Ex-state and federal politician – was deeply involved in the initial and current attempts to discredit Ken and Kenja.

• Annette Stephens/ Bianchi and Mutch link very early in the 1992-1993 plan to attack Ken and Kenja.
• Mutch is fraught with personal reasons to discredit Ken and Kenja.
• He is the link, when a state member of parliament, to powers of the state.
• With Stephens/ Bianchi in November 1992 he conspires to make a short speech in parliament denigrating Ken and Kenja.
• The speech is full of tabloid newspaper-grabbing headlines – that can be quoted in the newspapers free of defamation.
• It was a cheap move – because anything spoken in parliament can be quoted free of defamation.
• And it was used to hype up the 1992 attack against Ken and Kenja. A plan Annette Stephens/ Bianchi and Mutch were involved in together.
• It worked.The local paper in the area where Mutch lived, carried an article quoting this inflammatory, deceitful speech.
• It was this article that may have come to the attention of Wendy Beaver who lived in that area.
• With Annette Stephens, Mutch continues to target newspapers and media to discredit Ken and Kenja.
• Mutch can be linked to deprogrammings. He is linked to the 1992 CultAware and uses it to promote his causes.
• It is to Mutch that the post-deprogrammed, mentally unstable Michael Beaver goes. Michael writes, for Stephen Mutch, a letter bad mouthing Ken and Kenja. Mutch touts this letter in parliament after Michael’s suicide.
• After Michael Beaver’s suicide, Annette Stephens/ Bianchi and Mutch flaunt this tragedy in their attack on Ken and Kenja.
• It is through this suicide, that Stephens/ Bianchi and Mutch finally get the break they are looking for in the media – A Current Affair picks up the story.
• Deeply involved in the attack against Ken and Kenja, Mutch is exposed, through Annette Stephens’ diary, as meeting with Stephens/ Bianchi, the head of CultAware, and others to discuss “New Tactics” in this attack.
• It is after this “New Tactics” meeting that the apparent targeting of young women emerges, to bring molestation charges against Ken in 1993.
• One of the young women claim Annette Stephens “pushed” her into seeing Mutch.
• The 3 girls (sisters) present at Michael Beaver’s apparent deprogramming are schooled to allege molestation against Ken after A Current Affair picks up the story again.
• They do not go to police.
• They do not tell all to their mothers.
• They communicate to Stephen Mutch and Annette Stephens.
• Stephen Mutch flies down to Melbourne to interview one of the sisters and her best friend, in the company of Stephens/Bianchi, who tell him their intention about Kenja is to “eventually close it if possible”.
• Mutch does not take the girls to police, but to a local solicitor.
• He does not involve police.
• He gets the Police Minister involved.
• The Police Minister sends a brief to detectives.
• These detectives are operating under a directive from the police minister when they interview these girls.
• All this emerges and more when Mutch is under cross-examination in the 1993 trial of Ken (remember – Ken was exonerated of all charges)
• Mutch however was exposed in court.
• He erased laughter from the recording he took of his interview with the girls, complaining it was a mistake and to have done it accidentally.
• His involvement with Stephens/ Bianchi was exposed.
• Mutch was to eventually lose pre-selection for his seat.
• He did a doctorate on “cults” at university and now apparently travels and lectures on “cults”.
• As far as we are aware he is still the patron of CIFS.
• The same crowd appear in Melissa’s movie.
•  WHERE IS SHE COMING FROM?
