According to the family, government records contained aliases that they assert have never been used by any member of the family. They claim these aliases were entered into government databases and were subsequently relied upon in the creation of debts and adverse records attributed to them.
The family claims that false information was inserted into government databases by DFAT employee Elise James, resulting in debts and adverse records being raised against identities they say were fabricated. They further claim that a false narrative was created and relied upon in administrative processes. According to the family, Elise James is scheduled to return to work on 1 July 2026.
They maintain that they have repeatedly disputed the records and are seeking answers as to how the aliases were created, entered into official systems, and subsequently used in administrative and debt-related processes.

The family states that they have been engaged in a prolonged dispute concerning information they believe was improperly recorded and relied upon within various government systems. According to the family, false information was inserted into government databases by Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) employee Elise James, leading to the creation of debts, adverse records, and administrative actions against identities that they contend were entirely fabricated.
The family asserts that these fabrications were not isolated errors but formed part of a broader and sustained pattern of misinformation that became embedded within official records and administrative processes. They maintain that the consequences of these records have been significant, affecting their personal, financial, and legal circumstances and giving rise to ongoing disputes with government agencies and institutions that relied upon the information.
Further, the family contends that a false narrative was developed around these records and that this narrative was accepted and relied upon in various administrative and decision-making processes. According to the family, this alleged narrative contributed to the continuation of adverse actions and reinforced the legitimacy of information that they maintain was inaccurate from its inception.
The family further alleges that false alias lists were inserted against each member of the family and that these aliases formed part of what they describe as a fabricated identity narrative. They contend that the alleged insertion of these false aliases resulted in substantial harm, including reputational damage, emotional distress, financial detriment, and the raising of debts and liabilities that they say were based upon false information and identities that did not exist.
According to the family, the alleged conduct caused significant detriment by creating adverse records and triggering administrative actions that would not otherwise have occurred. The family maintains that debts were unlawfully raised against them on the basis of information that they contend was false and founded upon fabricated identities and aliases.
The family also states that, despite their concerns and complaints regarding the alleged conduct, no action was taken to remove Elise James from her employment within the DFAT Passport Office while the disputed information and alleged false identity narrative remained on government systems. They contend that the absence of any employment action or intervention allowed the alleged harm and its consequences to continue unresolved.
The family states that they have repeatedly sought clarification, correction, and accountability regarding these matters. They maintain that despite raising their concerns with relevant authorities, the disputed information and its consequences have not been adequately addressed. They further contend that the alleged failures to investigate and rectify the issues have compounded the harm they say they have suffered.
According to the family, the matters they have raised involve serious questions concerning the integrity of government record-keeping, the accuracy of information held in official databases, and the processes by which administrative decisions are made and reviewed. They assert that the circumstances warrant careful examination and independent scrutiny to determine how the disputed information came to be recorded and relied upon.
The family further states that, to their knowledge, Elise James is scheduled to return to work on 1 July 2026. They contend that this development heightens their concerns and underscores the importance of ensuring that the issues they have raised are properly investigated and addressed.
