The below Affidavit of the 24/8/2000 has been established as a fact and a fact of evidence and cannot be disputed by any Court nor by any person and is to be accepted fully as written. This fact was established during a hearing against the Federal Attorney Generals Department in September 2000, and after giving evidence under oath and waiting to be cross examined by the legal team for the Attorney Gernerals Department, it was stated by them, they don't intend to cross examine me on my evidence. This is where I had then stated to the Tribunal, if they don't intend to cross examine me on my evidence or my Affidavit, they accept my evidence and my Affidavit as a fact and a fact of evidence, is this correct Sir? where the Senior Member of the Tribunal said yes Mr Simmons, that is correct and they are aware of this.

I then asked the Senior Member has a Leader of the Government Certificate been issued to this Tribunal where the Senior Member, Mr Beddo stated, Mr Simmons, we are all very well aware of what you are saying and it is commonly known as The Prime Minister's Certificate and no Mr Simmons, one has not been issued yet. Where I had asked the Senior Member if he was aware if they intended to issue a certificate where he had stated again, Mr Simmons, one has not been issued yet. I then asked him, are you aware if they will be issuing one to this Tribunal after my evidence has been presented, where Mr Beddo again stated, Mr Simmons, one has not been issued yet.

The Reader should Note: The Appeals Tribunal is governed by acts of Parliament where the Australian Prime Minister can issue a Leader of the Government Certificate (commonly known as the Prime Minister's Certificate) to nullify my evidence under National Security. --- This is the action the Government has taken with all my previous cases and evidence, which had allowed for rulings to be in their favour.
