As Allan Kessing alludes to in his interview with Richard Fidler:
Allan Kessing - ABC Conversations with Richard Fidler , once you start up the machine (the bureaucracy) it is very hard to switch it off! By the time Allan's case went to court the whole issue had blown over. But because the slow wheels of justice had started turning the Courts, AFP etc had to see it through to save face and political careers!
This is the same story in jandsquadrio's case and because he is the 'little bloke', he is deemed to be expendable.
As with Allan and John, I too personally bare witness to this fact as I fight for my career against a prosecution from the AFP
in a case that has been going on for nearly two years!
So good luck John!
