| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
So, you received a phone call from your father in the evening and you spoke to him? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
How long for, 10, 15 minutes? |
| Applicant: |
Probably longer, maybe twenty. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Twenty minutes and then he telephoned you and then you telephoned him back at the family home? |
| Applicant: |
I think it may have happened that way. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
After that telephone conversation with your father you sent a text message to your mother, correct? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Have a look at that document please? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You sent that text message to your mother? |
| Applicant: |
It was a voice message. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You left that voice message on your mother’s telephone that evening? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
... ... ... ... ... ...
|
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You couldn’t get through to your mother, is that right? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
And so shortly after that, that was at 10.40, you called Wendy Tinkler? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Wendy Tinkler was somebody whom you understood to be at the home at that point in time? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Left a voicemail message on her phone? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
I show you this document. |
... ... ... ... ... ...
|
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You also left a text message on Wendy Tinkler’s phone? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
I show you this document which is a photocopy of a text message and I just ask you to identify that please at the text message you sent to Wendy Tinkler? |
| Applicant: |
Yes that’s true. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You were threatening to go to the police with allegations of sexual assault against Mr Dyers unless Wendy Tinkler desisted from going to the police? |
| Applicant: |
Yes, that’s what I was saying. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
So it is true that your allegation was you had been sexually abused between the ages of 12 and 15 by Mr Dyers? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Indeed you say in your email, one of those communications, that between the ages of 12 and 15 didn’t you? |
| Applicant: |
yes. |
... ... ... ... ... ...
|
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
I take it what you are saying is that you, at that point, were contemplating not going to the police at all? |
| Applicant: |
It was a bluff. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You were playing games were you? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
About whether or not you were going to make a complaint? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
It was a bluff? |
| Applicant: |
I was going to the police. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Right? |
| Applicant: |
But I told Wendy that if she didn’t stop lying about my Dad hitting her that I would go to the police. But I was going to go there anyway. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Were you? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You hadn’t been to the police prior to that? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You didn’t go to the police in Melbourne with your father? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
That was a bluff was it? |
| Applicant: |
I don’t know if that is the right word. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
I want to put it to you that those allegations of sexual assault were just a pack of lies. |
| Applicant: |
They’re true. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You were seeking to use that threat to manipulate somebody and stop them from going to the police about the incident at [the family home]? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
I suggest to you that you used that allegation of sexual assault against Mr Dyers in an endeavour to manipulate your boyfriend… previously? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
... ... ... ... ... ...
|
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Wendy Tinkler did not act on your threat, did she? |
| Applicant: |
No. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You acted on yours? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You subsequently went to the police and made statements with respect to allegations of sexual assault by Mr Dyers? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
... ... ... ... ... ...
|
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
You are aware that Mr Dyers committed suicide on 25 July 2007? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
| Hamilton-Dyers’ Solicitor: |
Are you aware that occurred after he was notified of your allegations? |
| Applicant: |
Yes. |
