NSW TDA is Under the Thumbs of Oppressive Power Drunk Clique
Further to Mission Statement of the NSW TDA, My Response to the NSW TDA Committee, NSW TDA Committee Member and since the Election Result of 209, the power drunk ‘clique’ virtually did nothing to advance bailee taxi drivers interest and welfare.
I made my position clear in Anne Turner – Do Not Destroy the NSW TDA, Anne Turner’s Weapons of Mass Destruction, Answering Tony, Confidential NSW TDA Issues, NW TDA Committee Member, and Reg Kermode Thugs Went on to Kidnap and Rob Faruque Ahmed.
Ted Hirsh is a founding member of the NSW TDA. He is also a very competent committee member and victim of totally illegal and immoral vendetta of a power drunk ‘clique’ who have been acting against the wishes and interests of bailee taxi driver members.
The NSW TDA does NOT represent PLATE OWNERS!, May the president please inform the committee and Why Sex? are good enough to demonstrate the ugly, corrupt, vindictive and ruthless nature of this clique.
This gang has conspired to isolate Secretary Faruque Ahmed by;
1. Disconnect his NSW TDA mobile phone,
2. Take a-way NSW TDA post box key,
3. Removing him from the NSW TDA Exec forum,
4. Attending many meetings without Faruque Ahmed.
They did so even before charging Faruque Ahmed with anything! Let alone providing him an opportunity to answer any charge(s)! They also illegally informed the NSW Upper House Inquiry Secretariat that Faruque Ahmed is NOT holding such a position.
Preamble, A Critical Observation re NSW Upper House Inquiry, Beyond A Critical Observation re NSW Upper House Inquiry, Humorous Submission with Reality, Written Submission, In Person Presentation, The Outcome of the NSW Upper House Inquiry, Faruque Ahmed’s Submission to the NSW Upper House Inquiry re Taxi Industry, Faruque Ahmed! Is he a victim of mafia conspiracy?, Please Support Faruque Ahmed, NSW Taxi Drivers Association is Under Control of the Taxi Mafia, Faruque Ahmed, Secretary NSW Taxi Drivers Association and Election Result of 2009 are a few more evidence to demonstrate the stand of Faruque Ahmed unlike the vindictive and dangerous clique.
48 hour prior to the day of “Spanish Inquisition”(17-02-2010), Faruque Ahmed emailed My Response to the NSW TDA Committee to all committee members. Surprise! Surprise!! None of the attending committee members (five out of 12) read My Response to the NSW TDA Committee!!! They even refused to read a hard copy provided to them at the meeting. Yet, they made a decision!!!!
To add salt to the injury, Anne Tuner added reckless and wild allegations without any substantiation whatsoever. Trevor Bradley became irrational, rude, angry and violent.
It was a sad day for bailee taxi drivers. It was a Starr chamber. I bet another competent and honest NSW TDA Delegate Ernie Mollenhauer was not happy either.
Therefore all of those illegal, immoral and vindictive behavior of this clique mentioned above ought to be challenged in all forums.

To all,
and the Committee that’s left,
1. “SUSPENSION”
At the Ctee Mtg yesterday Wed 17Feb2010 it was stated that Faruque had NOT in fact been suspended on 10Dec2009 under our Constitution.
The so called “suspension” of Faruque occurred during the period between the Ctee Mtgs on 10 Dec2009 and 17Feb2010.
That so called “suspension” was in fact misguided, incorrect and ILLEGAL ; it did not exist in fact.
It was totally contrary to our Constitution !
You don’t believe it / you disagree?
READ the Constitution ! Clause 8.11. READ the words ! They are completely clear !
No SUSPENSION OR REMOVAL is possible until AFTER the person has been given a reasonable chance to provide an explanation.
(There was no 10Dec2009 agenda item concerning Faruque, let alone any prior ‘charges’ to explain.)
BOTH suspension and removal are subject to the SAME requirement of an explanation. AFTER being given a chance to explain the person can then be suspended OR removed from the Committee.
There is NO separate procedure of any kind for SUSPENSION !
We must learn from our past TDA experience.
We must not and cannot interpret our Constitution simply to suit someone’s convenience.
We must use it as per the RULES !
Otherwise we and the TDA are no better than the kangaroo courts of the taxi industry !
In 2006 Clause 8.11 was used absolutely correctly. I managed the procedures and wrote the letters exactly as per the Constitution ! And then successfully defended the appeal in the Supreme Court.
For Trevor to call me a ‘lawyer’ is stupid.
For Anne to say the Supreme Court is an “excuse” shows limited involvement in 2006 and ignorance of our Constitution.
Trevor Bradley did not exist in 2006. He knows nothing about those TDA events. And he does not know our Constitution. He has a history of ‘imaginative’ and careless interpretation of our Constitution. To suit and please the convenience of his ‘superiors’. Plus a history of wasting time and undemocratic attempts to change our Constitution without understanding it.
TB has no credibility on our Constitution.
The stupid assertion by Trevor that ‘suspension’ occurred on 10Dec2009 was irresponsible and had severe consequences for the TDA.
It led to several divisive email exchanges – fortunately only within the privacy of Exec. It led incorrectly, directly and unnecessarily to the saga of the keys and phone return. It led to the attack by ‘thugs’– never before anything so reprehensible in TDA history – and a blemish and disgrace on our TDA reputation !
Does Trevor Bradley’s complete loss of self control in public on Wed perhaps tell us something ?
The lesson (Again) is that :
- we MUST RESPECT our TDA Constitution. It must never be used cynically for any persons’ convenience or any other non-legal incorrect reason !
- (Never have Trevor write anything without the Committee carefully checking the draft.)
- ALWAYS respect our TDA rules and Constitution and do the right thing !
2. Tape Recording – Formal Request.
The Wed 17Feb2010 Ctee Mtg was audio recorded by Trevor. And also a second recording, perhaps by Van ? It is formally requested herewith and recommended that those recordings be not destroyed, handled carefully and retained permanently by the TDA. The recordings may be requested in future to verify the precise nature of the proceedings.
3. Postcript.
During ‘smoko’ Eddy said there has been “Too much TDA squabbling and infighting and not enough progress”. Exactly & Amen !
(The only 4 Ctee Mtgs in 7 months have all been infighting, bloodletting and sackings. And bugger all progress for drivers ! No wonder half the Ctee has /is left. Shame !)
Cheers,
Ted
| Mission Statement of the NSW TDA
Further to My Response to the NSW TDA Committee, NSW TDA Committee Member and since the Election Result of 209, the power drunk ‘clique’ virtually did nothing to advance taxi drivers interest and welfare. As a result many good taxi industry activists are voting with their feet. May be at the next AGM they won’t be able to fill up committee positions. However since then, they have more then five meetings to dismiss Ted Hirsh and Faruque Ahmed unlawfully. All of those meetings disregarded notion of justice, due process of law and fairness. They were worse than Spanish Inquisition! During these meetings, some committee members lost the plot. They became irrational, rude, offensive and violent. The usage of lies as well as reckless and wild allegations with impunity, were a few common symptoms at those meetings. These so called secretive NSW TDA leaderships have been meeting with taxi owner groups, taxi mafia, NSW Transport and Infrastructure officials for months! They do not maintain and publish meeting details, discussions and agreements or any other vital information regarding those meetings. At outset, it appears, all of those groups mentioned above have been treating the so called NSW TDA leadership with joke. I made my position clear in Anne Turner – Do Not Destroy the NSW TDA, Anne Turner’s Weapons of Mass Destruction, Answering Tony, Confidential NSW TDA Issues, NW TDA Committee Member, and Reg Kermode Thugs Went on to Kidnap and Rob Faruque Ahmed. I have been rendering my voluntary service to the taxi industry for a long time with a pretty good track record and I can not afford to give up a good fight dedicated to protect taxi drivers’ welfare and safety. I therefore, maintain my determination to take my case to the public court and all other venues available. People who may disagree with are welcome to air their views in my forums and blogs without any fear or favor. Secretary, NSW TDA, Email: union_faruque@yahoo.com.au
