		<description>Corrupt Judges in Sydney Australia

Thanks for the news on corrupt judges. Here in Sydney, Australia i am having to deal with corrupt judges as well and need all the help i can get.

NSW State Supreme Court judge Paul Brereton is currently under investigation by the NSW Judicial Commission. Chief Executive of the NSW Judicial Commission, Mr Ernie Schmatt, initially received the complaints in January 2009. 

It is claimed in Sharpless  V  McKibbin Justice Brereton knowingly lied and deceived 121 times in his 41 page double spaced judgement. Justice Hamilton was initially hearing the case but resigned day two of the eight day case without stating the explicit reason for his resignation. 

Plaintiff Sharpless&#039;s solicitor was then called to Chief Justice Spiegelman&#039;s office and told Justice Brereton was appointed to hear the case.

The defendant Paul McKibbin was the former deputy director of an Australian intelligence agency, senior intelligence analyst and Royal Australian Navy Commander.

Justice Paul Brereton is a current military reservist, military judge, and a  State Supreme Court Judge. Justice Brereton said he did not believe he would be biased in his judgement. This proved to be totally incorrect.

Plaintiff Sharpless was told his court case would have to be completely recommenced with large additional costs if he did not accept Justice Brereton as the new judge. Plaintiff Sharpless was additionally told it would be more then 12 months before the case could be heard in the NSW Supreme court if he did not accept Justice Brereton.

The plaintiffs initial complaints to the NSW Judicial commission also included the actions of Justice Hamilton and the actual reasons for his resignation from Sharpless V McKibbbin. Once informed of the complaint Justice Hamilton seemingly prematurely retired. Sharpless&#039;s solicitor has also sought legal advice concerning his meeting with NSW Supreme court Chief Justice Spigelman.

This is not the first time Justice Brereton has been accused of bias. A previous case being Rolah McCabe tobacco litigation where the law firm Slater &amp; Gordon suceeded in having Justice Brereton disqualify himself.

The current allegations against Justice Brereton are many. They include knowingly perverting the course of justice multiple times and more seriously using his judicial position to conspire with his employer, the Australian Defence Force to enable cover-ups of major criminal activity by members of the ADF including the defendant. The allegations and investigations against Justice Brereton also include perverting the course of justice to cover-up the attempted murder of the plaintiff. The actual events meantioned in the Supreme court were over a 16 year period.

Despite the investigations and complaints Justice Brereton is still making judgements in Supreme Court cases and Paul Sharpless is still waiting for action by the NSW Judicial Commission. 

This is &quot;Law and Order in real time.&quot;  The story is still occuring.</description>
