Truth Matters. The Story Behind the Brand.

Updated: Jul 5, 2023

INTRO EXTRACT - "Initially, my reporting was a fight for the disabled persons I cared for to not be subject to degrading treatment - equality in dignity and rights. By 2022, Barbwire Noose® represented not only these Human Rights but overwhelmingly all Human Rights with emphasis on Article 6 - Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law. As brand founder I found myself forced into an open forum, whistleblowing against a cover up, to gain justice regarding sexual criminal offending against myself and non-cognitive mute disabled persons. Barbwire Noose® and my activism are not just a fight for a better quality of life for these disabled clients but a fight for justice for all.

From the, at the time running, Disability Royal Commission I wanted to obtain a public apology at the least from the Labor Government - governments in general. An apology too and for the suffering that these disabled people endured under government organisations in South Australia. This fight for justice, fighting for Human Rights is what the trademark registered words ‘Barbwire Noose®’ and ‘Fear Is the Root of All Weakness®’ represent. Fear Is the Root of All Weakness® – the slogan, words which had held a long-term place written on a yellow curtain blind I purchased in 2002. This curtain blind was stolen from myself in 2022 during VICPOL torts against myself aimed to cover up sexual misconduct within police forces. Causing overwhelming emotional distress and damages as this book released without significant icons of its foundation.

It’s not a straightforward story, it’s easy to get embroiled in the drama of it all, the bottom line of Barbwire Noose® is the Empowerment of Survival, overcoming Fear, Adversity, Greed and a determination to Not allow society to flounder to the point where the government takes the taxpayers money with no responsibility like the bad royalty it replaced."


EXTRACT CHAP 1 "The emotional distress I suffered without my Aquatics Teaching position at this time was making me very sad and bored. Being unaware that police were causing much reputational damage to my character as a teenager, it was only when the experience repeated itself in 2018 that all became clear. Another sexually offending police officer Damian Ferrari, who had been stalking myself on Ararat Police station computers, this one raping me into a relationship

. Leaving this seedy old police officer it was evident to me of what possibly had been occurring for years. Under duress I was introduced to his friends as his girlfriend while he paraded me around regional Victoria wineries. The circumstances surrounding Damian Ferrari stalking myself and raping me were aided and abetted by a Detective called Aaron Roche who clearly thought I had been or was a prostitute as I assisted him with the murder of Gordon Hamm investigation in 2014 and 2015. Police are gossips when they shouldn’t be. The police are the most at fault regarding the spread of malicious accusations with no basis or facts creating adverse circumstances throughout my life. Intentional misappropriations of funds and maladministration to allow corrupt police to run smear campaigns only to benefit police and governmental cover ups of sex crimes. Damian was a powerful police officer in VICPOL, the station Commander at the Ararat Police station. The station had just confiscated ketamine from a rave to which Damian insinuated he used to rape me whilst mocking me calling him out about the crime with other comments like “prove it”. Meaning prove he drugged and raped me. He forced my groggy from ketamine self into the relationship with him the following day after committing this sexual crime. Damian stated that both the Victoria police commissioner and the South Australian police commissioner were conspiring to cover up Kurt Slaven offence and disrupting Barbwire Noose ability to engaged profitable business expansion. This criminal offending by Damian Ferrari and many other criminal acts by police exposed years of joint operations including using the Australian Federal Police to cover up sex crimes committed by serving police officers.

The necessity to distract my mind to recover from the first sex crimes committed against myself by police officer Kurt Slaven in 2001 is a lifelong recovery process. The unknown disruption occurring towards my life causes much Mental Anguish. Volunteering, employment and hanging with my mates were a distraction from the hideous crime committed against myself that I was too scared to report. As if being sexually assaulted by someone whom I should have been able to trust, wasn’t bad enough. Then there’s the self-worth issues rape victims suffer after being raped. Employment empowering self-worth, the aim of a seedy police force was evidently to spiral myself into suicide with a Character Assassination. A well-educated, well presented applicant to employers, hard working and ethical finding it hard to gain employment in a small town is almost unfathomable. Holding me from employment and interactions with people benefited the cover up and ensured oppression. I have no doubt in my mind that Kurt Slaven and others were intentionally disrupting my life to have me feeling worthless, destitute and seeking the refuge of suicide. His threatening words “Don’t tell anyone” replaying like a constant echo in the back of my mind. Damian’s “Prove it” taunt adding to the threat from Kurt Slaven and heavily increasing the trauma. Trauma I was forced endure severely due to under and unemployment numerous times as life passed by. Sitting in my lounge room I grabbed a black texta my then boyfriend had brought home from his night fill job at Coles. I wrote the words ‘Fear Is the Root of All Weakness’ large down the middle of my yellow curtain blind covering the glass window in the front door. Almost exactly one year after the crime committed against me, the slogan to brand Barbwire Noose was born. The adversities I faced then and now was unnecessary suffering from nasty people. Suffering those life trials which were not really life’s trials especially as a child at the hands of an adult is truly a devastating life experience.

Volunteering my time replaced the lack of employment I faced. My experience volunteering with Real, Humane people did soothe my mind. Seeing so many caring, loving staff and humble, knowledgeable elderly, after being taken advantage of by an on duty police officer and the negativity that followed, was exactly what I needed.

It was my first and Only experience I’ve had with Haggis. Haggis is the national dish of Scotland. It is a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep (or other animal), minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices. Making a traditional Haggis was a theme treat for these elderly residents, put on by the staff. Everyone loved the ideas and efforts of these staff. Though I personally could not eat it, I remember the activity reverently.

I had been offered by the government a job with IDSC in 2001, without the aged care volunteering experience. It was a part time position I was offered at this time. The part-time IDSC position being offered to myself came at the same time I was offered a full time position at Hungry Jacks working with my parents. My mother was the Restaurant Manager of the Mount Gambier arm of the American Burger King restaurant, my father at this time Special Kitchen Hand after decades as the Restaurant Manager. Myself already carrying much knowledge regarding Hungry Jacks operations and products, plus the Hungry Jack’s position being a full-time role, I chose to work with my parents. Starting to complete my Hospitality certificate, I was fast, polite and articulate in my fast food role. Working my way up to GOLD Star Employee on the road to be a manager like my parents, until I was abruptly and illegally dismissed. Working for my parents after moving out of home because of them was a mistake. It wasn’t until around 2003 that I was offered a full-time position with IDSC again.

A mature teenager, I was the first to move out of home out of my closest friends group at the end of our year 12 schooling. One year out of parental care and I was almost made homeless by my parents who would not let me move home after the dismissal at the time I dumped my first boyfriend. My parents and I have a torn and fragile relationship and have kind of been estranged since I moved out of home. Young parents, my mum and dad, were in their mid-30s when I moved out of home and preoccupied with their own lives. Their decision to leave me to fend for myself in 2001, I will never understand even with the facts about the malicious accusations that were circulated. This decision was extreme and is one of the many heartless and life endangering decisions I have endured from my parents.

It was odd to be treated with such disrespect when I left home. My strict parents at home seemed to resent me like my Nanna had once told me my mum did. I’ve never forgotten walking in the pines with my mum’s dad and mum when they told me “Your mum only married your dad because she was pregnant with you.” An insensitive thing to say, my interpretation is my mum and dad evidently fell in love when they met in that seemingly perfect ‘teens that got married’ love story scenario, pregnancy aside they married - for better or worse. My parents were very happy The emotional distress I suffered without my Aquatics Teaching position at this time was making me incredibly sad and bored. Being unaware that police were causing much reputational damage to my character as a teenager, it was only when the experience repeated itself in 2018 that all became clear.

EXTRACT CHAP 6 - It was evident for resolution the Constitutional Writs breaches needed to be addressed by the High Courts. I had address AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw upon my release from false imprisonment in DPFC. With incoming National Integrity legislation, I gave allowance to the Australian Federal Police commissioner who state commissioners say they converse with weekly, to resolve the issue I brought up with his office. Addressing my concerns in writing. Via phone and including the media in communication due to the cover up acknowledged in 2020. After 3 months with an acknowledgment that I should not have been incarcerated on court records it was evident Reece Kershaw was also towing the line of VICPOL, as police members stated about themselves during the act of the false arrest. The fact that there had been acknowledgment of false incarceration on record, should have seen my legal torts claim against VICPOL quickly resolved. The comment regarding the false incarceration made by the judge upon the court ruling the illegal matter (maladministration) which led to false incarceration. To me it was evident the AFP were at the least entertaining malicious accusations with no basis or facts in desperation to cover up the intentionally neglectful investigations of the Gordon Hamm case. Accusations and maladministration allowed to cover up paedophile and sex offending in the police force and governance. An application to the High Courts necessary to reset the unjust standard created by malfeasance culture against the constitution and Human Rights of resolution, safety, and security, etc.

The hardest experience to endure outside of what felt like endless sexual crimes and a plot to keep myself a victim in the system. A victim of police and government associated offences who was fighting for the rights and voices of Sharley Avenue House clients and myself almost alone and broke after spending over fifty thousand dollars on litigation and publications. Human Rights – A Bill of Rights Australia is imperative for the Best Australian future.

First-hand witnessing the destructiveness of Abuse of Power and Process; Liberty and Humanity (Human Rights Law) above all must dominate legislation and politics. As we enter the exclusive and boundless possibilities of a digital age, we must embrace individualism and morality with grace. The rejection of academic advice provided to the Parliament of Australia in 2008 regarding the South Australian Government of Mike Rann and the Serious Organised Crime Act 2008, my uncle and many other men - given the power to deprive the rights of others are irrefutably proven to be using the legislation in tyranny against the Australian people – draconian law implemented by tyrants. Prohibition in short benefits corporate greed (pharmaceutical industry) and elite stuffy old white men more than anything else. The Story Behind the Brand – A fight for Human Rights. The rights and justice for all, a strong stand against dehumanisation and a Bill of Rights Australia. Activist Marcia Anita Hobbs aka Marcia BNoose – a dedicated advocate for humane society “I hope that the future sees an end to war and the war on drugs, and brings peace and understanding to our cultures, individualism and world.”
