Orkopoulos as her employer failed her, the legislative assembly - her de-facto employer failed her, her union and Party failed her. If MP employment has no safety nets where’s K Rudd and Gillard on this one? Looking in their own backyard I hope.

Just wondering why voting is still compulsory in this country. Does it mean that we are coerced to elect pedophiles, idiots, crooks and basically criminals to run our states? What is the difference between NSW government and any corrupted government in a third world country? Can we impose a democratic rules and principles on our leaders? How does our democracy work? Can we trust the fiscal policy of our governments.? How can a Labor guy approve of totally unfair dismissal of a woman? ( or anybody else for that matter)

The Parliamentary Committee into the Protection of Whistleblowers is made up of 6 ALP MP’s & Fred Nile =7, as well as 3 Libs & 1 Nat =4. Somehow I don’t expect the ALP will want the 1000 questions I have for them made public as it will expose them of protecting Orkopoulos at every level. I told Parliament that I was involved in a Police investigation into my boss, Milton Orkopoulos. Russell Grove rang Milton the same day. Vicki Calder & Vicki Mathieu told Milton that I was copying information for the police. Milton told Parliament. Parliament then changed the locks to keep me out. Grove said himself in the Telegraph that he told Orkopoulos to have nothing to do with me. I have proof that Milton told Parliament that he wanted me pensioned off. Vicki Calder has been rewarded with my job. Vicki Mathieu the casual staffer who told me with glee that I was not allowed back into my office, now has a full time job working for the new Member for Swansea Robert Coombes. Coombs did not want to know me. I have been told by a trusted source that Coombs wife (who lived in Sydney), was looking for a new hairdresser in Swansea three weeks before Orkopoulos was arrested. Therefore Coombs knew in October 2006 that he would be the endorsed candidate!

Couldn’t sack GS till her evidence re criminal charge interference in legal proceedings? Also Jodie Mckay Sept 2006 preselection fix to sideline Gaudry MP well before the Orkopolous presser by Iemma is quite suggestive of a knowing quarantine strategy??

I seem to recall that Nick Greiner when he was Premier, passed a whistleblower protection bill.. What happened to that law? It hasn’t been repealed has it? Why doesn’t someone dig it out of the archives?

The risks NSW citizens have to go to in exposing corruption reveals, a lazy media, an inept corruption watchdog, and (up till now) an invisible opposition. So THANKS Adrian Piccoli, Barry O’Farrell , Bill Heffernan and mostly Gillian Sneddon.

I agree 100% with Alex. We need a full enquiry into this whole episode - it would appear that the majority of NSW’s MPs don’t have Ms. Sneddon’s honesty & caring. Thank you Gillian on behalf of Orkopoulos’ victims and the other innocents who’ve escaped .
