For those
who could not figure out why ASPA (Vic) paid $1567 in legal fees as per their financial statement of 2015:
(1) In 2008 a committee
of ASPA (Vic) took a wrong disciplinary decision against Mohammed Hegazi.
Members of that committee included, among others, Carol Johnsen, Marj Miller,
Norma Fisher and Trevor Halsall.
(2) In 2011 an
internal review by Carol Johnsen and Norma Fisher not only refused to annul the wrong
disciplinary decision of 2008, but also denied other uninvolved members of the committee the chance of participation in the review process.
(3) In 2012 an ASPA
(Vic) delegation comprised of Carol Johnsen, Marj miller and Trevor halsall vs
Mohammed Hegazi and Harry Malcolm attended a meeting at the Dispute Settlement
Centre of Victoria, Department of Justice. The delegation refused to annul the
wrong disciplinary decision of 2008. The basic argument raised by Trevor
Halsall at the meeting was that Mohammed Hegazi had cheated at scrabble
tournaments. Such argument was later proven false. Its sole perpetrator (KR) was proven a liar by the tournament director (Geoff Wright).
(4) In 2015 a
magistrate issued an order nullifying the disciplinary decision of 2008, based on an agreement by ASPA(Vic) that such decision was wrong.
(5) Had the dispute
been settled the same way at the Dispute Settlement Centre in 2012, the cost to all parties would
have been $00,000.00
(6) The incompetent parties are still seeking positions on a new Committee. I wish ASPA (Vic) a merry Christmas and a happy 2016 new year.
