Due Process followed by Spencer - Communications with
Dr. Mike Kelly and PM Kevin Rudd

Peter Spencer continues Protest following 52 day Hunger Strike

As Peter Spencer recovers in hospital after ending his 52 day hunger strike he remains committed to continuing his protest. “My call on Mr. Rudd remains the same - establish a Royal Commission and pay the farmers, and if they think I am going to go away, they are wrong", said Peter Spencer.

Dr. Mike Kelly, Member for Eden-Monaro states that Peter Spencer has not followed Due Process. Please find below the letters which show that Spencer did in fact follow due process. The letters sent by Peter Spencer regarding this matter over the last 1½ years are listed below.

Dear Prime Minister,

The attached letter was sent to your predecessor, regrettably, no response from him, was forthcoming. As said in that letter I made a mistake voting for him. The lies and arrogance led me, for the first time, to vote for you. For me, as a farmer that was a big move.

I have noticed with interest, your attempt over the last 100 days to address many issues and source the views of the people. If you can take the time to look into the attached, then I would be very grateful. I am sure if you read the document, you will be repulsed by its contents especially as you appear to be a man of principle and I am certain you would be of the opinion we live under the Rule of Law, as our Constitution provides.

In regard to the substantive matter and the need for due process, I have met with and written today to my local member, Dr Mike Kelly MP, predominantly regarding carbon levels being – 130%. NOT 108% as reported in the past, to the UNFCCC, that is if one removes the carbon deception from Prime Minister Howard’s choreographed equation.

I have every confidence my local Member, Dr Kelly, will process my submission to him, through the appropriate channels and in due course address the issues raised in the submission, many of which are covered in the attached, Saarahnlee Entreatee.

As Prime Minister, I feel you would want to be informed of this matter, as I felt, mistakenly, the former Prime Minister would have been desirous of been so informed.. In this regard I was deeply disappointed..

I look forward to you being all you have said, on the record, what you want to be, now you are our Prime Minister. I am well aware morality, generally, has been in short supply for many, many years in politics and if you Sir can turn that around it will not only be most honourable but the people will be abundantly gracious in their response – and you will have in return, their very deep gratitude. To this end, I trust Prime Minister, you have girded your loins well, as I am sure, I have no need to tell you - your chosen sojourn, will not be an easy ride.

I, subsequently, wholesomely encourage you. I am pleased you are prepared to try. You have my support and most importantly, my prayers will be with you.

Sincerely,
Peter Spencer.

CC. The HON Dr Mike Kelly MP - May 2, 2008
On Monday, November 23, 2009 before embarking on his Hunger Strike Peter Spencer wrote a letter and submitted a detailed document outlining his request to the Prime Minister of Australia. Please find this letter below:

Peter Spencer
“Saarahnlee”
Shannon’s Flat, NSW 2630

The Prime Minister of Australia.
Mr. Kevin Rudd MP
Federal Parliament House
Canberra, ACT

Monday 23rd November 2009

To the Prime Minister of Australia Mr Kevin Rudd MP.

As you and your Government have decided to refuse me my Constitutional rights – see copy of letter attached below 2nd May 2008, I now am intending to take my plea to the people.

I have found your Ministers and Members – the ones referred to in correspondence, entirely immoral and as said in all my correspondence they have had every opportunity to rectify the injustice against the Australian Farmer/land owner. However they have refuse as you have done to act morally and as the Australian Constitution requires, as have the Courts and the Public Service.

However, as the head of the Australian Commonwealth Government, you must bear the burden for the theft of the entire Kyoto emission target being Mt – 87.5 CO2 – e. from the targeted farmers.

It is now my role to tell the world this is your standard of conduct – that is, you steal the entire commitment to meet this International treaty from your own people, being we the targeted Australian Farmers referred to in this submission at horrific cost and suffering to us.

Subsequently, my adopted course of action is as follows and once again I point out my response as presented here is entirely due to your failed response to our numerous pleas for justice on Just Terms and your deliberate cover up and deception of the entire expropriation of our assets.

I am now retiring to my property Saarahnlee and I will scale a 300 foot Wind Monitoring mast on the main cordillera of the property which is – the cordillera, a mile high. The Tower is located between the Mountain of Flinders and Roberts. I will remain there until that which I seek is agreed to.

I will ask the Australian People – those that have all the rights to this democracy NOT the mere servants of those people – as they those servants have proven they are not worthy to be given that trust – I will ask the people if I we the farmers are entitle to our constitutional rights in payment and by so receiving that payment enable Australia to meet its International treaty obligations in good faith and as a civilised State that does not steal its citizens property breaking even the most basic of human rights.

I will not be eating for the time on the Mast and I will not leave the Mast until the terms are met – there is no compromise, no negotiation and no discussion.

I have tried the protocol of being reasonable for 10 years. That opportunity has passed.

In the event my terms are agreed (See Terms as set out in the in Attachment – Actual Claims to the prime Minister) – that is the Government has agreed to behave Constitutionally, then I require a committee be established immediately to ensure the items raised here are all provided to totally fulfil to the detail all the matters raised here. The committee will require the funding of a commission of enquiry and these persons names are to be found in a signed letter at Saarahnlee if needed.

The role of the committee will include the terms of reference for the Royal Commission and the agreement of the appointment Commissioners to be appointed and all demands and all aspects of the payments in this document including the timing deadlines.

Further the committee’s brief is to include any other matters that the committee see as necessary to carry out there responsibly.

As you prepare for Copenhagen think of us the Australians who paid the entire Carbon tab while you rewarded the polluters the power stations and the coal industries and lied to the people about our role….

Please do not lie in Copenhagen tell the world how you achieved your targets and the fact you stole your achievement.

I beg you to show the world this submission and attachments and see if they applaud you as the white knight of global warming as I will be placing it on the web and in the hands of the global media.

Thank you.

Regretfully

Peter Spencer

Attached to the letter Spencer wrote to PM Rudd in November was a copy of his previous letter dated May, 2008. Both were sent via member Dr. Kelly, which his office confirmed via email. Included with the letter was a full submission to the Prime Minister which had also been sent to the former Prime Minister, Mr. Howard. The full submission referred specifically to the substantive matter being the fact that UNFCCC figures relating to the entire tonnage of carbon used to meet the Kyoto Commitment have been stolen from farmers. This is also referred to in paragraph 3 of the letter dated May 2008.

Receipt of the submission was confirmed by member Dr. Kelly’s office. According to due process it was expected that the submissions would be directed by Dr. Kelly to the portfolio of Minister Wong and further submitted to PM Rudd. Wongs’ response along with the PM’s response should have been returned to Spencer by member Dr. Kelly. Subsequent follow-up enquiries to both letters failed to obtain any response. So in fact it is member Dr. Kelly and the Government that have failed to follow due process, not Spencer.

On January 17, 2009 Spencer states that “the Australian Government has still not responded to any of these documents, Dr. Kelly had 18 months to respond to me before I started my hunger strike, I am yet to receive a response regarding his carriage of my submissions to Wong and the Prime Minister.”
Due process has been followed by Peter Spencer and Dr. Kelly was involved in this process from the beginning.
