| LEGAL ASPECT OF MY MEMBERSHIP | |
UNI HAD AN ENORMOUS
LEGAL SUPPORT. AT THE END OF THE PAGE I HAVE NAMED UNI LEGAL DEFENDANTS IT INCLUDES JUDGES, MASTERS, MR. DEBUS, NSW PREMIER,
OMBUDSMAN, SC REGISTRAR AND MR SPIGELMAN NSW CHIEF JUDGE
To think that the NSW
judicial foundation would allow to be beaten publicly was doubtful; to say the least, but to allow that the woman with 'Spanglish',
disability, without legal aid could claim victory in compensational terms was ridiculous What University did, guilty or not"
- that was not an issue here - It was about NSW legal Reputation that had to be saved under any costs and terms. And yet despite
all those legal 'experts' that went against me I have won this case. Why we have government who refuses to pay compensation
to the victim of crime? That’s the matter for the Parliament question time
From the day one University
of Newcastle was Institution I raise allegation against and had wish to take them to Court. I have never thought, nor wanted
to go in legal battle with someone else. However during the Court proceedings in ADB, ADT and the Supreme Court I was stunned
by service received from the Court Staff when you follow NSW Judge Instruction. . Take my case into consideration
|
Chris
Puplick was first and the hardest barrier to pass
by. I did not understand at the beginning how is possible that the Authority WE choose to protect us from discrimination and
victimization could do just that - to discriminate and victimize us further. It was betrayal of trust among other things that
only victims like me can understand what it means and how it affects our families and us; it was frightening being unclear
why this man behaves this way and WHY ME? What he has against me? Years later I found the truth Ms Flynn and Mr. Puplick knew
each other He was accused many times of acting in favour of people he knew yet the Gov of NSW never thought it would be appropriate
to investigate this and his potential to harm further
When my matter went to ADT I lodge an allegation against
Mr. Puplick from the one and the only reason 'out of time' issue as I was concern that Mr. Puplick wanted just that; to ruin
my prospects when it comes to compensation and prevent me to go to Court to tell publicly how Ms Flynn and Ms Baker had abuse
me. Allegation against President of ADB Mr. Puplick was rejected - no explanation was given despite his
public resignation and the fact that my case was kept 3 long years in his office
|
The same had happen with ADT Mr. Simon Rice who delay my case for 18 months, had private
email correspondence with Ms Beach knowing that he is not allow to do that and finally did what I thought CANNOT happen in
civilized country - publish defamatory Decision. His motive to victimize me I still cannot understand. I was told many things,
of which I don’t have an evidence to prove so the only issue that, if proper Police investigation (from another state)
take place might come out based on evidence is that what was written on ADT website was written by Ms Sue Beach - (long version
was removed after I published "The Truth') but I have a copy of original defamation. There is also evidence of Ms Beach continuous
harassment of Mr. Rice EVEN after the Registrar sent letter of warning: "That neither party is allowed to contact Judicial
Member in person. Everything should go by the Policy of ADT" I am aware of at least five more emails exchange between Ms Solicitor
and Judicial Officer who’s principal role is to be unprejudiced Again I did the same and again from the same reason
I raised allegation to the President of ADT Judge O'Connor to make sure that I have evidence if my matter ever comes to be
thrown out from Court due to 'Out of Time' issue In the Supreme Court I raised this issue 100 of times, but none of the Judges
ever took this into consideration.
|
Not just that they ignore this, they had allow the DLA Phillips Fox
to do the same - keep my legal issue 2 years with the Registry staff. I was not even allowed to have Judge until very end.
In the end to make it proper on the Supreme Court website - the issue of 'out of time' was exactly the reason to dismiss my
case - something has to be published and they could not justify it any other way
Despite everything I did not wish to take anyone else to Court and I proceeded with my matter against
University to Federal Court just to be told that I SHOULD take DLA Phillips Fox instead. University Defendants behavior in
the Court (apart from breaching the law) was embarrassing - their arguments on the high school level - when I requested to
cross-question Mr. Crittenden - he would run away. When I lost the patience I send Mr. Crittenden email (2007 Feb 21) I thought
that those people would come to their senses. But Councilor kept going with his theory: 'If she feels discriminated she should
take us to Court - NOT University". I did not like sound of it. Why would legal firm protect University than willingly pay
their bill? It did not make sense. But their behavior during the legal proceedings was just that, nonsense. They kept ruining
their reputation right till the last Hearing. Despite knowing that must be some trap about all those advices I did not have
any other choice because- DLA Phillips Fox had ruin me financially- I lost custody of my daughter because of Ms Lynch and
her Team's unprofessional and violent behavior- As my daughter now lives with her father and is separate from me, her health
deteriorated and academically she is below passing grade. NSW and Iemma’s Government understanding what they did and
being afraid that I might take Iemma's Gov to Court - allow the Legal System to abuse me till the end. Premier of NSW MORRIS
IEMMA knew from the day 1 about discrimination and abuse I was subject to during the Court Proceedings. Mr. Iemma choose to
ignore this abuse and finally in 2007 He send me an email and in it: "I AM TOO BUSY TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOU"-and Judge
Spigelman, I assume, did not feel OK seeing me financially independent. Being a smart Judge he knows better than anyone how
much money in compensation I would receive if I take NSW to court, so I was instructed enthusiastically, to lodge statement
of claim against DLA Phillip Fox. As everything else failed and I was financially ruined - I lodged Statement of Claim VS
DLA Phillips Fox at the FC Sydney Registry
|
IN THE SAME TIME I PUBLISHED EVIDENCE THAT WOULD GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK COMPENSATION FROM
AASW BECAUSE I AM MEMBER OF AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL WORKERS FROM THE DAY I ENROLLED IN SOCIAL WORK DEGREE AND THAT’S
THE POLICY PUBLISHED ON WWW. SO THE LAW WAS ON MY SIDE.
TO PREVENT THIS TO HAPPEN NSW GOVERNMENT ACTED QUICKLY AND 'OVERNIGHT'
THE PEST POLICY BECOME OFFICIAL, ATT GENERAL MR. HATZISTERGOS WAS INSTRUCTED TO MAKE A COMMENT
(ON BEHALF AUTHORITIES WHO WROTE THIS) I HAVE SEEN THIS AS A WARNING AND THE REASON WHY I DIDN’T PROCEED WITH HEARING.
AT THIS POINT ANY TRUST LEFT TOWARDS NSW LEGAL SYSTEM WAS GONE. IF I DID PROCEED; I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE PUBLISHED,
HOW I WOULD BE LABEL THIS TIME AROUND, AND ABOVE ALL WHAT KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE I WOULD BE EXPOSED THIS TIME.’
PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY I COULDN’T PROCEED FURTHER, MY BODY WAS EXHAUSTED. AFTER THIS POLICY WAS PUBLISHED I
RECEIVED RESPONSE

- I refer to the Form 5 Application and Affidavit dated 26 October 2007 (“the documents”)
you presented to the Federal Court for filing
- The documents were submitted
to the Honorable Justice Cowdroy pursuant to Order 46 Rule 7A of the Federal Court Rules, to consider whether they should
be accepted for filing. Hon Judge Cowdroy directed that your Statement of Claim VS DLA Phillips Fox be refused on the basis
of: No reasonable cause of action is disclosed and Would be abuse of process of the Court
I didn’t have intention to proceed with Hearings but wanted response from the court, I wanted
written statement on the basis of what my case was rejected, Dear FC Registrar I had receive your letter dated 29 Oct 2007 Hon Judge
Cowdroy directed that you refuse my Statement of Claim VS DLA Phillips Fox on the basis of No reasonable cause of action is
disclosed and Would be abuse of process of the Court. I took legal advice from the Barrister who requested not to be named
and involved in this matter, he stated Firstly that my documents would not constitute
Abuse of Process due to circumstances I was faced with. Secondly there is a mountain of evidence
against DLA Phillips Fox to prove the same. Thirdly, decision of the Federal Court
Judge Hon Moore and his comments on the last page of his Judgment supports my decision to proceed VS FOX Fourthly, DLA Phillips
Fox advised me to take them to Court, so if this Company agrees with this process and I support their request, I’m unclear
on what basis Judge made his statement that this would be ‘Abuse of Process of the Court’ I understand that the
NSW Judges can hand in the Decision without explaining ‘how and why’ however I need to ask you to forward this
to Hon Judge Cowdroy, draw his attention to documents and allegation submitted to registry of the FC and ask his Honor to
explain his statement. I have evidence and can prove that my statement of claim is not an abuse of process of the Court. Thank
you. NO REPLY
This was the first legal body in the world that refuses to justify legal decision. My friends around
the world, UK, CA, FR, DE, etc, could not find any legal system that hold this 'attitude' towards victims of crime. You simply
have clever legal defendants that nobody can beat. Happy or not that is the beauty of law - but to have the state of NSW against
one victim of crime and the only way to won the case was crime and the breach of law was mind-blowing.

year AASW President Mr Loone directly made contact and advised me to continuee with AASW membership. Being a member gives
you a great protection as well as many benefits, but we know that. I took his advice and paid membership fees for 2008.
It must be some administrative mistake as for the whole year I didn’t receive any journal, booklet and the rest I was
entitled to. So if you investigate this error and found that complain was justify I believe that part of the fees could be
refund. However that’s up to all of you. I trust in your professional integrity. |

I have paid the membership fees for this year |

The bill is on my website for your convenience yet I didn’t receive any confirmation. Would you please let me
know is there any problem or everything goes efficiently as always. This is my 15th year as a member, my social work friends

Social Work encompasses a small but very active group of academics engaged in a wide range of teaching, research and community
service activities. |
|
Study in the area of Social Work began in 1991 and in subsequent years has developed as a model
of excellence in experience based teaching and learning. In this context field education is especially significant as it allows
students test and mould their professional and personal capacities as social workers in training |

Dear Jo Gaha, The documents
which I have enclosed, show clearly that I was traumatised as a result
of the interaction with Ms Flynn on September 1998.The trauma had an enormous affect on my performance at the Centrelink placement
'99. The effect of the trauma was not taken into consideration on my performance during my 2nd placement. I am determined
to finish this degree and that is why I asking you again to give me an opportunity to complete my second placement

Allison Rowlands has passed
on to me the material you sent to her and I am responding to your request to complete your second placement and enroll in
fourth year this year. The Bachelor of Social Work at Newcastle University is offered as a degree
with a proscribed sequence of subjects, which is approved by the AASW. This proscribed sequence
means that it is not possible for a student to proceed to theory and practice subjects until the prior field education subject
has been passed. In your case this means that you will not be able to proceed to the fourth year theory and practice subjects
until SWRK 303 has been passed. This subject is offered this year and you are eligible to enroll and
a placement will be allocated to you along with the other students enrolled in that subject |

sincerely, Jo Gaha Head of Department - Department of social work |

NOT just that those 4 women had destroy my family and everything else, NOT
just that AASW refuse to pay compensation I am entitled to BUT to allow those 4 criminals to return publicly to AASW
like nothing happened, after all the damage they did to AASW reputation worldwide not to mention years of abuse that we students
of social work were exposed when in Newcastle University... I am overwhelmed by emails from all over the world, with the questions;
Who allow this to happen? What kind of Government and the Prime Minister you have down-under, where your Government lead your
country, how possible that crime so enormous could be ignored and criminals rewarded? Above all what Australian Association
of Social Workers stands for? What kind of justice is that? What about their professional integrity? |

Subject:
ABUSE OF STUDENTS IN DEP OF SOCIAL WORK | |
|
Dear
Ms Cheong, I am writing in support of the letter from Ms Simundic which is enclosed. I support the statements she has made and the references to myself reflect accurately what has occurred and how I have felt. |
|
I am extremely distressed at what has happened to Vesna. What has occurred to her in her time at
University in the Social Work Department should never have been allowed to happen. It should never be allowed to happen to
any students at this or any other University. And yet I have felt powerless to assist her. I would urge you to take this issue extremely seriously and to bring it to the attention of the Vice Chancellor. |
|
NUSA has identified a huge problem with the conduct of the Social Work Department towards
many of its students. I have interviewed many students this year from the Department, more than any department, and all other Departments combined.
These cases are obviously
confidential but all identify a pattern of feeling abused and having no trust in the professionalism of the Department. They feel violated by the behaviour of
some staff members and once they have complained feel that they have been systematically vilified and abused by the Department. I know that many other
Academics identify that there are enormous issues with the Department,
and I have met with Professor Ramsland who also recognises my concerns. |
|
I have also met with the fourth year social work class to discuss posters I placed asking students who were feeling aggrieved to come and speak to myself or the Vice President at
NUSA. This, as you would know, is every students right. I feel that there must be a positive
resolution for all students so that they can enjoy and feel safe studying at thisUniversity. I hope that finally some attention will be paid to the issues raised and that they will not be ignored as they have been for so long. |
|
Yours Sincerely, Amie Grierson NUSA President |
|

Dear Vesna, Thankyou for your letter. I have read the attachment. |
| I have been lecturing in tertiary education for 31 years and during that time I have received three students' complaints of abuse. You will
be interested to know that all three
have been in the last 18 months and all three came from Newcastle University. | |
|
I don'[t think there is anything I can do to help given that it is another university. If you were here, given your migrant
NESB status, you would have access to a student counsellor for students with special
needs as well as access to a Deputy Vice Chancellor for Equal Opportunity. You could get legal advice but, if its possible, I would suggest that you enrol
with another university seeking credit for the subjects completed.. and preferably one with opportunities for distance education |

| Ms
Denise Scott |
| subject COMPENSATION | Following our brief phone-conversation, please find the following documents that will explain what has happen to me.
Through the documents I have enclosed, you will see that I have taken University to the Administrative Decision Tribunal (ADT)
for the Discrimination I was subject to I wish to address
the Disability, Defamatory Statement, Professional Negligence and Psychological Abuse through AASW, the organization I belong and was a member when abuse had happen |
|
1 You have asked me why I did not raise this allegation before,
as two years of the legal acceptance of allegation had pass by |
|
My answer is that I
did. I made an allegation to the highest authority I could possibly turn to help and that was the (than) President of AASW
Jo Gaha. As allegation was against Ms Lianne Flynn who was the Director of AASW at the time, instead of protection and appropriate
actions – Ms Gaha’s response was one of abuse, defamatory statements, emotional abuse, verbal assaults and intimidatory
behavior following by constant threats against me. When it was clear to her that I was not the victim who will go silently
she had label me as “clinically disturbed and dangerous student”. This
criminal act, affected the core of my family and in the end it destroyed us all. All of this was the reason why I had to remain
silent until the people I fear from are removed from the powerful positions they held at AASW |
|
2 You
had advise me to address in my allegation each point where I believe that the social worker/s involved in abuse had breach
the Code of Ethics. Unfortunately I can not do that |
|
I have read the ‘AASW
Code Of Ethics’ number of times and could not find the single Policy that Ms Flynn, Ms Baker and Ms Gaha did not
breach or abuse during my time as a student of social work within the Newcastle University. Their cruelty, brutality and
malice that was placed on me - is too hard to put into the words. It would take me forever to address every single issue |
|
Please find the documents
addressed to number of people I have ask for help during this difficult time, including an affidavit handed in to ADB and
ADT as a background material. Those documents will show you what I have gone through, how that affected me and finally where
I am with my life now |
|
As the individuals
against whom I raised an allegation still works and hold powerful positions (and powerful connection) I need to ask you the
following |
| 3 I request that none of the social workers from the Hunter Region should be allow
to be part of the Committee that will investigate this allegation due to luck of trust in members of the Hunter SW
Organization |
| 4 Any response to my allegation to AASW, I wish to receive only in the written form sent
by the post-office. I request that the letter / documents be sent under the “security mail”. Upon receiving the
documents I will confirm that I have received, so the clear communication between us is acknowledge and any misunderstanding
related to “the lost documents” would be avoid before it arises. I do not wish to receive any phone calls regardless
this matter from anybody in AASW |
| 5 My membership needs to be revenue in June ‘04. I ask that my membership fees
be reduced to the minimum due to the disability and unemployment |
| 6 I am seeking financial compensation |
| 7 Allegations are against the following social workers: |
|
Jo Gaha I
raise allegation against Ms Gaha for her failure to protect me from abuse, for labeling me as mentally ill and dangerous,
for making defamatory statements about me, for being the leader in charge of a plot against me in an effort to destroy me
and save the reputation of her department and AASW |
|
Deb Plath I raise allegation against Ms Plath for being ignorant towards the information I have disclose to her about Ms Flynn,
for not addressed my disability on a professional way. The irony was that in the same time Ms Plath was the Director of the
Disability Service at Newcastle University |
|
Alison Rowlands
I raise allegation against Ms Rowlands for her failure to act professionally, for using her extensive knowledge
of a social worker against me – the trauma victim and created the crisis situations she knew I would not be able to
overcome without her help |
|
Kate Baker
I raise allegation against Ms Baker for her cruelty towards me and towards the patients – she ‘used’
- making the placement under her supervision extremely difficult. I firmly believe that Ms Baker acted towards me in an unspeakable
manner just to protect Ms Flynn. She was hoping that I would ‘break down’ and disappear from social work. Her
cruelty affected my health enormously and affected my two children permanently. Of the entire struggle I have had in my years
of being student at Newcastle University, interaction with Ms Baker was the hardest one. I have no words to describe the way I was terrorize by
this woman - nor the words to express how concern I was witnessing how she used and treat her patients |
|
I was constantly “served”
with the wrong educational advices (on patients expenses), I was daily ridiculed on the basis of my knowledge of English Language.
I have left the placement highly suicidal. Of all social workers I have met – Kate Baker was the cruelest one |
|
Finally: I do not raise allegation against Ms
Lianne Flynn. My firm belief is that this woman needs professional help, for her
own benefit and benefit of all individuals (students and the clients) she might come in contact with. The feeling I hold towards
Ms Flynn is nothing else than the disappointment, the sad feeling of what she has became |
|
I ask you to take responsibility
for her mental health, to provide her with the professional help she urgently needs. I see Ms Flynn now clearly as a very
dangerous and sick individual. The hazard is that Ms Flynn refuses to see herself that way, she refuses to accept that she
needs professional assistance and above all that her quality of work is far below the standard acceptable for this profession.
I have a moral duty to inform AASW that I am concern about the students and the
patients who might come in contact with her |
|
I am concern for all
those clients who might put their vulnerable lives in her hands expecting professional help – something I firmly believe,
Ms Flynn is no longer capable to offer |
|
Finally, what will
happen with those individuals I have raised allegation against – is up to all of you, the social workers. If you can
trust them to continue practice and above all to continue to be members of AASW – that is up to all of you. I believe
that all of them should be suspended from AASW, and not allowed to practice as social workers ever again |
|
As a
member of AASW, former student and former social worker in training I need to request only one policy to be implement in my
case. I request that you act and make decision towards those individuals and towards me following the CODE OF ETHICS. I believe
I do not ask for too much, I
am awaiting your response / my membership was extended for another year however
I did not receive response |

for membership. I am member from 94 and every year I pay for another year to be member, what is the problem this year,
except that all of you now know about my website and personal injury? |
|
Peter Richardson
(peterr@aasw.asn.au)- Well, my decision is to terminate your membership. You have to provide from University of Newcastle
statement when did you leave social work and when you will return. When I receive that I will reinstall your membership. |
|
Why should be terminated, why don’t you wait until I obtain copy of the statement
you seek from me? |
| No
we cannot do that. It has to be this way. However, WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE MEMBER OF AASW? |
|
Why I want to be member? I am member from 1994 and every year my membership
is extended and nobody ever asked me why I want to be member? As long as I am paying fees and needed nothing from you I was
fine however now when you have access to my website and I disclose my disability to President of AASW - you ask me why? |
| Well I have to know the reason. |
| You do? |
| Yes |
|
Lets say it I am thinking to seek compensation from the Association I belong to? What do you think about this? |
| Well, I first need to talk to Sue Beach (few days after he
talked with Sue Beach the
PEST POLICY was published accross the Media) |
| Why would
you talk with Sue Beach, she is not a social worker
and is not a member of AASW? |
|
Well,
that’s what I will do. Please provide the statement I seek from you and I will extend your membership. I will not
go in any further discussion about this with you on this occasion, Bye. |
|
Few days later I was
told that my membership is permanently terminated |

your speech was very powerful If you lied about what you've said - than go ahead and live with that What goes around comes

people were genuine than there is a hope... I wish you all the best Vesna |

Thank you for your email regarding my speech at conference. I appreciate you
taking the time to drop me a line Voters are only just getting to know us, know what our ideas are and what we stand for. It
is going to be a difficult road to election and we very much need to keep working hard to present the country with a

U ASK? Ok Guys, thank you for giving me time to think about this.
I might be wrong but however I look at this abuse I could come with only one conclusion – this ABUSE has nothing to do with any of you. I was the target. So please try not to panic. Considering what has been done and who did it; former President of AASW Gaha,
Director of AASW Flynn and Ethical Director of AASW Baker, you can imagine how much money I am entitled to have in compensation.

However we know attitude of
NSW judicial body towards victims of crime. In their eyes we are not worth to receive what we are entitled to. So the pest policy and this abuse of student
with psychiatrist injury was warning. NSW Gov cant allow this case to proceed as publicly they stole from me University compensation.
AASW now expect the same service and they don’t care how it will be done. |

This was sent to Insurance Company but they keep ignoring me. |

| EFFECT OF ABUSE
CENTRELINK Job Capacity Assessment on 24/06/08 |
| |
|
I was abused by social worker Ms Liane
Flynn (former lecturer in the University of Newcastle in September 1998.I had placement in the Royal Newcastle Hospital and she was my field educator.
Ms Flynn lives in Newcastle, NSW, with her wife social worker Ms Kat Wood. Ms Flynn is Director of Department of Child Protection.
This criminal abused many students and her actions that left so many students traumatized were never properly investigated. |
|
This DOCUMENT was in my folder in the Registry and NSW Gov know about this. Phillips Fox and university were informed as well. I have sent the same to PM John
Howard, complaining about process of settlement that I found frightening, To
my knowledge PM Howard was not happy with what 'has been done' and he personally express his dissatisfaction to NSW Att General
Hon Bob Debus. My understanding was that Hon Mr. Debus didn’t accept PM Howard’s feedback and has resigned the
following week. (This is what has been told to me - I apologize if this is not correct) |
|
In the Mission employment, an agency that ‘works’ with
the Centrelink, I was given Lorna the most experienced caseworker; one highly professional woman, who apart from being
very skilled in what she is doing; was smart and (to my fortune) a really nice person. Before coming to our first meeting
I gave her my web address and asked her to ‘take a look’ what I have been through and how that affected my life
and ability to look for work. Although not being her job when we meet it was clear that this woman read every medical report,
all the documents related to my disability and was here to help I told her how important for me is to have one person; I am
victim of crime, ill-treated by female social worker, behind closed door, lecturer who abused her position and victimized
many students for years, rather than different caseworker every time I had to come, which she understood |
|
My doctor recommended a ‘break’ from all the stresses;
including looking for work, that I obviously cant do now. After long interview she agreed with him, she could not find job
for me; I was not fit to look for work. She made specific recommendation; based on her
opinion and my request that (due to my disability) I should have the same psychologist who I had last year, someone familiar
who I felt comfortable with because I don’t cope with the ‘new events’ people I don’t know and unpredictable
situations very well. All of that create stress that I should avoid so, she put that writing, and sent her recommendation to Centrelink |
|
|
CENRELINK DISABILITY OFFICER | On the
meeting with the Centrelink disability officer,
I requested the same- psychologist I knew just not the social worker or someone
I don’t know. The disability officer (who was familiar with my website and new about my situation)understood
my request and promised; she will make sure that there would be no changes I will have the same psychologist whose job was
to agree (or not) with my doctor and the mission employment officer and make recommendation related to employment The meeteng
was scheduled for 9AM and to my recollection I was there on time. |
|
| CENTRELINK
JOB ASSESSMENT |
| The woman who called my name was someone I have never met before, who introduced herself as a
mental health nurse |
| I asked her why this change had taken a place; I have disability and the only one request; no
stressful events, that she as a mental health nurse should understand |
| mhn
Well the psychologist you requested had a meeting yesterday, so she couldn't come |
| [What yesterday had with today?] Why she didn’t contact me, email me.. that’s something
she is supposed to do? |
| mhn
Well I don’t know |
| Why nobody from Centrelink didn’t contact me and told me about those changes? |
| mhn
I don’t know. |
| When we had enter the room she tried to close the door. I told her that the door will stay open;
I have disability, cant breath behind closed doors and if she was ready for this interview she should know
that |
| mhn
I just thought we would have more privacy |
| I politely told her that my decision is not to be private person and the door had to be open.
All of this I found very stressful and despite being a strong person I started to cry. I just didn’t have energy to
explain all over again about social work, who had injured me, what are the consequences I suddenly felt so tired. I told her
briefly that Lianne Flynn badly treated me when I was her student, which resulted in PTSD |
| mhn
So
you are on medication, what kind of medication? |
| All of that was in my folder in front of her, medical reports, the court affidavits and the address
of my website |
| mhn
What did you do in your country of origin? |
| I was executive secretary for one large firm. |
| mhn
How are you coping with all of this, what is the hardest to deal with? |
| The hardest is being separate from my family, from my children. My
older daughter went overseas because she could not cope with all what has happened to me and I did not see her from 05. My
younger daughter declined in health and academically and I feel responsible for all what’s happened to them. The hardest
part is grief and loss - I lost my family. |
| mhn
Maybe you will have a new a family |
| I didn’t feel comfortable talking with this woman who sow my
‘family’ as a worn out shoes that could be replaced by new one. I didn’t trust her; I just didn’t
wish to be there, so I told her that I do not want a new family. I want my family |
| mhn So your
court case is finalised? |
| I told her where my legal matter is now and that was my only comment
related to legal issue. |
| mhn
I will make recommendation regardless your employment |

from
Ch9 Current Affair FULL STORY HERE | |
|
I didn’t feel comfortable with what has happened. I asked Centrelink officer to explain
to me, why this woman took over my case? Why nobody notified me about changes and I requested that she check on computer about
my request for appointment. I felt let down. She confirmed that my request was on computer but she could not explain to me
how this mistake could happen. I asked her to contact psychologist I was suppose to have and seek
explanation from her in writing, to be sent to me. I also lodge request under the FoIA to have copy of today’s
assessment I sent complain to Att. Gen Hatzistergos who forward to Centrelink Minister. Few days later I
received a phone call. |
|
CENTRELINK COMPLAINING OFFICER |
It was a very interesting conversation and off course he was defending
Centrelink (Centrelink pays -not me) but the highlight of our conversation was when I explain that everything was on computer,
the reason why I need to have psychologist I know, why cant be any surprises and if there’s some change I should be
notify ASAP. He has evidence of what I am saying in front of him, couldn’t deny any of my
allegation related to what has happened. He was quiet for a while,... Than he said: What do
you think WHO DID THIS TO YOU? |
|
C E N T R E L I N K INJURY 08 |
CONSEQUENCES; EMOTIONAL ABUSE OF PERSON WITH PSYCHIATRIC INJURY MUST HAVE AN IMPACT ON AN ALREADY DAMAGED HEALTH. I WAS FIGHTING
NOT TO HAVE THIS ON MY RECORD FOR TWO YEARS, AS THE WORD DISABILITY GREATLY DISCRIMINATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND EVERY OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES BUT DIDN’THAVE THE CHOICE |
|
After the meeting with Centrelink regional Manager, when she saw what has been done and
her investigation related to incident that didn’t provide any logical explanation, even she couldn’t understand
what's happened. It was obvious to me that this was job for Police Investigation and that the emotional abuse I was subject
in NSW had SPREAD to 'FEDERAL LEVEL'. More and more government institutions are involved. I was
greatly distresses and went to see my GP. He felt that "He had to protect me" from external stresses that can only further
exacerbate injury imputed by Newcastle UNI. So I'm now on disability pension for another 2 years. I do not feel safe to go
anywhere; talk to anyone, I do not feel safe in my own hometown, In my own state and now in my own country |

Dear Vesna, I am writing in regards to the circumstances surrounding your Job Capacity
Assessment on 24/06/08. Unfortunately I was not made aware of the referral, and your request to see me, until the afternoon
prior to your appointment, after it had already been booked to another assessor (Bronwyn). I was scheduled to attend a Centrelink
Agreement Consultative Workshop on 24/06/08 from 9am - 1pm, Terefore was unable to conduct your appointment at the time it
was booked for. I alerted Bronwyn to the situation, and attempts were made to contact you
by phone on the afternoon of 23/06/08 and morning of 24/06/08 in order to offer you an opportunity to reschedule your appointment.
Unfortunately these attempts were unsuccessful. I apologise for any additional stress this situation has caused Yours sincerely

I was employed right where Liz works, doing the same job (as a social worker in training) So I
know what’s happen when request of this nature arrives, what she was suppose to do and how she was suppose to act. Its clear that she was instructed what to do and what to write Shame, even the new generation employed in 'helping profession' must learn to lie in an effort to
keep the job |
