This is an image of my empty fridge today.
Would a society be unhappy with the corrupt ways of thinking from managers in their decision making? Would Australian society be happy that many experts in different fields of learning are experiencing poverty, well below the poverty line as western countries’ averaged out in the level of welfare poverty and payment. We are all society.
Mine is only one story but a very representative one, like a canary in the mine. However, it is an indication that society needs a more compassionate change than the reductive type of economics that political powers are imposing.
For Queensland, and possibly Australia, I am the leading scholar of big belief and big doubt, a field otherwise known as cognition histories and sociology. Yet since the end of 2017, I have had no payment for my work for which many institutions and organisations benefit. My Centrelink payment is for me to find work, which I diligently performed. Yet in higher education there are not such jobs where I am recognised. When I have applied in hundreds of job applications, I have been rejected.
And yet not a single academic has rejected, or even formally criticised, my work to my face. And the evidence is massive for my excellent performance: Misunderstandings about Unemployment and Under-Employment. I have attached the Excel Spreadsheets of hours not paid in the periods: 2011-2013, 2016 (the year Ruth died), 2017, 2018, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2022-2025 (to date). Whereas the other periods are 95% inclusive of all work which could be accounted for, the 2022 to 2025 period is far less inclusive of all work in that period. To be fair in claims on institutions or organisations, I have only sorted out a three year calendar (attached) the major contributions I have made to the fields of learning, and research. This has come to a total (to date) of 663 hours which, if changed at the very low rate of $25.00, would be $16,575.00.
Another example, I am concerned for institutional type of decision-making in the cognition process, thinking as a global top-line scholar think today, following my reading of Walter Marsh’s article in the InQueensland (May 23, 2025, attached here May 23, 2025), called, “‘Chilling effect’: First Nations author denied literary prize over Palestine post”.
If you do not understand, just from reading the sources, you should say so, and I will make myself available to you to discuss and help you understand. I was a Q ANZAC Fellow at the State Library of Queensland (2015-2016; the year 2016 is the year my wife died, Ruth, at the age of 55 years), and I assume that still makes me a Fellow, as several years ago there was a discussion on this matter of recognition. My CV is attached to the email. Currently, I have been contracted as a client of Matchworks via Workforce Australia, as a long-term unemployed or uncontracted person who has performed substantial and considerable work at the global top-level scholarship (research, teaching, and publishing).
There may be the possibility of legal cases of state institutions and organisations, deciding on owing payments to me for work where the institutions and organisations benefited from my performed substantial and considerable work at the global top-level scholarship. This is a matter Matchworks is looking at.
There is considerable evidence of what I am saying, in this blog letter email, on the unjust dismissal (has significant semantics of the thinking) of the sufficient recognition for myself and demonstrated in the lack of employment and contracts. The summary of the evidence is my letter email to Matchworks on Thursday, 22 May 2025 at 15:15 (below).
To members of society, I would appreciate it if you provided these matters with deep consideration, and make some time available for me.
