Donna Bugat -v- Murdoch family & Ors (ie politicians & Victoria Police) @ Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia etc: FAO Registrar: My witness statement/s of truth etc about lawsuits (incl. jury) over British & Australian politicians et al ‘trial by media’ of me in UK that began 26th March 2006 have been intended to ditch Australian ‘adoption court order’ (& reform UK Magistrates Courts & Australian County Courts who have ‘erred’ in law with repeated failures/refusals to make & keep timely & accurate contemporaneous court records & provide timely court certified copies of documents incl. in British ’landmark’ High Court ‘Contempt of Court’ CO/5019/2007 & High Court ‘Habeas Corpus’ Court Order CO/3557/2008 cases etc etc) (08.07.2024)
The British and Australian politicians ‘trial by media’ of me in the UK, that began on Mothers Day 26th March 2006 relied on the ‘dynamic’ that British Magistrates Courts also do not make or keep a timely or accurate contemporaneous record of court proceedings which goes beyond merely unprofessional on the part of politicians and courts.

A civil jury would obviously agree/could not disagree (that my own case/s meant I did not need to go to the ECHR or return to Australia who could not overturn my right to civil jury trials in the UK incl. because of dual nationality) that politicians and the courts et al are legally obliged to uphold some… basic legal principles like keeping proper court records to a) avoid disputes and b) allow appeals.
Refer BBC comments on 24th July 200…7 below.
My lawsuits (including with a jury) can and should have been legally resolved by the British High Court using my real identity in my lawsuits in the UK about the ‘trial by media’ of British and Australian politicians of me that began on 26th March 2006 by confirming:

a) I have ditched the ‘adoption court order’ made in Australia (after I was never through no fault of my own ever given a court certified copy of the ‘Adoption Court Order’ by either the County Court in Melbourne, Australia, or any other state or federal government agency in Australia, or High Commissions overseas
(the Murdoch family lawyer Blair grandstanding in Melbourne):

The British aristocracy et al are fond of pointing the finger at others and grandstanding around the world, when they could do with looking a little closer to home and reforming their Magistrates Courts (starting with Westminster) with some basic legal principles.
The false information (below) recklessly published by the BBC on 26th March 2006 (while the Murdoch family lawyer, Blair was grandstanding in Melbourne, Australia, that was never repeated in any court (although two High Court Judges did falsely claim to not know my ‘contact details’ in ‘satellite litigation’ in 2007 when they ‘forgot’ to invite me to a hearing in a court with audio recordings) in efforts to deflect from/illegally stop civil jury lawsuits

The first time I saw anything relating to an ‘adoption court order’ was a photocopy in July 2019 of the alleged ‘adoption court order’ from Case 352 on 28th May 1963, when that photocopy was given to me by the ‘Adoption Information Service’ (who had only previously given me some hospital records etc when I was living in New Zealand) after I was forced to leave my own home in Breizh, France, and return to Melbourne, Australia to try and resolve much.
The County Court in Melbourne have repeatedly made excuses there was no one available who was ‘allowed’ to show me the ‘adoption register’ and would not make an appointment for a time for me to see it, with someone who was ‘allowed’ to show me, and would not give me an urgent hearing for an injunction to get a permanent stay on the ‘adoption court order’ they had always refused to give me a court certified copy of, to… take to a different court. I have previously given a witness statement and statutory declarations about my being unlawfully arrested in the County Court on 21st December 2021 when I was trying to go home to Breizh, France, before I was then diagnosed with cancer and current cancer)
Blair was only ever a dodgy lawyer for the Murdoch family:


It is wrong that the messianic demagoguery of the Murdoch family (who trafficked me to the highest echelons of the British and Australian intelligence services who posed as my parents and godparents) are still able to prattle on about adoption by sponsoring their ‘cult of celebrity’ who treat ‘adoptees’ as the latest ‘must have accessory’ as though there are no ‘serious procedural irregularities’ (of which the Murdoch family happen to be centre stage in my own case)
The people who posed as my parents had eventually conceded I was correct to refuse to join the intelligence services. The Murdoch family would only have then had (if I had joined the intelligence services) any old ‘official secrets act’ to try and sweep their role under the carpet. The people who posed as my parents had an unfavourable opinion of Alfred Deakin Brooks too, who they referred to as “Alfred Bloody Brooks” and like most people, they did not agree with the Iraq War either. The Murdoch family were the global backers of the Iraq War across ‘five eyes’.
b) & reforming the British Magistrates Courts so they fulfil their legal duty to provide audio/audio visual records of court proceedings to avoid disputes with courts over what the courts say and do.
The British government… destroyed CCTV and independent video footage of what they did… behind closed doors at Charing Cross Police Station to myself and Steve Jago on 4th September 2006 in a ‘case’ we ‘won’ on 13th December 2007:


The original politically motivated malicious prosecution against me, in the UK, on 22nd February 2006, highlighted the very serious legal difficulties that exist because Magistrates Courts in the UK, do not fulfil the basic legal duty to make and keep an accurate and contemporaneous record of proceedings in the court.




(The Tory politician who was posing as a prosecutor (for the Labour government) became an Attorney General who in 2012, threatened me specifically about the issue of the British Magistrates needing to be reformed.
The lawyers and District Judge subsequently engaged in an unnecessary and lengthy… dispute that perpetuated the harm being caused to me over their agreeing a ‘case stated’ to the High Court (CO/2460/2006) that then resulted in my being illegally denied legal representation by the High Court on 18th June 2007… AFTER the same District Judge Nicholas Evans had then separately been able to falsely accuse me of an alleged Contempt of Court in the unprofessional he said/she said of the… court on 26th March 200…7.
The BBC comments on 24th July 2007 lack… context relating to (for example) CO/5019/2007 and what became CO/11393/2007 etc etc:


Brian and I were over time also critical of the so called human rights lawyers in London who were really apologists for Blair who was essentially nothing more than the Murdoch family lawyer.
A lawyer’s reference to 19th July 2007 at Lavender Hill Magistrates (aka South Western Magistrates)



In groundhog day, I was then publicly threatened through the Murdoch led press on 19th July 200…9 (the BBC repeated below) after I was literally kidnapped from inside a court room during live proceedings !!!! on 19th July 200…7 to stop me giving evidence) that led to the torture and attempted murder of me that I have previously reported.
The BBC repeat the Murdoch family press on another 19th July in the knowledge that the Australian PM Rudd, had by then given the green light to what spun out into the torture and attempted murder of me, shortly afterwards:

It’s common-sense the Rudd family would never have got a pay-off from the British politicians laundered through Ingeus in the UK, unless they had covered up the torture and attempted murder of me.

The courts could only claim such nonsense ‘excuses’ to for example deny me legal aid etc in CO/4002/200…6 (the court typo says 07 to try and deflect from the delay etc) because the government et al ‘err’ in failing to uphold the most basic legal principles to keep proper records that include audio so there is no dispute that was created by… the court by a misogynist judge who really said I “should not as a single (working) parent be spending (my own) money coming to London to protest” (as though where Parliament is located was my choice !!)

The latest British PM called Starmer from… Doughty Chambers who is an apologist for Blair et al used the original malicious prosecution of me on 22nd February 2006 as leverage to become the prosecutor (and help cover up the failure of Magistrates Courts to uphold their legal duty and the legal principle to keep proper records he… exploited like Johnson, to then become a politician, at the same time Johnson switched from Mayor of London in 2015 in advance of the Brexit panjandrum) etc.



Brian had fired Bindmans Solicitors where Schwarz was a partner, because of their long-standing negligence (and then some) in filing civil lawsuits from Mothers Day 2006 onwards in a timely manner had led to the torture and attempted murder of me (when they refused to gt the CCTV) so Schwartz told a barrister from Mansfield’s (who then went to Doughty) that if she/they represented me she wouldn’t get any more work from Bindmans. The Bar Council confirmed there were no legal grounds to withdraw from representing me but the barrister did anyway, despite my refusing to sign a waiver the barrister pressured me to try and sign.
Mike Schwarz from Bindmans and the fmr Mayor of London Livingstone and his brief (who have covered up the identity of the man who violently punched me in the head on 17th August 2007 (which I have already complained about and Livingstone unlawfully arrested Brian and I to try and cover up) with their ‘shadow boxing’ among… themselves over a further attack on Brian and I in Parliament Square on 17th October 2007… that was continuing intimidation etc because we had by then gone to Southwark Crown Court in what became CO/11393/2007 in the High Court:


The legal reality is Brian and I would not have needed lawyers !!!! (who were clearly more interested in their own supposed spats) if the British Magistrates Courts upheld the basic legal principles of proper record keeping with audio/audio visual recordings. The government would not have dared to take us to courts.
In reality Livingstone et al were taking advantage of the… gross negligence of Bindmans Solicitors, which in practice left Brian and I having to do what we could, during which I was unlawfully arrested… 48 times, because it was easiest for the government to just keep repeating the abuse of processes through the Magistrates Courts (Brian called a ‘sausage machine’)
It became obvious, there was obviously a lot of basic disclosure that Bindmans had just not bothered to get that Brian and I had to try and get through for example CO/11393/2007:

CO/11393/2007 showed up Bindmans Solictors et al.
The failure of the High Court in the ‘lamdmark’ CO/5019/2007 to address the absence of basic legal principles in the Magistrates Court (when they also ‘sidestepped’ the fact their ‘landmark’ alleged ‘Contempt of Court’ case only came about because a District Judge Nicholas Evans had refused to hand over a copy of the dodgy summons to me, so I could file them in another court as evidence of him acting in further bad faith, while the CO4002/2006 case stated from 22nd February 2006 involving him had still through… no fault of my own not been put before the High Court, before Evans then hastily placing his dodgy summons from March 2007 ‘sine die’):

combined with the failure by the same Judges in CO/5019/2007 to invite me to a hearing in CO/4002/2006 (where they went ahead with my appeal in my absence):

led… directly to my High Court Habeas Corpus Court Order from 16th April 2008 because the British Magistrates Courts do not make keep proper records:

There has never been any disclosure over the CO/3557/2008, and the Prison governor at Holloway never provided any disclosures to me of legal documents she relied on.
My view is no-one wanted to clean up the British Magistrates Courts, which Brian and I did repeatedly complain about and avoid where possible, and yet it is such a straightforward matter to have audio/audiovisual records.
The failure of British Magistrates Courts to have proper record keeping did lead to me being illegally imprisoned without legal representation or trial on a non-imprisonable s5 Public Order. The prison staff who had at first refused to admit me to Holloway Prison because there was no paperwork that would allow that, subsequently told me someone paid big money to illegally imprison me (during the London Mayoral elections) The Prison governor illegally withheld the court paperwork from me until she came to see me when I was being released and said she wouldn’t release me unless I signed a ‘waiver’ about her involvement (which was improper pressure and I refused to do) The former Tory Minister Alan Duncan from Vitol Oil was paid a £160,000 brown envelope for his role.
Once the robber media barons chair from the Daily Mail published a hit piece about me admitting the robber media barons wanting me unlawfully arrested, the trial by media of me should have been stopped. They too relied on the abuse of process of Magistrates Courts not keeping proper records to avoid disputes about who said, what, when and why.
My observation is that by and large no-one has stopped to consider, let alone care about how easily the British Magistrates Courts can be exploited by politicians in political cases.
The quite extraordinary and it has to be said misogynistic miscarriage of justice I experienced (most of the Judges were male and the most horrible bullies) was only possible because politicians exploited the absence of proper record keeping in the British Magistrates Court.
After I formally named one undercover on 13th January 2010 in legal proceedings in the… Magistrates Court, against Brian and I, and Brian fired Bindmans et al, Bindman’s then re-invented themselves, representing the government’s phoney ‘Democracy Village’ (in the High Court in HQ10X01980/HQ10X01981) that was a larger undercover version used against Brian and I that was then also illegally used in HQ11X00563 etc I ‘won’.


N.B: A Jan Luba did not represent either Brian or I, who never met or instructed him and we had never met or instructed Doughty Chambers Paul Harris SC either who was really trying to protect Starmer & Roberston etc.
Brian and I had really ‘won’ on 21st June 2010 (as the transcript of what I said that was not disputed shows) so the Court of Appeal (which ‘sidestepped’ the transcript from 21st June 2010) could not legally remit the case back the same Judge in the High Court to buy time etc:

Brian and I still had not been able to get the transcript from Southwark Crown Court in CO/11393/2007 which also meant the government was able to illegally keep trying to ‘overtake’ us.


A ‘phoney war’ between Rudd and Gillard masked something much worse.
By the time I had (for example) HQ12X3564, the courts ridiculously tried to claim I had to money to have basic disclosure over the government omnishambles on 16th January 2012 where they had (illegally) ‘substitute’ my CO/12316/2011with their own (undercovers) CO/12613/2011
On 8th April 2013 I filed the paperwork in the High Court that the government had “never had any recognised defence in law” (including to put before a civil jury) that led to the government using the City of London Police (who were also involved on 16th January 2012, in Parliament Square, Central London) to unlawfully arrest Neil my boyfriend at the time (a person posing as a police officer wore the numbers 666, covering up other numbers) when the High Court demanded we go to the High Court on 10th April 2013, in their efforts to illegally try and stop me leaving the country etc etc.

The reality is the tittle tattle of Westminster (like below) knew Doughty et al already lost (for example) HQ11X00563 (I ‘won’) before HQ12X03564 etc, etc:

The Westminster tittle tattle would… know their own British Magistrates Courts should be reformed to uphold basic legal principles, like having audio/audiovisual recordings of proceedings to avoid… disputes.
It was Starmer and Robertson’s ‘Doughty Chambers’ who withdrew from representing me when they had failed to disclose a ‘conflict of interest’ when I was trying to legally blow the whistle on 21st June 2010 about Johnson et al that a Lord Neuberger then repeatedly ‘sidestepped’ (by ignoring without reasonable excuse court transcripts’) when he illegally remitted a case against Brian and I… back to the High Court and the same Judge as 21st June 2010, which only led to HQ11X00563, I ‘won’.
The true legal reality and legal principle can only be that a court and government who refuse to keep proper records of court proceedings do not then have any legal grounds to… dispute anything.
The failure of the government to make proper Magistrates Court records (incl. audio/visual) opened the door for and was a means by the government to create and perpetuate growing and widespread corruption in political cases.
It is not necessary for me to argue over any… dispute/who is at fault, when only the government can be at… fault in refusing to make or keep timely or accurate contemporaneous records of court proceedings, in their courts.
After 26th March 200…7, and the alleged ‘Contempt of Court’ CO/5019/2007 case (when the same District Judge Nicholas Evans who had still not agreed a ‘case stated’ in CO/4002/2006) falsely claimed I had committed a ‘Contempt of Court’ to cover up he and the court had refused to give me a copy of summons he had illegally issued, so I could appeal them in a different court) my case/s began to be moved out of the overtly political courts in Westminster, only for me to literally be kidnapped from inside Lavender Hill Magistrates Court on 19th July 2007 during live proceedings, to a) stop me giving evidence in that court which was out of the jurisdiction of Westminster in another case I later ’won’ involving the Murdoch family, and to b) it turned out illegally bring me back before Westminster Magistrates Court the next day, so they could withdraw an illegal court order I had appealed, they had imposed on me on 22nd May 2007 in defiance of an existing higher court order from Southwark Crown Court Order from 8th March 2007.
The British High Court administrative staff claimed CO/4002/2006 was ‘lost’ in ‘Town & Country Planning’ before I was simply not invited to the hearing when the same Judges as CO/5019/2007 falsely claimed (like the lie published by the BBC on 26th March 2006) that the government “did not know my contact details’. A Stephen Slidders from the Administrative court staff said I simply had to write a letter stating I had not been notified of the hearing and the hearing would be null and avoid, which I did do.
The British ’landmark’ Contempt of Court case from the Magistrates Court, in Westminster in the UK which was intended to avoid handing over and any legal scrutiny of and appeal to a different court over six summons -mirrors- the County Court in Melbourne, Australia having always refused to hand over court certified copies of ‘adoption court orders’ to adoptees and particularly when we become adults, so we could appeal them before, for example, a civil jury in the High Court in the UK. The politicians enacted the retrospective adoption legislation in 1984 in Victoria, Australia, while I was living… overseas, to try and hide the legal duty of a court to provide adoptees with court certified copies of the adoption court order and particularly when we are adults, so we could make our own genuine choices. It was obviously unreasonable/unworkable for politicians to make legislation that an adoptee would need to (for example) return to the originating court in a state in Australia to argue about ditching an authoritarian ‘adoption court order’, not forgetting that any genuine choice is ‘illusory’ because politicians still do not make it mandatory for adoptees to even be told they are adopted.
The comments by the BBC on 24th July 2007 about Westminster Magistrates are inevitably not entirely accurate and lack any context with regard to what was going on, and with regard to what also became CO/11393/2007 in the High Court, after a Southwark Crown Court judge also ‘erred’ when he ’sidestepped’ what he said when I was on the witness stand in that court.
Anyone who campaigned with Brian and I, soon knew that the government went to ‘extraordinary’ efforts to avoid me ever gving evidence in any court.
It is undeniable that the abuse of me, also in Magistrates courts, simply could not have happened if the government fulfilled what is a legal duty to reform Magistrates Courts so that there are actual recordings and audio visual in court to avoid disputes over what the court say and do.
The reason I have a High Court Habeas Corpus Court Order from 16th April 2008 is only because I was illegally imprisoned without legal representation or trial on a umm non-imprisonable s 5 Public Order 1986 by a District Judge Michael Snow.
I don’t feel I have to… argue about what the government may say is said in a Magistrates Court when the legal principle is they are legally obliged to make and keep an accurate and contemporaneous record with court audio/audiovisual recordings.
I only now believe in a genuine direct democracy where (regardless of a country being a republic or constitutional monarchy) it is mandatory for the ruling class/es to publish draft legislation including the consequences for anyone affected by the legislation, that is then… voted on for by the public. There needs to be more democracy and the ability to peacefully participate in real democracy beyond ticking a box for goodness knows what, every five years or so which can result in all sorts of adverse consequences for civilian populations. (The revolving door of politicians and advisers stick around for ever with endless lucrative ‘jobs for mates’ in global ‘bureaucracies’ of all sorts) There is so much legislation politicians and their wealthy mates might never dare put before the public, if the public had an actual vote on the legislation that also had to outline the consequences of legislation for anyone affected by the legislation. At the moment wealthy people can literally just buy legislation that continually erodes any equality of… opportunity.
I know this witness statement of truth is true.
A kinder evolution is possible.
