Can this company truly be so abysmally stupid, uncomprehending of the legal processes, and unaware of the public furor over their ghastly chemical products?

Dr Peter Dodwell Exits HealthQuest, the N.S.W. Government Medical Office

Dr Peter DodwellDrPeter Dodwell, New Zealand-born doctor, aviation medicine specialist and alleged 'public health' specialist, departed from HealthQuest two weeks ago.

HealthQuest is the notorious N.S.W. Government Medical Office, now a 'statutory body', which has been known to have seriously breached the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and has been reported to Amnesty International in London on a number of occasions.

Under the previous Directors, Dr Helen Jagger and Dr Helia Gapper, in particular, HealthQuest was well known to have been involved in Soviet-style psychiatry, whereby N.S.W. public servants who were dissenters or whistleblowers were 'certified insane'. Once HealthQuest had provided a 'certificate of insanity' (known by some as a fake retirement certificate), government departments were able to dismiss the whistleblower and there was no proper avenue ofappeal.


Hospital Food: Sickening. Unless you can go private.

I want to add my voice re. public hospital food. It is absolutely
sickening. Barely warm. Overcooked mush. Not enough of it even if it
was edible. I am old enough to remember when hospitals employed chefs.
Yes, public hospitals. When you smelt that food coming you felt
good to be alive. You knew it would help you get strong. You knew it
was going to be bloody good tucker.

As soon as the government contracts things out to the cheapest company to quote, you get crap service.

Yet another Healthquest abomination

I was working with disabled clients in a large residential centre run by Dept Community Services (DoCS) as a registered nurse in the 1990's.
My job was to provide safe and appropriate nursing care and to be an
advocate on their behalf and protect them from physical, emotional, and
mental abuse.

Fuck off with your 'fat file', N.S.W. Health!

New figures have been released and have been published in the major
tabloids at the request of N.S.W. Health identifying the state's most
overweight suburbs.

N.S.W. Health alleges there are areas where over half the population over 16 years are fat.

Just
who is dumb enough to submit to N.S.W. Health invading their personal
zone and measuring and weighing them? If you see N.S.W. Health coming
with a tape measure and scales, make a run for it! This is a huge
invasion of people's privacy. Who the hell do they think they are?


HealthQuest 'Retires' Oak Flats Principal Dr Wagener

Dr Grahame WagenerDr Grahame Wagener was the principal of Oak Flats High School. The
Department of Education stood him down on 10th December 2004 and he was
the subject of a five month departmental investigation. Wouldn't it be
great if they held an investigation into their own lying senior
officers. At one stage the Department announced Dr Wagener would be
charged with a breach of discipline but refused to release further
details. Dr Wagener has declined to speak to the media. However Oak
Flats High School P&C President Tony Purdon has said parents have
supported Dr Wagener.
