DECISION TRIBUNAL
|
|
Scott asked ADT to cross-question Ms Beach and was given permission. Ms Solicitor refused to attend in person
so she was about to be cross-question over the phone. 1 minute before this she
sent request to ADT and in it, she instructed ADT Judicial Officer to remove me from the Courtroom than Scott
would have opportunity to cross-question her. Ms Solicitor request was based on ‘policy’ nobody heard of. So I
was removed and Scott was alone with ADT and Law Firm acting on Uni behalf. When Scott emerged from
the Courtroom he was greatly upset. |
|
To my best knowledge his statements
were: Sue BEACH lied and lied; she didn’t say one correct word Whatever she made up I immediately
hand-in to judge evidence that makes her statement defamatory under the oath...
Judge saw everything.. And ignore everything... What’s the point coming here? | |
| ADMINISTRATIVE
DECISION TRIBUNAL HEARING 2nd DAY afternoon |
|
Judicial Member WILSON R 10
minutes prior allocated cross-question time |
| ‘Ms VS, Uni legal Director Ms Beach asked and was granted that instead of being
cross-question by plaintiff, you are asked to provide written statement. You will not be cross-questioned’
|
|
VS ‘Your Honor, thank you for this information.
However I need to ask you why didn’t you tell me that yesterday, this request was dealt at yesterdays hearing and Ms
Beach and Your Honor made mutual decision I live in Newcastle; this is the second day that I’m traveling here |
| Judicial Member WILSON
R ‘Well Ms Beach and I …. |
| 'The court thought…’ |

'We thought... ‘ |

ABUSE OF STUDENTS |
|
COMPENSATION |
| Scott was seeking $40.000 in
damages, his case is almost identical as mine, and the damages are almost the same (everything supported by evidence) Ms Beach
refused to settle and for 2 years she paying different legal firms to ‘extend’ those hearings. Scott s family life had the same destiny as mine: broken relationships | |
|
CASE MOVED TO SUPREME
COURT SYDNEY | |
| Scott made available medical reports,
psychiatrist reports, and any other medical documents to S Court and Uni. Ms Sue Beach used the
PEST POLICY in this case and put forward that STUDENT should be ‘evaluated’ by psychiatrist of Supreme
Court and Uni choice The court approved this and Scott was told to attend psychiatrist of their choice who will make 'independent'
evaluation Scott was unease about this request; He talked with me early in the morning.
I didn’t see any logic in this and all of us told him not to go |
| PHONE CALL; |
| I received phone call that afternoon. Scott was greatly upset. He was in extreme distress | |
| PSYCHIATRIST ABUSE
-
ABUSE OF POWER |
| This is my understanding of what has happen |
|
Scott attended appointment and was subject to horrible emotional abuse.
Psychiatrist behaved in an extremely unprofessional manner, making appointment very stressful and
traumatic experience. After 20 minutes psychiatrist suddenly left the room saying: I
will terminate this appointment, your behavior is not appropriate’ and left Scott alone in his surgery |  |
|
Scott was in shock, it took him 10 minutes to come to terms what’s
happened, then decide to leave. However psychiatrist had locked the door and Scott
inside. who was in state of panic, yelling through the locked door for someone to let him out, but nobody came
in rescue He tried to escape through window however once out he realized that psychiatrist
had locked all ‘IN CASE OF EMERGENCY’ doors and he didn’t know what to do. |
|
He's got panic attack due to his disability ( post traumatic
stress disorder) Than he realized that he had mobile with him, and in it number of the medical center,
so he called reception and ask nurse to unlock the door and help him go out, which she did

International Court of Criminal Appeal - HAGUE |
| Subject: Mr Packer |
| Dear Sir Madam, I do not expect help from any of you, and I am not asking for myself. However I ask if anyone
can HELP this student. He is an Australian
and like me very badly treated by University of Newcastle and Sydney's legal system.We are made from different ‘fiber’; he is not as strong
as myself. I am concern for him. He will not last. This abuse that was "set-up" by University and court was almost fatal and I feel I can’t assist him anymore,
yet to leave him to struggle
alone, it’s not in my nature |
| What I am asking; is
it possible for the police officer from any state to provide personal protection whenever he has contact with the court and University?He is intelligent, very gentle soul, about
to complete master degree, employed as a teacher. What University did to him resemble to what has been done to me. If I proceeded with hearings it could
be me who was abused. |
| It’s very
hard here and I’m not sure do any of you really understand what we are going through? Nobody's safe. Particularly is hard for minorities, I am
migrant and Mr. Packer is indigenous Australian. May I encouraged all of you to consider assisting Mr. Packer before its too late. Please Thank you in advance Vesna |

PSYCHIATRIST ABUSE - HOW IT WAS HANDLED BY STUDENT SOLICITOR | |
 |
| Scott SOLICITOR was a Supreme Court choice working for Student on a pro-bono basis. After student contacted him complaining about abuse Solicitor told that he would contact University legal
and see what has happened. He did so.
SOLICITOR returned the phone call: “Uni
legal Rep and I think that you should have another appointment with new psychiatrist, it’s your responsibility that
the appointment has been canceled, looks like they will find someone else. |
|
Scott
didn’t feel good about this - found legal firm on his own |
| New legal firm, new solicitor – after years of delay - lets start again.
New legal firm informed him that his legal issue has good prospects in the court.
They will take hic case. They told him that they would contact Supreme
Court re; hearings and affidavits and will talk with Uni Legal Rep. |
|
NEW
LEGAL FIRM – NEW REQUEST FOR PSYCHIATRIST APPOINTMENT |
| NEW legal firm’s advice: “After talking with Uni legal Unit we think
that you should have another appointment with someone else, other psychiatrist, it’s very important to do that." |
|
Scott has all evidence
from his own psychiatrist who knows him for years. I don’t believe that
specialist can see you for an hour than provide report to the court that is more valued than the statement from another specialist
who knows you for years. Even if he does that – what he has in front of
himself is the product of University abuse, damaged student, abused through the NSW courts, exposed to stress, defamation,
and lies. This doctor will never know who “the student” was before
abuse so he won’t know the difference. And our cases are just about that
– what has been done – who we were before and who we are today. The
difference is compensation. | |
|
SCOTT
ASKED FOR ADVICE |
|
I am not psychiatrist,
so my comments re; his mental health and how Uni abuse affected him is not relevant. Also I am
not judge; don’t understand the law and what has to be done. There was
no advice from me | |
|
PSYCHIATRIST ABUSE - CONSEQUENCES | |
|
YOU
ASK ME? |
|
As I said I can only give you an amateur opinion
that should not be taken seriously. I am not professional, I am victim too. However, you asked and I will respond |
|
I will not provide any support to Scott.
Nobody will go with him for this new appointment with this new psychiatrist. Scott’s health had greatly deteriorated after the last abuse orchestrated by
Uni and approved by the Supreme Court |
|
I see him as someone who cannot make reasonable
decisions anymore nor act in his own benefit. I believe that University legal
solicitor Ms Sue Beach had destroyed this student until point of no recovery |
|
Her professional neglect, lies,
defamation, delays, and ‘do-what-I-want-to-do’ attitude through the court proceedings put an end on Scott’s
health I am in no position to advice him However
I am in position not to be involved in this crime. |
|
THE
PESTS POLICY? |
|
Today is a different matter More
and more professionals are dedicated to tell the truth, rather than protect the system like in the past Ms Beach and Ms Beach-alike cant count on medical silence anymore so the Pest Policy statements from their own
carefully chosen psychiatrist might be solution to cover future abuse of students.. Scotts case is in the Supreme Court Sydney. Hearing continues |
|
UPDATE APRIL ’09 |
|
Scott
has further discussion with his ‘legal team’. This time it is even more optimistic and hopeful. He was told that his case is between 2 and 5 MILL, so for him after all abuse
he went through this sounds like heaven. However.. I ask Scott what has to be done now? The documents are complete, compensation
was weighted by the court (dare to assume) so what is between Scott and his compensation? He said that some paper-work has
to be done, he was told not to worry, that’s simply court process, they cant speed up, that’s the LAW …
Scott was in a very good spirit, very optimistic and happy to finally find a legal firm with no connection-what-so-ever with
University and the NSW Courts Scott’s case is in the Supreme Court Sydney. Hearing continues |  |
|
UPDATE APRIL ’09 |
|
Yesterday he had another hearing. He had called me to let me know what’s happening
Although Scott’s case was hand over to the Supreme Court in late 2007 few things regardless his case are greatly concerns
me. Not him, but me. |
| Ms Solicitor of …..etc, etc..
still didn’t hand over evidence she said she would relay on. |
|
Scott didn’t have hearing in front of the Judge and the Jury despite request being
filled to the Registry in appropriate manner and according to the law. |
|
Scotts allegation against psychiatrist who abused him was sent to court. Ms Beach never
responded accurately nor explained why there’s no response in defence of psychiatrist of her choice. Scott discussed
this issue with his legal team and was told that Ms Beach was surprised by his allegation because psychiatrist report was
in Scotts benefit. |
| I asked Scott if all of this took place
at the hearing than why the matter can’t proceed in front of jury or be settled by University. |
|
Scott was unhappy about my comment He thought I’m too much into ‘conspiracy
theory’ They can’t proceed because Uni didn’t hand in evidence I asked him how
he feels about all this delay, but the Scott I knew is not here anymore. From the day he was abused by psychiatrist he is
very different person from the student I knew. This Scott is unusually optimistic, the legal case he was so concern in the
past suddenly is not issue to be ‘concern about’ He is over-confident with this new legal team (lawyers who are
finally on his side, who don’t know any judge from the Sydney’s Court
nor have any contact with University) He is very easily distracted and at times
I am not sure he can process all I have said… |
| Many of you asked me how different he is,
what I mean with that and to explain more my concerns. All I can come up with; |
|
Like my younger daughter; when I asked her teacher why her
performance is so appalling in school (we did consider all what has happened, we understand the trauma she went through, she
knows that both her parents love her unconditionally) so why she can’t move? |
| Her response was: “She lost the ZEST for life, there’s
no other explanation, she simply lost that sparkle she was so ‘famous for’ |
|
Scotts case is in the Supreme Court Sydney. Hearing continues | |
| UPDATE MAY 23 |
|
Scott talked with me yesterday.His case is going very well His legal team stated they will take
care of everything, he doesn’t need to attend the Hearings Although in the Supreme Court for 2 years he is told just
few days ago that this new legal firm still didn’t handed in all the evidence on his behalf. Now, they have a new theory and that is, "University is not who we will 'go after' We have to find the names of Academics
who were in Academic Senate (people responsible for all decisions in relationship with any claim) Scots team believe
those people are responsible - not University. So it will take time to find out who they are whether they are still there
or are they retired? I asked Scott what he made of this statement and he was impressed. He said that this legal firm works
hard, their 'best' barrister and lawyers are involved... The whole team is dedicated to assist him, it might take time
but his case is between 2 and 5 MILL...
millions
of dollars worth smile | |
|
Scott was informed about psychiatrist report (that is in his benefit) yet
he never received the copy. University refuses to respond and he is still denied the right
to have the Judge and the Jury trial His case is hanging between different registrars Despite all of this there’s no
single concern in Scots behavior. He said that University requested from Court another psychiatrist appointment - this time
with his treating doctor who he knows for years. He is ok with that |
| YOU
ASK WHAT I THINK? |
|
Scott asked the same but I cant make any statements. I don’t understand legal proceedings, role of the
judge, legal process... I can’t make comment about the system I don’t understand. The only thing I can say is; I
do not agree with Scots statement that University still refuse to respond. University did respond very clearly. |

the HERALD THURSDAY MAY
21st 09 Crisis draggs UNI $1.4MILL into RED |
Uni in RED or not d
VC Prof Saunders earns more than the PM KEV747 | |
|
Like with my legal case, their response was public cry for help Who knows, it worked
once maybe it will work again Whenever Uni is in crisis Citizens would donate in fear that if Uni is closed their children
might lose only chance to study Everyone can’t afford to send children to distant Uni and they would do everything to
make sure that this University survives If that means donations, so be it. |  |
| UPDATE JUNE 8 '09 |
|
I received phone call from Scott who was in a very good spirit What I liked about Scott was his wittiness and brightness to
pick up the things between ‘the words’ He was very good in that. You didn’t need to spend hours explaining
something – he would understand ‘the issue’ and was able to respond exactly to the problem – he was
so good in that. |
|
This Scott is just a shadow of what he was once. Many of you told me; How one appointment
could do so much harm? But I know what many of you don’t – because it happened to me – one appointment
with the social worker had change my life, ruined my marriage and scared my children for life. It was professional abuse,
planed and skilled. Neither Scott nor I stood the chance. |
| Scott was happy, he said he was free this evening and asked me if I was busy and if not am I free to talk? He
just received letter from his legal team and in it request: he must attend appointment (not with his doctor) with the new
psychiatrist. It was Supreme Court order based on Ms Sue Beach request I asked
Scott what he will do about this? |
| But Scott was so joyful, one more appointment and that’s it, considering that the psychiatrist who abused
him wrote the report in Scott’s favor. If new psychiatrist do the same than Uni wouldn’t have grounds to
make complains. |
| I asked him is he concern about seeing someone he doesn’t know? |
|
He laughed and laughed before saying that he didn’t
believe how ‘big scary mouse’ I turned into. Than he jumped to another subject
about someone he meet few days ago than after 5 min returned to our conversation and asked me; What’s there to be frightened
about? I simply couldn’t wait for all this s…t to be over; if I need
to see 10 psychiatrists I wouldn’t mind. Phew, no big deal. He informed me that Ms Beach took his legal
team seriously and after 5 years (from court to court) she found legal firm to present University. |
| “So those two years in the Supreme Court were not serious enough?” |
| But Scott was gone from this topic, he told me he is about to go out, he has some
friends waiting for him and he said he appreciate my interest in this case and thanked me for the
phone call. He promised next time he will contact me. |
|
Scott’s case is in Supreme Court Sydney from
2007 |
|
University still didn’t respond. |
|
Request for judge and the jury is ignored |
| Hearing continues |

ABUSE OF STUDENTS -
UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE | |
| UPDATE
AUGUST 14th |
|
Scott’s appoitment with new psychiatrist |
|
Scott had appointment with
psychiatrist the Court recommended. This time Scott was not abused. Looks like this time Scott had an expert from psychiatric
field. After just 2 hours and one 15 min questionnaire, psychiatrist came up with diagnosis. Lucky Scott. Some patients had
to visit psychiatrist for 12 months before diagnosis is established, but this doctor...wow. Some people with psychiatric
injury are just plain lucky. Lucky Scott. I asked Scott what’s his understanding of his case, what else had to be done
before hearing in front of jury takes place? Scott is very confident, everything is in hands of his law firm (with no connection
to supreme court whatsoever) he doesn’t need to attend any hearings, and they will do that for him. It will cost a fortune...
but its worth. There’s a lot of written correspondence between Scott and his legal firm; he sees that as very professional
and very expensive | |
