⟡ SWANK Black Paper: Final Curtain of 2020 ⟡
When the State Refused Mediation and Demanded Control
11 December 2020
Because Accountability Feels Like Insult to the Unexamined
I. The Letter That Confirms the Theatre Was Always Personal
On 11 December 2020, the Department of Social Development (DSD) formally replied to F Chambers regarding the Supervision Order sought against Polly Chromatic.
What did they say?
They would not withdraw the application.
They insisted the matter must proceed to court—despite earlier offers to resolve the matter without litigation.
Why?
Because Polly complained.
Because Polly named the harassment.
Because Polly was correct, and they were exposed.
This wasn’t about child welfare.
This was a stage production for institutional ego.
II. Excerpts That Reveal Their True Intentions
“We have discussed this and carefully considered the ramifications…”
Translation: We know this is retaliatory. We’re filing anyway.
“We must ensure that there is a legal agreement in place to guard our position.”
Translation: We’re not safeguarding children. We’re safeguarding ourselves.
“Your client has gone to extensive lengths to discredit this Department’s veracity…”
Translation: She told the truth, and now she must be punished.
Let no one pretend this is about children.
It is about vindication by force.
III. Let the Record Show: Mediation Was Offered, Retaliation Was Chosen
They admit, on record:
Polly filed formal complaints to both the Complaints Commission and the Human Rights Commission
She named the pattern as harassment
She documented everything
She sought only transparency, fairness, and reasonableness
Their decision?
Proceed to court.
Secure a legal leash.
Neutralise the witness.
This isn’t safeguarding.
It’s a strategic silencing mechanism disguised in procedural paperwork.

The state’s integrity could not survive the mother’s truth—so they filed for supervision.
