Memoirs of WILLIAM HAROLD CLOUGH Memoirs of William Harold Clough Memoirs of Memoirs of WILLIAM HAROLD CLOUGH William Harold Clough Cover I guess I’ve had a fortunate life and been extremely lucky. By Mimi Packer I’ve also learnt the secret that the harder you work the luckier you get. So I think the two things are associated. Memoirs of WILLIAM HAROLD CLOUGH By Mimi Packer Memoirs of William Harold Clough By Mimi Packer Introduction This memoir is primarily for family and friends. I started writing Dad’s memoirs after he had a cataract operation. His eye specialist had instructed that he wasn’t allowed to read, and so he had no option but to talk! It was 5 July 2011 and we were at his office at 117 Broadway, Nedlands. He had his second cataract operation on 26 August 2011 and again was not allowed to Harold and Mimi 2017 read for two full days, hence the opportunity for more storytelling. While in the surgery before his operation with Dr. Fred Nagle, who is also a character, Dad said to the There was one quote Dad shared with me, that captured my heart. It comes from Rudyard nurse taking his blood pressure, “It Kipling, and epitomises the importance of family to Dad. The family should operate like will be 125/75. My blood pressure a wolf pack. is always the same. If it’s not that, then your machine must be wrong.” “The strength of the pack is the wolf and the He was right. His blood pressure strength of the wolf is the pack.” 1967 Harold and Mimi ‘Monkey Face’ was exactly 125/75. The Law for the Wolves, The Second Jungle Book Interviews have continued and I have also added notes from articles, speeches and transcripts from postcards sent by Dad’s father, John Oswald, during World War I. Dad turns 92 on 30 September. As of August 2018, he has six children, 16 grandchildren I have endeavoured to capture Dad’s memories, as much as possible, in his own words. and five great-grandchildren. He continues to work seven days a week. It has been a wonderful experience spending time with Dad and learning about his life and the experiences he’s had and the people he has shared them with. I particularly relished his often maverick and free-thinking views and opinions which are included in this book. CONTENTS 1.

  • A Police Whistleblower in a Corrupt Political System
    A police whistleblower in a corrupt political system Frank Scott Both major political parties in West Australia espouse open and accountable government when they are in opposition, however once their side of politics is able to form Government, the only thing that changes is that they move to the opposite side of the Chamber and their roles are merely reversed. The opposition loves the whistleblower while the government of the day loathes them. It was therefore refreshing to see that in 2001 when the newly appointed Attorney General in the Labor government, Mr Jim McGinty, promised that his Government would introduce whistleblower protection legislation by the end of that year. He stated that his legislation would protect those whistleblowers who suffered victimization and would offer some provisions to allow them to seek compensation. How shallow those words were; here we are some sixteen years later and yet no such legislation has been introduced. Below I have written about the effects I suffered from trying to expose corrupt senior police officers and the trauma and victimization I suffered which led to the loss of my livelihood. Whilst my efforts to expose corrupt police officers made me totally unemployable, those senior officers who were subject of my allegations were promoted and in two cases were awarded with an Australian Police Medal. I describe my experiences in the following pages in the form of a letter to West Australian parliamentarian Rob Johnson.

But, of course, Western Australia’s most famous ex-premier does care, and deeply so.
