In this profoundly emotional conclusion to his multi-part testimony, Victorian lawyer Thomas Flitner lays bare the devastating personal and psychological toll of what he describes as a 15-year campaign of retaliation, isolation, and regulatory warfare by the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C).<br />This is not just a story about law. It is the story of a man whose life was dismantled by the very system meant to uphold justice.<br />⚠️ What This Episode Reveals:<br />💸 Financial Destruction by Design<br /> Following the forced takeover of his practice, Thomas was left with:<br /> • Over $1 million in losses<br /> • A $200,000 tax debt<br /> • A $200,000 invoice from VLSB-appointed manager Nick Curran, who denied Thomas's employment and sabotaged his WorkCover claim.<br />🧠 Mental Collapse and Isolation<br /> Thomas speaks openly about:<br /> • Being abandoned by his de facto partner<br /> • His son growing up believing he’s a failure<br /> • Complete alienation from family and the legal profession<br /> • Spending holidays alone, contemplating suicide<br />🧾 A System Designed to Crush<br /> Thomas alleges that the VLSB’s strategy includes:<br /> • Draining lawyers of financial resources<br /> • Targeting their lawyers (like Glen Mohammed and Stephen Walters)<br /> • Using threats, litigation, and delay tactics to drive them to breakdown<br /> • Then claiming success when they’re struck off, broken, or gone<br />🛑 No Oversight. No Accountability.<br /> Despite managing a $3.2 billion Public Purpose Fund, Thomas says the VLSB acts as “a law unto itself” — with no transparency, no checks, and no real protection for vulnerable lawyers or whistleblowers.<br />🗣️ “Today it’s me. Tomorrow, it could be you.”<br />Thomas’s final words are a warning to every legal professional and citizen:<br /> “Is this still Australia — or is this Venezuela, with secret raids, no oversight, and fear instead of justice?”<br />💬 Why You Must Watch:<br />If you are:<br />A lawyer feeling pressure from regulators,<br />A citizen who values justice and transparency,<br />Or anyone failed by a system meant to protect you —<br /> You need to hear this story.<br />This is a call to conscience.
