If what I have just summarised does not seem to make sense, there is a good reason for this.  It does not seem to make sense because it does NOT make sense.  Ms Jack and those acting under her orders do not place a priority on making sense.  They are determined to punish Lift Cancer Care Services for daring to call them out for breaking the law and being happy to let cancer sufferers die because once they are dead, they are very unlikely to complain and cause trouble or sleepless nights to Ms Jack and those who follow her orders. The most recent behaviour of HCF is both unlawful and complete bull***t – and you must be personally aware of this. Why I Am Writing to Your Personal Email Address You are probably annoyed that I am writing this letter to you and you are probably even more annoyed that I am addressing it to your personal email address.  There is a reason for this. My first letter to you was dated 11 April 2022.  It was addressed to you at your published HCF email address.  All letters to directors dated 11 April were addressed to them at their published HCF email addresses.  This Table sets out the fate of those letters Name of Director Email Address Letter Was Sent To Date and Time Letter Was Emailed Fate of the Emailed Letter Mark G Johnson mjohnson@hcf.com.au 3:03 pm on 11 April 2022; and 11:30 pm on 12 April 2022 Apparently delivered Terry Agnew tagnew@hcf.com.au 3:06 pm 11 April 2022 Delivery failure – “Unknown address error 550-‘5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied.  AS (201806281) John M Barrington jbarrington@hcf.com.au 3:07 pm 11 April 2022 This mailbox is no longer active.  To contact Sheena Jack, HCF’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, email sjack@hcf.com.au Michael J Bassingthwaighte mbassingthwaighte@hcf.com.au 3:09 pm 11 April 2022 Delivery failure – “Unknown address error 550-‘5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied.  AS (201806281) Catherine H Hallinan challinan@hcf.com.au 3:10 pm 11 April 2022 Delivery failure – “Unknown address error 550-‘5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied.  AS (201806281) Sheena Jack sjack@hcf.com.au 3:11 pm 11 April 2022 Email response 5:05 pm 11 April 2022 “I will commence an investigation immediately and will provide a response as soon as possible” Claire L Jackson cjackson@hcf.com.au 3:12 pm 11 April 2022 Delivery failure – “Unknown address error 550-‘5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied.  AS (201806281) Lisa M McIntyre lmcintyre@hcf.com.au 3:14 pm 11 April 2022 Delivery failure – “Unknown address error 550-‘5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied.  AS (201806281) Christopher E Wright cwright@hcf.com.au 3:15 pm 11 April 2022 Delivery failure – “Unknown address error 550-‘5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied.  AS (201806281) Based on the fate of the great majority of the letters that I have attempted to send to the Directors of HCF on 11 April 2022, I draw the following (obvious) inferences. Because I have been persistently writing to HCF pointing out its refusal to obey the law, Ms Jack instructed the relevant computer people to alert her whenever any emails from johnhankin@internode.on.net were sent to HCF.  I imagine this instruction ensured that any emails from me automatically went to Ms Jack before being received by the designated addressee. When my letter addressed to you was sent at 3:03 on 11 April 2022, Ms Jack was alerted to the receipt of the letter, quickly scanned it and saw that similar letters were being sent to all Directors. To try and ensure that my letters did not get received by the Directors, Ms Jack ordered the relevant computer people to quickly disable and disconnect all Director email addresses except that for you and herself. Because of what happened on 11 April 2022, I am of the view that any attempt to write to you or any other Director at the HCF email address will be permitted only on such terms (if any) as might be imposed by Ms Jack at the time. Because any attempt to communicate with you or your fellow Directors has a high chance of failing if the communication is addressed through the HCF address, using the HCF email addresses is a waste of time. Ms Jack’s prime consideration in relation to this sad and tawdry affair is protection of herself and her cronies – not obedience of the law. The Legal Exposure of HCF Directors In my letter to you dated 11 April 2022, I concluded by saying this. “I recommend that you commence an immediate investigation into the atrocious conduct by the company of which you are a Director.  It is your personal duty to take immediate effective steps to bring this conduct to an end.  Now that I have alerted you personally to what your company has been doing, any failure by you to bring an end to this conduct will entail personal liability by you for that conduct.  I hope that a desire to stamp out evil behaviour might provide a sufficient incentive for you to act appropriately.  If morality is not a sufficient incentive for upright action, perhaps fear of the personal consequences for you will provide the necessary impetus.” In my letter dated 11 April 2022, I provided you and your fellow Directors with detailed information about the crimes being committed by the company of which you are all Directors.  Because you have been provided with such detailed information, it is legally impossible for any of you to claim that you have no legal liability because you were unaware of what has been happening.  Once you were provided with the relevant information, the law required all of you to take appropriate action to bring an end to that unlawful conduct.
