The notorious N.S.W. Teachers Federation has been known to collaborate with the state government in sending dissenting, whistleblowing or allegedly 'difficult' public servants to HealthQuest, the N.S.W. government medical office, to be dealt with by doctors rather than any kind of legal process. Because of their strong links to the Labor Party, far from being on the side of the worker, they are in league with the employer.

mental abuse.
