CAN YOU TELL HOMO OBSCENUS from HOMO ERECTUS?

(Shire Employment Vacancy……………………experienced Local Government Executive Pervert required.)
Neanderthals,
as a species of Homo Erectus, died out 40,000 years ago.

Unfortunately extremely primitive mentality and prejudices have remained among some modern men including the perpetual denigration of the female of the species, both physically and mentally.

This includes such inspired verbal garbage as women only stood up straight when men invented the shopping trolley or that a man Indecently and wilfully exposing himself to women anywhere - is only a joke!

In many people’s minds the Shire of York could well have sunk back into the Stone Age if information filtering through to the community is true. It is certainly not humorous nor can anyone defend the indefensible.

Information suggests that a Shire of York, Public Servant with Senior Management status, in charge of staff and with all the duties of care this entails, exposed his genitalia to female staff more than once and to more than one person within the Shire of York Offices.

Actually there were three women believed to be involved whose names are being withheld for obvious personal reasons. The Shire’s involvement is withholding information for obvious reasons being self-protection.

By definition Indecent Exposure in a public place includes a school, a police station- and the workplace.

It is not only an act of sexual harassment in the workplace under the Fair Work Act, Australia, legislation- it is a Criminal Act.

Under Western Australia law it comes under the Criminal Code section 203 with the sentence for a Summary Conviction being 9 months jail and a $9,000 fine and as a Criminal Conviction-2 years’ incarceration.

Once is a criminal offence probably dealt with as Summary Conviction. More than once is a serious recidivism in a criminal offence to be dealt with in a Criminal Court in front of a judge and jury.


The hierarchy of the Shire appear not to wish to make any comment even though they are directly answerable to the ratepayer. It is disgusting as it could allow a pervert, who should be convicted of a criminal offence, to flash his way through another Shire Council as he allegedly did in Busselton.

If the Shire of York President or its Chief-Executive-Officer have displayed a ‘suck-it-up-princess’ mentality and refused to advise the police of what has occurred within their duty of care- this should not be tolerated.
It only preserves the currently flawed system of Local Government Probity and Governance

A second possibility is that those who deliberately withhold information regarding an indictable indecent sexual act without any reasonable excuse can face their own conviction and jail sentence.

Given the circumstances, including the additional workplace related offences of bullying and racial discrimination, it suggests that the offender’s actions were known for a period of time and all information was withheld from the community through fear and self-interest.

Who the self-interested parties are should be self-evident.

There is a third, the Executive Manager for Corporate and Commercial Services who is the Human Resources Manager responsible for the quality of performance of all staff, including the Chief Executive Officer and other Executive managers and their occupational health and safety.

She has apparently dropped the ‘balls’, big time!

So would the local Police know about this scandal and who the perpetrator and victims are?

You would hope so- otherwise they are not very good at policing.

Their problem is that they have no ability, or resources, to undertake this sort of investigation.

This does not prevent the Sargeant-in-Charge from ringing the WA Police Sexual Assault Squad and/or the Sex Offender Management Team and provide them with any knowledge of these criminal offences in his possession and understanding. (These police officers claim to work closely with local police in regional Western Australia.)

Failure to do so makes him as culpable as any member of the public by withholding information regarding a criminal act and could see his career in the force jeopardized if he does not act appropriately.

And the Shire of York should be treated with the contempt it deserves!
