Good Afternoon Your Honour, Mr Silvio Camilleri, Mr Robert Mangion and Mr Owen Bonnici (Justice Minister of Malta)

Here in this formal document I would like to place my requests for a maintenance order that I have already attempted to place with the Family Courts of Malta, to no avail. I would like permission to represent myself in all courts of law and mark this request for Spousal Maintenance - Section 72 FLA – URGENT.

Right of a Spouse to Maintenance - Section 72 FLA:

  • (1) A party to a marriage is liable to maintain the other party, to the extent that the first-mentioned party is reasonably able to do so, if, and only if, that other party is unable to support herself or himself adequately whether:

by reason of having the care and control of a child of the marriage who has not attained the age of 18 years;

by reason of age or physical or mental incapacity for appropriate gainful employment; or

for any other adequate reason;

  • having regard to any relevant matter referred to in subsection 75(2).

The aim is to balance the needs of the applicant against the respondent's ability to pay.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION and JUSTIFICATION:

Despite my 15 odd years of business related experience, having worked in four different industries from customer service front line staff to people management, I have not been successful in gaining employment to adequately support myself here in Malta, since my arrival; a community at large that’s too busy playing favourites. One dishwashing job offered in October of 2013, that I could not complete in the first shift due to hip pain arising from marital violence that my husband subjected me to; and only one other, a cleaning job finally offered on the 14th of July, 2015 (just yesterday), which I did not apply for after searching endlessly for employment since separation from my husband, however, it would not suffice and as a result I had to decline for the following reasons:

‘…the pay rate is a little low (in-adequate) and I don’t think the hours are going to be sufficient to cover the costs I need to pay in order to put my life back together especially after suffering several breaches to my human rights since separation from my Maltese husband, including but not limited to discrimination based on age, race, sex and marital status - a particle system that is stale, still in practice and fails to support female independence, breeding a culture of injustice; a system that has supported my husband’s violence towards me very well, however, for me it simply does not work. To prevent me from my cultural practices and expect me to conform to female suppression in this underdeveloped country would be a clear breach of my Fundamental Rights as an EU National under Chapter 3, Article 22...’ I would be more interested in finding ways to work together by way of mutual respect, where it does not under any circumstances compromise my right to a fair go – The Australian Way.

The international human rights movement was strengthened when the United Nations General Assembly adopted of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948. Drafted as ‘a common standard of achievement for all peoples and nations', the Declaration for the first time in human history spell out basic civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all human beings should enjoy.

International human rights law lays down obligations which States are bound to respect… States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights. The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights.

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS:

The universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted and proclaimed by the General Assembly as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, who shall thrive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among, the peoples of member states themselves and among the peoples of the territories under their jurisdiction.

Forty-eight states voted in favour of the Declaration, none against, with eight abstentions… ‘a step forward in the great evolutionary process’, said the President of the General Assembly.

Article 1 of each Covenant states that the right to self-determination is universal and calls upon States to promote the realization of that right and to respect it.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of oneness.

This article thus defines the basic assumptions of the Declaration: that the right to liberty and equality is our birth-right and cannot be alienated.

Article 2, which states out the basic principle of equality and non-discrimination, as regards to the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms, forbids ‘distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status’.

The economic, social and cultural rights recognized in articles 22 and 27 include the right to social security; the right to work; the right to equal pay for equal work; the right to rest and leisure; the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being; the right to education; and the right to participate in the cultural life of the community.

The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against women has stated that the perpetrator’s rights cannot supersede the victim’s HUMAN RIGHT to life and to physical and mental integrity.

The European court of Human Rights has established that states have a duty to protect the enjoyment of the right to life under Article 2, the right not to be subjected to torture and ill-treatment under Article 3 and the right to family life under Article 8; the duty to protect applies also where a private individual commits the actual breach.

When authorities fail to take appropriate action to protect the lives of the innocent, mainly women and children, in cases of domestic violence, they are affectively in breach of the convention;;; it must take measures in order to prevent its occurrence.

Gender based violence against women may breach provisions of the convention, regardless of whether those provisions expressly mention violence.

The council of Europe’s European Committee of Social Rights has stated that Article 16 of the European Social Charter on the right of the family to social, legal and economic protection applies to all forms of Domestic Violence and that state parties are obligated to adopt measures to protect women from domestic violence, both in law and in practice.

Furthermore, The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union enshrines certain political, social, and economic rights for European Union (EU) citizens and residents into EU Law; the following, which I have provided ‘true’ examples for, I believe have been breached (against me).

• Chapter 1, Article 1, the right to human dignity:

Tuesday morning, 14th of July, 2015, Jemma, the Assistant Manger from Costa Coffee in the Bay Street Shopping Complex refused to serve me. She said (while I was standing at her counter asking for hot water only), ‘I’m not giong to serve you anymore when you come here in future…’

I asserted myself and asked for a reasonable explanation and she stared making false accusaitons of a conversation I never even had with her (during my last visit) to justify her unreasonable behaviour;;; and then went as far as so to blow cigarette smoke in my face, provoking me in the presence of her male staff member on duty (who openly did not agree with her un-provoked conduct);;; she blew smoke in my face after I asked for her name to file formal complaints to upper management in head office for her poor service standards and offensive behaviours. I informed her quite politely of my intentions to complain via the correct channels, as to why I wanted her name that she tried to refuse me – her name badge was not worn during busines hours at this point in time. This is the second incident of it’s kind from the same person at the same Costa Coffee Location in Paceville (Malta). The first incident was a clear breach of my human right to water – as set in articles 22 and 27 of the Declaration – the right of a standard of living adequate for health and well-being…

It was a hot day and being homeless, I had no choice but to sleep in the sun. I woke up dehydrated and blistered from severe sun burn running down both arms. The public toilets, which are normally open by the beach in Paceville were shut for cleaning and the adjoining restaurant was packed with customers to the front door waiting to be seated and could not serve me. I was dry reaching and my mouth had no saliva left so I raced over to Costa Coffe at Bay Street Shopping Complex and asked Jemma, (the same assistant manager, as mentioned above) for a cup of tap water, briefly explainig my desperation. She blatently refused and sent me away stating that it was not her problem; I asked her for a resonable explanation. Then she started making up excuises for not allowing me tap water free of charge, which I’m sure head office would disapprove of her doing so. I kept calm, despite being on the verge of collapse because I was dehydrating and went on to inform her that I’ve had water from that same tap several times in the past and have suffered no health issues what so ever – just incase she might have been concerned. When she started making false accusations with regards to my conduct, then I realised that her behavior was not out of genuine concern but simply an abuse of power of position, an assistant manager who acts like the director – it is simply not her professional possition, nor her right to deny me water free of charge from the tap when I was clearly dehydrating. If I am demanding tap water in a country that warns it’s not drinable (because of a basic human need to well being, at a time when I can not afford to purchase it), then I am drinking it at my own risk and it not anyone place who has it available, to deny me. Before walking away I infomed her that she’s in breach of my human rights to well being and as a result, she does not deserve her position and shouldn’t even be working for such a reputable international company, as she has just spolied their service standards. She didn’t care because her position is secure.

• Chapter 1, Article 3, the right to integrity of a person:

The Senior Social Worker at the Housing Authority, upon disclosing the levels of domestic abuse my husband subjected me to, told me that it’s all in my head; which is the worst thing you can tell someone who is experiencing abuse and trying to seek support. I waked out of her office thinking to myself, ‘whose side is she on???’

She failed to take appropriate action to protect me and to treat me with dignity and respect and failed to support my application for housing with her employer who is the Housing Authority (…after informing me that the refuges are all full); for me to continue my occupancy at 109 Conception Street in Msida; for the opportunity to sleep securely behind a closed door, in respect of my Human Rights to Safety and Enjoyment of life; and therefore, is in breach of the convention.

FEBRUARY 2014 – POST EVICTION:

I endured homelessness for a few weeks in winter and went hungry until I gave in to my husband plea’s to reconcile, dating (by way of marriage) the abuse all over again; not wishing a life on the streets for myself.

I figured that Domestic Violence is better than Homelessness and by returning to my husband, I effectively put him back in the position of control, abusing his power of position with his family over me, who we lived with – blood is thicker. The infidelity continued (by his own admissions), which came with a private apology upon reconciliation and the promise to start a new and refrain from the same abusive, addictive behaviours. I believed him!

• Chapter 1, Article 4, prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment of punishment:

A security guard, an old, small, grey haired Maltese man employed by JF Security for The Westin Hotel/Resort in Paceville not only shooed me away from a public access area neighbouring the said hotel that I was resting in, which was not his right (resting under my sun-umbrella to prevent my skin from burning), nor was it his right to confiscate my sun umbrella. He then began to defame me in the presence of hotel guests watching on, making the same false accusations that my husband has been circulating of prostitution and drug offenses – none of which I am guilty of, calling me a tramp like a twelve year old spoilt boy with a chip on his shoulder, and added that I deserve to sleep outside like an animal.

It later occurred to me that my husband also worked for JF Security when he was employed by the Commissioner of Refugee’s and is believed to be well acquainted with this man in question, whose Identity I intend to release once he’s required to take the witness stand, should he be called. He has pursued to stalk me via harassment thereafter, following me down the road in Paceville with his white car (on a different day) name calling me of a degrading nature and telling me to go back to my country (Australia) and get out of his;;; which only in retaliation I stuck my middle finger at him, telling him that his penis where his brain lives, is no bigger than the tip of my middle finger.

• Chapter 2, Article 6, right to liberty and security:

The Housing Authority rejected my urgent application twice for housing and therefore, refused me the opportunity to be housed in a property that my husband and I once occupied; to sleep securely behind a locked door; a house that was still vacant and perfectly liveable contrary to their claims of there being something wrong with the water.

My appeal to this day is unanswered and I am still homeless, as a result of a system that was flexible only when I (as an Australian married to my Maltese husband) was living with him – we were together; my application as a person enduring separation from him, failed. A letter from my legal representative (as attached) was available to them at the time of my application for independent housing, confirming separation was in process, but without my husband by my side it still wasn’t good enough it seemed.

While seeking their assistance for housing with my husband, we didn’t even require identification after discovering my husband was Maltese Born and were given the option between two vacant premises and the keys, handed to us the same day. Is this a case of one rule for the Maltese born and another for everyone else?

• Chapter 2, Article 9, the right to marry and found a family:

My husband proposed to me with the intention to go to Australia married at the end of 2013 (calculating three months after marriage). We attended an appointment with the Marriage Registry in Malta to set a date, who refused us after finding out that I am 16 years older than him. The lady processing our application, Ms Fiona Vella, refused me the opportunity to set a date to get married in Malta to my husband, Bradley Agius. She turned to him and asked him if he knows my age and if he is consenting to this; I couldn’t understand why on earth we would go as far as to attend the Marriage Registry if my husband didn’t know what he was doing, I mean getting married so soon was his idea and age is the first thing that is normally disclosed upon dating. She was also acting suspicious after receiving a phone call pre-warning of a previous marriage that is supposedly still, using one excuse after the other for not wanting to formalise a date to proceed; a warning that was being passed around from one office to the next with regards to a marriage that was still supposedly valid in Australia that I knew nothing about – it was the first time I heard of it???

The same claims that the GOZO POLICE were later making and tried to arrest me for; the same accusations that came out of his mother’s mouth, who at the time, we were not even speaking to. It was Marisa from the Ministry of Social Solidarity that was in communication with my husband’s mother before she (my mother in law) took it upon herself to assault me in the middle of Paceville streets, hurling out loud the same false accusation in consistent with Gozo Police and the suspicions of Fiona Vella, from the marriage registry. His mother was yelling out that the police have a warrant for my arrest, that I am supposedly wanted for charges of bigamy; ‘stop her, stop her’… and all this, right after she physically assaulted me by punching me in the face and later in the stomach. My husband sent a supporting letter describing the turn of such events to the Police Head Quarters; however, I decided not to press charges. My husband later asked me, ‘why didn’t you hit her back, you’re a black belt and a club champion no doubt?’ I replied with, ‘babe, your mother has health issues with blood clots and if one races to her brain in shock of my one punch to her mini-brain, it doesn’t matter how much she’s provoked me, it’s me that will have to answer to the police and medical authorities… and she could die.’ ‘But it’s her fault,’ he said, ‘then we’ll complain through correct channels if you’re willing to be honest and to be honest baby, someone who behaves like that is not deserving of my time…’ I continued, ‘that’s the same reason I don’t hit you back, but this bullshit baby with you and your family has got to stop because I didn’t do anything to any of you to deserve it, and even if I did, there is no excuse good enough for abuse, I mean what ever happened to using your words?’ Once again he replied with, ‘this is Malta’, and I said, ‘no baby, this is abuse and it’s just not good enough!’ His mother during the ordeal also mentioned that Marisa from the Ministry of Social Solidarity, has been in communication with her, keeping her up to date on our situation; which I believe was a negligent breach of our right to privacy and caused his mother to confront us in such a way.

In Australia my identification was stolen by a man of Indian decent, Jasper Singh, who tried to bribe me into marriage with a $10,000 engagement ring for the purpose of Australian Citizenship - he was struggling to get his permanency at the time because he could not pass his competency test – which in the presence of both my children, I declined and told him to donate his money to the homeless instead. This marriage was not consented by me and NEVER TOOK PLACE; this man however, was suspected of colluding with the brother of a police officer that I blew the whistle on for sexual assault (who later lost his job…), who was believed to be employed with The Federal Police Force of Australia. Once separated from my children, authorities not only tried to use Mr Singh to give false testimony against me but also did everything in their power to prevent me from communication with my children, who would effectively give their evidence in the court of law that this relationship did not eventuate (and therefore, how can the marriage have possibly taken place on legal terms); after the trauma of separation, my children were held as protected witnesses, effectively preventing them from giving their evidence in The Australian Family Courts; and because they weren’t there to have their say, it was free-range for corrupt authorities who prevailed in the court of law to remove my children form my care – I couldn’t possibly contend with their credibility, despite my innocence.

I was wondering if she talks to everyone like that and even my husband was very surprised telling me, ‘this is Malta’ and I would always answer with, ‘so what babe, there’s no excuse, we all know the difference between right and wrong’. My husband was of a consenting age and even before marriage in Cyprus, I gave him ample opportunities to bail out and change his mind – he said he loves me and wanted to go ahead and he knew exactly what he was doing – if there is something my husband does better than me, it’s calculation.

Within the first week of meeting him, I told Bradley everything about me holding nothing back, from my two children (which he was very surprised, as he mentioned there was no physical evidence of it naked – so I showed him my caesarean scar to prove it) to police corruption, including the childhood abuse that I suffered in my mother’s care and the turn of events that led to my arrival in Malta, and he said he was fine with it, ‘he doesn’t care’.

After much struggle to get approval to marry in Malta, which was not granted, my husband and I decided to elope in Cyprus instead and it was awesome because neither of us are very romantic and both enjoyed each other company in a country that welcomed us both as equals and respected our right to marry. Cyprus only expected us to abide by the rules and produce documents to meet their criteria which we did. My husband willingly paid for it all, calculating a life in Australia by the end of the 2013.

I did on several occasions encourage my husband to wait at least 12 months prior to marriage and at one point we had this conversation in front of his mother; to (a) get to know each other better and (b) to give me the opportunity to gain work and split the costs, a 5000Eur bill, which he insisted on paying for; when Bradley wants something, he gets it, that’s what his mother taught him as a child in her care. I a mother, am against spoiling children because they grow into very selfish adults (when spoilt in childhood) and then they have to learn the hard that the world does not revolve around them and that other people’s needs are just as important as theirs.

He envisioned a life in Australia after marriage with me, where had every intention to apply for his spousal visa upon arrival. I fell in love with what I thought was in his heart and agreed to marry him; to me, love doesn’t see age and in Australia, there is no such discrimination so marring younger men is quite common.

• Chapter 2, Article 14, the right to education:

I tried to enter into Law to commence 1st of October, 2014, however, my application with the Malta university was rejected; which I was only informed about at the interview stages (two weeks before commencement) not leaving me sufficient time to re-apply as an international student – another way in. Furthermore, I have been made aware by university staff themselves that my husband had applied for his masters in criminology at the same time and that I can do my law degree next year when my husband, has finished his masters, (allowing him to go first); which made me very angry because I felt held back for him to get ahead; a clear case of INEQUALITY; again demonstrating outdated practices. Below is the letter I attached to my said application.

I would like to take this opportunity to apply for the above listed course with The University of Malta, as per my online application for mature age entry.

It’s taken me years to figure out what I want to do with my life; I was born into Domestic Violence from the very start and at only twenty one, I was enduring divorce and custody battles, as a result of marital violence fuelled by an alcoholic spouse.

I’ve spent sixteen years raising two children single handily with limited support from extended family members; and the past eighteen months fulfilling my travel dreams, which resulted in a marriage to a local.

As a result of blowing the whistle on a police officer for sexual assault in Australia, I’ve been subjected to in-conceivable levels of police corruption carried forward from place to the next, sabotaging the opportunity for perfectly good relationships and the right to a fair go; which throughout the years, has given me a VERY STRONG SENCE FOR JUSTICE and intelligence training beyond my years.

As a result of my said experiences, I have represented myself in court dealing with diverse areas of law, in particular, civil and criminal cases. This entailed intensive research of the relevant act’s and the study of sections and sub-sections in preparation for on-coming hearings; and furthermore, compiling and submitting (singlehandedly) all documentation in due course directly with the courts. I’ve also had first-hand experience in cross-examining a witness and from that very moment, my passion to enter the legal arena was born.

By scanning through my attached CV, you will discover that I am currently establishing a tell all website and a campaign (starting at a slow pace) to raise awareness of domestic violence among other things, in hope to assist other’s suffering in silence; I am also pursuing appointments with the relevant ministers of Malta in order to move forward.

I am very committed and hungry for the opportunity to be counted as a legal representative with a country that is very close to my heart, to put all this experience to good use for the mutual benefit.

Thank you, for your time and I look forward to the opportunity of an interview, to further discuss my suitability for entry into The Bachelor of Laws commencing 1st October, 2014.

Once Qualified, I had intended to use my legal expertise (as a lawyer) to represent women and children of domestic violence in court, after establishing Europe’s First Rehabilitation Centre - ‘TrentEsta’ – to transform gender power inequalities combating violence against women at the core.

Since I met him, I’ve been pushing for my husband to complete his masters and he resisted me, showing no interest what so ever.

I then apply for my Law Degree against his will with the same university he holds credibility with, (which is something he was dead against me doing, making every effort to discourage me from the very beginning…) and all of sudden, he races over there, right after separation and applies for his masters in the same year, making false allegations that I am stalking him and that he is scared of me??? A place for him to privately continue his affair with a Maltese girl where he was well supported by his Maltese community at large, was more to the point. I reminded university students, who informed me of such allegations that ‘if you are scared of someone, you do not hit them under any circumstances…’.

• Chapter 2, Article 15, freedom to choose an occupation and the right to engage in work:

I spent all morning job hunting, sending CV's online and presenting myself in person to prospective employers. I started at Sliema on foot and by lunchtime I was in Paceville, following up on two vacancies I applied online, for the position of HR and Marketing Manager with Arcadia in Paceville.

While I was right next door, I thought I'd follow up on some emails I sent to businesses stationed in the Portomasso Business Tower for employment opportunities but upon entering the front doors of the said business tower, I was stopped by security staff who were stationed on the ground floor who effectively prevented me from going upstairs to seek employment, despite having a CV in my hand and copies of covering letters that I sent to businesses stationed upstairs in the Portomasso Business Tower the I was pursuing employment with.

What was even more surprising is that they told me to seek consent from local police in order to apply for jobs with businesses stationed at the Portomasso Business Tower; I was not committing crime and therefore, involving the police was completely un-necessary; such a statement is a clear indication of less favourable treatment, as I’m sure they would not have said that to my husband under any circumstances and yet it was he who was committing crimes against me!

I was even surprised they stopped me upon entry the way that they did because 12 months ago I entered with my Maltese husband for exactly the same reason, seeking employment, with CV's in hour hands and we were automatically allowed upstairs by the same old Maltese security guard NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Entering by myself today for exactly the same reason and happy to leave my bag downstairs, I was denied. If I was fooling around (passing advertising material for example) that would be one thing and perfectly understandable but for the purpose of seeking employment and following up on concurrent emails, I don't think they had the right to stand in my way and prevent me from the opportunity of presenting myself in person to perspective employers who are paying wages fitting to my credentials and in accordance to my level of experience; a wage that is adequate enough to get me off the streets. Less favourable treatment and discrimination of any kind is an indication of poor morals, ILLEGAL and JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

• Chapter 3, Article 20, Equality before the law:

My husband subjected me to Domestic Violence as a result of infidelity, a crime that was organised and supported by police corruption over an illegal cross reference that should never have happened – a grudge carried forward from one country to the next. My husband alleged the following which he said came out of the mouths of detectives at the Victoria Police Station in Gozo – during his interrogation:

  • Australian's are doll bludgers and don't want to work...

  • Don't get me pregnant or I will hit hard with maintenance (my ex-partners had more to take than my husband and I never touched their money, even though I was entitled to it - I had both father's exempt...)

  • Detectives claiming I was already married…

  • Calling me a 'mignuna'... (referring to someone who is mentally ill)

  • Further claiming that I was treating him like a poodle on a leash and that if his wife dare treat him like that, he’s slap her in the face Detectives recommended that my husband take a STD test for HIV after sleeping with me

  • …after 40 year old, women find it hard to conceive

  • Detectives making fun of my CV that they had handy and told my husband that I have a degree with the university of the streets AND FINALLY - in abusing their power of position tried to bribe my husband with JOB SECURITY should he comply with their wishes to leave me and never speak to me again.

  • They also offered to personally look after him as a friend but not as long as he is married to me; and by making such an offer in uniform, not only did they break the criminal code but also the code of Malta Police Act.

This sweet faced husband of mine, who at the beginning was quite innocent and sexually inexperienced, went from being a man of good moral character to a wolf in sheep’s clothing overnight, calculating deception every step of the way - one face to me and another to everyone else. His mother in a separate incident took it upon herself to assault me in the middle of the streets carrying forward the abuse; my husband reported, ‘At one point, she (referring to his mother) became really aggressive and hit my wife in the face twice and later in the stomach, I had to jump in the middle to stop my mum from hitting my wife once again.’ He further added on a formal statement, ‘My wife did not hit back, she did not raise her voice nor was she abusive at any particular point… People with, Psychosis, Schizophrenia and Aggressive by nature, do not keep their hands to themselves when confronted with violence, nor are tolerant in such circumstance; and they certainly don’t have the skills to effectively communicate resolution as oppose to hitting back.

During the ordeal with Gozo Detectives, my husband at one point in time was nowhere to be found after searching the back end of the police station for him after using the toilet. I was ordered to return to the front of the police station after questioning the police officer on duty where my husband has disappeared to (who had no answer for me); where I kept on tight guard. After telling her that she is preventing me from seeing my husband by keeping my under tight guard in the front room for several hours, she started complaining loudly to two of the four detectives on duty who ordered me to the local hospital via ambulance to be assessed??? I complied, despite not agreeing. Contrary to their claims, Gozo Detectives failed in their efforts (by way of influence and false reference) to institutionalize me for the second time in my life, supporting an illegal cross reference between the two countries that should never have taken place. While being examined by a doctor at the Gozo Hospital – a doctor who in his honesty and integrity, argued against the idea with the said detectives in my presence - I was deemed by him to have NO mental health concerns that would effectively warrant institutionalization. The full story involving Gozo Detectives is listed in the attached document titled, ‘B not B12’, which details circumstances of marital abuse.

Once we returned from the Gozo Main Hospital, the police falsely arrested me for Charges of bigamy, right after isolating me in a room at the front of the Victoria police station because I asked to see my husband. I was distracted answering their questions without a lawyer while confined to the front room behind a door they held shut against my will buying them time to separate us against both his and my will. My husband who wanted to wait for me in order to return to Malta together, (and he did communicate this with them, which they did not accept), was forced to leave the police station without me and go back to Malta where he was supported in pursuing another deemed more suitable;;; cultural abuse at its best!

The following information forms part of court report that I compiled single-handedly addressed to the Chief Psychiatrist of Victoria, Dr Ruth Vine; which was presented to the family courts in Australia.

Tuesday, 4th October, 2011

4th October, 2011 - The day before the adjourned appeal with the Mental Health Review board; I was handed an incriminating report by DHS alleging abuse and neglect, effectively failing my parenting standards. I did not give Mercy Werribee Hospital staff consent to take copies to place in my file, as such report is false and incorrect and that I had not yet had the opportunity to defend against such allegations in court. I was concerned that such a report would damage my opportunities to prove my mental stability to medical practitioners and that based on credibility alone, matching up against DHS with my “Domestic Violent” upbringing, I would without a doubt be unfairly disadvantage; however, a copy was taken against my will and placed in my files. At approximately 4:45pm, I willingly engaged in conversation with Sandeep for a period of an hour and fifteen minutes, unguarded and quite comfortable; I explained to Sandeep that I didn’t like Amy’s work ethics however, was happy to be assessed by him during conversation if he had the time to listen. I started from the very beginning, the point when my daughter went missing for three days after the forbidden rave party she attended behind my back at fifteen with her 23 year old work supervisor/boyfriend, right up to the point of entry and admission into both the Footscray Emergency Department and the Werribee Mercy Hospital. At the end of our conversation Sandeep stated that there are no signs of a mental illness; however, he did encourage me to provide Amy with the same communication to enable Amy the opportunity to independently assess me.

• Chapter 3, Article 21, non-discrimination:

I would like to thank John who did my eye makeup before heading over to be interviewed by another John from the Vacancy Centre in Swatar. I walked into the vacancy centre at 12:00pm after seeing Grant Thornton who are in the opposite office suites, in both cases, to follow up on employment opportunities with Human Resources Personnel. The Interview at the Vacancy Centre with John was very interesting and some of it spoken in Maltese to verify my fluency after I was told about a vacancy of interest with Maltese Employer. John said that if I don’t speak Maltese I cannot be considered for this job because the employer and staff are all Maltese and they want Maltese speaking people. So we conversed in Maltese under his instruction to prove my level of fluency; but I was dismayed because this is an English speaking country.

During the interview I refrained from divulging my age and current marital status. John was a little thrown by my determination to keep information that could subject me to discrimination to myself, in particular my age and marital status; which came from my previous experiences of being openly discriminated by local prospective employers upon applying for positions vacant within their organization. For me, keeping all this to myself was not easy to do because I had to suddenly think about what I was saying and choose my words carefully, which is not something I would normally do; if you’re telling the truth, you should not have to think about it, unless you are withholding information contrary to my communication style. I like to be open, leaving no stone unturned trusting that people in general will use their better judgment against all forms of discrimination. It was the first time I failed to disclose such personal information that is not deemed necessary to gain employment and I don’t recall receiving a follow up email to consider me for a job I was completely experienced to carry out and eligible to apply for, working for that Maltese Employer who wanted Maltese speaking people, as a matter of priority.

• Chapter 3, Article 23, EQULAITY between MEN and WOMEN:

My husband had an issue with me being the breadwinner and held me back from gaining employment that pays more than what he could earn; he was unemployed at the time. I was discouraged from attending an interview for employment that I was shortlisted for, paying 24,000Eur per year with an international accountancy firm who wanted an experienced accounts clerk, who after viewing my CV showed an enormous amount of interest and called me the same day they received my online application for an initial telephone interview, which I passed with flying colours. I had to turn them down after discussions with my husband and I did not get another opportunity like that again; and remained unemployed ever since.

• Chapter 4, Article 33, family and professional life – the right to legal, economic and social protection:

My husband and I were going through separation; he has made every effort to push me away since his first interview with the Ministry for Social Solidarity, for the LEAP Project, which he was certain to be appointed before his acceptance came through. He told me that this position was promised to him by a third party (whose identity he did not disclose) and further mentioned that I was standing in his way of getting the job; and therefore, he has to ‘get rid of me’ first. Of course this did not make any sense until recently, when he went as far as to break my statue of The Blessed Virgin Mary that I pray The Holy Rosary to each morning, as a means of what he calls ‘getting rid of me’; which worked like a charm, it compelled me to throw his bags out the front door; Tuesday the 22nd July, 2014.

When I get to the point of contemplating hitting back (and only in retaliation after several months of tolerating his family violence – his problem), that’s when I know it’s time to walk away but the love I had for him did not expire, only the abuse he was subjecting me to. If I had the option to live with him and be free from his family violence, I would have stayed and we would have grown old together, which is what he said he wanted and why we got married in the first place – his violence did not give me the option, nor did his community!

Someone advised me to forgive him and in the spirit resolving the matter peacefully, I met with him in person the following day and gave him till Sunday 27th of July, 2014, to return back home to reconcile; which he failed to do, as this job is obviously more important to him – chasing money as usual. TWO DAYS LATER ON THE 24TH JULY, 2014; BRADLEY GOT THE JOB VIA EMAIL CONFIRMATION FOR THE LEAP PROJECT – HE OBVIOUSLY KNEW SOMETHING THAT I DIDN’T. His people were protecting him!

• Chapter 5, Citizen’s Rights, Article 42, Right of Access to Documents:

The YMCA began creating an illegal file in my name with every visit I made for clean clothes; I did not ask them for accommodation. I made my point quite clear that being a whistle blower, I cannot possibly be placed in shared accommodation with troubled teens, where there are likely to be problems that are swept under the carpet to keep reputations intact. They kept coming up with excuses to justify this file with information they secretly created that they so badly wanted to hold against me; its contents were kept secret, despite demanding they delete the file that they created in my name, which is against protocol (as I only sought their assistance for a clean change of clothes from the donation basket available to the general public upon entry) and refrain from using this highly secretive file under any circumstances. This came at a time my husband got his job with the Ministry of Social Solidarity; the YMCA and all other services that I turned to for assistance (after separation from my husband who subjected me to family violence) fell under their umbrella. The YMCA Valletta refused me the contents of the said file upon my request and failed me in their duty of care to practise what they preach; …seeking to promote a vision to build a more just society.

After separation from my husband, a letter was sent to Mr Mallia (the previous minister for Home Affairs and National Security, requesting access to any documents (and concurrent notes) that may have been passed over from Australia – and illegal cross-reference that should never have happened. My request went un-answered.

The following information is a brief outline of the circumstances that led to the trauma of separation involving my children – a case of police corruption stretched seven years long, as a result of blowing the whistle on a police officer for sexual assault, whose brother is believed to be a member of the Australian Federal Police Force. The following passage forms part of a confidential court-report titled, ‘Statement of Reason’s…’ that I complied single headedly, in my fight to get my children back via the family courts in Australia before coming to Malta; unfortunately I up the credibility of long standing authorities and lost my fight for justice.

  • Sixth Involvement with DHS

My mother and I engaged in heated argument over her disciplinary ideas for my son Blake, who was at her house spending “boy” time with my father.

The argument with my mother ended with me threatening my mother with the following statement, “if you so much as put one scratch on my son while he is in your house spending time with dad, I will not hesitate in calling the police and reporting you to DHS for not only the abuse you subjected me to as a child (which never came to light) but also for hitting other people’s children (Ixia and Nemesia) while in your care during the family day care program that was run by the Williamstown Council (funded by DHS)”.

My mother Lilly, with so much aggression, promised to use her credibility to have me locked up and written off as a lunatic and then ensuring my children are removed from my care permanently; if she was successful in waging war against me, my complaints and that of my children’s would effectively be silenced. I ended the conversation by stating, “enjoy Blake while you can because once I collect him, we won’t be coming back again and that there is a very good reason why I only visit your mad house once every six years...”

Friday 9th September, 2011

The next evening my son Blake called me to collect him from my mother’s house, he was complaining of a sore back and failed to go into detail as to what happened. By this point he was in my father’s care for a few days since our return to Melbourne, Victoria; my son seemed scared of my mother, he complained that she was constantly running me down and felt intimidated by some of my grown up siblings who regularly visit and often take her side.

During conversation, my son was cut short and call was terminated; upon trying to phone him back my sister, who was visiting my mother at the time had refused me the opportunity to talk to my son and also cut me short of conversation and again the call was terminated.

I called a Taxi immediately, with no money to spare and in a great hurry I ordered the Taxi Driver to my mother’s house to collect my son; I promised to pay the bill upon arrival.

When I arrived at my mother house to collect my son, he was nowhere to be found and no one answered the front door after knocking several times in the presence of the taxi driver; it seemed no one was home. The taxi driver thought I was trying to avoid his fare and wanted my mobile phone for insurance. I later found out that my mother refused to answer the door because she was on the phone to the police lodging false complaints against me to prevent me from collecting my son from her care in the case that he would make allegations against her; the police were on their way.

Not knowing this at the time of arrival, I proceeded to the neighbour’s house to loan Taxi Fare. Minutes later the police arrived, were looking for me and found me at my neighbour’s house collecting fare for the taxi driver parked outside.

Initially I thought police presence was called upon by the Taxi driver who may have assumed I was avoiding payment of his fare; when I tried to explain the Taxi issue to the police, they had explained that my mother called them and it has nothing to do with the Taxi waiting outside; police ordered the taxi to leave.

I accompanied the police to my mother’s house and as I approached the front gate my mother, in the presence of the police officer (Constable Wormington) she became very aggressive towards me, name calling me and carrying on in this manner stating loudly, “I will show you now, I will show you…” I couldn’t understand how the police officers just stood by and did nothing about my mother’s aggressive behaviours towards me but still insisted I enter the house; due to my mother’s aggression I initially hesitated but decided to co-operated with police as I trusted they would act impartial ensuring my protection.

The police officers had explained in brief that my mother called on them because she believes that I am a danger to myself and to the community; she was supported by my adult siblings waiting quietly in the neighbouring kitchen.

The police officer… went on to explain that he will be calling an ambulance who will be accompanied by the CATT Team for an on the spot assessment and that the CATT Team officer will determine whether I need to be accompanied to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation or not!

After the ambulance arrived, I was questioned and assessed on my mother couch by the officer for a period of approximately half an hour; who did not deemed it necessary for me to be taken into hospital for a psychiatric evaluation as she clearly stated that I did not meet all 5 criteria of section 8.1 of the Mental Health Act and therefore I cannot be taken in under section 9 of the ACT; instead this officer had observed that there is obviously a communication breakdown between my mother and me and that we need the opportunity to talk about it. I insisted on seeing my son, as I’ve come to collect him from my mother’s house, who has prevented me from doing so by not answering the door at the time of arrival.

My mother was outraged and in a hurry called for a meeting in the kitchen with the police officers and my adult siblings, outnumbering my complaints, four against one.

The police officer came out of the kitchen and overruled the decision of the CATT Team Officer, he said there are too many people in the kitchen saying the same thing and apprehended me under section 10 of the Mental Health Act; I was driven to the Footscray Emergency Ward in the back of the police van…

Judging by the noise coming from the back window of the house that faces the road, It’s possible that my son may have been helplessly watching from the inside and ordered not to come out of the room; as I heard constant knocking coming from that window on the way over to the police van, as if someone was desperately trying to grab my attention.

I was very heart broken but co-operated with authority in trust that the police would do their job well and everything would get sorted out quickly; my mobile phone was removed and my bag containing a camera and confidential information confiscated by police.

I was refused phone calls to call for legal advice (which is my legal right) and to make contact with my son and was placed under strict police surveillance in the Footscray Hospital Emergency Ward while waiting for a doctor to see me.

In conclusion, I was taken off section and released from the Mental Health System in Australia and came to Malta with a clean passport and no on-going concerns.

• Chapter 7, Article 53, level of protection:

The MSIDA Police told me that the incidents of abuse I wanted to report with them were simply too old and therefore, I could not file a report against my husband, who was working for the Ministry of Social Solidarity at the time. They were talking to me at the same time as holding an open line over the phone to Mater Dai Hospital conversing in Maltese, saying something about a crazy person needing to be picked up urgently – I had a hard time picking up every word, spoken very quickly in Maltese. It’s not unreasonable to assume they might have been referring to me, as there was no one else at their front counter and the police station at the time of making such an enquiry was quiet. I was only trying to seek their assistance to have some form of legal documentation to show for the purpose of seeking accommodation, as an alternative to sleeping outside.

10/12/2013:

I emailed (a copy attached) the Ministry for Social Solidarity expressing serious concerns for my husband’s behaviours at a time when he tried to take his own life; we were experiencing pressure from extended family members, his extramarital affair (which he admitted to having) that he was using for sex because she was offering it and he’s greedy (one is never enough), and subject to police corruption who supported his affair with a Maltese Girl, deeming her more suitable by way of culture (in consistent with their accusation listed on page 14, Chapter 3, Article 20...

My husband subjected me to Domestic Violence, also mentioned in the attached email. The Ministry at the time of receiving such emails, advised me to take my husband to hospital for a psychiatric assessment as a matter of priority, which I had to trick him (for his own welfare) to attend the emergency ward because he refused to co-operate – I told him we were going to attend for me. In concurrent emails sent by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, there was no mention of any support on offer for what I was enduring nor any protection offered for me as his wife experiencing family violence, subjected to my husband’s abuse – my husband’s welfare was their priority from the very beginning and mine, who knows???

My claims for domestic abuse was not taken seriously, despite asking for a referral to initiate marriage counselling with Appogg – a free service. They dropped everything to see to my husband’s welfare, despite the fact that I was also attending to it but with regards to the escalating levels of family violence and countless emails describing the details of such violence that were sent to the same ministry by me, a plea for assistance to attend to the said family violence, ignored.

I refused them any further communication and turned to the police (for the last time before breaking up in February, 2014 – our second split) after my husband physically assaulted me in the middle of the streets just around the corner from the Marsa Police Station, pounding me on the right shoulder as hard as he could, because I insisted on returning a 20Eur note that belonged to a neighbour that accidently fell on the floor, which he disapproved; I returned it against his will.

I entered the police station with my husband trying to restrain me in order to prevent me from reporting to the police; the Marsa police who witnessed us from their window facing the street, came outside to invite us in to police station to talk to them, which caused my husband to release his grip, after which I insisted we comply. Upon entry, I asked the police if they could organise a safe house for me until my husband gets the help he needs before considering reconciliation, as I have no longer have family I can turn to. They asked me if I wanted to press charges against him and I said, ‘no’ and went on to explain my reasoning; because he has a degree in criminology and I didn’t want to damage his career opportunities with a criminal record, as he will not allow me the be the breadwinner and at some point we time we need to start providing for ourselves. My husband in their presence began to admit to the marital violence that he was subjecting me to on a regular basis, once he heard that I was not going to press charges; …they promptly interrupted him and quickly separated us forcing me to wait outside for prolonged periods on sun-down and it was getting dark. I got fed up waiting outside while the police were in lengthy discussions with my husband and soon left. I returned back to 109 Conception Street in Msida on foot with a bruised shoulder and locked my husband out; however, he did not return that night, he was too busy making a baby he didn’t want…

He returned to his grandmother’s where his extra marital affair was waiting for him. The next day after he failed to return home, I packed his clothes and threw the sealed bags out by the front door and notified him via email to collect them before rubbish collection which was due Monday morning (two days later); failed to return for his clothes ignoring my emails.

I contacted the Ministry for Social Solidarity, giving them details of the violence that took place leading to our separation and requested the keys to 109 Conception Street in Msida, for the lease to be transferred in my name only and remain living a house they owned that they allowed us to live in as a married couple (because they could not stand to see my husband on the streets…) and instead of assisting me, they evicted me with only 1 weeks’ notice – they were shocked that I locked my husband out;;; I had nowhere to go and no one to turn to, with no assistance offered for alternative placement by the Housing Authority, who further threatened the police if I resist. The ministry took a hard line but on the wrong person, I was NOT the one dishing out the abuse, I was just the one putting up with it. It felt like I was being punished twice, from my husband and then from Ministry as well and from everyone else who fell under their umbrella, like the Housing Authority for instance, for a crime that I did not commit – crimes of Domestic Violence. Despite my ability to fight back, I would much rather cop a bruise than break his jaw but it still doesn’t excuse his violence under any circumstances.

They all knew about the family violence and they did nothing to assist me to gain independence from my husband, which is the core building block for breaking cycles of abuse.

I was forced to vacate the said premises and sleep outside like an animal and it was winter. My emails (and there were several that my husband - who had my passwords - later deleted in their favour and his…) addressed to Marie Louise Coliero (the minister at the time) with great urgency and carbon copied to both Marisa (social policy officer) and Vicky (the senior social worker) went unanswered; my application to remain in the said property, declined by the Housing Authority; and the senior social worker from the said ministry told me in her email reply (the only one she replied to during times of family violence) not to bother her anymore with my personal affairs. The social worker from the Housing Authority Office told me that it’s all in my head!

Goodness me, if they treated the perpetrators of Domestic Abuse like they treated me, instead of punishing the person on the receiving end for whatever reason, we would not see the statistics in Malta at epidemic proportions, as they are now. Someone is obviously not doing their job!

• Chapter 7, Article 54, Prohibition of abuse of rights:

Appogg said they cannot guarantee housing. They can however, place an application to the Housing Authority on my behalf; which was not deemed necessary, as I have already done that. They also offered to re-construct an application on my behalf to enable me welfare benefits, despite not qualifying; which were I come from, constitutes fraud on government documentation and I am simply not willing to break the law; ‘no-body checks’ they said! ‘If I don’t qualify, then I don’t qualify and that’s that’, I replied, nor do I want to be dependent on tax payers hard earned dollars, a system that is already under strain.

Then they had the cheek to circulate phone calls informing related services that I don’t want their assistance and further claiming that they have done everything in their power to help me... Well if that’s how they help people, then I don’t need it!

With regards to housing, it shouldn’t matter who’s handing the application in, if the information is the same, so should the end result be.

Everyone else I turned to after my ordeal with Appogg, were all refusing me support, telling me to go back to Appogg. Communication was obviously circulating beyond my control; which I deem unethical and against what I know to be, code of conduct rules.

This information was confirmed by a local church that offers emergency relief to the poor and destitute on a regular basis who withdrew their assistance under pressure; which for obvious reasons I cannot mention,

While enduring the separation process via legal representatives, during which time nothing eventuated nor any legal agreement made to change our Marital Status, my husband Mr Bradley Agius (DOB - 17/11/1989, and ID Card 541489M) failed to respond to a maintenance demand refusing to pay a single cent, ensuring I suffer homeless; and he knew winter was just around the corner but it was my punishment (he said) for opening my mouth with regards to family violence that I suffered as his wife, which he subjected me to and kept well hidden from everyone on face value, telling them only one side of the story – his – and of course he was well supported in his tightknit community of Maltese born lovers.

While homeless in 2014/2015, I have suffered the following – just to give a few examples out of a very long list, of the unpleasant nature of street life, which I certainly did not bring on myself:

  • Been punched in the face by an old man whose advances I refused; he claimed to be under the instruction of my husband who was trying to find a way to support his false claims of prostitution. This old man was told I would accept his advances for money, which I did not and upon retaliation fending him off with my words only, he punched me in the face. I had a very quick decision to make (a) walk away or (b) knock him out cold and answer to the police on assault charges.

A prostitute is something THAT I AM NOT! I would rather starve than sell my best asset, my body, for cash – that once your dignity is sold, you can never buy it back.

  • I have been raped by way of sedation, which I did not under any circumstances consent to; in a state of consciousness, I would fight against such crime. There has been claims of a pornographic video available online involving a women in a knocked out state matching my identity – which I have not yet seen. I have however, woken up with memory loss and unexplained bruises (that I give myself), after falling asleep out in the open. I am not on drugs, nor do I deal in such things and therefore, there is absolutely no excuse for waking up in such a state. A comment following such an incident that was posted on a Maltese Facebook web-page called ‘Crime Today’, mentions me in a degrading way, as someone who needs all the donations she can get! Should I see such pornographic footage, which I am still searching online to find, I will not hesitate in taking legal action and addressing the United Nations accordingly because the only man that

  • Harassed by police waking me up from a place with some safety (where I have purposely choose to sleep in locations visible under surveillance cameras); police claiming that homelessness is illegal??? I am not aware that by sleeping outside I might be breaking the law, and there is no such mention in the Criminal Code of Malta. I am a law abiding citizen and during my struggles with homeless, I have committed not one single crime, even at times when I have gone hungry for two straight days because my feet are too sore and blistered to walk to the Catholic Sister’s to be fed – by way of mutual agreement; I do however, accept monetary hand out’s from complete strangers who offer (I do not ask for money…) from time to time, but only when I am in need. When I am not hungry and well fed, I reject money that people offer because there is simply no need to take it.

Had the Housing Authority approved my application for housing like they did quite promptly when my husband was by my side, I would not have endured such threats to my health and safety – wellbeing is my Human Right.

Marital Violence Continued:

The destabilisation and discrediting process ensuring silence in times of violence – what I call ‘the dirty cover up’.

It is much to my disgust that our Maltese Speaking Neighbours in Hamrun and Msida, who were mostly (if not all) on my Maltese Husband’s side (and that’s judging by the level of support he received on an ongoing basis during our co-tenancy and the lack of it for me) used to ask me if I was the one hitting my husband and what a poor thing he is…; who all heard the violence and never made any attempts to assist me by at least picking up the phone to police, who would have witnessed the abuse my husband subjected me to upon their arrival and in duty bound, charged him according. Plates were being broken, after my husband threw them on the ground in his attempts to intimidate me into submission while his affair was waiting just around the corner (housed by the locals). My husband was at the time falsely alleging that his unexplained outbursts were as a result of me giving him illegal substances/drugs and to back up his bullsh*t, he would wait for me to fall asleep (because he knows I don’t hear noise when I’m sound asleep) and then allow visitors, men with poor presentation that resembled drug dealers, etc… I would often wake up the front door open, when I know I locked it before bed the night before and he would claim not to have left the house, saying ‘he’s got no idea what I’m talking about’.

Then once time, a man of poor presentation came knocking during the day while my husband was at work and demanded to come in, which I immediately refused him. He said he was a friend of my husband and has been visiting at nights with a few others …and I knew nothing about this and got angry with him. I told him that they do not have my consent to enter and he is not welcome to approach my front door ever again and should he force his way in, I will be forced to defend myself using any weapon I can get my hands on and then I will happily answer to the police when he’s lying in a hospital bed with two broken legs and his nose out of place. He soon left, before I got a chance to finish my sentence and from that moment on (since I was un-employed and able to do so), I changed my sleeping patterns to during day so I could keep an eye on my husband at nights by staying awake. Unfortunately, the levels of family violence after that encounter escalated because my husband could no longer sneak out at nights to see his affair, a local girl who was being secretly housed right next door for the purpose of supporting contact between her and my husband (by the neighbours – his toy soldiers). Despite the neighbours keeping very quiet on face value, I saw everything I needed to know and it was much to my disappointment that I was wrong about the man I married, who I thought was someone of good moral character. My husband was not the victim but good at behaving like one and he had everyone else convinced.

In addition, I am currently exploring my options in relation to pressing charges against his affair, as by pursuing a married man, she is in breach of the criminal code that state’s ‘one cannot disrupt to good order of families…’ Title VII of the Criminal Code of Malta; she has put enormous pressure to meet with him, a local girl who the neighbours supported by keeping it a secret from me until I saw it for myself during the nights. Cupboards slammed first thing in the morning by him before work (completely unprovoked) and my husband faking injuries before leaving the front door, to display a problem at home with me hitting him, putting into question my mental stability – the neighbours and his work colleagues all blaming me for the family violence while his reputation remained intact and at the time he worked for AWAS, which was neighbouring The Commission for Domestic Violence, whom he became well acquainted with ensuring to exclude me; the internal ruin in process. In a tight community of gossipers, the blind start leading the blind and before you know it, everyone becomes deaf, dumb and stupid, harbouring the seeds of silence that ensure the violence.

The Chairperson for the Commission of Domestic Violence who is also a legal aid representative, has refused to take my case upon my request; I have accepted her reason’s to be true however, I deem her the only legal representative qualified to take my very complicated case on legal aid funds; I suddenly became isolated and no help from anyone was offered, while my husband’s support was growing at a rapid rate. I was not behaving like a victim enough to convince anyone of the actual turn of events because I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF AS ONE.

The following incident took place in Misida and is detailed in a court report (listing eight incidents of marital/family violence), titled, ‘B not B12’, (attached) which I presented to the Family Courts in Valletta during the separation process requesting maintenance; which did not eventuate into any legal agreement ‘what so ever’:

Incident Six

When we were living in Msida - 109 Conception Street - I noticed an empty wrapper of sleeping tablets on the floor by the front door of our house, it looked like the empty wrapper just fell in that position???

I asked my husband if the empty wrapper belongs to him and he denied all knowledge of it, and it sure as hell wasn't mine, as I would rather stay up all night than take those things. We were the only two in the house so I couldn't understand it.

The next day Bradley cooked for me, as he usually does and then insisted we go to bed earlier than usual, (straight after dinner), which was odd; I crashed on the couch by accident next to him - it was Wednesday, late afternoon. I woke up Friday at around lunchtime and thought I was going crazy, until Bradley confirmed it was actually Friday. Bradley woke up hung-over, with a hint of beer on his breath and I couldn't work it out. He told me that I was going crazy and to this day, I still can't explain what happened.

I asked Bradley if he slipped me some sleeping pills so he could go out and have some fun without raising suspicion and he denied all, again calling me crazy. We'll I am not on anything, so what happened I asked him??? And he said that he's got no idea what I am talking about, his favorite punchline when playing the game of deny all!

I told Bradley that next time I am knocked out like this, I will not hesitate in filing a police report, describing what just happened and he can then answer to them; he said, good luck trying to get them to believe you!

And it happened again in the month of June, I was knocked out for 12 hours and woke up with a splitting headache and bruises on my hips (that were not there the night before); as if I’d been knocked around the room while sleeping; again Bradley ‘had no idea what I was talking about’.

I consider myself as someone who was affected by my husband’s violence, as a matter of bad luck – we are not all lucky in love, the only thing that money can’t buy and it’s the only thing I’m interested in, money can always be made.

My rent expired and my husband was no longer there to pay the rent and therefore, I endured homelessness for the second time since married to my husband, Bradley Agius, as a result of ceasing co-habitation because of Domestic Violence, born of Infidelity, a crime supported by not only the locals but also police corruption – Gozo Detectives, who in their efforts to keep us apart, promised while pointing their finger at me as I was leaving Gozo, ‘that this is not the end’; I stuck my middle finger right back at them upon boarding the boat to return to Malta with my husband. It’s not unreasonable to assume that he’s also fully supported by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, where he was initially employed on the 4th August, 2014 on the condition he ‘gets rid of me first’ (earning an estimated income of 20,000Er per annum) in accordance to my husband’s own admissions during a heated argument, escalating the abuse and adding insult to injury. I soon nick named them ‘The Ministry of Maltese Families’, because in accordance to my direct experiences, their priorities seem to lie with their own. Emails sent to the said ministry – a cry for help – informing them of family violence were deleted off records and ignored (…sent to two senior staff members and one of them was a senior social worker who told me not to bother her with my emails), leaving no evidence of my husband being anything other than a person of ‘good moral character’, which was a core requirement to be deemed a suitable application for the LEAP Project, working for the Ministry of Social Solidarity, a project funded by the European Union.

My husband got upset when I pointed out that I have no doubt that there were plenty of suitable, well-educated candidates who deserved that position with the leap project better than him but missed out all because of his selfish crimes; that he should hang his head in shame and publically apologise to us all, not walk around like his God’s gift to women, because he is not – not even close!

When my husband was working as a night receptionist at The Saint Geroge Park Hotel in Paceville, where he lost his job because he stole from the cash register (according to a very reliable security guard) and had no ties to the Government and earning a minimum wage, no one even found him attractive. In fact some of his co-workers wanted to know what the hell I saw in him. I told them that love does not see the image, only the person inside, who has been spoiled by way of bribery and corruption. I found out later, after checking out from the hotel, that Bradley was involved in circulating false rumours within the hotel that I was prostituting my body for money, and then when he was asked, ‘where is all her money then (because I had none)’, he would reply, ‘she spends it on drugs’; and of course he had to think of a drug where there are no apparent physical side effects to cease any further enquiries. It’s only when he started acting out symptoms of drugs use, which no one was giving me nor was I on anything that I caught on to what he was playing at and it was all bullshit. His need for power and control was evident early in the peace however, not only ignored the sings, I also took my eye off the ball and soon became blinded to his destructive ways, determined to see only the good – I was too busy loving him, irrespectively. I felt quite strongly that he is a child of God subject to human error; however, what was to come was inexcusable, crimes of violence that not even God would condone, I’m sure!

When I arrived in Malta in December of 2012, my Maltese Grandmother, Nanna Annie said to me, ‘do you know what your problem is’, and I said, ‘no what’, she continued, ‘you are a lover’! She is the only one that got it right in my 39 years of existence.

I have been un-successful in gaining employment since my arrival in Malta in December, 2012 (although I had a close call that my husband denied me, as mentioned) and the reasoning so far in accordance to the feedback that I have provided is that (1) I am too old at 40… and (2) employers fear my return to Australia and do not want to spend time and money training me irrespective of my credentials (3) my husband’s nationality and (4) his position with a key ministry that is responsible for social solidarity, (5) I have an unstable employment history rising two children single headedly for the past 16 years, which is also a major obstacle for prospective employers and now that I am (5) homeless I am virtually un-employable, no one has even seriously considered my application until yesterday… there have been many failed attempts with local retailers and businesses since ceasing co-habitation with my husband. My attire in the state of homelessness does not meet the criteria for jobs that pay well, that I am fully qualified to carry out by way of experience and finding a local Employer who is going to give me a fair go, taking into consideration my current circumstances, might just be a battle in itself.

There are also contracts to consider and what is deemed as acceptable work standards, working for an equal opportunity employer (is everyone’s right in accordance to the law), who reward their staff with adequate training, starting salary options, excellent commissions and fantastic career progressions, and of course a gym would without a doubt assist with my hip injury, which is important to my health.

I have sought assistance from correct channels to no avail and the Housing Authority, have refused my urgent application for placement over a technicality that could have been overcome with a formal letter from my lawyer confirming separation (attached); an application I placed twice and marked urgent, to be housed in a property that I have requested at 109 Conception Street in Msida, (which was still vacant) leaving me homeless since September, 2014.

I have previously occupied the said premises with my husband in December 2013, a property that the Housing Authority willingly gave (via the said ministry (their umbrella)) after discovering my husband is Maltese born, which they openly favoured, despite not having any identification on us at the time – the keys to the door were handed the same day as our plea for assistance and they voiced how they could not tolerate my husband on the streets, as a result of his family denying me the opportunity to belong, (and I am not under any circumstances referring to his father, who was kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t); on my own, while enduring separation from my Maltese Husband, my application to the same housing authority was rejected forcing me into homelessness; with no alternative accommodation offered and the house remains vacant. It would have been better than a life on the streets.

Being denied the opportunity to be the breadwinner also subjected me to much criticism by his family who were buying into stories that my husband was circulating, of how I stole his life saving’s and that I don’t want to work, having a free holiday on his back; my efforts to explain that I was trying to work so that I could earn sufficient funds to enable him to recuperate some of the money spent getting married, (despite the early marriage being his idea) fell on deaf ears and once again I was getting the blame for everything that went wrong.

It was not unreasonable to suspect my husband of circulating rumours that I stole all his life savings under the circumstances – who else would have started such a thing?

Well at least that’s what came out of both his mother’s and his maternal grandfather’s mouth when they physically assaulted me in the middle of the streets, after stalking us trying to break up our marriage.

After his mother had assaulted me in the streets, I paid both her and her husband a visit to communicate resolution but she refused to wrong her son and simply didn’t want to hear about his crimes of violence. I told her that if she loves her son that much, she should live with him until he’s fifty so that no other women takes him away; as that’s what she felt I was doing. Despite not being in a rush to return to Australia, there will come a time for me to go home because I have children there.

They had waiting for my husband, what was deemed as a suitable Maltese Girl Lined up for him and were supporting contact behind my back involving the neighbours to cover his ass, an illegal offence, a breach to my Human Right to ‘marry and found a family’, under Article 9, Section 2 of the Charter; and an insult that was supported by Gozo Detectives, who at the time of interrogating my husband kept us apart for five hours, while his local affair was waiting just outside for him in a borrowed vehicle that she used to sleep in while following us around everywhere in Gozo putting pressure on my husband to meet (which he had to make excuses for the times when he didn’t want to see her that I had to support, as he was just using her for sex; I often played along to keep the peace, despite not being happy with the situation; keeping my mouth shut is not one of my core strengths). All this illegal pressure on my husband saw to escalating levels of family violence causing me physical injury, simply because I did not want to fight back, not because I couldn’t.

I knew that IF I fought back, it would be the end of my marriage to someone I loved dearly, because my punch would break his jaw.

SURVIVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN MALTA:

  • 1. The Housing Authority rejected my urgent application twice and therefore, refused me the opportunity to be housed in a property that my husband and I once occupied, which was still vacant and perfectly liveable; my appeal to this day, unanswered and I am still homeless, as a result of an inflexible system.

  • 2. The Social Worker at the Housing Authority, upon disclosing the levels of domestic abuse my husband subjected me to, told me that it’s all in my head; which is the worst thing you can tell someone who is experiencing abuse and trying to seek support.

  • 3. Another senior social worker employed by the Ministry for Social Solidarity – Vicky – sat in the chair of a person who was in the position to authorize my food vouchers at the office of the Community Chest Fund (who already Ok’d the food vouchers before Vicky made her appearance…) and refused to process my application, refusing me food vouchers until such time that I agreed to be counselled by her first, asserting her authority. I did not deem counselling necessary in order to put food in my mouth (a human right) and therefore, rejected any dealings with her and any further communication. I left my singed (approved) application on the desk and walked out the door quietly and went hungry until the churches started opening their doors – two days later. .

  • 4. The YMCA began creating an illegal file in my name with every visit I made for clean clothes; I did not ask them for accommodation. I made my point quite clear that being a whistle blower, I cannot possibly be placed in shared accommodation with troubled teens, where there are likely to be problems that are swept under the carpet to keep reputations intact. They kept coming up with excuses to justify this file that they so badly wanted to hold against me and its contents, they kept secret.

  • I demanded they delete the file that they created in my name, which is against protocol and refrain from using it. a) The second last interaction I had with the YMCA just recently, I was subjected to abuse and profanities by staff while attempting to collect some clean clothing from the donation tub after wearing the same ones for six consecutive months (and even sleeping in them, as I’ve been forced into homelessness); out of spite, a staff member refused me the opportunity for a clean change of clothes. I believe my human rights have been breached and so have their policies; an organization that states, ‘The YMCA Valletta is a non-profit voluntary and ecumenical movement seeking to promote the vision to build a more just society…’.

  • 5. Dar Merhba Bik refused me entry into their shelter, as they were full; but even when vacancies arise, they were not willing to accommodate me without a social worker who is governed by the Ministry of Social Solidarity – the same ministry that broke my marriage, in accordance to my husband’s own admissions (Mr Bradley Agius – born 17/11/1989).

  • 6. Dar Qalb ta Gesu, will not take short term tenants and do not have crises intervention; they are simply short of staff through no fault of their own. They insist on a police report, which the MSIDA Police failed to give me upon my request due to no current incidents of abuse.

  • 7. The MSIDA Police told me that the incidents of abuse were simply too old to file a report against my husband, who was working for the Ministry of Social Solidarity at the time. They were talking to me at the same time as holding an open line over the phone to Mater Dai Hospital conversing in Maltese, saying something about a crazy person needing to be picked up urgently – I had a hard time picking up every word, spoken very quickly in Maltese.

  • 8. Dar Theresa in Valletta (an emergency shelter for women, newly opened by the Catholic Church) insisted on a referral from a social worker and had vacancies; they did give me the opportunity to gain one from the Director of The Catholic Church as an alternative; who could not give it...

  • 9. The Director of the Catholic Church in Floriana politely informed me of his reason for not being able to give such a referral after explaining my current circumstances, which led to homelessness. He said it was because he doesn’t know me and therefore, would have nothing to write; which stands to reason in a sense.

  • 10. Appogg said they cannot guarantee housing. They can however, place an application to the Housing Authority on my behalf; which was not deemed necessary, as I have already done that.

They also offered to re-construct an application on my behalf to enable me welfare benefits, despite not qualifying; which were I come from, constitutes fraud on government documentation and I am simply not willing to break the law; ‘no-body checks’ they said! ‘If I don’t qualify, then I don’t qualify and that’s that’, I replied, nor do I want to be dependent on tax payers hard earned dollars, a system that is already under strain. Someone with my credentials who no longer has kids in her care to raise as a sole parent, should not be on welfare!

Then they had the cheek to circulate phone calls informing related services that I don’t want their assistance and further claiming that they have done everything in their power to help me... Well if that’s how they help people, then I don’t need it! This information was confirmed by a local church that offers emergency relief to the poor and destitute on a regular basis; which for obvious reasons I cannot mention, as I promised in God’s name.

  • 11. ...and the sisters for all other alternative accommodation said they cannot do anything, as they have social workers sitting on top of them; and with regards to the Fatima House in Sliema (who have agreed to feed me), I did not fit the age criteria.

  • 12. All the services mentioned above (except for NGO) fall under the umbrella of the ministry where my husband was appointed as new employee at the time.

While trying to find a safe and secure place to sleep on the streets, there have been serious threats to my safety; I have been assaulted, punched in the face, harassed by police and raped by way of sedation that I did not consent to and therefore, at this point in time I feel that only a maintenance order would assist me to get out of a situation that I do not deserve to be in – and yet to this day, I HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIME. If my husband paid maintenance, even just half of the initial demand when he had the capacity to pay, I would not have suffered such crimes against me.

COMPENSATIN BY WAY OF MAINTENANCE:

IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST 50% OF ALL WAGES EARNED BY MY HUSBAND AND BACKPAYMENT FROM THE TIME I WAS MADE HOMELESS FOR AS LONG AS HE WAS EMPLOYED, PAID IN ONE LUMP SUM, AS SO TO CATER FOR MY IMMEDIATE NEEDS AND PROTECT MY HUMAN RIGHTS TO DIGNIFIED AND SAFER LIVING STANDARDS.

Maintenance would certainly enable me to pay for food, accommodation and clothing and live dignified and clean up in terms of hygiene, as so to be presentable for any applications I make for employment; as I am better suited to corporate positions that do not entail physical strain/manual labour, which could irritate my hip injury causing my pain; and I would like to have the option to go home should I choose to enjoy my new-born grandchild, which right now I don’t even have the option to do.

Someone with my work credentials should not be homeless, even the sister’s belonging to a local church said, ‘you are not homeless, you’ve just got no money. Homeless people are not employable, are not engage-able, do not communicate affectively and certainly are not productive in pursuing a campaign raising awareness of any kind on borrowed resources. They usually have drug and alcohol related problems because they have given up. YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM’. I personally couldn’t agree more and all I am asking in presenting this court ready document, is to grant maintenance within 28 days of the printed date, listed above.

CURRENT MARITAL STATUS:

In terms of filing for a separation court case against my husband to be heard in front of the judge, which was my initial intention after ceasing co-habitation, the case was closed; no amicable agreement was made to legally separate and mediation never took place due to the initial mediator, as appointed by the Family Courts in Valletta, failing to act impartial – the first mediation session scheduled approximately one month after me filing for separation (via legal representative), which unfortunately ran out my rent. I did not know at the time, nor was I informed by anyone, that in accordance to the Civil Code of the Families Section, Chapter 16, Article 39 …mediation by law must be scheduled within four days of filing for separation where there is a case of domestic violence. I formally requested a change in Mediator’s and then verbally informed the said court that as a result of having no funds left to continue privately funded legal representation with the same lawyer that I was happy with, I will from now on choose to self-represent;;; Erica, a new mediator, was then appointed to proceed with the mediation process, however, closed the case on January 25, 2015 under my instruction – a complicated matter no doubt; UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD I CONSENT TO ANNUL THE MARRIAGE, WE WERE BOTH CONSENTING ADULTS AND KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING.

My current marital status is still legally married and no amicable agreement made to legally separate, despite living apart as result of my husband’s crimes against me of family violence since late July of 2014.

POSSIBLE RESOLUTION:

Mr Bonnici, I would like to request your permission to represent myself under special circumstances in all Maltese courts of law, including but not limited to criminal, as so to prevent any further complications with legal representation.

In Australia I have represented myself in court dealing with diverse areas of law and I strongly believe Mr Bonnici, that you do not need a lawyer to tell the truth, if you are able to study the relevant act’s – this entailed intensive research of the relevant act’s and the study of sections and sub-sections in preparation for on-coming hearings and furthermore, compiling and submitting (singlehandedly) all documentation in due course directly with the courts; I’ve also had first-hand experience in cross-examining a witness. It’s no secret that the Legal Aid System is already under strain, which may compromise my case. I have been made aware that my husband is making every effort to evade all maintenance and marital responsibilities by possibly planning a trip overseas. I would like him stopped by law from leaving Malta, until such time the judge has made a final decision with regards to my husband’s maintenance responsibilities, a maintenance order that I am kindly asking you to file with the Family Courts of Malta on my behalf marked urgent; my request for such payments detailed above.

THE RIGHT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:

Alongside the above mentioned request spousal maintenance, I would also like to ask you to kindly contact The Victoria Police Station in GOZO and request all my identification (including Australian Passport, Australian Driver’s License (2 copies, one which is duplicate) my children’s Australian Passports, my Maltese Passport and ID Cards, My Marriage and Birth Certificates and anything else that may be in their care, which I was forced to leave behind after being subjected to a false arrest for a crime I am certainly NOT GUILTY OF;;; the ordeal with my husband in November 2013. I would like all documents as mentioned above returned to Malta for me to collect from your Valletta Main office without any further delay – the Ministry of Justice, Malta.

THE NEED FOR CHANGE:

Change comes about by way of example and by implementing laws in place designed to protect the rights of citizens and in a country where everyone follows the leader and you as Malta’s Justice Minister are in the prime position to make positive changes carrying forward, Mr Joseph Muscat’s (our most respected Prime Minister) excellent efforts to revive a community that has for many years deteriorated in its own self inflicting ignorance; economy is important but only the first step towards re-building strong foundations; social solidarity (when people in the relevant ministries are doing their jobs instead of busy playing favourites) forms the very building blocks that stabilize a community that is evidently unwell, who breach human rights unconscionably as a matter of accepted practise; that’s what happens when ‘it’s who you know’, as I have been informed!

Many argue that it’s a small country breeding a community with small minds but to me Mr Bonnici, that’s just a cop-out to resist much needed change and a sign of sure sign of laziness, as we all know that change can only take place when people work hard at it and consistency is the key that opens the door.

My view in accordance to what I deem as common sense, and many that I have communicated this with, do agree, ‘Malta is no longer a small country now that it has been sold to the EU by way of a majority rules vote – no one stole it. It now forms part of the twenty-eight member states and has legal obligations accordingly, in particular the mutual respect of human rights and the responsibility to illuminate all forms of discrimination, including but not limited to violence against women, which is an extensive Human Rights Abuse that nobody seems to be taking seriously, despite the campaigns and that’s judging by current statistics indicating a steady rise in figures, that have doubled over the past four years and on still the rise.

As a community, the Maltese agreed to join the EU, possibly having their eye’s on future financial gains, however, they overlooked their moral obligations and legal responsibilities, which has come at the expense of EU Residents (foreigners) and refugee’s trying to equally enjoy this beautiful land alongside the Maltese People; referring to statements that I hear on a weekly basis such as, ‘go back to your country you bl*ck bastard’, ‘this is our country, we can do whatever we want and if you don’t like it, you can get f**ked’, or they ask if you’re Maltese before they choose how they well they are going to look after you. Complaints of discrimination based on race against the Maltese are on the rise and simply not good enough.

Malta no longer belongs to just the Maltese, it's now the property of the European Union and EU Nationals – which includes them too.

The best way I can describe what it looks like the Maltese have done judging by my direct experiences, referring to their engagement and concurrent behaviours – some detailed in this this document – is no different to a marriage of convenience.

It would be deemed immoral and unethical to marry into a situation for the money and then dismiss the very people who have paid you once you’re pockets are full; where I come from, that’s called GREED!

We all know that when you get married, there is no longer mine and yours, IT’S OURS.

Malta Taghna Lkoll

Economy is important and it’s no doubt improving in the hands of Mr Muscat, however, law compliant behaviour’s and attitudes are just as important and need to follow and the example has to come from the top – the blind cannot lead the blind!

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES:

I would be honoured to represent one of the world’s largest organisations working for ‘Mr Nigel Green, a success story’; for the opportunity to broaden my horizons within the finance industry working for an equal opportunity employer who reward their staff with adequate training, starting salary options, excellent commissions, fantastic career progressions and a gym to keep the endorphins flowing in the right direction promoting healthy workplace practices at the core. It’s not just a job, it’s a career!

I have applied for the position of In-House Recruiter, which pays 25,000Eur per annum – adequate to ensure the rebuilding process after suffering several breaches to my human rights, as detailed in this court-ready report.

Taking into consideration the level discrimination and less favourable I have experienced by a community at large (as detailed in this court-ready report), it would not be unreasonable for me to expect to work for anyone other than an equal opportunity employer, who is able to deliver what they promise, in order to secure employment deemed adequate.

THE COST OF NIGLIGANCE:

Accordingly you are invited to investigate as you see fit in order to explore the possibility of concluding an amicable resolution, which I am requesting to be kept fully informed via email reply; however, if nothing is done to address the above mentioned breaches to my human rights and further assist in a speedy recovery and this with immediate effect, in default of a positive response being received no later than 28 days from the date of this document (as detailed above), I will be left with no option but that of filing judicial proceedings without further notice to be adequately compensated for the human right to enjoyment of life that as a result of the said breaches, has affectively been lost.

Mr Bonnici, I trust that you understand my position and that I’m sure that can fully appreciate the need for justice, as it’s everyone’s human right.

I sincerely hope that this will not become necessary.

Yours faithfully,

Ms Anne Agius ID*225213L

Another letter to the Justice Minister of Malta

23/7/2015

Dear Owen Bonnici,

In conclusion to my 35 page document detailing the need for a maintenance order, I would like to request the following:

  • Copies and access to documents and concurrent notes from Australia that have been passed over; and any that are still on file with Maltese Authorities and/or Europol; and such documents mentioning outstanding concerns, including but not limited any investigation that have been (and may still be) carried out

  • Copies of Documents that both my husband and I filed with the Police Commissioner Office in Valletta regarding the ordeal with Gozo Police; and with the Ministry of Social Solidarity, that under my instruction were required to hand over to the Prime Minister of Malta, Mr Joesph Muscat (as it was mutually agreed with Ms Vicky Bugeja – Senior Social Worker)

  • Copies of Documents on file containing notes from the Ministry of Social Solidarity involving me and my husband, created upon seeking their assistance in November, 2014

  • My identification (deemed intellectual property) to be collected/brought over from Gozo Police Station, to enable me to collect them from the Ministry of Justice Head Office in Valletta

  • Copies of any documents on file and/or concurrent notes in EUROPOL’s possession that give mention to my name/s and that of my children; including any turn events and/or concerns from both Maltese and/or Australian authorities; any documents that mention my Maltese and Australian Family members; including but not limited Mental Health Bigamy Concerns

  • Copies of Local and/or international documents created in my name and/or concurrent notes regarding an Australian marriage that was supposedly valid at the time I married my Maltese husband in Cyprus on July 3rd of 2013; a marriage that I know nothing about

  • I would like to collect all other belongings of mine held with the Malta Police Force (since my time of arrival in Malta, 26th December, 2012 to date), including but not limited to my identification and backpack that was handed in while enduring homelessness, shoes and clothes…

  • I would like you to file an immediate Maintenance Order on my behalf since the President for the Commission of Domestic Violence has refused to represent me on legal aid; and/or gain your immediate consent via email reply to ag12@y7mail.com, to self-represent in all courts of Law in Malta

  • I would like to re-occupy 109 Conception Street in Msida and this with immediate affect (if you could also give me confirmation via the above listed email); a house governed by the Housing Authority – rent free until such time I gain employment

  • To gain your consent to be provided a guest account to access the internet at the IT Building in the Malta University, Msida Campus to continue my campaign, combatting violence women at the core and job hunting, etc…

  • If you could organise a Lap Top from Funds donated to the Community Chest Fund

  • If you could organise Food Vouchers from the Community Chest Fund, an application that was approved to me but not granted…

  • To make enquiries on my behalf with the registry of Birth, Death and Marriages in Western Australia, to confirm my marital status upon leaving the country to come to Malta (initially on holiday’s)

  • To retrieve my birth certificate, as so to update my Australian Passport – currently hold dual citizenship, both Maltese and Australian; and original marriage certificate from my husband to gain a certified copy of my own

  • Assist me to make a direct appointment with Mr Nigel Green, from DeVere for the purpose of Sponsorship and Employment, as I cannot get past his front line staff upon entry

  • My husband to publically apologise for false accusations of prostitution and drug offences, lies that he’s been spreading to remove much needed support services from my reach – effectively defaming me

  • And all this without the need for any interference from Social Workers; I’m not a baby and very competent, I don’t need them to hold my hand – in particular those who are governed by the Ministry of Social Solidarity – I do not wish to talking to any of them and should have to after everything that has transpired between me and them, as mentioned in this ‘court-ready report’…

  • Maintenance must be back paid (requesting 50% of all income earned by my husband) calculating from the time I was made homeless out of what my husband calls, punishment – a breach of my human right to a dignified life

  • Assist me in scheduling an appointment with our most respected Prime Minister of Malta, Mr Joseph Muscat; as I have no mobile telephone and therefore, the private secretary of Mr Muscat, Raymond, cannot make contact with me via telephone to confirm a mutually convenient time; nor has he responded to my requests to communicate via email reply for the purpose of scheduling such an appointment, which I require mainly for discussions regarding the Rehabilitation Centre for women and children of domestic violence, as per my attached proposal titled, ‘TrentEsta’.

This court-ready report will be coped to the HUDOC - European Court of Human Rights, for the attention of The President, Dean Spielmann – notice; and also the United Nations Commission on Human Rights; and Australian Authorities, as may be deemed necessary.

Mr Bonnici, I hope we can resolve this peacefully and promptly without the need to take the matter any further.

I trust you understand my position and I hope to hear back from you via this email reply before the 12th of August, 2015; 28 days of expiry from this report.

The following briefs to address this report, were posted on linked-in, Facebook and The Voicebohx Website:

…the neighbours and his work colleagues all blaming me for the family violence while his reputation remained intact and at the time he worked for AWAS, which was neighbouring The Commission for Domestic Violence, whom he became well acquainted with ensuring to exclude me. The Chairperson for the Commission of Domestic Violence who is also a legal aid representative, has refused to take my case upon my request; I have accepted her reason’s to be true however, I deem her the only legal representative qualified to take my very complicated case on legal aid funds… a case of domestic violence!

…name calling me of a degrading nature and telling me to go back to my country (Australia) and get out of his;;; which only in retaliation I stuck my middle finger at him, telling him that his penis where his brain lives, is no bigger than the tip of my middle finger.
