ANALYSIS OF MY OPEN LETTER DATED 27TH NOVEMBER 1997 TO THE PRIME MINISTER.

1. Mrs Rigg and I agreed with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) to borrow money pursuant to a discounted commercial bill facility. Our trading company, Tony Rigg Welding & Manufacturing Pty Limited (the Company), agreed with CBA to borrow money pursuant to an operating overdraft account.

2. Officers of CBA, without our knowledge or consent, and with intent to defraud, changed an account document, to render the company liable for the bill facility. Officers of the Australian Federal Police have informed me that the alteration of the document was a criminal offence.

3. CBA purported to engage in the business of dealing with bill draw-down and roll-over transactions to the operating overdraft account of the company. Each bill draw-down and roll-over transaction was a fraud. At no time did CBA pay money on any bill, nor did it deal with any bill in the manner prescribed by law.

4. The bill draw-down and roll-over transactions were debited to the operating overdraft account of the company, thereby absorbing the approved overdraft limit, and crippling our business. This was done by officers of CBA as part of a deliberate and systematic campaign to destroy small business and strip the customers of their assets. The proof of this allegation appears in the discovered documents of many court cases.

5. An officer of Australian Taxation Office has informed me that CBA and Westpac have been engaging in asset stripping for years. I sent to the Martin committee a report that included documentary evidence from CBA's files, proving the fraud. That report was published by the Parliament, and yet, officers of CBA continued to perpetrate the fraud on their customers. No charges have been laid against the offending officers.

6. Officers of CBA had me forcibly and unlawfully removed from the business premises. The manager of CBA Nowra, John Griffiths, instructed the New South Wales Police to arrest me. Senior Constable Nichols of the Nowra Police Patrol arrested me, unlawfully, when I was upon my own land.

7. I was charged with being upon enclosed lands. Magistrate Bamett in the Nowra Local Court refused to allow me to tender into evidence my report to the Parliament, including a notice of rescission that particularised the fraud committed by the officers of CBA, and rescinded the mortgage over the enclosed land. Barnett convicted me of an offence of which I was entirely innocent, and thereby became an accessory to the fraud.

8. CBA purported to appoint one Stephen Henderson Rogers of LJ Hooker, Nowra, as receiver of the business premises, illegally. Rogers failed to manage the business with due diligence and significantly reduced the commercial value of the business. By so doing, Rogers compounded the fraud.

9. CBA purported to sell the business to Zenix Pty Limited of Greenwell Point for $725,000 illegally. The premises were then valued at $1.1million. The purported sale was undertaken in contempt of the New South Wales Court of Appeal.

10. I enclose copies of the following:

(a) The CBA account documents that were falsified

(b) A sample of CBA action sheet, showing that the bill transaction was a sham.

(c) A CBA internal memorandum showing that the manipulation of the accounts was to be covered up, and

(d) A CBA internal memorandum, showing that the Australian Federal Police were involved in the cover-up.

11. I have been informed by a reliable overseas intelligence source that officers of CBA have taken out a contract on my life.
