• The Coalition for Justice Inc supports ethical activism for positive change.

• When governments ignore activists - anarchy results - as seen e.g. in the U.K. riots.

•  Our efforts are directed into various  projects  co-ordinated by members.  Australia's out of date, out of touch legal system is one of these projects, particularly focussing on ignorance and  lack of ethics in science created injustices.

• We are currently working on the idea of a bi-annual award of $1,000 for crime writers whose work has focussed on systemic inadequacies such as out of date laws, 

• and or exposing  injustices involving non violent crimes such as fraud, corruption, child kidnapping etc. We welcome your ideas as its still in the planning stages.  

 The causes of injustice, particularly misleading, often conflicting, sometimes deliberately falsified  "expert" evidence such as DNA  evidence is one of these projects.

 

The ACCC steps in if Companies become monopolies yet ignores the self interest monopolies of professional  institutions,  Associations, and others.

 

Recommendations  that only DNA tests done by NATA registered labs (National Association of Testing Authorities) the selfinterest regulator for the DNA testing industry,    be accepted by Courts has dangerous implications to all Australians. NATA recommendations to governments and the courts are exacerbating  corruption, collusion and coverup in the DNA testing industry and the serious systemic problems with DNA as evidence. 

 

Various Judges, Law Reform inquiries, individual injustices  and academics have pointed to the fact safeguards do not prevent tampering, and do not detect tampering with forensic evidence, including DNA.  The fact is, tampering and falsifcation cannot entirely be prevented. Apart from this being confirmed by  the ALRC Genetics Inquiry tabled in Parliament 2003, simple reasoning will bring you to the same conclusion as victims.

 

Many who  naively and voluntarily agreed to DNA testing, believing it to be infallible, are finding that they cannot access DNA testing under the newer, stricter procedures.  (Highlighted by cases such as Davis, Farnell, Murdoch, Olsen, Eden, Routier  and others) Essential  information needed by lawyers relating to forensic  is often impossible because vital evidence is being refused despite the significant precedent in the Chamberlain case set by Judge Morling.    Establishing when something goes wrong, including lack of laws and processes enabling swift confirmatory DNA testing. 

 

When the wrong sample is tested in a DNA test, no technical error is detectable by ethical scientists.  Media articles show that DNA evidence is only overturned or set aside in cases where there is detectable contamination or technical error.  Other ways of obtaining a false result are illustrated by some of the cases on this site. 

 

Women claiming the wrong sample was tested in paternity tests

are also thwarted from justice because of the utter failure of regulators, scientists etc. to make the very obvious recommendation - that DNA testing on fresh samples be conducted under the tighter security and improved procedures now known to be essential in all jurisdictions but still not acknowledged by regulators.

 

 

The  naive, cruel systemic acceptance of false claims by NATA and its member labs. is illustrated by many cases available on the internet.  Some of these are accessible via our "Links" page and are added to when admin assistance is available. We are increasingly made aware of hundreds of significant problem cases where DNA as evidence was and is misleading, and the worldwide problems and suffering being caused in the justice system..

And why, if DNA as evidence is as accurate as claimed, are many who are already in jail being refused access to what may well prove  their case one way or the other?  At best, they face a long. convoluted, out of date and out of touch process, but in many cases, e.g. Shane Davis, other evidence which could support a claim that DNA evidence was misleading or downright false, is being withheld or denied.

Endless recommendations by Law Reformists, Judges academics, inquirers and most of all victims of false forensc evidence that "other evidence should be taken into account" is consistently ignored yet not seen as a basis for a re trial.   

By way of this  site, we seek your help and  ideas to raise awareness in society of the entrenched causes and cost to taxpayers of mounting injustice. Including, 

 

What could be done as regards   : 

An out of date out of touch legal system illustrated by e.g. Judge Weinberg and Professor Begaric which totally fails those who need it most  -

          Unjustifiably costly, inaccessible Courts

 

       Blind acceptance by lawyers and judges of                

DNA tests as evidence and other science created injustices.

 

More quality support for unrepresented litigants - the main victims (not the problem) of injustice.  

 

The cost as well as threat  to all taxpayers of injustice - resulting in the real criminals remaining  free including fraudsters.

 

 The way entrenched out of touch policies of self interest professional bodies such as Law Institutes,  Bar Associations and Judges  do just as much, if not more damage to the economy and therefore taxpayers as  any strike for better conditions  by Unions.

    

The serious systemic and ethical problems that science and DNA as evidence presents which lead to cruel, unnecessary and extended injustice.   Case histories illustrate the diversity of problems and media articles how common. See cases and  links.

 

Included on this  site  are reasons  a more equitable justice system generally is essential and in the interests of all Australians and the need to  tackle the roots of systemic problems, not just the branches.   

 

The site is still under construction. We invite you to send in your ideas as to what could be done to wakeup Australians to protest against the inequities and injustices happening daily in our Courts at huge cost to taxpayers to benefit the few.    Also, please email relevant articles relating to issues of injustice. Some ideas are linked below.
       

Our work includes lobbying for law reform, making submissions to Ministers and Councils based on input from members and member groups, and for  increased scrutiny and accountability  In recent times, there has been a dangerous switch from publicly scrutined Law reform and Senate inquiries where the public can make themselves heard, to loaded inquiries where experts with their own agendas are listened to and the media scantily covers the one sided outcome.  This is just one of many indications of the way  the democratic process and constiotutional rights are being trampled on.  (Further examples and the implications to you the taxpayer  at www.wakeupaustralia.org..  

To this end, we  hold public forums, hands on workshops on various issues and education by way of research at the grass roots level, co-operation with other self help groups, referrals where practical and education opportunities

A quarterly newsletter “From The Cliff Face…”  will shortly be available on line  to members.  Contributors are welcome.
