asked the Attorney-General, in writing, on 2 March 2011.

In respect of Bankruptcy Number 5091/1998 of Queensland, why did the Official Receiver of the Insolvency Trustee Service of Australia sign the applicant's debtor's petition when on page

(a) 9 of that petition, it showed a District Court judgement and costs order of 1 September 1998 against the applicant, and

(b) 19 of that petition,

(i) it showed two District Court actions against the applicant,

(ii) the applicant was asked to provide all summonses and writs to the trustee and therefore should have shown the Official Receiver that there was one summons to appear in Townsville Court on 9 October 1998, and a writ for possession of the applicant's assets,

(iii) it showed the applicant's assets had been transferred to the applicant's own trustee company for $1 406 000 on 25 September 1998, and

(iv) it showed that the applicant had gained a cash surplus of $360 000 as a result of a transfer of assets which was allegedly invested in a superannuation fund on 25 September 1998.
