CLEARED: Suleyman’s surprise vindication by independent inquiry, dodgy Ombudsman’s flimsy report repudiated
VEXNEWS has obtained a copy of the Department of Justice investigation into the Ombudsman’s allegations regarding Hakki Suleyman, who was adversely named in a recent report by the Ombudsman into the Brimbank council. So much so that in effect some in the media were impliedly arguing that Suleyman had forfeited his right to a) hold a job for which he is well qualified and ideally suited and had performed well in, b) participate in the political party of his choice and c) be involved in his local council.
It is a conclusion they must now reconsider unless they wish to be embroiled in defamation proceedings, in light of the findings of this independent investigation into the Ombudsman’s sensational claims.
Simply, the report vindicates and exonerates Suleyman from the serious claims made against him. It says he was involved – although makes it clear there’s no real evidence of it – in a move by some on the council to break a funding commitment to a soccer club. Hardly the biggest scandal in the world, even if it happened. The independent report makes it very clear that the move by some on the council was reconsidered by those pushing it once they had obtained advice on it. The path to hell may be paved with good intentions but in this case intending to make a council decision for political reasons but then thinking better of it can hardly be said to disqualify Hakki from his full civic rights to be a member of our community. Particularly given that he wasn’t even on the Brimbank council in the first place.
The independent report by the advisory panel damns and expressly repudiates the Ombudsman’s report in terms that most political observers will find stunning.
The advisory panel included a former Victorian Government Solicitor and an ex Chairman of the State Services Authority, two of the exact kind of people who would find themselves appointed Ombudsman should there be a vacancy.
They were investigating whether Suleyman should continue as a JP and found he ought not but that predictable finding is not really the most interesting part of the report.
Its their evaluation of the Ombudsman’s evidence and conclusions that is the juicy part.
Seldom has someone’s removal from office been such good fortune.

I’m first. In the words of Steve Langford, “Who gives a s*&t who gives a f*^k?”.
All power to you, Vexnews. This is the only site that has maintained the rage against this injustice. These two guys took a few weeks to see through the truth, while the Ombudsman’s Office spent ten months harassing and bullying people. The quest for justice and redemption continues – thanks Vexnews.
More to came on the disgraceful ombudsman report.
you can spindoctor all you like , perhaps they should hire you , try swallowing that bitter pill called “truth” and cure yourself of your self delusion
Hakki is a Honest & hardworking man,Brouwer is dodgy i hope Hakki sues them!!!
There was no improper conduct a public inquiry is now the way forward, undue influence by Brouwer’s investigators and clearly by today’s independant report there will be more to come out. Sue them i say..
20:51 response there certainly was rent paid 12 times more than any other organisation per year READ THE REPORT CAREFULLY.
1. Alleged Porn found on council Labtop of a councillor, not Hakki Suleyman as he was not a councillor
2. Criminal convicition of a unelected persons from 1980′s has no releavance but you can count on Brouwer being summoned into Magges court, cant wait..
3. Undue influence ask Gorge about this.
Troyan who is a JP and the numbers man for Gorge will his JP be revoked as he has been referred for undeclared donations from Gorge or Mammeralla JP with the porn found on Labtops at Westvale community centre. Will their JP be revoked or investigated? come on Hulls!!
good point 22:26 there needs to be an investigation on Troy Atanovski and the status of his JP.
Hulls is guttless and a AG that the Victorian community has lost confidance in his ability to be fair and open, this is the same man that had a quite “word” to the MPs who where noted in the report, Hulls states people deserve second chances but not to those who have the surname Suleyman..shame Hulls
Political report ..Political report.Timeing is interesting.STATE PRE SALECTIONS.Brouwer has to Answer.Public inquary is the best way or Courts..
JOHN BRUBY NOT DIFFERENT THEN DISGRASE JOHN CAIN”’
The fact that Vex (Labor) News has to blame an independent ombudsman for exposing their blatant corruption is disgraceful. Thank God for news media, unlike this propaganda [VEXNEWS: We'd like everyone's blatant corruption exposed and honestly described, whether they're in the ALP or Greens political party, The Age newsroom or the Ombudsman's office. ]
23.43 INDIPENDENT ombutsment my Arse.POLITICAL ombudsman
23.43 READ READ READ Above
Independent report by the Ombudsmen lets not get the truth get in the way of the media. The issue now is there is another report which questions the so called independant ombudsman report,
shame shame shame for doing this to this honest man. It’s a pity he cant sue the ombudsman becuase they have legislation protecting them but I’m sure he can sue alot of others.
This Ombudsman is just a useless c*nt.
And the truth comes out. about time how can they defame Hakki when he hasn’t done anything wrong. he should be sueing everyones ass that he can
Brouwer should resign. He has shown himself to be exactly what many in the legal fraternity have always suspected. At best a poor legal mind with questionable motivations, at worst a completely corrupted and partisan political hitman with an agenda that has no association to the pursuit of justice. His behaviour, unlike that of Hakki Suleyman, is inappropriate and unbecoming of the office that he holds. If a first year law student had have come up with the drivel spewed up and into that report they would be punted from here to Nantucket.
Indeed Andrew you may sledge the ombudsman’s report as flimsy, but not as flimsy as the ideals of your faction and behaviours exhibited by them. [VEXNEWS: Andrew Landeryou, as an independent journalist, is not a member of any political party or faction]
Hakki is a servant of the community – END OF ARGUMENT!
Madden – is lazy, a leightweight and ran a sloppy office, he MUST GO – END OF ARGUMENT!
Maddan was a tap ruckmam and is a sh*t polition
“They were investigating whether Suleyman should continue as a JP and found he ought not but that predictable finding…”
It’s pretty hard to be sacked as a JP. Not even the egregious Rowena Allsop, JP, Bail Justice, could get sacked as JP — and she was conducting bail hearings for Alfonse Gangitano and dating him at the same time. Why shouldn’t Hakki continue? I’m interested to know, being a JP myself.
