AN ACCIDENT AND THE COVER-UP
If I was to kill somebody, I would be charged with murder or
manslaughter. If I paralysed or maimed somebody I am sure I would
be charged with causing grievous bodily harm...

AN ACCIDENT AND THE COVER-UP
dislocating completely. I passed out instantly. I was later
told that the dislocation occurred at T1 and T2, which
are the two vertebrae below my neck. The massive
amount of broken bone there certainly supports or
confirms this.
When a dislocation happens at T1 and T2 it is often
fatal. When 2.3 tonne of Toyota crushes down on anexposed spinal cord, it will sever the neural link
between the brain and the heart and is deadly.
My vertebrae at T2 was crushed to pieces. It even
crushed the vertebrae below at T3. Every vertebrae
bone in my back was compressed down. The spaces
between the vertebrae in my back have been reduced.
When the side window imploded against the left side of
my head it fractured my skull. The Toyota cart-wheeled,
bounced and rolled for about 100 metres.
Pieces of bone were smashed away from my spine at my
neck and back from where I was hit. I will never know
how many times I was hit or how many times the
Toyota rolled.
A piece of steel penetrated my seat from behind hitting
me extremely hard in the upper spine at T5, right behind
my heart. It woke me up very suddenly feeling pain in
my spine. My spine behind my heart is severely broken.
Blow kick-started my heartThe blow seemed to have kick-started my heart. I never
felt the hit at T5, I knew I had been hit immediately
after though. I awoke in extreme pain after the hit. I
was aware we were still rolling. I repositioned myself to
avoid being hit in the same place again. I took the next
hit in my lower back at T10 instead. Several vertebrae
and ribs were smashed and broken as a result. After that
I turned slightly side on.
The vehicle rolled another four times leaving massive
bruises in my left kidney or abdominal area. I finished
with many fractures and broken bones, most of them in
my spine.
The Toyota finished on its roof with the front of the
vehicle facing towards Kiwirrkurri, the same direction
we had come from. This indicated the vehicle had
flipped or cart-wheeled. The only space big enough to
squeeze out of was the drivers side window. The driver
unbuckled and slid out of her side window. I then

unbuckled and intended to get out the same way. When
I moved my head dragged along the ground. It was lim
and floppy and would not move with my body.
My upper vertebrae had dislocated completely. I picke
my head up with my hands and it was like trying to hol
up a watermelon or a bowling ball. I was going to try t
get out of the vehicle while holding my head in myhands but I soon gave up on the idea. I probably would
have been paralysed in the process.
Decided to re-attach my head
I came up with other ideas that were just as dangerous
and futile. We were in the most remote place in
Australia and the nearest doctor or hospital was 700
kilometres away. Under the circumstances I decided to
re-attach my head by forcing it back in the same way it
came out. I had no idea what would happen and I
assumed there was a much greater chance of paralysing
myself than succeeding.
The first several attempts failed. Eventually I tried usin
my left arm as a lever above my head and pulled down
toward my torso as hard as I could. I tried using both
arms as levers and tried to jolt or yank it back into
place. I tore my left shoulder out instead.
I decided to sacrifice my left arm and gave it everythin
I could. I yanked down three consecutive times as hard
as possible. It clicked in after the third yank. Not onlywas my head re-attached and moving as part of my bod
again but my muscles even worked and I could turn my
head left or right. I then crawled out of the vehicle.
After the accident I knew I had been killed, I knew my
head had been torn off from my vertebrae, I was certain
my skull was fractured and I was certain my neck had
been broken. I also knew my left shoulder was injured.
tore that myself while trying to re-attach my head.
After getting out of the vehicle I sat down and fell into
sleep while the driver called for help on the satellite
phone.
What had happened was an accident. It was caused by
stupidity, irresponsible behaviour and bad decision
making by the Education Department and the driver.
The accident was avoidable and should not have
happened. Nevertheless it still was an accident. Nothin
illegal had happened, and the same mistakes will be
made again many times in future.

AN ACCIDENT AND THE COVER-UP
When people arrived at the scene I told them
my skull and neck seem to be fractured or
broken. I was ignored and my injuries were
not checked. I was taken back to Kiwirrkurra
Community. The nearest doctor or hospital was 700
kilometres away in Alice Springs.
I told people I had head and neck injuries and that I
needed an anti-inflammatory to reduce the swelling. I
was in a critical condition and I informed the relevant
authorities. I can not for the life of me understand why I
was not medi-vacced to a hospital considering the
severity of my injuries.
Six vertebrae bones in my neck have been broken or
fractured. My skull was fractured and most of the
vertebrae bones in my back have been broken or
fractured or crushed. Some of my ribs have been
smashed to pieces. I had head and spinal injuries and
severe pain and swelling
The day after the accident a truck was sent from Alice
Springs 700 kilometres into the Gibson Desert to pick
up the wrecked Toyota. The vehicle was a right-off. It
was transported to a wrecking yard in Alice Springs.
PAGE 5
THE COVER UPThe events that followed were no accident
and no mistake.
Removing the worthless wreckage from the most
isolated region of desert in Australia appeared to have
been an urgent priority. I had to wait in Kiwirrkurra in
critical condition with head and spinal injuries for four
days following the accident. I eventually boarded a ma
plane to Alice Springs in Central Australia.
It was five days after the accident when I had X-rays
taken of my skull, neck and back. I was very
disorientated and drowsy for two weeks after the
accident. I was told I had a minor fracture to my skull
but no fractures in my neck or back.
Did not suspect
After the accident there was plenty of communication ocollaboration between the community health worker,
school principal, and Alice Springs Hospital and police
At the time I did not suspect there was any scamming
going on. I was too drowsy and disorientated to think
clearly at the time. About a week after having X-rays I
saw a surgeon who contradicted what I had been told
about my injuries. He told me I should not go back to
work and I should not travel on unsealed roads again.
He told me I had suffered a dislocation at the T1 and T

vertebraes. He said it would be loose or unstable for
the rest of my life. He handed me my X-rays and
pointed out broken bone in my neck telling me it was
nothing to worry about. I was told the pain and swelling
in my neck and back should subside after two weeks.
The swelling and pain lasted more than a year. What he
told me jogged my memory back to the accident. It
reminded me of the procedure I had performed on my
own vertebrae while in the wrecked vehicle. When I saw
the X-rays it was obvious that my neck had been
fractured multiple times.
Despite having severe injuries including broken bones
and spinal injuries, I could not get any medical
treatment because of the inaccurate medical and
radiology reports.
Once incorrect radiology reports have been written, no
other radiologist or doctor will contradict or disputethem. All following X-ray and radiology reports follow
suit and repeat the same misinformation. The
communication and computer network systems would
likely ensure that no conflicting data occurs.
Information omitted
Some doctors and specialists have acknowledged
broken and fractured bones while talking to me but
always omit this information in written medical reports.
Many doctors and specialists refuse to look at X-raysand MRIs, they will only read the written radiology
reports. They will not contradict a radiology report. For
some reason doctors medical reports are never sent to
me by doctors. Doctors send their reports to the state
Insurance Commission who eventually send me a
version. Similar omissions are made from all doctors
reports.
Neurological and spinal injuries are always omitted from
the doctors medical report before they are sent to me.
These reports seldom reflect any discussions orconsultations I have had.
The insurance commission got two doctors to write
inaccurate medical reports which omit my injuries. This
stopped me from receiving workers compensation
payments.
The false medical reports also prevented me from
receiving accurate medical advice and medical
treatment. They knew I had spinal injuries that could
cripple or kill me. They also knew I have many broken
bones in my neck and back causing severe pain. They
also knew Id had a headache (which is a neurological
symptom) ever-since the accident. This was caused by
spinal cord compression. My spinal cord is being
compressed in many places in my neck and back as a
result of fractured bones and herniated disks. The spina
head-ache is very disruptive to the brains functioning
and can be fatal.
My spinal cord has been on the threshold of paralysing
me since the accident. Any movement from a piece of
broken bone or any swelling from a knock or fall woul
be enough to paralyse me.
The injuries to my shoulder, back, neck and ribs restric
movement and have caused pain ever since the acciden
Since the accident I have had to get medical advice and
treatment including spinal surgery from other countriesoverseas at my own expense.
I had to sell my home to pay these costs. I have had no
income or livelihood for two years since the accident. I
have not been able to work.
Attempting to work could be dangerous considering th
condition of my spine, broken ribs and the compression
on my spinal cord. No employer would be able to insur
me.
My main priority since the accident has been trying tostay alive and to avoid paralysis. This has been like
walking a thin tight-rope. So far I have just succeeded
by the narrowest of margins. To date I have only just
barely managed to do this. I have had no help in
Australia.
Nine months after the accident I went overseas for
medical advice. Overseas I was told I was nine months
too late and my back should have been braced after the
accident to prevent the reduction in intervertebral spac
height. My body height appears to have been reduced.
These injuries can not be corrected or treated now.
On 1 December 2009 I went to a public hospital in
Perth Western Australia with an MRI and some
photocopied images of spinal injuries in my neck. After
explaining my symptoms and showing staff the images
the administrative staff prioritised me and queue jumpe
me, ahead of other patients in emergency. I was sent to
triage to see a doctor.

becoming a quadriplegic. I was told that all I needed
was a bump to the head or neck to finish me off.
The spinal headache I have had ever since the accident
is a warning sign that my spinal cord is being
compressed too much.
I returned to Australia and tried to relay this diagnosis
to doctors in Perth. This was futile because of the falseradiology reports. Two doctors told me that the Filipin
neurosurgeon was lying to me.
Filipino doctor was right
Four months later my headache escalated very severely
and I had neurological symptoms in my arms and legs.
When I tried walking my legs would give in and I woul
fall. I had pins and needles in both my arms. The Filipin
neurosurgeon had been dead right but it appeared as
though it might have been too late to have surgery.
I flew to the Philippines in a serious condition and had
spinal surgery in Manila. I am sure I would not have
been allowed on the flight if the airline had have known
of my condition.
During a seven hour operation most time was spent
removing bone spurs (damaged bone) from inside my
cervical spinal canal.
I had four herniated disks in my neck. The two most
damaged disks were removed. One disk was replaced
with an artificial disk. The other disk was replaced with
a bone graft and fusion.
I also had a foraminotamy to decompress a nerve root
The surgery was aimed at trying to reduce spinal cord
compression. My spinal cord is compressed throughou
most of my neck, so it was a hope and see operation.
The worst damage to my spinal cord appeared to be in
my lower neck (C5 to C7). It was assumed that
decompressing my spinal cord here would reducesymptoms and prevent paralysis. Fortunately he got it
right and I have not had any neurological symptoms in
my arms or legs since.
My spinal head-ache has been reduced and is a milder
head-ache now. The spinal head-ache is a still an
indication that my cervical spinal cord is still
compressed.
The surgery has given me an extension of time.
PAGE 7
I went to a hospital in Perth on 1 December2009 with these images and explained my
symptoms. I showed these same images to aneurosurgeon in Manila Philippines in
September 2010.
Evicted from Australian hospital
About 20 minutes later a young doctor saw me, he
called me a liar and evicted me from the hospitalwithout checking my injuries.
Nine months later I showed the very same images and
an MRI to a neurosurgeon in the Philippines. He
advised me to have spinal surgery urgently to
decompress my spinal cord. He told me I would become
a quadriplegic without the surgery.
This surgeon seemed to know his stuff. He even
explained in detail the symptoms I would get just before

AN ACCIDENT AND THE COVER-UP
The false medical reports, the lying and the scamming
have been obvious. The injuries and broken bones Ihave are numerous and are very noticeable. Their
severity is unmistakeable. These injuries are not minor
injuries. I have been very close to being paralysed
following the accident.
The doctors I saw in Australia were aware of my head-
ache and spinal injuries. The doctors kept making the
same omissions in their reports, then the insurance
commission would despatched the false reports to me.
PAGE 8
The scamming seems very obvious and does not appea
to be a coincidence.
Every injury from the accident has either been omitted
or obscured or downgraded in the medical and
radiology reports. The lying is done with such
complacency that it would appear to be a common
practice.
Three months after the accident I found the school
Toyota at a wrecking yard in Alice Springs and took th
following photographs.

When my neck was being crushed all the vertebrae bones compressed against each other fracturing six of

were squashed and herniated out. Four of the cervical disks herniated inside my spinal canal,
compressing my spinal cord. Compressed vertebrae bone was crushed and flattened. Damaged pieces of bone also
encroached inside my spinal canal, compressing my spinal cord (See pages 19, 20). My compressed spinal cord has
caused neurological symptoms including a spinal headache. The restriction of cerebrospinal fluid getting to my brai

The bones and herniated disks encroaching into
my spinal canal cause neurological symptoms. I
have had a spinal headache ever since the
accident.
The passage of cerebrospinal fluid through my spinal
cord is obstructed and restricted. This also restricts the
flow of cerebrospinal fluid to my brain. This causes a
headache. It is similar to having a permanent hangover.
The compression of my spinal cord also causes spinal
stenosis, myelopathy and paraesthesia.
The broke bones, spinal cord injuries and neurological
symptoms are always left out of the Australian medical
reports. It would seem as though nobody wants to upset
the Education Department or State Insurance
Commission, everyone seems to just go along with the
cover-up.
Some of these injuries are unstable. I have been on the
threshold of being paralysed ever since the accident.
Some swelling from a fall might be enough to possibly
paralyse me.
Surgery in the Philippines
In February 2011 my neurological symptoms worsened
I was falling over and had paresthesia in my arms and
legs. I flew from Australia to the Philippines in a severe
condition and had spinal surgery in Manila.
The false radiology and medical reports in Australia ha
prevented me from getting accurate diagnosis and

AN ACCIDENT AND THE COVER-UP
PAGE 23
The injuries to my skull and neck were very bad.
The injuries at T1 and T2 were much worse.
T1 and T2 are the two top back vertebrae
bones. They are just below the neck. During the first
roll-over my head was being torn off while my neck wasbeing crushed. I knew my head was going to come off
and I assumed it was going to kill me.
I braced and resisted with every ounce of strength I had.
Everything happened quick and simultaneously. When
my spine dislocated my lights went out and there was
nothing.
Regained consciousness
A little while later I got hit very hard in the spine behind
my heart. I suddenly regained consciousness feelingextreme pain from the hit to my spine.
After the accident I had difficulty trying to move and
could not get out of the wrecked vehicle. My head was
floppy and limp. It dragged along the ground when I
attempted to move. It was a complete dislocation.
I attempted to re-attach my broken spine. I did not
know what was going to happen. I succeeded without
paralysing myself.
Twelve days after the accident a surgeon told me I had
suffered a dislocation at T1-T2. He told me it would be
weak and loose for the rest of my life. He warned me
not to travel on unsealed roads.
For a T1-T2 dislocation, the vertebrae need to fracture
My vertebrae are definitely fractured at T1-T2. My rib
have completely broken away from my spine, which is
what happens when a dislocation occurs at T1-T2. It
takes a massive amount of force to snap the spine at T
T2 because the spine is re-enforced by the thoracic ribs
A 2.3 tonne Toyota land-cruiser rolling at 100
kilometres per hour has enough force to snap or
dislocate the spine at T1-T2. 2.3 tonne of steal rolling
out of control at 100 kilometres an hour will snap andshatter any human bone.
My spinal vertebrae at T2 looks like over two tonne of
weight has smashed down on it. It appears to have
crushed down after my head and neck were torn away.
This weight also crushes down on an exposed,
unprotected spinal cord. This severs the neural link
between the brain and the heart. This type of injury fro
a roll-over often cuts the spinal cord in two. There are

AN ACCIDENT AND THE COVER-UP
BROKEN BACK,BROKEN RIBS
Nearly every bone in my back has fractured (see
page 11). Many of my ribs have fractured also.
I wont display every fracture because there are
too many. I will just highlight some examples.
My back was hit and crushed multiple times.
After my head was torn off my remaining torso appears
to have been crushed downward from top to bottom.
My spine would have been compressed like an
accordian or a concertina.
There are multiple compression fractures (wedging) in
my back spine.
Hit multiple times
I was also hit extremely hard multiple times in my back.
The Toyota roof folded down on me breaking pieces of
bone frome my neck and upper back.
An object smashed through my seat from behind, hitting
me in the back multiple times. They were heavy blows
which would smash and fracture several vertebrae bones
with the each hit. They had a similar affect to a brick
hammer smashing a clay brick. It would shatter the
vertebrae bone to pieces.
PAGE 28
My ribs have been smashed completely away from my
spine in multiple places. I have many fractured ribs as a
result.
I was hit a number of times while I was dead. A veryhard hit in my spine, right behind my heart seemed to
have kick-started my heart. So while my back has been
severely fractured in many places, I seem to have got
my life back by one of these blows.
Although I should be taking the good with the bad, it i
very hard to be happy when most of your spine has bee
smashed to pieces.
I have many symptoms and plenty of pain from the bac
injuries. Spinal cord compression in my neck makes itdifficult to differentiate between neck and back spinal
cord symptoms.
When I went to hospital with myolepathy after falling
several times, I found out I had additional neurological
symptoms. I was informed they were likely attributed t
spinal cord compression in my back.
I have many fractures as well as two herniated disks in
my lumbar spine. The two hernited disks are

compressing my spinal cord. Compression fractures are
squashing a nerve root coming out of my spinal cord in
my lumbar spine area. This causes symptoms in my legs
as well as severe back pain. I have different symptoms
and restrictions in my upper back.
My spinal canal has been altered in shape and size in
multiple places along my spine. This occurs in my backas well as my neck.
There are pieces of fractured bone impinging upon my
spinal cord in multiple places. It is impossible to predict
the consequences if I slip or fall awkwardly.
My spine seems to be just barely holding together and
my spinal cord has been functioning under extreme
duress since the accident on 14 August 2009. Much of
my spinal cord no longer has the protection it once had
from an intact normal spinal canal. My spinal cord is
exposed and very vulnerable to trauma (possible
paralysis) in the future. Other organs appear less
protected or vulnerable to injury because of the
fractures to my ribs.
Many of my ribs have been broken and smashed beyond
repair.
Every fracture and injury to my spine, ribs and spinal
cord has been denied in Australia.
This denies me compensation or salary. It also denies
me medical treatment and medical advice in Australia.
Despite the numerous injuries and their severity nearly
every injury has been covered up. Once a cover-up has
began in Australia doctors tend to go along with it. Nodoctor would want to be the first one to expose wrong
doing, corruption or malpractice by fellow doctors.
No doctor would want to blow the whistle on a cover-
up. Their financial rewards are very high. They would
not want to jepardise this.
Even when the doctors know that their lies and
malpractice could lead to me being paralysed, they still
lie and go along with the cover-up. Nobody seems
willing to rock the apple-cart, or to upset a major
government institution. Many doctors would obviously
be aware that what they are doing is wrong. They know
that upsetting a government institution like the
insurance commission would be a big mistake for them
This denies me compensation and salary. It also denies
me medical treatment and medical advice in Australia.
Every time the vehicle rolleda hard object would hit me in
my spine in my upper back.It would hit me with bulletspeed. It had more than twotonne of weight behind it. Itwould hit three or fourvertebrae bones at a time. Itwould smash and shattermy vertebrae bones similarto the way a brick hammerwill shatter a clay brick.
Everytime the Toyota
landcrusier rolled over thevehicle weight pushed downon my head-rest.

Since the accident it

from sleeping on myleft side. It restricts
exercise and physical

It has prevented me

Medical specialists and other relevant agencies
in Australia would have had to have been
aware of the severity of my injuries. Maybe it
was assumed I would not survive this long. It is easy to
bury or cremate evidence after someones gone.
I have found out that the Philippines has some of the
best doctors and surgeons in the world. The surgery I
had in the Philippines was very difficult and complex
because of my numerous injuries and their severity.
There would probably be few other surgeons who could
have performed the surgery successfully. Being denied
medical treatment in Australia and going to the
Philippines for surgery just may have saved my life and
may have been a blessing in disguise.
Just how much longer I can survive or live without
being paralysed is uncertain. My intention before the
motor vehicle accident was to live as long as I could.
The human body has an amazing capacity to heal itself
and to adapt to changes. You need to pay in kind to
expect your body to do the best job it possibly can.
When most bones in your neck, back and rib-cage are
broken or smashed it is placing a lot of demand on your

body. Much of my spinal canal has altered in shape and
size. It is now narrower in some places and wider in
other areas. My spinal cord from top to bottom is bein
pushed to its limit trying to adapt. Despite my injuries
my spinal cord is functioning but doing so under
extreme duress. Compression of my spinal cord reduce
the flow of cerebrospinal fluid between my spine and
brain. It is like asking my brain to function with a
continuous hang-over 24/7 with no recovery ever in
sight.
The vehicle roll-over was an accident. It was caused by
stupidity but nothing unlawful had happened. The
cover-up that followed was no accident and was not
lawful. Denying me medical treatment after the accidenwas not lawful. I was left in the desert in a critical
condition with a fractured skull and broken neck for
four days. When I finally got to a hospital they wrote
incorrect medical reports denying my injuries and
denying me of any medical treatment in Australia.
Trying to defend and protect a cover-up always seems
to escalate things. More often than not the cover-up
becomes bigger and more serious than the initial
incident.

Every injury from the

The lying is done with
such complacencythat it would appear to
be a common practice.
