Target: Department of Veterans Affairs
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
In 1969 an Ordinary Seaman serving in the Royal Australian Navy was arrested and charged with the mutilation and Murder of 12 year old victorian girl Yvonne Tuohy at Western Port Beach.

This Ordinary Seaman's name is Derek Percy. He is also suspected of several other mutilation murders of young children. At his trial the jury found that he was unfit to stand trial due to insanity.

Percy has been in Jail at the Governors pleasure since. He recently revealed that he had amassed over $177,000.00 due to receipt of a pension of $200.00 per fortnight paid to him by the Australian Government.

Request that the Department of Veterans Affairs review this pension entitlement with a view to having it stopped and recovering any monies already paid.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Australian Parliament to review the payment of pension to Mr. Derek Percy, (suspected child mutilator and murderer, currently incarcerated at the pleasure of the Governor of Victoria) with a view to ceasing such payments and recovering monies already paid. Should legislation be required to achieve this result, we request required legislation be enacted.
