House of Representatives Committees – Parliament of Australia
Within the professional defence analysts’ community, Air Power Australia is also respected; both for the robust and rigorous analytical skills demonstrated and professionally, as well as for the accurate assessments published on the Air Power Australia website. The website is used as a reference source by many military, strategy & intelligence, and security establishments.
The independent analytical techniques employed by the domain experts of Air Power Australia and the results they produce are well understood within this community, as is their importance and value to the needs of the community and those who depend on their expertise.
However, as a result of appearing before and providing evidence to your Parliamentary Defence
Oversight Committee, we find ourselves, both professionally and personally, the subjects of baseless
criticisms, derisive assertions and multiple abuses, not to mention defamatory pronouncements, on a
grand scale and of the most damaging kind. These draw upon the Parliamentary processes we
engaged in, at your Committee’s request, and, in turn, bring these same processes and the
Parliament, itself, into disrepute.
We observe similar if not the same quite inappropriate behaviours and abuses have been directed
towards our professional colleagues at REPSIM Pty Ltd.
If private citizens who seek what is right and what is best for the defence and security of Australia are
to be treated this way, then Australia and its Parliamentary processes are at risk of serious jeopardy.
In keeping with the words of our Prime Minister, “. . .a line has been crossed about respect for the
Parliament of Australia”.
Please advise what remedies are available to the Parliament and ourselves to address such
behaviours and obtain redress for the damages these have and continue to cause.
