I was standing on a platform at Flinders Street station in Melbourne on the evening of Saturday 20th August 2022, when I suddenly became extremely unwell and ended up in the emergency department of a hospital before being diagnosed with cancer (& anaemia caused by a sudden substantial blood loss) several days later, after & while politicians have illegally stopped me having a replacement Australian passport in my own identity so I can just peacefully live in my own home in Breizh, France with compensation, because the true legal reality is I could only at the latest have automatically aged out of draconian adoption legislation as an adult.
I have agreed an ‘Advanced Care Directive’ with family members.
I would be… curious to see any politician claiming to any jury it is lawful and proportionate to stop an adopted person who has cancer (as either a teenager or adult because it could just as easily have happened to me as a teenager) having freedom of movement with a replacement Australian passport in my own identity because I refuse to comply with the anything but compassionate draconian adoption legislation. It is a legal absurdity to claim that a random cohort of vulnerable children do not automatically age out of care arrangements as adults because of a political label called adopted.
I am not certain that I have ever needed to open an additional case or legal proceedings from the original case of 352 about my adoption that is connected to any subsequent legal proceedings, because I was clearly unlawfully arrested on 21st December 2021 inside and outside the County Court in Melbourne, for no other reason than because politicians have illegally sought to stop my… statement that I am not legally obliged to comply with draconian adoption legislation, being properly recorded. It is clearly unlawful for politicians to stop my statement that I am not legally obliged to comply with draconian adoption legislation being properly recorded by the court, which is where politicians would have to argue it, before a jury with a recognised defence in law. I have always maintained that politicians do not have a recognised defence in law to put before a jury so draconian legislation is nullified.
It is undeniable that draconian adoption legislation has caused me nothing but prolonged and life threatening physical and emotional harm and distress.
I was expected as a child to suffer adoption in silence, just like as an adult women we are supposed to suffer cancer that women experience in silence too.
I reflect on a particularly distressing fact I would not have got cancer in Melbourne, Australia, if politicians who knew I was already unwell with… separate autoimmune illnesses, had acknowledged, as legally obliged to, that people adopted in Australia, do not need to return to Australia and pay money to and have the ‘permission’ of a court in Australia to be free from draconian adoption legislation. One true legal reality is politicians and courts have been legally obliged to confirm an adopted person acquired any nationalities and citizenships in our own right and as necessary that we can choose to keep or not, because where ‘anomalies’ have all too frequently arisen because courts often did not originally properly record such central legal issues, politicians and courts have illegally been punishing the adopted person, who could not possibly be at fault. As I have pointed out, including through my own experience, it is easier to as an adult get a divorce with an out of court settlement without needing to return to the country where I was married.
It is true that with the multiplicity of serious illnesses, I am now struggling to even do every day physical tasks, which is obviously made worse by not having suitable housing, while having to try and process quite a considerable amount of complex information, while seriously ill. If I am being honest, I have felt better.
I have missed out on a family life that included being able to… enjoy living in my own nature lovers paradise in Breizh, France these past few years, while my physical health has clearly suffered in Australia because of draconian adoption legislation. So I can very clearly see through my own lived experience, there should be an International Civil Court with the choice of juries, that could be based in Jerusalem that could for example oversee important ‘care arrangements’ vulnerable minors automatically age out of at adulthood.
A kinder evolution is possible.
This statement is true.
