In my opinion the ICAC is trying to be wound up before it has to investigate the ALP for historical abuses which occurred under the ICAC's watch.
I can illustrate one such abuse of power the ICAC is involved with in partnership with the ALP. I have clean hands and can talk about the issue. Under statute of limitations, there is no hope of an investigation. All the requisite bodies have been informed.
As a beginning teacher in 1992, I saw a teacher acting inappropriately in a sexual way with a student. I reported it, but as it was before the Woods Royal Commission branched off into teaching, there was no standardised way of addressing it. I raised the issue within a sub committee of the school after the Principal ducked it. I was transferred to another school for that. That should have been the end of it, I wanted nothing further to do with it and hoped to make it a lesson for personal growth regarding office politics. I was very ambitious.
However, the Bob Carr government was new in '95 and fractured immediately with pedophile claims centred around the neighbourhood I'd been teaching in. The then Minister for Education demanded reports be given directly to the department, even were they to be historical. I complied.
I was given a second job as a night tutor at a boarding school close to the first school. The boarding school wanted me to work there during the day too. But then I was 'exposed' as a person who had reported at the first school. Investigators spoke with victims who claimed the teacher's behaviour was creepy, but they didn't want to take it further. The investigators phoned me to tell me that they were going to declare the issue investigated and warranting no further action. I pointed out that put me in a terrible situation now I had been exposed when I had done nothing wrong.
I was illegally dismissed from my night job and I referred the matter to the Department, then the ICAC. The ICAC said it wasn't considered to be a structural problem that would interest them.
Then, in my final few acts at the boarding school, I came across a student who had a peanut allergy and warned the Department of it. I was assured it would be dealt with and staff would be informed. I wasn't present a year later when the child died from anaphylactic shock after they had been instructed by an ignorant teacher to lick peanut butter from a spoon. I was not aware of the issue at first, but the legal department of the Department of Education contacted me to tell me they wouldn't be talking to me, ever, and I had been listed by them as a pest.
I contacted the ICAC and they claimed I was inflating one thing to address another. I contacted a family friend involved with senior education executive and was told by legal branch they could not talk to me, even unofficially.
I took guidance from my Principal hoping to at least end the abuse I'd been receiving and was told it was in my interests to let the matter die. I chose not to inform the coroner in the first instance, expecting that the matter would be sorted in house and those negligently responsible would be retired. Instead, the Coroner claimed the parents had not warned the school authorities. It turned out the coroner had chosen not to question welfare people responsible for the negligence.
I have since exhausted all avenues of appeal regarding whomever might investigate the issue. I have approached my local members, I have approached the coroner, the police, a couple of ministers of Education, the ICAC, Centrelink and family. I have been isolated, lost my job, run for parliament twice, been pursued by the ATO, lost my home and lost my life savings.
One senior news.com editor has denounced me publicly as being a rabid Christian and having fundamentalist views I do not have. I am currently not on Centrelink as they didn't want me to work on my project.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

The Ballad of David Ball
[Verse 1]
In New York City, '67, a child was born so bold,
David Ball, with dreams afire, where Sesame Street was told.
His father shaped young minds at Columbia's hall so grand,
Till the '70s called them homeward to Sydney's distant land.
[Chorus]
Oh, sing of David Ball, with a heart both strong and true,
From classroom tales to whistle’s call, his spirit breaking through.
With pen in hand and faith so deep, he writes through joy and pain,
A voice for justice, loud and clear, in every sweet refrain.
[Verse 2]
Self-taught he read by Sydney's shore, with numbers as his guide,
A math teacher in the tough schools, where hope and youth ...

David Daniel Ball (born January 10, 1967, in New York City) is an Australian writer, conservative blogger, political activist, and former high school mathematics teacher. As the younger brother of cognitive scientist John Samuel Ball, David has carved a distinct path in education, advocacy, and self-publishing, often focusing on social justice, child protection, history, and Christian devotionals. His life story intertwines family intellectual heritage with personal campaigns against institutional failures in child welfare.
David was born in Manhattan during his father Samuel Ball's (1933–2009) tenure as an educational psychologist at Teachers College, Columbia University. Samuel, an Australian academic, contributed to early evaluations of Sesame Street through his work at the Educational Testing Service (ETS), assessing the show's impact on children's learning from 1963 onward. The family, including elder brother John (born 1963 in Iowa), relocated to ...
I invite you with: "Right now, let's respond by seeking Him first. If you're carrying worries, lay them down at His feet. Raise your hands, pray silently, or come forward for prayer as we declare His kingdom priority in our lives." This encourages active faith application, tying back to Matthew 6:33's promise.

Verse 1
In the whisper of the wind, You call my name
Beyond the worries of this world, Your kingdom reigns
Like lilies in the field, clothed in Your grace
I lift my eyes to You, in this sacred place
Chorus
Seek first Your kingdom, oh Lord
And Your righteousness, forevermore
All these things will be added, in Your perfect time
Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from Your throne
We seek You first, we seek You first
Verse 2
From ancient words You spoke, in the mountaintop light
You taught us not to fear, in the dead of night
Your promise echoes through the ages, ...
