NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey wants AUD 105 Million in COVID quarantine fees from Queensland for health services requested by former NSW Police Chief Mick Fuller, but never requested by anyone held in quarantine - Queensland can redirect Mookhey's invoice to NSW Police

    Mick Fuller ordered travellers into quarantine,and then had SLHD charge them for services he                 ordered


The Daily Telegraph reported on 11 February 2024: 

Treasurer Cameron Dick has rejected the latest claim from NSW for more than $100m in allegedly unpaid Covid-19 quarantine expenses.

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 by the Queensland government to cover services provided to more than 18,000 residents of Queensland who stayed in NSW hotels.”



However, as previously reported here, the services were never requesed by those held in quarantine but rather by the then Chief Of Police NSW, Mick Fuller. Queensland can direct that invoice to NSW Police.

SLHD CEO Teresa Anderson AM has ultimate responsibility for signing
off SLHD's financial statements


Sydney Local Health District CEO Teresa Anderson charged COVID quarantine detainees for services ordered by then NSW Commissioner Mick Fuller . 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.

Government funding for the College Of Law PLT where students are assessed on the quality of their reflection on their work experience , not the quality of their work experience

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  The above has been extracted from the latest College Of Law Ltd's annual report.  The substantial government funding is provided via the Commonwealth's FEE HELP facility.  The Practical Legal Training (PLT)  which the College runs, and which is a prerequisite for admission to practise  in NSW, has the imprimatur  of the Chief Justice NSW, Tom Bathurst, in his capacity as Chairman of the the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board.  College Academic Director Lewis Patrick has said that in assessing the work experience component of the PLT  "  the College is not assessing the quality of (the student's) work experience, but rather the quality of (the student's)  reflections  on that experience . The College's PLT course is now mostly on-line, and there are problems with delivery and infrastructure. Its FEE HELP cashflow is being utilised to finance its expansion overseas.

Sydney is not Soweto, its Asian migrants are not coloureds, or persons of colour - South African Australian Judge Angus Morkel Stewart's decision in Faruqi v Hanson an insult to anyone who is not white

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the recent Federal Court Australia decision in   Faruqi v Hanson   Mr Justice Angus Morkel Stewart (Stewart J)  found at [242]: I am comfortably satisfied that both groups of people in Australia that I have identified, being persons of colour who are migrants or of relatively recent migrant heritage and persons of colour who are Muslim, are reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended (ie profoundly and seriously), insulted, humiliated and intimidated by Senator (Pauline ) Hanson’s tweet. The case concerned   a tweet  that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson directed at  Deputy Greens leader Senator  Mehreen Faruqi. Mehreen is Pakistani Muslim who continues to advocate for Pakistan as a senator of the Senate, Parliament Of Australia.  Senator Hanson wrote in her tweet "piss off back to Pakistan" after Senator Faruqi commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. While Stewart J's has hand...

Ex NSW LPAB Executive Officer Louise Pritchard ,subject of queries from The Australian, hired by Sydney University since early 2019 -NSW LPAB has never explained her departure, UYSD the reasons for her appointment

Image
  by Ganesh Sahathevan  In January 2019 The Australian reported:  The body overseen by Chief Justice Tom Bathurst responsible for deciding who can practise law in NSW relied on a wildly defamatory Malaysian blog depicting ABC journalists, former British prime minister Tony Blair, financier George Soros and others as part of a global conspiracy when deciding to deny a would-be solicitor a certificate to practise. Chief Justice Bathurst and Legal Practitioner Admission Board executive officer Louise Pritchard declined to answer The Australian’s questions about how the article came into the board’s hands and why its members felt the conspiracy-laden material could be relied upon as part of a decision to deny Sydney man Ganesh Sahathevan admission as a lawyer. Nor would either say which of the 10 members of the LPAB, three of whom are serving NSW Supreme Court judges, was on the deciding panel. Ms Pritchard has left her role at the LPAB since The Australian began making inqui...
