 by Ganesh Sahathevan        Former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and his permier Gladys Berejiklian  It has been previously reported that  Sydney Local Health District CEO Teresa Anderson charged COVID quarantine detainees for services ordered by then NSW Commissioner Mick Fuller  even though there is nothing in the Health Services Act that authorises any person being invoiced for services that she or he did not personally request.  That problem however, seems to have been underpinned by an even larger issue for  community treatment orders, which can be enforced by NSW Police, appear to be authorised only for persons with mental health issues.     "Health services" provided travellers held in quarantine were not called community treatment orders but they might as well have been,for that is what they wee at least in form.  In addition to enforced medical procedures Police and Army detained and held under guard travellers held in quarantine.

NSW AG Michael Daley says religious leaders who give sermons about homosexuality being "a sin" are protected under proposed NSW gay conversion therapy laws- Daley does not trust religious leaders , so exemption may well be illusory

The Minns government said the bill would "save lives" and outlaw conversion practices such as religious "straight camps" or hypnotherapy sessions designed to change a person's sexual orientation or identity. Attorney-General Michael Daley said religious leaders who gave sermons about homosexuality being "a sin" were protected under the laws. However, Daley does not trust ministers of religion, so it is hard to see how he will ultimatley find a means of prosecuting religious leaders for    sermons about homosexuality. To begin with, Daley has not defined "sermon". To Be Read With  NSW AG Michael Daley "formed a really great affinity with the beauty of the working

NSW claims the Sunshine State still owes $105m to cover the costs of its residents undertaking hotel quarantine in Sydney at the start of the pandemic. However  Steven Miles , now Queensland premier, sensationally ripped up the bill in a 2021 social media stunt attacking then prime minister Scott Morrison. Now, in a letter to Mr Dick, his NSW counterpart Daniel Mookhey has written: “I refer you to previous correspondence from NSW Treasury to Queensland Treasury regarding hotel quarantine fees for Queensland residents during the Covid-19 pandemic. “The people of NSW are owed $105 million

While her conduct may seem to be a mere extension on Fuller's COVID quarantine gymnastics, Andersen is the person in whose name quarantine fee notices are issued. Andersen seems like the logical person with whom to commence a COVID quarantine fee recovery class action.  TO BE READ WITH  Former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller's COVID quarantine gymnastics may have left the newly minted PwC partner personally liable for the refund of COVID quarantine fees - Police Commissioners cannot have others pay their costs February 28, 2024  by Ganesh Sahathevan                                                    It has been previously revealed on this

 by Ganesh Sahathevan                                                    It has been previously revealed on this blog that former NSW  Police Commissioner Mick Fuller may have breached the law with his demand for quarantine fees (see story below).. However,  having taken responsibility for ordering overseas arrivals into quarantine, Fuller then seems to have taken it upon himself to have the  Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) provide health services to the persons held in quarantine. Readers will recall that Revenue NSW issued orders for payment (pretending to be invoices) on behalf of the SLHD  to persons who had been held in quarantine, for health services they never requested. It appears then that Fuller had requested SLHD provide the health services, but  then determined that his department and he would not foot the bill. It surely cannot be the case that the Police Commissioner's powers include having others pay his bills and therefore, not only would the quarantine fees ch
