If you appeared on Australian television with a mountain of unbelievable claims, spent the next few months watching these claims unravel one by one as they were publicly debunked and then found yourself exposed online and then on national television, what would your natural reaction be?

I’d imagine you’d probably accept that you were caught out and try to move on quietly move on with life disassociating yourself from the scandal as much as possible.

If you’re Jonathan Nolan however, despite everything that has happened thus far surrounding the Starwalker scandal, you don’t admit to anything and threaten to launch defamation action.

After all, you’re clearly the victim here.

A Current Affair ran a story last night on the Starwalker tv show hoax and Jonathan Nolan. Although it doesn’t introduce any new information about Starwalker since the SMH report a few weeks ago, it’s a nice summary of the hoax so far.



At the very end of the report is the interesting comment that Jonathan Nolan is considering defamation action in relation to Starwalker. This confirmed by a blog entry on Nolan’s ‘Inherited Tigers‘ blog.

Despite numerous communications in relation to the risk of defamation should they (the police) rely on the tissue of lies about me perpetrated by a disgruntled alleged ex-employee and a group of sociopaths on one of the worst websites on the internet, the cyberbullying, defamation and general persecution of me (and others I might add) has now reached proportions that will only be redressed by thorough, detailed and ongoing legal action in defamation.


I presume the alleged ex-employee is none other then Robert Brand who claims that Nolan owes him $200,000 plus four weeks pay.

The group of sociopaths he refers to is most likely the crew at Zgeek. Nolan has a legal history with Zgeek which started when his mate Greg Smith decided to sue Zgeek for forty million dollars (not a typo).

Nolan has previously taken Zgeek to court for defamation but lost.

To prove defamation Jonathan Nolan will have to show that

a. There were any investors in Starwalker to begin with. Nolan has claimed from the start that the entire $100 million in costs were paid upfront by mysterious unnamed investors. These investors were allegedly first from Russia and then from the Middle East.

b. Robert Brand was never hired as an associate producer and isn’t owed $200,000 due to cancellation of Starwalker and four weeks pay for work he did on the show.

c. Stephen Hawking was involved in Starwalker despite Hawking’s personal assistant, J. Croasdell stating “Please note that Prof. Hawking does not have any involvement with the reality TV show ‘Starwalker’“.

d. Starwalker was never cancelled.

e. Jonathan Nolan was never struck of the Roll of Legal Practitioners in 2002 for ‘specific and serious misconduct’, despite what the legal transcript says.

f. Polkadot PR did publish the initial press release for Starwalker despite Dionne Taylor of Polkadot PR stating ‘I definitely didn’t write this‘.

g. Red Vision (a UK based special effects company) were co-producers of Starwalker despite Red Vision Managing Director, Dave Mousley stating “We are, as I have stated, involved as Vfx producers, but not as CO- PRODUCERS of the show“.

h. That two space flights were booked on the Soyuz/STARSEM launch vehicle in Russia despite Chief Operating Officer of Starsem, Victor Nikolaev stating “Starsem isn’t involved in manned space programs“.


Either all of the above is false, or Jonathan Nolan is lying through his teeth in claiming that the above points are all just a “tissue of lies about me“.

Either way it seems we won’t be finding out anytime soon, for now Nolan is remaining tight lipped.

Until the conclusion of the defamation proceedings and other investigations I will not be making any further private or public remarks, other than to say I am being defamed, allegations against me and about me are untrue and indeed disgraceful.


Personally I think we’ve kind of long gone past the benefit of the doubt stage, there’s simply just too much third party damning evidence against Nolan for anyone to take him seriously.

I for one can’t wait to buy some popcorn and watch this unfold. Especially if Channel 9 and A Current Affair are dragged into the tangled web of Nolan and the his lawsuits.

One can only wonder just how far Nolan will go to prove his alleged innocence in all of this. I mean it’s not like he was the executive producer of Starwalker or anything right?
