Kevin Rudd passes the buck on human rights abuses

Prime Minister Rudd has consistently ignored the civil rights of a young schoolboy and judicial corruption victim. The boy was forced from school in grade 7 due to severe school bullying and ordered to pay Education Queensland more than $ 28,000 in legal costs for the privilege of it, based on the 1851 Infants Law Act.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
The unrepresented Australian teenager and his mother Jennifer Nash have repeatedly stated that they were bullied in the Queensland Anti Discrimination Tribunal and the Queensland Supreme Court.
That they were not heard, that the law was repeatedly misapplied and that their courtroom audiotapes and transcripts were repeatedly severely edited to pervert the course of justice, as she told Brisbane Radio 4BC.

Her claims are corroborated by a retired court reporter’s signed and sworn statutory declaration and others.
Mr Rudd has ignored Ms Nash since he became Prime Minister and has declined to meet with her or respond to her correspondence.
He has passed the buck back to Queensland Labor Attorney General Cameron Dick, who like his predecessor Kerry Shine has refused to acknowledge the family since he was sworn into office in March.
Mr Dick has refused to explain to Parliament why he has ignored all her correspondence and phone calls and declined to meet with her like he did with foreign nationals.
John Mickel the former Queensland Labor Transport Minister and now Speaker of the House has declined to represent Ms Nash and her son who are his local constituents.
Labor Prime Minister Rudd may well be disappointed in not getting American media coverage for his recent UN speech, but that is nothing compared to the distress Ms Nash and her long suffering son are experiencing due to his dogged refusal to put party politics aside, intervene and show true leadership as a world leader on the international stage.
In Australia Mr Rudd is referred to as ‘The Honourable’ Mr Rudd, but is this sort of behaviour really honourable and befitting of a world leader demanding respect?
Due to lack of press freedom this matter has not been reported in Australia.
