Employment lawyer #3 - Part 6 - Re-opening my case to stop the harm

On 19 October 2020, I re-opened my case with the last employment lawyer I used before becoming a union member, given the suspected collusion by staff within the National Tertiary Education Union. 

The NTEU allowed a member to be a victim of the crime of workers compensation fraud as wage theft. The NTEU also allowed the continuation of harassment by the main cause of my claim, the national manager of employment relations and SAFETY, repeatedly ignoring my pleas for help. The NTEU did NOTHING to even report this to SafeWork NSW and SIRA NSW. 

But this time, I don’t believe the employment lawyer acted ethically to serve the best interests of mine, their client. They didn’t give me the time to brief them. The advice was negligent and contributed to the financial damage, family conflict, and more injuries. 

I don’t think it is fair, in a confusing system and “processes”, to have unrealistic expectations from a fellow human being, who is an upstanding employee, but is being isolated and targeted in what is nothing less than psychological terrorism!

But the truth is, the resource and power imbalance, along with “connections” of undisclosed conflicts of interest or willing collusion across jurisdictions and system “processes” is too big for asserting one’s human and employment rights. Employees, workers in our once “fair go” democratic Australian society, will not be afforded procedural fairness and natural justice. It’s become an all too common story. 

Hence why I need to share my story, based on my volume of evidence, that even regulators like the NSW State Insurance Regulatory Authority had deliberately refused to review, investigate and enforce compliance on ALL KEY STAKEHOLDERS. The SIRA NSW Enforcement and Prosecutions unit returned my records registered post (the way I sent them), in 2021, with no investigation having ever been done. All I received was dodginess and deceit. Lies, lies and more lies. 

As public stakeholders contributing to the public purse, we must be informed WHY. 

I don’t know how others feel, but I WAS NOT SLAVE LABOUR. I’m directing this comment to the MINNS GOVERNMENT. 

I expect that there will be accountability and justice. I expect my concerns to be addressed as to why all this happened. It’s been a financial expense due to legal fees for zero ROI and being a victim of outright FRAUD, needing to use a large sum of my superannuation to save my home (money I must put back for my retirement).

My health and wellbeing have been compromised, as well as my right to feel safe, mostly under workers compensation regulations. There was no compliance from Catholic Church Insurance to abide by SIRA NSW guidelines and workers compensation regulations, including making a timely decision. Instead Catholic Church Insurance refused to communicate and cooperate and withheld legally owed benefits. 

I have a right to a voice in my own recovery. Denying my human and employee rights, including my own voice, is immense indignity of the human person, a violation of the PCBU’s own Mission and social justice principles.
