The Home of Ashley Stephen Geelan’s Lies
Ashley Geelan has selected the wrong enemy. Geelan used his Kinglake Ranges News blog to malign the reputation of Craig Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Murrindindi Shire Council. Mr Lloyd, a former policeman, has a hard-won and impeccable reputation in Victoria’s local government arena. Geelan’s posts include wrongful allegations that people connected with […]
It is as if Ashley Geelan fears that the authorities are about to raid the Housing Commission residence at Reservoir that he shares with his common law wife. It is as if he is concerned that his computer drives will be seized, and the files thereon used against him in multiple potential prosecutions. A perfect […]
Ashley Geelan was caught out telling more lies back in 2015. His posts can still be seen in the public forum for the Reckon accounting software group. Geelan represented that he was an important ABC on-air presenter, and made threats that he would use the ABC Twitter account to publicise unfavourable comments about the company’s […]
Ashley Geelan found genuine hatred from fellow ham radio operators, as far back as 2004. One fellow operator told an Internet news group: “Unfortunately in recent times Ashley has suffered the collapse of the Geelan empire which included the closing down of his fantastic Yahoo email group and the Australian Communications Authority raiding his house […]
Amidst the tragedy of the Black Saturday fire in which so many Kinglake people died, there is a speckle of dark local humour. Locals smile at how Ashley Geelan, at every opportunity, describes himself as a local hero, with details of how he saved lives and buildings in the 2009 tragedy. One of the Kinglake […]
Ashley Geelan conducted a malicious campaign on 27/10/2017 against a Kinglake businessman (name withheld), with allegations that superannuation contributions had not been paid to staff. In his usual coward punch mode, Geelan withdrew his blog report and ‘Geelan Media’ social media posts, as soon as he was challenged. “He rang me and said this is […]
Ashley Geelan’s Kinglake Ranges News blog is publishing fake ad links for get-rich-quick bitcoin scams. The advertisements above Geelan’s masthead are links supposedly to a news.com.au (News Corp) website, but actually go to a domain that promotes investments in cryptocurrency. It is entirely Geelan’s choice whether to include these advertisements on his website or not. […]
Ashley Geelan received some good advice from a respected Kinglake man, Anthony McDonald (02/06/2019): “Go collect trolleys for Woolies, you’ll never been a journalist.” Geelan rejected the excellent advice from Mr. McDonald. Pushing a shopping trolley, even on flat ground, would be too much like hard work for a dole bludger like Geelan. At the […]
Ashley Geelan went orgasmic this month when he discovered that a local library had copies of his school newspaper from the early 1990s. Geelan compared the discovery to having sex. Ashley thought this inconsequential find, from 25 years ago, gave him exclusive world-wide rights to the name ‘Vic News’ in 2019. Whilst Geelan was having […]
Ashley Geelan and his common law wife have been on a tear lately, accusing everyone that enters their tiny minds of creating the Geelan Lies website. In his latest episode of alcohol and drug fuelled harassment, Geelan accuses a local resident of being behind the website and also of abusing a disabled child. This is […]
On Tuesday (29/10/2019), Ashley Geelan registered a business name at his Housing Commission address at <Address redacted, Ed.>, Reservoir. Centrelink, which administers Austudy and Newstart payments, takes a keen interest in businesses being run by welfare payment recipients. The Victorian Government’s Department of Health and Housing requires that a tenant, resident or household member obtains […]
The results are in! To say they are overwhelming is an understatement! Out of a total of 121 votes, 117 responses indicated that Ashley Geelan is NOT welcome in Kinglake. Only four votes indicated the other way. The team at Geelan Lies has determined that based on IP address data that these four responses were […]
There was a time (specific date TBC) when Ashley Geelan was blind drunk at the Kinglake Pub and attempted to negotiate a steak sandwich whilst being half asleep and close to unconscious. A local man in the pub was talking to someone else up at the bar, when Geelan tapped the man on the back […]
Ashley Geelan believes that insulting a Kinglake pioneer in her eighties is part of being a local journalist. All other reporters believe that being a local news gatherer is about community service, encouraging local projects, and fostering residents with their good works. Geelan also declares himself as the hero of the Black Saturday fires in […]
Information has come to the attention of the team at Geelan Lies of a very disturbing altercation between Ashley Geelan and the local constabulary at Kinglake. During one of his many arrests by Victoria Police in Kinglake, Geelan lost the plot and decided that he didn’t want the local coppers anywhere near him. At this […]
Ashley Geelan cannot stop from making a fool of himself and from potentially getting in further trouble with the law. We received another message on Sunday morning (27/10/2019) from Geelan at 10:22am from a Swiss IP address: 195.176.3.20 The content of the message was: Geelan is going to name you as the publisher of Geelan […]
Despite claiming via a Facebook group post last week that our quality content didn’t bother him, Geelan’s embarrassing attempts to contact the team here at Geelan Lies have backfired stupendously on Kinglake’s exiled village idiot. We received two messages on Saturday afternoon (26/10/2019) from Geelan, who used a poorly disguised alias as Pete Smith (Peter […]
How popular is Ashley Geelan and his behaviour amongst Kinglake locals? Robbie Tucknott wrote to Geelan via Facebook on 04/09/2019: You have single handedly seen the loss of almost 100 members from this group in under a fortnight.
What do Kinglake people really think about Ashley Geelan? Respected Black Saturday survivor, Anthony McDonald, summed it up in a Facebook post from a few months ago (02/06/2019): “You’re the most untrustworthy person living in Melbourne. A joke, a thief and a liar.”
Kinglake blogger Ashley Geelan was again caught telling ‘porkies’, according to a report in The Local Paper this year (08/02/09). Ashley Geelan went on the internet, claiming Leader newspaperman Peter Xeni had described Geelan in 1994 as the “best work experience student we’ve ever had”. Xeni said this is not true. Xeni did not even […]
When Ashley Geelan started his Kinglake Ranges News blog, he made the big promise of a 24/7 news service for local people. Now that Ashley no longer lives in Kinglake, but about 50km away in Reservoir, he seems to have lost all interest in the people of 3757 and 3763. Perhaps he never had any […]
The following is from a new first-time contributor: The following article appeared on Ashley Geelan’s blog on 28/08/2017. It was written retrospectively and simply fabricated as filler for his website. More lies. The goal posts were installed on 11/03/2017. Geelan’s article was posted some five months later in August the same year. Ben Duhig was […]
Telling lies is a large part of Ashley Geelan’s criminal life. His priors include theft; a lack of respect for other people’s property. A magistrate found proven the allegation that Ashley Geelan lifted money (not his) from the cash register at Kinglake Pub. Ashley was caught on CCTV, pinching $50 from the till. Ashley had […]
On 11/4/2019, Ashley Geelan posted on Twitter: “I don’t do drugs and only drink light beer (0.08% AV) or non-alcoholic beer (0.01% AV).” Yeah, sure, Ashley. In other posts, Ashley Geelan says he has been smoking marijuana since age 14. In other posts, Ashley Geelan often talks about drinking full-strength beer on a daily basis. […]
Ashley Geelan claims exclusive intellectual property rights to the name “Vic News”, based on his father Graeme getting a library classification number for a Montmorency school newspaper, back in the 1990s. The library classification then went into disuse for more than 20 years. Any proposition that Geelan has intellectual property or commercial rights to the […]
Ashley Geelan is two-faced when it comes to racism. On 23/10/2019, Geelan posted a cringe-worthy virtue signalling tweet: “What is this racism thingy? Not how I was raised. Fat, skinny, black blue, white, green or purple, First Nations, Maori, Asian, Yankee. There’s only one race. The human race. We all belong to it.” Ashley must […]
You can never trust Ashley Geelan’s reporting. He has a talent for consistently getting things wrong. The following is a prime example: Ashley published an online blog entry on 14/11/2018 that a nine-year-old Mernda girl was sexually assaulted. There never was any suggestion of a sexual assault. A man grabbed the girl’s bicycle handle bars. […]
In addition to the lies that Ashley Geelan tells on a daily basis, he commits another journalistic sin. He is the world’s most boring storyteller. Over and over, crap about himself, crap about his Amiga computer in the 1990s, crap about his ham radio. Crap, crap, crap. Ashley genuinely believes that people are interested in […]
Ashley Geelan has continued to breach the cease and desist order issued against him with more online comments on 23/10/2019
Lies are part of Ashley Geelan’s arsenal. At the end of 2018, Ashley put himself in the same league as Brian Naylor (who was a newsreader and TV personality, but no journalist), George Negus, Jana Wendt, Mal Walden, Jennifer Kyte, Jon Faine, Ray Martin, Kerry O’Brien, and Mike Willesee. Brian Naylor was playfully described by […]
More quality insights from one of our best contributors. Late last year, Ashley Geelan suggested that paper bags of money had influenced a Council planning permit decision in Kinglake West. It was a lie. “The article and headline contain allegations about Council which are entirely baseless,” said a letter sent to Kinglake Ranges News by […]
Appearing like a common ice addict on The Project in July, 2019, Ashley Geelan had one fairly simply job to do. And he cocked that up. It’s piss-funny. What a media star! PMSL
The following was submitted by a good friend of this site. Ashley Geelan was “getting fried” in the days leading-up to Christmas 2018, and it had nothing to do with Colonel Sanders. Ashley Geelan decided to “crank” up his attacks on the Murrindindi Shire Deputy Mayor Leigh Dunscombe. In a clear example of substance-fuelled paranoia, […]
Can this bloke stoop any lower? It seems so. Parts of this post come to us from public contributions. It is a ad to see Ashley Geelan throw his late mother’s reputation under a bus. Geelan described his mother, Cheryl Anne Mitchell, as a “groupie” of the Fraternity and Valentines. A “groupie” is defined as […]
Ashley Geelan’s reputation continues as the state’s laziest “journalist”. As at Thursday lunchtime (24/10/19), Geelan’s ‘Kinglake Ranges News’ website has not had a Murrindindi news item for eight days. So much for his loud claims that it is the number one local news website, with millions of readers. Not a single local sports result for […]
This contribution comes to the team at Geelan Lies from another concerned reader. Ashley Geelan likes to lie. Sometimes Ashley tells the same lie, over and over again. A week or two back, Ashley posted on social media that lawyers Maurice Blackburn were sending out invoices that day on behalf of himself and his fellow […]
Credit: a much appreciated, anonymous contributor One of Ashley Geelan’s ongoing lies is that he is owed money by local publishers for his community news contributions. He is owed nothing. Not a single cent. Ashley Geelan last published that he was owed more than $70,000. That’s a lie. Then, in a wild claim, Geelan’s figure […]
Thank you to a contributor for this outstanding contribution. Ashley Geelan just keeps on telling more lies. One of Ashley’s online reports was headlined ‘Kinglake Ranges bus service at risk’. It was a work of complete fiction. “The Kinglake Ranges risks losing its only public bus service … the bus service is now at risk […]
It is no secret that Ashley Geelan is an illicit drug abuser. Ashley has regularly and frequently admitted on social media to using marijuana since the age of 14. Ashley has insisted that the consumption of marijuana in order to get high was based on the recommendation of a family doctor. The team at Geelan […]
Once again Ashley Geelan has been caught out on his lies. For years, Ashley has claimed that Leader Newspapers had said he was “the best they ever had”. New information has come to light today, thanks to Ashley and his big mouth. In the past, Ashley has claimed this quote was attributed to Peter Xeni […]
Over the past 24 hours, Geelan Lies has become the number one website in Victoria, recording over 1 million hits! We thank all those who have checked us out and helped trigger Ashley Stephen Geelan once again. A special thanks go out to the hundreds of people who have sent us screenshots and information on […]
In his long running vendetta against Ash Long and The Local Paper Ashley Geelan has certainly changed his position over time. At this point in time Ashley not only claimed he “worked” for 3LO, 3AW and others he was very positive towards Ash Long and The Local Paper. He stated he was a freelancer, interesting […]
Ashley Geelan has again been called out by a Kinglake local. We have received and verified as real the following contribution from an interested local. Ashley Geelan is telling porkies again. Kinglake’s own one-handed typist (that’s a lie, he lives at <Address Redacted, Ed.> Reservoir) is now asserting that he has Southern Hemisphere rights to […]
So it turns out our friendly Kinglake scumbag has been stealing the name “Kinglake Ranges News” from our treasured community institution The Mountain Monthly. Ashley constantly goes on and on about people stealing his work yet, he is actually on the stealing! Below is a report from one of our readers and a confirmed source […]
On the evening of 22/10/2019, Ashley Geelan once again ran from the Kinglake community and from any real scrutiny. In screenshots provided to the team at Geelan Lies by a number of upstanding citizens, Ashley is seen continuing to defame decorated local police officers as well as a number of well known local citizens. Ashley […]
On Monday, October 21, 2019, Ashley “Scoop” Geelan decided to go on another online rampage. This time his target was one of his usual targets, the members of the Kinglake Police Station. Ashley has long had an issue with Victoria Police in Kinglake after being apprehended and charged on a number of occasions. In addition […]
Kinglake’s exiled village idiot, a lifelong dole bludger, and professional victim “I’ve been sponging [sic] off the government since I came into this world, and I will continue to do so until I am on [sic] me deathbed.” – Ashley Geelan, circa 2016. The aim of the Geelan Lies website is to attempt to hold […]
