Letter to Ms Judy Spence, Minister for Police

Dear Ms Spence,

Your enclosed letter of 12th appears to have been hastily prepared by an adviser. What it says reflects initial police advice to you but the police subsequently admitted that the advice was wrong.

The police subsequently admitted that constable Turgeon LOST the ID card shortly after I handed it to her and also lost all the information on it -- so could not proceed with the matter in any way -- let alone draw conclusions about the owner of the card.

So the situation still stands that police negligence has made it impossible for me or anyone else to recover my stolen possessions -- despite there being a good initial chance of my doing so.

Please reopen my compensation request. I would be reluctant to initiate court action against the constable.

Yours faithfully,


Dr John Ray
