    6 November 2020 TO: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Federal Chief Health Officer Paul Kelly AND TO: others named in the schedule attached AND COPIES TO: others named in the scheduled attached. FROM: Concerned Lawyers Network All “exhibits” referred to are found on: www.concernedlawyersnetwork.net Re: Notice of Liability & Potential Claims We, the undersigned on behalf of the Concerned Lawyers Network (on behalf of pending clients, victims and those with legal standing and this lawyer network) write this open letter to request a review and wind back of measures taken by Victorian and Australian governments which were based on the premise of a Covid19 pandemic existing and/or continuing, leading to declared states of emergency, states of disaster and other related legal measures. We respectfully give you notice of potential liabilities, should there be continued reliance on this premise and subsequent overreach of powers, whilst there is overwhelming evidence against such a premise. SUMMARY POINTS 1. Covid19 (if it can be isolated) may simply be another coronavirus such as the flu or common cold. Patents for Covid19 medical testing kits however were manufactured and sold many years ago to many countries including Australia. 2. The WHO has falsely declared a pandemic in relation to Covid19. 3. Covid19 death statistics in Australia as well as in other nations have been manipulated. 4. Covid19 tests are unreliable to test any specific disease. 5. There are global agendas behind the declaration of Covid19 pandemic, to benefit certain foreign individuals and companies financially and to gain control of populations including in Australia.
