      For the last few years I have been fighting a few cancers and open heart surgery. due to this my savings are all gone. I could not even buy SU 2025, so I was working with 2017. I got a very well paying job in the bush. I saw the CEO bullying everyone. I am very sure he has a mental condition. He would on occasion make some of his female employees cry and I saw the smirk on his face when he did so. The last time he did it at a meeting he made somebody cry. I told the 2IC and the CEO that they ruled by nothing but fear and called them bullies to there face, well that surely hit a nerve and I lost my job. Anyway I left that very remote town. with little savings and using my last money to keep a roof over my learning about employment law to take action against the CEO who is very 'Lawyered up' I spent my time with no income to get my satisfaction for myself and other employees. I was broke but found a Lawyer to fight a no win no fee contract. I must have spent about 400 hours over about 2 months I was quite depressed but I had a mission.
      when I was a youngster I was a specialist Firefighter/ Engineer for 8 years. We used a product Called AFFF or aqueous film forming foam every day, It had a chemical in it called PFAS (the forever chemical). We used this as a detergent in a squeezy bottle in the fire station kitchen and to wash our clothes as well. They found out about 10 years ago that the chemical (PFAS) has a very serious things to humans. It is a carcinogen and causes high blood pressure. In the past 7 years I have had 2 heart attacks one requiring open heart surgery one stroke and 3 cancers.

      I started to make a claim it has taken 18 months as they are dealing with public money
      Anyway here is the good news............After all that, today I got a phone call from my advocate saying that all my claims have been accepted and I will get a fortnightly payment all my doctors fees will be paid as will my Taxi fares and medicinal costs. This will include a lump some payment as well also tax free. My life has changed overnight. I can,t explained how I feel this evening. I feel like I have won the lotto after being not far from being homeless. Sorry if this is too off subject but I had to share some good newsπŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘
