DR. DEATH JAYANT PATEL FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER! TONI HOFFMAN HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH. JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE.

Rob Messenger looks on as Toni Hoffman speaks of her emotions after hearing Patel was found guilty.


Toni Hoffman hold your head up high and know that you have survived and flourished - no matter what has been thrown at you over the last 7 years. You are an inspiration to all who have traveled the Public Interest Whistleblower road and been treated atrociously by Queensland Health.

SING congratulates you on this historic GUILTY verdict and is in awe of the fortitude, honesty, dignity and integrity that you have shown to all who have had the pleasure of knowing you.

This writer is proud to have known you and supported you. ONWARD AND UPWARD.
Karen Maree Smith.

Heads roll over Queensland Health payroll fiasco. Surely this bureaucrat is not the same Michael Kalimnios who sacks Public Interest Whistleblowers

Premier Anna Bligh and Minister Lucas,

SING supporters would like to know:

Is this sacked Deputy Director-General of Queensland Health's Corporate Services the same bureaucrat responsible for sacking those Public Interest Whistleblowers who have spoken out and reported abuse, neglect and assault in Queensland Health's aged care facilities?

Is this sacked Deputy Director-General the same bureaucrat - along with two others - reported to the Queensland Police Service for acts of REPRISAL against a Public Interest Whistleblower.

What is this sacked Deputy Director-General going to have written on his Queensland Health Termination of Employment Certificate? Perhaps MISCONDUCT? Perhaps INCOMPETENT? Perhaps UNSATISFACTORY WORK PERFORMANCE?

Will he receive 2 weeks notice or will he receive nothing - just like he has ordered for Public Interest Whistleblowers he has sacked?

Will he now have to join the ranks of the unemployed and do the CENTRELINK SHUFFLE - just like he has forced other Public Interest Whistleblowers to do after he has sacked them?

SING suggests that none of the above will eventuate for Michael Kalimnios.

ROB MESSENGER, INDEPENDENT MEMBER FOR BURNETT - SPEAKS OUT FOR PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS.

Click on documents to view.
SING SUGGESTS THAT ROB MESSENGER, INDEPENDENT MEMBER FOR BURNETT, IS ONE OF VERY FEW POLITICIANS SPEAKING OUT ON BEHALF ON PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS WHEN THEY DISCLOSE WRONGDOING TO RECOMMENDED AUTHORITIES.

SING SUGGESTS THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED WITH HOW STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS MISTREATMENT/INTIMIDATE/BULLY AND VILIFY ITS PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS.

SING SUGGESTS THAT THE CURRENT 'WHISTLEBLOWERS PROTECTION ACT' IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER ON WHICH IT IS WRITTEN. IT IS JUST A RUSE TO APPEASE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND MISLEAD THEM TO BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS ARE PROTECTED.

SING HAS IN ITS POSSESSION A LONG LIST OF QUEENSLAND HEALTH PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS WHO HAVE BEEN:
SUSPENDED ON FULL PAY
OR HAD THEIR EMPLOYMENT TERMINATED
OR RESIGNED, DUE TO DURESS
OR HAD THEIR NEW EMPLOYMENT SABOTAGED
OR HAD DEED OF SETTLEMENT CLAIMS NOT HONOURED BY QUEENSLAND HEALTH

THEIR CRIME:
THEY FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATIONS, UNDER VARIOUS ACTS AND REPORTED ABUSE/NEGLECT/ ASSAULT AND WRONGDOING.

THEIR FATE:
NO LONGER WORKING IN JOBS THAT THEY LOVED.

WHAT HAS CHANGED IN AGED CARE SINCE THIS 7.30 REPORT SEGMENT WENT TO AIR IN 2006 - OVER FOUR YEARS AGO?

PRIME MINISTER RUDD, MINISTER ROXON, MINISTER ELLIOT, PREMIER ANNA BLIGH AND MINISTER PAUL LUCAS: WHAT HAS CHANGED IN AGED CARE?

SING SUGGESTS THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN AGED CARE:

PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS ARE STILL BEING TARGETED, VILIFIED, BULLIED, INTIMIDATED AND SACKED WHEN THEY DISCLOSE WRONGDOING IN AGED CARE FACILITIES. PROTECTION OF PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS IS A JOKE AND NOT WORTH THE PAPER ON WHICH IT IS WRITTEN.

GORDON NUTTALL (FORMER MINISTER FOR HEALTH, QUEENSLAND HEALTH) FOUND EVIDENCE PRESENTED TO HIM TO BE UNSUPPORTED AND UNSUBSTANTIATED IN MANY EVENTIDE NURSING HOME, SANDGATE AGED CARE ABUSE/ASSAULT CASES. HE IS NOW SERVING A SENTENCE IN PRISON FOR CORRUPTION.

SING IS UNAWARE OF THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE PREVIOUS FEDERAL MINISTER, SANTO SANTORO, MENTIONED IN THIS REPORT.

THE REGISTERED NURSE MENTIONED IN THIS 7.30 REPORT SEGMENT WAS DISMISSED, MANY MONTHS LATER BY QUEENSLAND HEALTH ON MENTAL HEALTH GROUNDS. THE PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWER WAS TARGETED BY QUEENSLAND HEALTH EVEN AFTER THE REGISTERED NURSE WAS FOUND TO BE MENTALLY ILL. SEE (1n) ON RIGHT OF WEBSITE. A RELATIVE OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS INFORMED QUEENSLAND HEALTH'S DISTRICT MANAGER IN SEPTEMBER 2004 THAT HER MOTHER WAS BEING ABUSED BY STAFF. THE ADVANCED ASSISTANT IN NURSING IN THIS CASE WAS "GRACEFULLY RETIRED" BY QUEENSLAND HEALTH, MANY MONTHS LATER. PLEASE SEE POST THURSDAY 11 MARCH 2010.

ABUSE, ASSAULT AND NEGLECT OF ELDERLY RESIDENTS WAS REPORTED BY THE PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWER AND INFORMANTS TO EVENTIDE MANAGEMENT, QUEENSLAND HEALTH, THE AGED CARE COMPLAINTS INVESTIGATION SCHEME, THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND AGEING, THE CRIME AND MISCONDUCT COMMISSSION AND WAS EITHER IGNORED OR COVERED-UP.

ABUSERS STILL REMAIN EMPLOYED AT EVENTIDE NURSING HOME, BRIGHTON (SANDGATE), BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND. WITNESSES TO ABUSE/ASSAULT REMAIN EMPLOYED AT EVENTIDE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN INTERVIEWED.
WITNESSES TO ABUSE/ASSAULT REMAIN EMPLOYED AT EVENTIDE AND HAVE NEVER SPOKEN OUT.
THOSE WHO SPEAK OUT AND FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION UNDER THE AGED CARE ACT, HAVE BECOME THE VICTIMS OF BUREAUCRATS GONE MAD.

SING SUGGESTS THAT THE REAL REASON PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWERS OR INFORMANTS ARE TREATED SO BADLY IS THAT IT IS MUCH MORE EXPEDIENT - FOR THOSE IN POWER TO "SHOOT THE MESSENGER" - THAN IT IS TO DEAL WITH THE DIFFICULT ISSUES.

SING HAS BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION FROM ABC'S 7.30 REPORT TO POST THIS SEGMENT FROM THE 15 MARCH 2006. REPORTER: MATT PEACOCK.
This letter was written soon after the 7.30 Report segment went to air.
The Public Interest Whistleblower had her employment terminated by Queensland Health on the 25 February 2009 after bringing other serious sexual abuse matters to the attention of the general public.

Please see: Reports and comments by The Daily Telegraph on right of website.

SING ASKS THE GENERAL PUBLIC:

IF THIS TYPE OF IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE CAN BE GATHERED BY A NEWSPAPER REPORTER WORKING UNDERCOVER; WHY ARE THERE NO UNDERCOVER NURSING STAFF EMPLOYED TO EXPOSE THE INCREASING ABUSE AND ASSAULT OF OUR ELDERLY AND DISABLED CITIZENS RESIDING IN NURSING HOMES?

SING SUGGESTS THAT PERHAPS OUR AGED CARE AUTHORITIES WOULD NOT LIKE THE DAMNING EVIDENCE THAT WOULD BE EXPOSED IF THIS SIMPLE ACTION WAS IMPLEMENTED.

SING SUGGESTS THIS MESSAGE IS LOUD AND CLEAR TO WHISTLEBLOWERS OR INFORMANTS CONTEMPLATING SPEAKING OUT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST: DO SO AT YOUR PERIL.

SING SUGGESTS THAT UNTIL THIS CULTURE OF FEAR FOR THOSE EXPOSING WRONGDOING IS ERADICATED FROM THE AGED CARE REPORTING SYSTEM. ABUSE/ASSAULT AND NEGLECT WILL CONTINUE TO FLOURISH IN OUR PUBLIC OR PRIVATE NURSING HOMES.
