Centrelink Submission

Subject: Notification of Crimes Against Humanity – Centrelink to Be Named in ICC Case

To: Centrelink / Services Australia Executive

This letter serves as formal notification that Centrelink/Services Australia will be named in my legal submission to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on 1 July 2025 under Article 7 of the Rome Statute, for its role in ongoing crimes against humanity—specifically, systemic persecution, inhumane treatment, and the deliberate denial of medical support to a known population at risk of intergenerational chemical harm.

International Law and Binding Scientific Warnings Ignored

• In 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified TCDD (dioxin)—a chemical compound found in Agent Orange—as a Group 1 carcinogen, capable of causing cancer, congenital disorders, neurological harm, immune dysfunction, and endocrine disruption.

• In 2004, Australia ratified the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, listing TCDD as a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP). This treaty imposed a clear and binding obligation on Australia—including all federal departments—to prevent further harm, support affected individuals, and respond to the intergenerational impact of POP exposure.

Despite these obligations, your department has consistently refused to acknowledge or respond appropriately to documented medical evidence of TCDD-related, second-generation harm—in my case and others. This includes 17 diagnosed medical conditions, many congenital and consistent with published international toxicology research.

Centrelink’s Direct Role in Ongoing Harm

By denying support and refusing to recognise the internationally established impacts of TCDD, Centrelink has participated in systemic harm. This includes:

• Ignoring medical documentation and expert assessments

• Denying lifelong disability support while aware of congenital and degenerative conditions

• Contributing to financial distress, psychological trauma, and worsening health

• Failing to implement risk assessments, adapt policy, or issue public health guidance

In addition, the phone call I received from Centrelink staff in 2025 was a further act of humiliation, intimidation, and inhumane treatment, which will be detailed in my ICC submission. This interaction exacerbated psychological harm and reflects the broader pattern of abuse, gaslighting, and cruelty by Centrelink personnel toward vulnerable claimants seeking rightful support.

This is not an isolated incident—it is part of a sustained administrative and psychological assault against me as a disabled woman, and as a second-generation survivor of chemical warfare.

You Will Be Named

I hereby place Centrelink/Services Australia on official notice that your department will be named in my ICC complaint. Individual officers, assessors, executives, and legal advisors who have participated in denials, delays, or obstruction will also be named. You are no longer protected by departmental silence or political convenience.

In addition to Centrelink, my complaint will name:

• The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)

• The Department of Defence

• The Prime Minister’s Office

• Relevant Ministers and Secretaries responsible for failures to act

• International state actors, including the governments of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, and the United States

• The original manufacturer of Agent Orange

This Is Not a Request. This Is Notice.

I am not asking for a review. I am not requesting assistance. This is a legal and moral notification that Centrelink’s pattern of denial will now be examined on the world stage. Your decisions will be scrutinised under the standards of international criminal and human rights law.

Governments and departments that knew—and chose to do nothing—are not immune.

Silence is complicity. Denial is harm. Delay is a crime.
