Section 15 Ombusmans Act

.Section 15 of the Ombudsman Act 1976
(Ombudsman Act) lists the grounds on which the
Ombudsman can formally make a report to an
agency, and ultimately to the Prime Minister and
Parliament. Only a small number of reports are
made each year to agencies, and more rarely to
the Prime Minister or Parliament.

Clearly Alison Larkin ( deputy Commonwealth Ombudsman  should have 2 cocks shoved up her arse ) for failing  to comply with obligations under the Commonwealth Ombudsman Act.

Colin Neave, who was president of the Administrative Review   Council and now is the Commonwealth ombudsman also should be fucked up the arse  for failing his responsibilities as Banking industry Ombudsman and also Financial Services Ombudsman. This faggot is also an order of Australia for licking shit off Government Arses
