Clayton’s Judge Conducts Investigation and Issues Scathing Report with Lightning Speed
Leaving Huge Question Mark Over Integrity and Due Process, 03.09.2024
An investigation into the dysfunction of the Trade Workers Union by ex-puisne judge Francis Marks sees his report a meagre (7) seven business days after his role to do so first being made public.
The delegation for the task was discussed in various media at that time including this Site.
Marks is known for his speed and agility in sifting through voluminous amounts of paperwork and getting to the finish line in record time.
Marks was engaged in the capacity of independent national ombudsman, to conduct an investigation into harassment internal to the TWU and its membership.
His focus on governance and culture centred on the Melbourne branch.
The public would be asking how it is remotely possible this antiquated individual, well past retirement age, qualified for such a role and at what cost in the first place.
“Marks has been known in the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal for his miraculous ability to wade through piles of documents and issue decisions at lightning speed. In my case he issued a decision in (11) eleven days; a case which saw (3) three distinct matters, but which appeared to be no mean task for this experienced ex-judicial officer to sift through and process; not to mention write the lengthy decision,” stated Telina Webb of NSW Freedom of Information.
“My case was overturned on appeal when I proved Marks had acted with bias. So any decision he makes concerning governance or organisational culture sees huge red flags from my perspective and personal experience. So far Marks’ TWU report is confidential. I’d certainly be interested in reading it!” stated Webb.
