erskineville the detectives arrested a man carrying a sugar bag. The sugar bag contained 12 dozen new spoons and a quantity of men’s sand shoes.

Later, at Daceyville Police Station, the detectives charged a young married woman with having had in her custody goods suspected of being stolen.

At Central Police Station they laid similar charges against the woman’s three brothers.

The Hon P. J. BREEN:

The Hon. J. W. SHAW:

I do not know, and therefore cannot comment on, what information the police may or may not have given to Channel 7 in relation to this contentious litigation. I simply want to stay completely away from that. I reiterate the point I endeavoured to make yesterday, namely that honourable members ought to be circumspect about commenting on pending litigations in the Supreme Court. Obviously, there are some very hard-fought issues between Mr Marsden and Channel 7 that the judge will need to adjudicate upon. I myself am cautious about making any comments about the matter, and I think all members ought to be cautious. I believe that the honourable member is correct in suggesting that this allegation of a police cover-up was dealt with by the police royal commission. However, I would not want to go further than that.

Former Police Superintendent Robin Small

About this Item
Speakers	Nile Reverend The Hon Fred
Business	Adjournment, ADJ

FORMER POLICE SUPERINTENDENT ROBIN SMALL

Reverend the Hon. F. J. NILE [6.07 p.m.]: In May 1994 serious allegations relating to the supply and use of Indian hemp and other drugs were made by citizens against Mr John Marsden, who at that time was a member of the police board. Mr Marsden received preferential treatment in the investigation of this matter in that the execution of the search warrant was delayed and executed only after he became aware that a police investigation was under way. Obviously, nothing was found in the search. Shortly after this the officer who headed the investigation, Superintendent Bob Small of Kings Cross, was transferred in highly unusual circumstances.

In an internal document in September 1994 Mr Small challenged the reason for his transfer. He claimed that the reasons advanced were untrue and that a confidential conversation with senior police –

Page 3542
in which confidence was guaranteed but was later broken – was used to his detriment. To Mr Small’s knowledge there was never an inquiry of any sort into his allegations. In order to publicly air the subject, in December 1994 Mr Small spoke to the Hon. Deirdre Grusovin, the honourable member for Heffron, and informed her of the matters and the circumstances surrounding the favoured treatment of Mr Marsden. In January 1995, by document handed to senior police, Mr Small voluntarily brought to the notice of the Police Service that he had unlawfully handed police documents to the Hon. Deirdre Grusovin relating to the Marsden investigation.

The Hon. R. S. L. Jones: On a point of order. Reverend the Hon. F. J. Nile is raising a number of police matters. I earnestly urge him to ensure he does not endanger any police investigations.

The DEPUTY-PRESIDENT (The Hon. D. J. Gay): Order! No point of order is involved. I am sure the honourable member will take due notice.

Reverend the Hon. F. J. NILE: In addition, Mr Small complained about the failure of the Police Service to properly handle his complaint of September 1994, and also about the favoured and preferential treatment given to Mr Marsden. As a result Mr Small was informed that a complaint was registered against him for supplying the documents to Mrs Grusovin. In February 1995, apparently as a result of his January disclosure, Mr Small was interviewed by a senior police officer in relation to this matter. At the close of the interview Mr Small was informed that by bringing his allegations to light he was regarded as an internal informant. Several days later Mr Small was informed that the royal commission would take over the investigation.

The Hon. P. T. Primrose: On a point of order. Is the honourable member reading from a publicly available document?

The DEPUTY-PRESIDENT: Order! No point of order is involved.

Reverend the Hon. F. J. NILE: Absolutely not. That is the purpose of bringing it to the attention of the House. In late 1996 the royal commission obtained some written information from Mr Small about the matter. More than three years have passed since Mr Small fairly and squarely made his complaints against the Police Service. Why has not the Police Service contacted Mr Small about his status as an internal informant? Why has not the Police Service and/or the Ombudsman’s office contacted Mr Small about his complaints against the Police Service? Why has not the Police Service and/or the Ombudsman’s office contacted Mr Small about the complaint registered against Mr Small?

Why was Mr Small put through the trauma of waiting from February 1995 until his retirement in May 1997 without ever, even to this date, being told the result of the complaint registered against him? Given the miserable failure of the Police Service and/or the Ombudsman’s office to competently, credibly and promptly investigate these suspicious events surrounding the investigation into serious drug allegations by Mr Marsden, the equally suspicious transfer of Mr Small and the failure of the Police Service internal informants policy, are the Premier, the Minister for Police or the Attorney General prepared to refer these issues to the Independent Commission Against Corruption so that a full investigation and examination can be made?

Minister ‘ interfering ‘ with NRMA

The president of the NRMA has criticised a federal minister for endorsing an ” action group ” against the present NRMA leadership.

The Minister for Land Transport, Bob Brown, has endorsed publicly the Motorists’ Action Group, headed by the NSW cricket captain, Geoff Lawson, and a former

TV journalist, Jane Singleton.

The NRMA president, Jim Millner, accused Mr Brown yesterday of using his position ” to interfere . . . in the election procedures of a private organisation “.

With 2 million NRMA members in NSW, the council election next month is the biggest poll in NSW after the state election.

Thirteen candidates are standing for the six council posts. Traditionally, existing councillors have been re-elected, but this year the six member Motorists’ Action Group is making a concerted bid.

Other members of the group include the Mayor of Bathurst, Ann Ashwood, and a retired assistant Police Commissioner, Ted Bunt. Former swimming champion Dawn Fraser is running on her own ticket.

An executive of the ACT branch said incumbent councillors tended to get re-elected because very few members voted.

Resident questions council rate figures

SAM NORRIS
13 Nov 2013, 4 a.m.

Maitland City Council has been called out on the maths behind a rate increase worth millions.

A pamphlet outlining the extent of potential rate rises has landed in letter boxes across Maitland and Doug Preston, for one, has questioned the full impact.

“The figures are very rubbery and something stinks,” Mr Preston said.

The average urban residential rates notice, based on a $148,000 land valuation, would climb 8.94 per cent annually from $986.54 to $1796.32 – an 82 per cent cumulative increase. Not 62 per cent as council has published.

Council defended the difference as a matter of reporting methods.

“Council acknowledges there are different views as to how the percentage increases should be expressed,” council’s acting general manager Bernie Mortomore said in a statement to the Mercury.

“Council has been active in distributing as much information as possible on both the increase proposed and the services to be provided by council over the period.”

The pamphlet is part of council’s community consultation, which includes 10am and 6pm public meetings today at the town hall, on proposed rate increases.

The rate rise would affect business, farming and residential landholders, with successive increases over seven years starting in July 2014.

Mr Preston estimated the increase would likely hit ratepayers even harder when the Valuer-General reviewed property values in 2014 and 2017.

“Even if it’s a conservative 3 per cent it will add about $100 a year and the end result will be more like $2000,” he said.

The proposed rate increase is the product of surveys to gauge what services residents wanted and what they were prepared to pay as council faced a $92 million deficit within 10 years.

“I don’t agree with council’s argument that rates must increase,” Mr Preston said.

But council said it had worked hard to communicate the proposed increases clearly.

“Council has been active in distributing as much information as possible on both the increase proposed and the services to be provided by council over the period,” Mr Mortomore said

Patients mortgaging homes to pay for life-saving drugs

June 23, 2013 8:00am

PATIENTS in Eastern Europe and even poverty stricken Greece and Italy are getting access to lifesaving medicines ahead of people in Australia, who in some cases are being forced to remortgage their homes to afford the costly treatments.

As critical government subsidies are refused or delayed in Federal Cabinet, two pharmaceutical companies have dramatically decided they won’t reapply for a subsidy after being knocked back up to seven times.

Lowest number of drugs placed on PBS in 20 years

Their decision has left patients who need the life-extending melanoma treatment Zelboraf facing a $9,400 a month bill for treatment.

Meanwhile, the small number of people with the rare Pompe’s Disease which impairs muscle function and reduces life expectancy are expected to afford $400,000 a year for the treatment Myozyme.

And other crucial medicines which have been approved for subsidy by an independent expert government committee are months later still waiting for cabinet to approve the funding.

Former policeman Doug Preston risked death if he waited for Cabinet to approve subsidy for his $3,500 a month prostate cancer treatment Zytiga. He had to remortgage his house to find the money.

“If I hadn’t done that I would have got past the no return point, my back would have decayed, my legs would have crumbled, I would be bed bound and waiting for death,” he said, explaining that he has a new lease of life since he started the drug.

Zytiga was approved for subsidy by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee in March, July and November 2012 but the drug company was initially unhappy with the price it was being offered, delaying the subsidy approval.

A new anti-clotting medicine Pradxa was approved for subsidy two years ago and then again in March but 100,000 stroke patients who could benefit from it are still waiting for cabinet to fund it.

Under an agreement the government has with the medicines industry it has six months to approve a medicine if it is approved for subsidy and a price agreement is reached with the company.

The knock-backs and delays come as a study commissioned by pharmaceutical lobby group Medicines Australia found last month that the number of new medicines placed on the nation’s drug subsidy scheme was the lowest in 20 years in 2011-12.

Just 15 new medicines were added to the scheme that year, 40 per cent fewer than the 20-year average of 25 new drugs a year, the Centre for Strategic Economic Studies found.

Many Australians get free access to breakthrough new drugs through clinical trials but the number of new clinical trials approved in Australia is also down 30 per cent in the past six years.

Medicines Australia chief Brendan Shaw says patients waiting for cabinet to approve funding for their medicines are now worried the caretaker period where government ceases entering contracts during the election may further delay subsidies.

Medical Oncology Group of Australia chair Professor Gary Richardson says Australia’s drug approval system is out of date a needs to be reviewed.

“We are now falling behind Eastern European countries with the availability of medicines,” he said.

Drugs should be reimbursed earlier and monitored for five years after which their performance and price should be reassessed, he said.

Dr Shaw says the pharmaceutical industry wants all parties to agree after the election to a new framework for approving medicine subsidies that will speed up the process and provide certainty.
