Violence orders after school feud (CT article)

This was brought up several weeks ago here and is carried on by today’s CT article here.

My favourite comment from the article has to be this:

“If all parties were willing to resolve this, it would have been resolved.

“It’s disappointing that people aren’t willing to be part of a resolution process.”

The principal, Mr. Butlin, is quoted as saying “it was difficult for the school to intervene because there were no clear victims in the feud.”

If that is the case, then why is it now being reported in the media? Could it be that the Dept’s “mediation” was a failure?

Kiwi, that’s ok. Just don’t sign a “confidentiality” agreement.

You never know, they might ask you to. Besides, I think you were justified in your actions as you were trying to protect your child.

Good luck.

Nyssa i would like to keep everyone informed but after a reporter was put on to it from me speaking on Riotact i can’t say anything else.
Nothing in the report was right and i have met with the department and expect an immediate public apology.

Ah yes! The Domestic Violence and Personal Protection Orders Act aka the Shut-Up Act. I know it well. What a handy little instrument for denying the citizenry their right to free speech. That’s why I can’t speak about my situation openly, nyssa76. I’ll end up in BRC if i do.

Kind of weird given I’m a 44 year old female with a long history of success in the tertiarty education system and no history of any of the things I’ve been accused of. And why do I know fewer than half the people on the list of 26 names I’m not supposed to approach. How do I avoid appproaching people I don’t even know? Geez, you wouldn’t be trying to trap me would you? Andrew? Katy? Come on, you tell me and we’ll both know.

You could also explain to me while you’re there why the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Community Services at the Canberra Institute of Technology knowingly lied to my face on 25 October 2005? You said CIT were looking into my complaint about this, Katy. Well, guess what? My FOI files show I’m not making it up. She did indeed lie to my face.

So I’d like to know what you intend to do about it and the assassination campaign that CIT conducted against my character.

I look forward to hearing from you, Andrew.
