Petitioning Flashcab Australia

Pay the Court Ordered Debt of $7125.56 to Quadriplegic man with wife and two young children.

    Andrew Evans

    Windaroo, Australia

Flashcab Australia retrofitted our car to make it wheelchair accessible after I became a quadriplegic – but their shoddy work meant it rusted to bits in under four and a half years, and they've left us $7,125.56 out of pocket since then by refusing to pay the court ordered debt to my family.

I became a C4/C5 Quadriplegic in 2001 after a rugby league accident. I've tried hard to rebuild my life since then; I got married, had two beautiful daughters and regained employment. After selling our first home, moving in with my mother-in-law, we got a car retrofitted for my disability so we had some sense of independence still. Then it rusted out, becoming unusable in under four and a half years and left us stranded.

We were forced to extend our mortgage to cover the cost of repair because Flashcab refused to repair their faulty modifications. Now even after QCAT court ordered them to repay us, they're refusing to take responsibility and pay us.

This is a company that's taking advantage of people with disabilities – doing shoddy work and walking away from their responsibilities. They continue to show a blatant disregard to a former customer of their business which shows how genuine they really are.

After being in a bus accident and being re-injured, I live in constant pain and haven’t been able to return to work. All through this time I've had to battle Flash Cab just to pay our family what they're owed.

What's shocking to me – is that the Queensland Government still contracts to Flash Cab Australia through the Vehicle Options Subsidy Scheme (VOSS), paying them thousands of taxpayers’ dollars per retrofit despite their shoddy work and unfair treatment.

I call on the QLD Disability Minister the honourable Tracy Davis MP to deregister FLASHCAB AUSTRALIA from the Vehicle Options Subsidy Scheme until FLASHCAB AUSTRALIA honours the court order.

As for a lot of people, seven thousand dollars is a lot of money to us, and we just find it so unfair that after all these years we're still out of pocket. I am asking you to sign and share this petition to as many people as you can to make the public aware of what Flashcab Australia’s owner's John and Helen Cooper are capable of doing to their past and future customers.

I will not stop this petition until Flashcab Australia pays the court ordered sum owing to us – this is about basic decency and fairness now. Please help.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
