Neil Oliver: “Any administration that writes and passes its own legislation and awards itself, and only itself, the right to judge the accused on the basis of that legislation; to declare guilt or innocence, and to the pass and impose sentence is a text book dictatorship.” Neil Oliver is a […]
More disturbing revelations have emerged out of the ADF Jedi Council’s Email Porn Ring Scandal (2010-2013) that the porn misbehaviour was just the tip of the iceberg of the institutionalised depraved impropriety culture of Australia’s Army brass. The ADF have embraced bastardisation in civilian-military conversion training since Duntroon’s initiation in 1911. […]
How the ‘ADF Email Porn Scandal’ unfolded (from media reporting) … So various reports indicate that this Email Porn Scandal episode was conceived and started back in 2010 by some sex-starved male commando in the Army. Not too many women are commandos, so its a tad male environment only and […]

Given the lack of interest, the crap training, record resignation rate, staff shortages and the ADF in desperate recruitment crisis; well we anticipate RMC Duntroon to go wholly online soon. This would mean applicants can come from anywhere, at any age, no fitness or health checks, but if they can muster […]
Institutional Hazing Culture: OBEY OR ELSE! This posted article is derived from this website’s link to the institutional harmful, undermining and corrosive cultural problem of ‘hazing’ (bastardisation) bullying by senior cadets upon junior ‘freshmen’ cadets since 1912.

This is according to the extensive further research by former cadet Darren Moore in his 2001 documentary book on RMC Duntroon’s history entitled ‘DUNTROON: The Royal […]

Given that since 2014 when politics overruled the judiciary in Julian Knight’s case, so denying his judicial rights to parole, after decade of ‘Victorian’ politics reporting to their political masters in the biased media, The Knighthood considers it’s past time to see Mr Knight enter the political scene. The media has […]

He only arrived from Port Phillip Prison to Loddon Prison two weeks prior. This was due the the Victorian Government’s mandatory decision to […]
Whatever! Julian Knight was never any underworld figure.

Canberra’s RMC Duntroon asylum is modelled on the British old schoolboy fictional toff English ‘public’ school of Graybridge of ‘Ripping Yarns‘ infamy. But instead of Ripping Yarns 9 episodes, RMC course runs for just 3; yet of late (2024) due to diminished applicants it’s been reduced to 12 months running time. […]

Only government ministers and bureaucrats don spanking new hard hats and ‘high-vis’ waist coats provided (not bought themselves) to be present before media at some site where work has stopped, yet they are told to be ‘operationally involved’.

But “finest” at what? RMC Duntroon, from experience of many hopeful and ambitious cadets, inculcates negative leadership and intra-company distrust, rivalries, resentment and hate.
