In this powerful and deeply personal conclusion to his testimony, Victorian lawyer Thomas Flitner delivers a searing indictment of the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C) — describing a coordinated campaign of regulatory abuse designed to eliminate him from the profession.br Interviewed by legal advocate Shivesh Kuksal, Thomas connects the final dots: unlawful appointments, misuse of public funds, and a legal system weaponised to punish those who resist.br 💥 In This Video You’ll Learn:br 🧾 Bogus Delegations, Unlimited Powerbr Thomas reveals how individuals like Gordon Cooper acted under the guise of Board authority without lawful appointment, issuing directives and interfering in his firm — all allegedly shielded by Howard Bowles, the powerful regulator behind many of these moves.br 💸 $3.2 Billion, No Oversightbr The Public Purpose Fund, meant for legal aid and access to justice, is described as a slush fund—paying private contractors like Nick Curran, QCs, and firms engaged to crush small practices, with zero external scrutiny.br ⚖️ External Management = Sabotagebr • Curran allegedly ignored clients, refused communication, and ran up $200K+ in chargesbr • Confidential materials were seized and returned damagedbr • Curran reportedly told Thomas he had “no rights” while seeking personal reimbursementbr 🧠 Destroying Small Firms by Designbr Shivesh argues the system is rigged to eliminate sole practitioners—burdening them with impossible compliance standards while streamlining audits for large firms, ultimately eroding community legal access.br 🧍 Isolation and Professional Exilebr From cut-off complaints systems to whisper campaigns, Thomas explains how the regulator ensured that even if he returned to practice, his business, reputation, and livelihood would be lost forever.br 🧑‍⚖️ Silencing Through Legal Musclebr In just two months, the VLSB allegedly spent nearly $500,000 to fund suppression proceedings — using two KCs, juniors, and teams of lawyers — all to stop public disclosure of misconduct.br Meanwhile, public services are being slashed, and no one is watching the regulator.br 📢 Why This Mattersbr Thomas is no longer the only voice. As Shivesh notes, the same officials — Neylon, Duggan, Curran, Bowles, Cooper — appear in testimony after testimony from lawyers across Victoria.br Their alleged tactics follow a clear pattern:br ✅ Improper appointmentsbr ✅ Billing abusebr ✅ Suppression of dissentbr ✅ Weaponised regulationbr All funded with public money, and carried out without oversight.br 📌 If you believe in justice, the rule of law, and institutional integrity — share this video.br 💬 Comment below if you or someone you know has faced abuse of power by legal or state authorities.
