Corruption
Abstract
This chapters details the frustrations and problems Dr Langley faced with the Australian legal/justice system after close to two years of court proceedings battling Rob, who had used the flawed system to his advantage. His affidavits were full of lies, stating how he was the victim and that Dr Langley should be confined to a psychiatric ward, amongst other derogatory comments, and the judge believed him. Here, Dr Langley exposes the corruption and injustice within the Australian courts and highlights how they support the perpetrator (and the system itself) into being able to continue perpetrating further domestic violence on the victim post-separation. Finally managing to secure what she thought was a decent lawyer, Dr Langley continued to fight Rob in court. Furthermore, the police had transferred her case against Rob to the sexual crimes division; however, the officers there were horribly indifferent and incompetent, having done nothing with Dr Langley’s police statements for over a year and a half. When she voiced her complaint to the police Commissioner, once again, nothing was done. This severely impacted upon her court proceedings. It was then Dr Langley realized that the legal practitioners (judge and lawyers) and police officers were corrupt and had been bribed by Rob and his family.
