Employment lawyer #3 - Part 5 - Unacceptable and unfair legal advice - 2020

On 19 May 2020, I received unacceptable advice from JFMLAW / Andreyev; Unacceptable “process” and “system” for requesting a generally protected workplace right; Unacceptable conflict of interest later discovered given Clayton Utz lawyers’ menacing offence and a former senior partner, currently the Vice President of the Fair Work Commission; Unacceptable costs quoted to save one’s job and life from severe power imbalance and “aggression”, ironically for requesting a psychosocially safe work environment. Workers should not be put through this at all. 

The system is outdated and severely flawed. 

I include two points in the letter of advice from JFMLAW / Andreyev: 

• The arguments that may be raised by [the University], and the volume and the type of evidence. 

What about my volume of evidence? I was their client and I’m a qualified information manager! Here’s why they didn’t care beyond my being a little side money for them with $0 ROI for me : Employment law firms don’t exist to serve workers. They exist for businesses. Workers should NEVER have to “lawyer up” just for reporting psychosocial safety hazards and requesting some agreed boundaries for the sake of their health and wellbeing! The power imbalance alone makes this sham corrupt, UNJUST AND UNFAIR. 

And what evidence? A violation of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) by obtaining unlawful access to my private text messages, to use one message out of context in attempt to slander me? Or the medical fraud in a seven page report from a non-existent consultation with Deepinder Miller, yet another offence? Or the “connections” implanted by “political friends”, in the Fair Work Commission, despite my volume of legitimate evidence? 

This is human rights abuse and corruption! 

• How aggressive or obstructive [the University] may be.

JFMLAW / Andreyev actually wrote this! What did they know that I didn’t, at this time? Obstruction of justice is against the law, for obvious reasons! 

I will reveal what I uncovered that would result in obstruction of justice, next week, with an actual case that exists, on record, in the Fair Work Commission. 

https://www.judcom.nsw.gov.au/publications/benchbks/sentencing/public_justice_offences.html

And aggressive? How is this fair or relevant to requesting a safe work environment? Ironically, isn’t this greater victimisation and abuse? YES IT IS. 

How do the university “leaders” justify behaviour that’s “aggressive” or “obstructive”, with the Mission, staff code of conduct, values in Truth and Love, identity and ministry, Catholic social justice teachings, ethics, respect, empathy, community engagement, mentally healthy workplaces, zero tolerance of discrimination, harassment and bullying, privacy respect, compliance to WHS regulations and then workers compensation regulations? 

Instead, aggression and obstruction and fraudulent statements did happen, in breaching multiple laws and regulations, including committing offences under regulations, to deny my right to recover at work, in a safe work environment, while Catholic Church Insurance agreed to withhold payments and benefits and commit the crime of fraud as per Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) Part 4AA! 

I’ve had enough “aggression” and systemic abuse! 

Why does SafeWork NSW do NOTHING? 

I want answers!

I had said to this solicitor, I want to return to my work, it’s non-negotiable and my workplace right. I have such trauma and distrust of lawyers now. I still have not read this letter (or others) fully. 

Both State and Federal Governments allow such sham dealing, a big cause of suicide via industrial manslaughter, that no one has courage to talk about, call out and stop, with ethical and real action.

Document 51 has the spreadsheet my accountant created, of income and superannuation calculations from 2021, that I sent the employment lawyer on 19 May 2020, writing, “this is what I’m worth”. It was like I predicted the crime of fraud as wage theft and theft of two decades of accrued leave entitlements would result. 

I now also created a folder labeled “Financial Damage”, and started compiling the records of financial harm caused by criminal offences, from leaders in a publicly funded university and its corrupt self-insurer, registered as a non-profit with the Australian Charities and Non-Profit Commission (along with the blessing of my local member for Kogarah, now also NSW Premier, Chris Minns). 

As for the regulators, they were one big failure and dodgy themselves, in stopping the fraud, the financial abuse as criminal adverse action.

Here is another shocker. JFMLAW/ Andreyev quoted $40,000 to take my non-existent matter (because it’s all defamation, via fraudulent medical reports and illegal access to my private communication), to the Fair Work Commission. It is malicious and vexatious retaliation, as adverse action. Like I said, luckily I dodged that bullet given what I uncovered. Sadly, others were not so lucky. It’s time for a redress to miscarriage of justice in the Fair Work Commission. 

So I was quoted the price of a new car and likely full blown destruction, just for requesting a few agreed boundaries for a safe work environment. 

Instead of a few agreed boundaries to work with dignity, as per Mission statement and staff code of conduct, and WHS regulations, I was expected, in this corrupt system, to hand over a shitload of money I worked honourably for, all for the benefit of the university community, to be further abused and attacked by their “friends” in the Fair Work Commission. 

Do the readers see the obvious problem and actual cruel human rights abuse issue against workers? 

It should be renamed the Unfair Work Commission. 

This is the truth about the sham deal we have in the Fair Work Commission. This is the deterrence to coerce employees to “accept” retaliatory abuse as adverse action for requesting generally protected workplace rights under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). This is the bullshit power abuse in our bullshit Fair Go society. 

If this is what happens when a supposedly top notch law firm does this to their client, we all know Legal Aid has no proper funding or will be of any use in employment rights. Besides, employees like me likely don’t qualify for Legal Aid. We’re the middle income earners who happen to work in an organisation who has resources to abuse their staff, and “connections” that result in systemic abuse of power. You are denied procedural fairness and natural justice no matter where you turn. 

The only place workers should have to turn to, in these incidents of WHS harm, is SafeWork NSW. At the moment, if you do, expect to be told by a SafeWork NSW inspector “I’m not here to play he said she said” and “well all they’ll do is show me their policies and I don’t want to ruffle feathers!” Oh, and the SafeWork NSW inspector felt “sorry” for me. I didn’t want their fucking pity, I wanted them to stop the relentless harassment, mobbing, stalking and abuse and keep me safe in my job! 

Right now, if you contact SafeWork NSW, don’t expect a trauma-informed response and an order to stop the reckless conduct with intent to cause harm. Expect further abuse from SafeWork NSW and compounded trauma.

It is human rights abuse. 

This is the reality of the Australian University sector. We are a knowledge based world now. When are “ethical” ministers in government going to finally wake up and realise the huge new type of safe work hazard destroying lives of workers and their families? Both Federal and State ministers and regulators talk a lot about managing psychosocial hazards and risks but do NOTHING TO ENFORCE REGULATIONS AND COMPLIANCE. 

So what is the cost in relation to the human factor, beyond the financial cost? 

To be continued in a post next week titled Unfair Work Commission - denying employees their generally protected rights. 

This post was based on documents 51-52. 

JFMLAW/ Andreyev appeared to be representing someone, but it definitely wasn’t me, their client. 

My personal story - Part 4 - War and Peace

“Peace is the virtue of civilisation. War is its crime.”

Victor Hugo.

Dedicated to Greek victims who were killed by Nazis during World War II - Kalavryta, Greece

On 13 December 1998, I remember visiting Kalavryta, the Municipality that includes the village my mum grew up in, Chovoli. 

Coincidentally, it happened that on this day, the community in Kalavryta commemorate one of the most tragic events in modern Greek history : the Holocaust of Kalavryta. 

I’ll quote this paragraph from https://www.greeka.com/peloponnese/kalavryta/sightseeing/kalavryta-holocaust/:

“…on Monday, December 13th, 1943, the Nazi troops ordered all residents to get to the schoolyard. They locked up women and children in the school and gathered all male residents, over the age of 12, at Kapi hill, outside the town. They set the school on fire and killed almost all 700 men; only 13 of them managed to survive. The women and the children locked up in the burning school could see their husbands, sons, fathers, and brothers being killed and the men from the hill could see their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters being burnt inside the school. Finally, the women managed to escape from the burning building. It is said that an Austrian soldier had pitied on them and helped them to get out.”

On the webpage link above, there are photos of the monument. There’s a lantern for every life that was taken. There is a message on the lawn: 

Ειρήνη - Peace.

Όχι πια πόλεμοι - No more wars. 

There is a sculpture carved in rock, the Greek word for rock is πέτρα - petra. 

The sculpture is called Mother Petrified.

Mother Petrified

When will humanity learn its lesson from the atrocities of the past? To quote the last sentence from the webpage cited: “It always remains in our memory as a great shame and stands for the misfortunes of war.”

Given the significance this part of Greece also played in the Greek Revolution of 1821, there is a monument included, dedicated to the fighters of 1821. Fighters of 1821 include my ancestors (see https://mystory-myvoice.blogspot.com/2025/03/my-personal-story-part-3-greek.html). 

One thing I have in common with my mum’s community in Chovoli (or Hovoli) is a love of research and storytelling. There’s a closed Facebook group for residents, expats and descendants of Chovoli ancestry from all over the world, that have joined as members of the group. It has replaced what was once the printed newsletter. There are those that write beautiful poetry, tell stories of childhood days in the village schoolyard from decades ago, photos, obituaries, videos posted of current feast day celebrations, and historical research articles. I translate and share part of such research. Credit to Diamando Kitsou who researched and wrote a short piece about the village, Chovoli, that connects us:

“Historical events related to the geographical area of ​​Hovoli are:

According to what Th. Rigopoulos cites in his "Memoirs", on March 21, 1821, in the straits of Agios Athanasios at the "Anargyros" location in Hovoli, two young men from Ariman rushed and killed two [Ottoman] Turks, as they were passing through there to go to Tripoli.

In September 1826, Ibrahim with his troops invaded the villages of the Kalavryta province. On September 18, 1826, they invaded Hovoli. The residents put up resistance and repelled them. G. Lechouritis with his gunmen occupied a position in Agios Athanasios to prevent them from invading Sopotos. In the following days they plundered Hovoli and set it on fire.

Hovoli was set on fire for the second time by the German occupiers on 27-7-1944.

When the Germans arrived in the village, they found it deserted, because someone had alerted the residents and they fled to the mountains, taking with them everything they could. Many hid things in the hole of Agia Kyriaki. By chance, not all the houses were burned.”

In December 2022, at my aunt Laura’s funeral in Sydney, my brother had prepared the obituary. One thing that struck me was in connection to this event in WWII, where my grandparents, carrying some of the children born to date, were literally “running for the hills”, to use the words my brother wrote. Aunt Laura was the third of eight children. My mother, being the seventh, had not yet been born. 

Our lives are a rich tapestry of events. We are linked to the past. We can choose to add rich threads to this tapestry in our lives today, through virtues that become part of a legacy, in the hope for a better society tomorrow. My hope is one of Peace. No more wars.

Blocking, mobbing and truth - 2020

Pilate asked him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, "I find no case against him”. John 18:38

Today is Holy Thursday. As I reflect on my faith, as difficult as all this injustice and persecution has been, I discovered that my faith grew stronger through this suffering. 

At times, in my own way, I too found myself praying, “Take this bitter cup from me, but Your Will, not mine.”

I was mobbed, slandered, betrayed and psychologically crucified. But my hope is in the Resurrection. Truth triumphs in the end. Death is trampled by Truth. 

What has happened to many people like me is human rights abuse. It’s institutional abuse. 

It may be a religious institution, but it is not the truth of the Christian faith. Confusing one with the other causes more hate, anger and discrimination. 

My faith is separate to calling out everything that’s against the teachings of Christ. It is why He was crucified. For speaking Truth. 

Here is a screenshot from Document 50 - it is an example of mobbing. This is a tactic to ostracise and “allow” offenders the “freedom” to develop a false narrative of slander, malicious rumours, vexatious lies and even falsified documents as immoral adverse action for requesting a safe work environment. 

The mobbing - The lies

Blocked access to my email and network - discovered on 17 May 2020

Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 (NSW)  pt. 3 s17.1- Must not block emails or access to the intranet and work email. 

I knew to immediately start documenting as soon as the Library Associate Director, incapable of doing the inherent duties of her executive job, dismissed and trivialised my serious WHS grievance and fobbed me off to HR, without consulting with me first. 

 

I yearn for human kindness. It has been years of abuse. I need the support network that I was denied, even under workers compensation regulations, by the cause of my claim and the WHS unit. 

The Truth

Samples from text and email messages, a letter, a card and a Parker pen as a gift. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which of the above reflects the Identity and Mission of this Catholic university? 

 

Which does not align to the Identity and Mission? 

——————

Today being Holy Thursday, I put to those leaders in a Catholic organisation inciting mobbing: is this not the same thing that a group of religious leaders did against Jesus, so the mob would yell “Crucify Him” to Pontius Pilate? 

How is this aligned to the Identity and Mission? 

How can you reflect on the death of Jesus, while you yourselves are condemning staff to death in institutional abuse? You too are burdening staff with a heavy cross, and forcing them to walk the road to Golgotha. 

How can you celebrate the Resurrection on Easter Sunday, with your families, only to go back to work several days later and continue to persecute and crucify those who are innocent? 

This is not the Identity and Mission as a Catholic university. This is also not demonstrating ethical and moral corporate governance and authentic leadership. 

Given the illegal blocking of access to my email and network was “discovered” on the 17 May 2020, before making a workers compensation claim because the employment lawyer said, “It’s not worth your health”, it’s obvious the WHS unit had no intention of cooperating to implement the injury management plan agreement and my right to a RTW plan and recovery at work, in a safe work environment. The national manager of employment relations and safety was authorised to make sure of that. 

After the distress inflicted by the cause of my claim’s defamatory letter on formal letterhead dated 13 May 2020, what do readers think the discovery of having access to my email illegally blocked, did to me? 

 

The distress was off the charts. I was extremely frightened like I’ve never been before (even after my family discovered my dad’s suicide note and the tragic events that unfolded). This was a feeling like no other (definitely not the university mission). It was surreal and CREEPY. No law enforcer or regulator I reported it to, stopped the abuse and protected me from further intentional harm. 

Cooperation to implement the injury management plan agreement is non-negotiable. I am not the one in the university community, who was ever misaligned with the Identity and Mission.

WHS harm achieved by intentional psychopathic letter from a WHS national manager - 2020

“She died, my lord, but whiles her slander lived”. 

William Shakespeare, Much Ado Nothing.

When I was in Year 11, my English teacher said to me that law was right up my alley as a career path, given my analytical skills. I told my dad, who shook his head and replied, “You’d make a terrible lawyer”. Hands on hips, I stubbornly said, “And why is that.” He said, “Because you can’t lie.” My dad was right. I couldn’t argue with his reply and thankfully I did not enrol in a law degree. 

There are good lawyers in the profession that are ethical and compassionate. They became lawyers for the right reasons. But being confronted with “learned friends” in a profession that attracts corporate psychopaths, those who abuse the law with “tactics” that are immoral and unethical, that are full of greed for power and money, how many good lawyers became disillusioned, how many chose to quit the profession? I’m relieved I didn’t study law. I couldn’t be confronted with so much narcissism and greed, greatly centralised in one profession, on a daily basis. When are lawyers going to be held accountable if they choose to abuse the law they were sworn in and entrusted to serve ethically and honestly? (See Psychopathy in the workplace). 

If I had known how severe the slander towards me would be, by this National manager of EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS AND SAFETY (ie. a lawyer) appointed by the university, I would never have sent the email with the attached letter on university letterhead, to my family to read. It was read late on Saturday 16 May 2020. I had switched off my phone to try and get some sleep. I learned of the contents on Sunday morning, 17 May 2020. 

This was not “speculation”, a term lawyers like to use. This wasn’t what happens in court, where a barrister puts a possible scenario to a witness, who in turn can reject or accept what is put to them, in a defence barrister’s attempt to demonstrate reasonable doubt to a jury. These were outright lies, slander, malicious and vexatious intent, false statements, and threats of further false and fraudulent statements on a publicly funded university’s formal letterhead. 

I woke up to this response from my family: 

“THIS THING IS FULL OF LIES. THEY HAVE MADE THINGS UP. CAN YOU CALL ME NOW BEFORE I EXPLODE IN ANGER…THEY ARE CRIMINALS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING. THE LAWYER NEEDS TO PROTECT YOU AND US IMMEDIATELY.”

I was extremely distressed and shaken. I was extremely frightened. 

Also, this is the individual who invaded the privacy of my family in an unrelated safe work matter of mine as diabolical adverse action. This is the National Manager of Employment Relations and SAFETY. Law after law after law breached in vicious attacks and reckless conduct by senior executive “leaders” within a publicly funded university, committed to “the dignity of the human person and common good” in its Mission and Identity.

I immediately sent a text message to my employment lawyer, my hands shaking as I tried to type. I didn’t care that it was a Sunday morning. Below is a screenshot of the text message. Obviously, I was still using the legal technical jargon incorrectly. I had no one communicating clearly, explaining the "process", even being confronted with the fact that, despite decades of these illegal "tactics" used by unethical and toxic organisational cultures, employment lawyers still don't get it.

And let's be honest. The laws exist. The regulators in WHS exist and keep boasting about ALL the work they do for "mentally healthy workplaces". They are a big FAILURE. No employee of any organisation should be forced to be subjected to this power imbalance and abuse, in a network of corrupt strategic alliances, by having to go to the Fair Work Commission, for something that is a legal obligation and duty of care of organisations. There are so many loopholes that still need to be closed.

Text messages to my employment lawyer post distressing and slanderous psychopathic letter from a national manager for SAFETY with reckless intent to cause harm - 17 May 2020

Sometime later, I emailed my employment lawyer with an attached document summarising the incidents of adverse action so far. I quote a good part of that summary: 

“The university is the only trigger causing me distress, health and safety issues that result in a state of being unfit to work. I have been doing the inherent duties of my role for nearly two decades. I know my job. I cannot do my work with the stressor that currently exists. I finally need their cooperation to make the reasonable adjustments I require to return to a safe work environment to perform at the high standard I always have.

…Seriously, what reasons do they have for all of this and why did they start emotionally abusing me as soon as I made the complaint? That’s what this is. I’m broken and feel emotionally assaulted because of HR, even more than the initial bully herself now. 

Here are their reasons for this action to identify the conflicting information they keep giving:

1. I apparently threatened self-harm to a number of staff. I told [the HR associate director] that’s a very dangerous allegation and it’s a lie. She responds that it’s not an allegation, so I asked her to list who these “number of staff” were because it’s news to me. No answer. (?)

2. Then they went even further with a serious privacy violation in the “dispute resolution” with a text I couldn’t remember, irrelevant to my workplace issue and an invasion to the immoral extreme. They exploited the fact I had no support network (and they made sure of that)... The text was taken out of context, irrelevant and such a violation, I felt unsafe to leave home… I want to resolve my case…

3. Now they’re saying something about my GP having provided conflicting information? He hasn’t provided ANY information…

4. And the final desperate attempt to slander me: a sickening letter to my employment lawyer… (I can’t look at this letter. However, it is in my evidence of multiple examples of adverse action. She succeeded in frightening me and I finally applied for worker’s compensation, mostly because of the national manager of employment relations and SAFETY [intentionally committing WHS violations]. The biggest fear for me was observing how low she would go – either to coerce staff to sign a false statement, probably via threats for their own job security, or just create a falsified document known only to the HR executive, unless they went even lower and forged signatures from my team too. Illegal and immoral actions from a “Catholic” university.)…

Also, as predicted, the IME practitioner was a liar. Does [the HR associate director] know I had a support person, a witness? There’d be video footage of us in the waiting area when we were kicked out at 10:10am when she terminated the appointment. My witness is there frantically noting what happened and I’m texting the OT demanding she ask HR why I have to be here and what’s the protocol. I was sent there under threat with no valid reason. Does [the HR associate director] want to read the 60 pages of online reviews from patients? Here’s the link: https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/3652882/Dr-Deepinder-Miller-Sydney-NSW.html. All the honest reviews from real patients align to my 10 minute experience too. And recall the first question HR wanted answered in the report - could I do the inherent duties of my role and take instructions and feedback from the bully I complained about.”

(NOTE: I wrote a post about D. Miller in January 2025, and yet consumers are STILL being exposed to this person committing risks to wellbeing, but more disturbingly, risks to health and safety, medical malpractice and outright fraud! There is another common negative review posted in March 2025. What is AHPRA and the HCCC waiting for? A death caused by this person’s reckless conduct and gross negligence? Refer to my posts:  A doctor who commits fraud; The waiting area; and Medical malpractice, unprofessional conduct and lack of duty of care). 

“Other things I find obvious in the adverse action taken against me for requesting workplace rights generally protected: 

1. I emailed [the HR associate director] (and all involved parties, including my GP on 21 October 2019), that I’d had enough of being victimised and … was preparing a written document of the “particulars” I told [the library associate director] in the first meeting in early August 2019. It was going to be sent to all relevant parties to be on the same page. She raced to get in her letter directing me to attend an IME, threatening disciplinary action, before I had sent my report. Her letter was dated 22 October 2019. Mine was sent 23 October 2019 and I didn’t yet know about her letter because the OT intervened and informed her to send it to my GP so I could have support. Why was she so adamant that I go to an IME, to throw her own question to me back in her direction?

2. As soon as I had the hostile attitude from [the library associate director] on the phone on 3 January 2020 and I said I’m getting my own legal advisor, [the HR associate director] immediately raced again to make another IME appointment with another “doctor” (I looked him up too – just as strange and disturbed as the previous one.)

3. [The HR associate director] ordered the [library associate director] not to approve my annual leave request for January 2020 when I said sick leave is used against me (my GP knows this), so I’ll take annual leave and let’s all take a break and start the new year with a fresh approach to resolving this – she directed me (in writing) to get another certificate from my GP and no other leave will be granted until I go to an IME. (NOTE: a workplace psychological hazards expert on LinkedIn described this “tactic” as psychological warfare / psychological violence - I reposted with my own lived experience - here’s the link https://shorturl.at/lCr4S). I asked for a meeting to get more information why I had to go to an IME. [The HR associate director] wrote there’ll be no meeting until I attend an IME. No matter how calm and sane you are, you will finally go insane. This is all adverse action for enforcing my right and communicating a grievance to ensure a healthy work environment.”

(NOTE: This is human rights abuse).

“1. What happens with all my personal leave they’ve wasted? Not to mention the taunting all this time. The psychological injury this has caused me from HR alone can’t be underestimated. I am afraid due to emotional abuse from them because of threats to dismiss me if I don’t go to some IME without a valid reason or any attempt to investigate my actual complaint.

2. Perhaps an application to the Fair Work Commission for taking serious adverse action against me because I enforced my right to a safe work environment, so my health would stop deteriorating from bullying, harassment and discrimination?"

 

(NOTE: I’m relieved I dodged that bullet of strategic alliances and undisclosed conflicts of interest currently in the Fair Work Commission. I will reference a case from UNSW that involved the same corporate psychopaths, using the same creepy illegal “tactics” of serious WHS violations as adverse action. It’s a serious miscarriage and obstruction of justice. It is in the public interest for employees to be informed of such abuse of power). 

"3. If I have to take annual or long service leave, it’s for rest and relaxation and to look after my wellbeing. Not to continue being harassed and taunted by them and paying for it with my honest hard-earned income and well-deserved leave. This wasn’t my doing and I have been fighting this battle to reason with those deliberately being unreasonable for nearly one year. They’ll need to compensate me in some way until this is resolved and I feel safe from any more bullying to return to work...

I’ll be fine if the external investigator and decision maker are truly impartial, and I’m treated fairly, with respect, dignity and kindness. I expect the same care and support to resolve this fairly as every human being deserves. To date I’ve been treated with hostility, rudeness, disrespect, insensitivity, violation of privacy and personal boundaries, and constant harassment of unfounded, false allegations with no evidence. What I’ve been put through is calculated psychological manipulation. It’s emotional abuse to make you reach breaking point. I never treated or will treat people like this and I won’t tolerate it anymore. I think that’s a fair and rightful expectation and boundary."

This post is based on documents 48 and 49. It displays adverse action for requesting generally protected workplace rights, discrimination, deception, malicious, vexatious and reckless conduct that condones engaging in WHS breaches and creating psychosocial hazards, not managing the risks as the PCBU is reasonably expected to do so, BY LAW.

Dangerous psychopathic letter 2020 - Part 1

“A really malicious letter should be read once only and destroyed, or best of all not read at all. These things lodge in the mind”. 

Iris Murdoch

As I wrote in the post, Malicious intentions from senior executives - 2019, anytime I post a part of my story that involves a malicious and vexatious letter, on company letterhead, sent by an organisation that violates privacy and WHS laws, I will repeat the above quote. Such letters of attempted intimidation, coercion and threats must not be read, for emotional safety and wellbeing.

On 13 May 2020, that malicious letter, a dangerous and defamatory formal letter, was from the corporate psychopath herself, who entered the scene on 9 March 2020, with all her illegal tactics ready to use. It was from the National manager of employment relations and SAFETY. Are you paying attention to the last word in her job title, readers? 

As I also wrote in the previous post, given all this evidence of indictable offences committed (those parts of my story, based on the documents, still to come), the law enforcement officers should finally do their jobs, and enforce the law on this perpetrator. This person should NOT be practicing the law! She repeatedly violates our laws in reprehensible ways.

To this day, I have not viewed the psychopathic letter, on letterhead, for my emotional safety. From 21 February 2019, I was diagnosed with hypertension and medicated for high blood pressure from all these unmanaged psychosocial hazards in the workplace. But I will share what other sources, who have read it, have told me. The primary source, the psychopathic formal letter, on university letterhead, is Document 47 in my records.

I will be including the cardiology report in my records. That's concrete evidence of the physical health risks of an organisation refusing to reasonably manage psychosocial hazards as per legal obligation and WHS regulations. I wore a 24 hour Blood Pressure monitor during a "normal" day at work. See my initial bullying, discrimination and harassment complaint posted on my blog, that the organisation "committed to the dignity of the human person", repeatedly refused to read, let alone take seriously and apply its "zero tolerance" policies and procedures (see point #27 https://mystory-myvoice.blogspot.com/2024/07/part-4-bullying-discrimination-and.html). It is a SHAM. Behind the scenes, the VC and senior executive group are engaging in institutional abuse on a national level. 

On 14 May 2020, I saw the email from my employment lawyer, with the attached response from that psycho at the university. I started shaking in fear, getting heart palpitations and I couldn't breathe. Such lack of duty of care from a publicly funded university, to employ this pscyho as a national manager of employment relations and SAFETY.

I share a screen shot of the text message I sent my employment lawyer. What does this tell the readers of my story on my blog? 

Text message to my employment lawyer - 14 May 2020

My lawyer called me soon after I sent this text message. She briefly described the contents of the letter, but left out the scary parts. Her summary was "padded" to protect me from more emotional trauma and the feeling of “danger”. I can't remember what she said, but I do have an email that I sent her replying to things she said on the phone. I remember I was angry and distressed. So much for taking care of my blood pressure and my attempt to manage the risk of a heart attack or a stroke. 

So much for the university senior executive group in its WHS legal obligations and duty of care, let alone respect and their "commitment to the dignity of the human person".

I also can't remember if it was at this point, or a few days later, that my employment lawyer advised, in a phone call, to make a worker compensation claim because, to quote her words, "It's not worth your health." 

Given what the Chris Minns government is doing to claims pertaining to psychological injuries, I think it is very important my local MP for Kogarah, Chris Minns, gets a mention here, at this time, in my story. 

I went to the Kogarah electorate office for help with a non-cooperative SIRA NSW and SafeWork NSW in my right to WHS AND my legal entitlements deliberately withheld to cause harm as adverse action, under workers compensation regulations. It is FRAUD. 

But Minnsy chose to take his Labor boys to visit the VC, exploiting his female constituent, and becoming a perpetrator in this institutional abuse. It is gender-based violence, it is coercive control, it is financial abuse against women. It is the workplace equivalent to domestic violence. And our NSW Premier did this to his Kogarah electorate constituent, exploiting her with his hidden agenda during the NSW election campaign to become NSW Premier.

CHRIS MINNS, IT WAS EMPLOYMENT LAWYER #3 THAT ADVISED ME TO MAKE A CLAIM BECAUSE IT WASN'T WORTH MY HEALTH. THE CAUSE OF MY CLAIM IS THE NATIONAL MANAGER OF EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS AND SAFETY. I TRIED TO AVOID A CLAIM AT ALL COSTS BUT THE PSYCHOS AT MY WORK MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE. 

I knew the workers compensation system's corrupt, because it is! The NSW public you are meant to serve as a public servant, are not stupid Chris Minns!

To quote from my email to the employment lawyer on 14 May 2020:

“I have made a time for a consultation with [my GP] tomorrow. They have no concrete argument to justify an IME and the excuse they use changes every time."

(NOTE: I still had NOT made a claim, so it was still a corrupt clause to use in bad faith in the Enterprise Agreement - a known tactic that the Fair Work Commission allow in Enterprise Agreements. Why? Because these corporate psychopaths HAVE STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, including from within the Fair Work Commission. They are a white collar joint criminal enterprise. 

I will share a case on public record of a serious miscarriage of justice in another university - same players, same tactics. These bullshit loopholes and undisclosed "conflicts of interest" must finally be called out and STOPPED once and for all.)

"When I send to you the document from my GP, and the meeting with an external investigator in your offices is organised, I'd be grateful to be briefed and informed how the process works. Those people have been deliberately withholding information from me and ignored my requests to be informed with valid reasons and protocol. That, in itself, is bullying.

I apologise so much for my nerves and distress. I've been burnt out and bullied since Jan 2017 with the new restructure, poorly implemented, leaving me exposed to this nightmare. I tried to communicate, reason, cooperate, but it became so unbearable I finally had to call it out.

I need peace restored, my dignity, wellbeing and safety too. And to finally focus on my health and laugh and smile again. But if my career and an entire life of hard, honest work is destroyed by these people, who have a legal obligation for ensuring my complaint is taken seriously and ensuring my safety in the workplace, how do I then recover and pick up the pieces to be able to trust people again, and feel safe and be productive again in society? I can't let them terminate me when there was no misconduct on my part, but reasonable and genuine attempts to resolve this issue fairly for all parties. If termination happens, I won't recover, and they can compensate me for the rest of my working life for the damage.

However, I don't want that to happen.”

(NOTE:  I include screen shot of the spreadsheet of income and superannuation package I had my accountant prepare for me around this time of the immoral adverse action. I sent the spreadsheet to the employment lawyer on 19 May 2020 - Document 51. It gives figures according to possible percentage increases per annum, as per Enterprise Agreement negotiations. It goes all the way to retirement. 

We are now in the year 2025. This is what the financial damage that the crime of employer fraud (those individuals who made the decision to commit fraud), has cost so far. And that’s just the income and superannuation. It is wage theft via the crime of fraud as adverse action. It affects all of us as stakeholders. It affects all taxpayers. Are readers beginning to see the pieces of the puzzle coming together? 

Are you now paying attention Fair Work Ombudsman, SafeWork NSW and NSW State Insurance Regulatory Authority?)

On 15 May 2020 at 8:36pm, I emailed my employment lawyer again, having thought about the communication transaction the day before. I still had no idea of the "process" and legal jargon:

This is some of what I wrote:

"I have supported and protected people, cared for and stood by staff in that place. Like hell I'm going to leave with an accusation that is a lie of being a safety risk to myself and others. The IME clause isn't being used from a good place... I don't understand why my GP can't provide a medical report (and within reason thanks, these people have invaded and violated my privacy more than enough) since I've been his patient from age seven. That in comparison to a practitioner who doesn't know me with questions that involve if I can work under the bully. Not unless they agree to some form of resolving the issue.

Like I said, I will not leave in such an undignified way after all the work I've done for others to reach their career goals. Here they are trying to destroy my career. I refuse this to be the thanks I get in the end.

That's my decision.

We'll talk on Monday.”

At this point in my story, I’m now only a couple of weeks away from making a workers compensation claim, as advised by employment lawyer #3, because, to quote verbatim, she told me, “It’s not worth your health.” Really? Because that is when the creepy psychological thriller and harm to the health, safety and wellbeing of an entire family, started. All the VIOLATIONS OF SAFETY were happening UNDER WORKERS COMPENSATION REGULATIONS, BY THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF MY CLAIM. 

• Do we still call that a “no-fault” claim, SafeWork NSW inspector, who should have stopped this when I reported it to the regulator in September 2020? 
• What about you, National Tertiary Education Union? We’ll get to what you did (and deliberately omitted to do), soon. At this point of my story, I’m on the cusp of becoming a member,  just before making a claim. Therefore, it was NOT A PRE-EXISTING ISSUE, NTEU. 

And it is still only the beginning. Psychopaths like this get vicious and aggressive, and will do anything to win at “all costs” (pun intended). The only thing they don’t do, is comply with the regulations and laws. 

FINANCIALLY IT AFFECTS THE PUBLIC PURSE. IT AFFECTS ALL OF US. 

As for the NSW Premier and his ill advised decisions, let's look at the background, only from my own story: 

• Chris Minns is my local member for Kogarah. Keep this in mind as my story progresses, and what he and his Treasurer are currently trying to do to the NSW workers compensation scheme. Perhaps he should have given 15 minutes to his constituent at the end of October 2021. As they say, time is money. He could have managed the NSW public purse ethically and effectively, had he given a fraction of his time to Kogarah electorate constituents regarding this very issue, as he does to corrupt employers and insurers. He is now trying to cover up his own incompetence. He is the one unfit to be in his job as NSW Premier.
  

• Chris Minns did and said anything during the NSW election campaign, because all he wanted were our votes, he wants our tax contribution, but he will waste that tax contribution and he will exploit his own Kogarah electorate constituents for his own political gain. 
  

• Chris Minns cost me a lot financially, before he even became NSW Premier on 25 March 2023 (Greek Independence Day, God help us - see my post at https://mystory-myvoice.blogspot.com/2025/03/my-personal-story-part-3-greek.html). The trauma I have is massive, but what he did pissed me off. I get stubborn in my fight for truth and social justice, when I’m pissed off. 
  

• Chris Minns exploited, betrayed, burned and attempted to abuse with gaslighting and coercion, the wrong Kogarah electorate constituent. I seriously have had enough abuse from narcissists in my life. He is victim blaming, when he is the only one to blame for the costs blowing out. What he did to me is financial abuse. It is gender-based violence to render a woman who was in control of her life and finances, extremely vulnerable, frightened, alone, systemically abused and helpless for years. He embroiled me in his own dirty politics as "customer service" at the office of my local electorate of Kogarah. Do we really want this man to be the leader of NSW?

It displays adverse action for requesting generally protected workplace rights, discrimination, deception, malicious, vexatious and reckless conduct that condones engaging in WHS breaches and creating psychosocial hazards, not managing the risks as the PCBU is reasonably expected to do so, BY LAW.
