Another Open Letter To Doctor Paul – Goodbye Is Too Good A Word Doc

“You and I travel to the beat of a different drum ……… you can’t see the forest for the trees.” words written by Mike Nesmith and made famous by Linda Ronstadt who was born on this day, July 15, 1946

Dear Paul,

I offer this first draft of a letter which I suggested be given by you to me to go to the Prime Minister and which is about a large portion of my claims of human rights violations against me in Australia.

“Prime Minister,

as a newly active human rights doctor caring for Geoff Fox, who presents himself to me as the creator of Austral-Indonesian art displays in 4 Indonesian places important to four major government leaders (General Douglas MacArthur and Presidents Barak Obama, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Joko Widodo), I ask you to take seriously his claims of human rights violations by governments in Australia and their employees, including by you.

Here is a selection written by Geoff of four of his claims:

“A. In 2016 I was arrested by police and dragged through psychological hell in a family violence court as a result, to cut a long story short, of an attempt to lobby a local Labor Party councillor for memorial tree plantings.

This violated my human rights, among others, to both freedom of speech and the right to participate in government via an elected representative under Articles 19 and 21 of the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights (UDHR).

B. In 2020-2021 in Victoria I believe I was falsely imprisoned in my own home along with millions of other Victorians in the most severe Coronavirus-related lockdowns of human society in the world. I believe my suffering then and the suffering of and damage to millions of other people in Locked Down Victoria has never been properly assessed.

What was done then violated my human right, among other human rights, to freedom of movement under Article 13 of UDHR.

C. In 2022, on 9/11, at the Melbourne memorial service for Queen Elisabeth The Second (my maternal grandparents attended her coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1953 on June 2nd) I was removed by police from the forecourt of St Paul’s Cathedral while I was in attempted spiritual communion invoking Bunjil with a lone aboriginal protestor and then I was personally assaulted by police in the streets in ways that were deeply hurtful to me.

This violated my human rights, among others, to freedom of religion and freedom from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment under Articles 18 and 5 of UDHR.

D. On the 22nd of May 2024, in the Services Australia building in Footscray, the day before I was eligible for the aged pension, I had a nervous breakdown, collapsing to the floor howling out of frustration at a combination of bullying and/or incompetence from all but two or three of the staff there with whom i had had to deal over the preceding three weeks. The Services Australia response has lead to me being shut out from normal services and unable to complete the aged pension application. I am now at serious risk of homelessness as a result.

I believe this violates my human right, among others, to maintain a standard of living in old age adequate for housing under Article 25 of UDHR. I have made a formal complaint about the negligence of Anthony Albanese in this matter to the United Nations.“

‘

That is what Geoff has consistently reported to me over the course of the last three months.

It is not my job as a human rights GP to fully evaluate every detail of Geoff’s claims. They are his claims not mine. But I do have a responsibility as his GP to give him a presumption of innocence, to assess his credibility and to speak up for him if I believe that such human rights violations would damage his health and well being and to say on his behalf that he deserves a fair hearing of these claims. Under The Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, it is my responsibility to take human rights into account with every decision I make.

I believe the effect on Geoff of what he reports above has been devastating. He reports to me that he maintained midwifery registration for 30 years from 1987 to 2018. Now his deep outrage at what he reports he has experienced over nine leaves him unable to complete an aged pension application.

So I ask you, Prime Minister, to take all his above claims seriously.

sincerely,

Doctor Paul ……..”

Paul, I decide what I want you to write for me.

But you decide what, if anything, you actually put your name to.

If you cannot back me in most of what I suggest above, then I fear you cannot continue to be my GP.

To paraphrase what Bob Dylan wrote in 1962 “Goodbye’s too good a word, doc …………”

I believe there are huge pressures on you and just about all other doctors in Australia to be both apologists for systemic human rights violations against men and also to be denialists of the seriousness of Australia’s gender suicide gap.

If I am not mistaken your work as a GP is federally funded. The clinic you work in is, as I understand it, a State Health service. That clinic has Anthony Albanese’s personal political slogan in its front window. Shame on you.

But I believe that in your heart and personality you have the makings of a very good human rights GP.

In my case the following question is crucial now:

Do you agree, as a man who holds the responsibility to care about my health and well being, that all my claims of human rights violations above refer to matters that have seriously compromised my health and well being and that serious investigations of the human rights issues involved is my right?

I await your response.

All forests are formed by trees.

The World War Two Legacy Of Labor Prime Minister John Curtin – Partnership With America

In 2010 and 2020 two different Monash University surveys both ranked John Curtin the most outstanding Australian Prime Minister ever.

During World War Two, Curtin singlehandedly recast the direction of Australia’s foreign policy with four words: “Australia looks to America.” IMHO that was the single most important foundational shift moment in modern Australian history.

Also during World War Two, American General Douglas MacArthur told Curtin: “Mr. Prime Minister, you and I will see this thing through together. You take care of the rear and I will take care of the front.”

Their collaboration saved the Commonwealth of Australia from the biggest ever external threat to the nation’s sovereignty.

But now Anthony Albanese’s speech about John Curtin on July 5th is giving the impression 0f backing away from Australia’s partnership with America.

International Affairs expert Greg Sheridan writes, “Who on earth is Albanese messaging in this speech? Because it implies greater Australian strategic distance from the US, it will be welcomed in Beijing.”

Prime Minister Albanese has met Chinese Premier XI Jinping four times but is yet to meet reelected American President Donald Trump.

Will Australia become more closely aligned to totalitarian China under Anthony Albanese’s leadership or fully maintain its long held place in the Western Alliance ?

The Indispensable Companion Animal Of A Homeless Woman

As a marginalised man who was a midwife for thirty years, I am in awe at the astonishing beauty of one homeless woman’s mystical, intuitive intelligence and the wonderful, loving presence in her life of her companion dog.

But it is getting harder and harder for this pet owner to pay her dog’s escalating health care costs.

The lady tells that some homeless people deliberately use drugs to get more services.

Anthony Albanese, what are you going to do about this?

Open Letter To My Cohealth Doctor

“My best friend my doctor won’t even say what it is I’ve got.” – Bob Dylan, 1965

Dear Paul,

I believe that you should be able to answer YES in our meeting tomorrow morning to the following four questions or at least some of them..

A. Do you still believe that what has happened to me with respect to my aged pension application is something that “should not happen”. ( Your words on the topic on April 9?)

B. Do you recognise that the police assault on my person and human rights on 9/11/2022 was massively traumatic to me?

C. Do you recognise demonization of men as a serious problem in Australian society and a likely contributing factor to the gender suicide gap?

sincerely

Open Letter To Major Brendan Nottle and Colonel Winsome Merrett

Dear Major Nottle and Colonel Merrett,

both in the name of The Lord whose love and care for us are beyond our mortal powers of comprehension and as a victim of a unique combination of bullying, human rights violations and assault perpetrated by some Labor Party people and some government employees at all levels of government in Australia, I am deeply hurt and offended by the partisan political slogan of the current Labor Prime Minister brightly displayed in the front window of your Bourke St temple.

It is supposed to be a house of God.

Anthony Albanese’s governing mantra “No One Held Back And No One Left Behind” is not true in Australia.

You only need to look at the faces of the people you feed to know that.

Many many of the dispossessed aboriginal people whose culture is constantly appropriated by other people for their own purposes are left behind.

Isolated single mothers are left behind.

Male victims of sexist discrimination and misandrist demonisation are left behind.

The 8 or more people, on average, who commit suicide every day in Australia and their grief stricken loved ones are left behind.

So I, as a 68 year old currently deprived of the aged pension for thirteen months by Services Australia bullying and incompetence (about nine months of this suffering was caused by negligence and indifference of more than one person in your temple building), ask you to take immediate action to stop your taxpayer funded tenant from displaying a partisan political slogan in your building’s street front window.

It hurts me to see this false God of politics being your face to the world.

Please have it covered or removed ASAP.

Albanese Politics Poisoning Health Care In A Christian Temple Supported By Collingwood Football Club

On 25/06/2022, 3 years ago today, the Guardian newspaper described No One Held Back and No One Left Behind as the “governing mantra” of Anthony Albanese.

In the May 3rd 2025 election, 45% of voters rejected Albanese’s politics.

So what is his slogan doing in the front window of a public health service housed in a temple?

I will tell you what it does for me as a marginalised man of faith seeking care and fairness in that building:

It disgusts me.

Open Letter To Anthony Albanese – Stop Ignoring The Gender Suicide Gap

Anthony Albanese,

Pay attention to my truth.

As the grandson of a celebrity chef, Clarissa Fox, and of two distinguished theologians, Professor AC Fox and the Right Reverend JR Blanchard, as a man who was a Registered Midwife for 30 years, as the creator of 4 head-of-government-significant art displays in the fourth biggest country in the world crucial to Australia’s future and as a man in poverty and denied the aged pension for a year because of two unaccountable female bullies and one cold emotionally incompetent man at Services Australia, I say to you:

It is time that you recognise the existence of the Gender Suicide Gap.

I believe that you lead a political party that systemically persecutes Australian men contributing massively to a gender suicide gap in round figures of about four male deaths every single day. But the climate of fear that Labor governments have created makes it hard for good people to come forward and state obvious truths.

But not everybody is silent about everything.

I quote from the website of Senator Anne Ruston this year:

“ANTHONY ALBANESE’S SHAMEFUL BROKEN PROMISE ON SUICIDE PREVENTION

(Wednesday 30 April 2025)

Suicide Prevention Australia has today released a damning report that shows Anthony Albanese has failed in his promise to make suicide prevention a ‘personal priority.’ “

That is a disgrace.

I demand that you stand up against the demonization of men in this country.

Anthony Albanese, your Labor Party governments disgust me.

Their systemic misandry is evil. It has ruined my life in Australia.

Three quarters of suicides are male.

Your governments have dead men’s blood on their hands.

Shame on you.

Geoff Fox, June 12th (revised June 18), 2025, Melbourne, Australia

Tomorrow, Friday The Thirteenth, The International Association for Suicide Prevention 33rd World Congress takes place in Vienna.

I pray that God, courage and the spirit of truth will guide their work.

How many people in Australia is Anthony Albanese leaving behind?

Last year, on May 22nd, because of three weeks of stupidity and bullying from most but not all of the staff at the Services Australia office in Foostcray, I had a nervous breakdown in the office and collapsed to the floor howling in agony.

The Services Australia response to my distress was to shut me out.

I remain shut out from normal services to this day.

As a result I have not received the Aged Pension to which I am entitled and which I need to survive and maintain a home in Australia.

When I complained about this to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s office, I was fobbed off.

So, last November, I made a formal human rights complaint to the Office Of The High Commissioner For Human Rights (OHCHR) of the United Nations against Albanese because I had no chance of redress in Australia at that time.

This year on May the Third, the night of his federal election victory, Anthony Albanese said, “……. together, we are turning the corner and together we will make our way forward with no-one held back and no-one left behind.”

This is patently untrue with respect to me and, I am certain, with respect to many other people. I consider it a lie.

To rub salt into the wound, Albanese’s political slogan of May Third is displayed on the widow of the clinic of my new GP, who strikes me as a very kind and decent man who is trying, as best he can, to help me through this mess of things that just should not happen.

This website exists to call out Albanese’s political lie. His dishonesty makes him totally unfit to be Prime Minister in my eyes.

While I await the lengthy process of getting a result from the OHCHR, I am establishing this website to both tell my own story and allow some other people with similar stories to be heard too.

The Truth will set us free.

Geoff Fox,
