Rent boy.And what do you actually do for work BM? No lies for once.
He's just unskilled at the sex part.

your sister can still sue.
And what do you actually do for work BM? No lies for once.
My sister was on work cover. She was a prison guard and was attacked by a prisoner while clearing a cell one day. Stuffed her back pretty badly. She now gets pins and needles down one side all the time and suffers significant pain after extended stints of doing anything. Even sitting for a long period of time screws her up. Work cover helped her to land a job in the call centre for 000 and the police assistance line. She would work 4 hour shifts which are about as long as she can handle and then work cover would bump up her pay as though she was working 8 hour shifts.
She mentioned the other week that the new Liberal Government have put a stop to this now and she has been made to either take a pay cut or go up to full shifts. Something about a change of work cover policy.
Pretty unfair if you ask me as she wants to work but just can't handle a full day because of an injury obtained in the line of her daily duties.
She could have just refused to work and sued for compensation but she took the fairer route. Now it's come back to bite her on the arse.
I'm guessing what Dani is going through has something to do with this policy change as well?
From what I can understand of the jargon. Because I work instead of sitting on my arse at home they see me as fit (or unfit) for help one year from when I last took time off. Therefore, if I keep taking a bit of work off here and there I should be ok. It is to do with a legislation change and is not judged on a case by case basis.
I am seeking legal advice. A payout is never something I wanted. But my work has demoted me and shipped me to a store thats costing me $150 ( $100 in tolls and am extra tank of petrol) EXTRA in a fortnight pay cycle to get to work.
I don't want extra money. I want enough for my surgery, hospital bills and rehab ect, and 2 years worth of wages, which is how long my recovery will rougly take. I'm so sick of pain.
And I think what a lot of the people dealing with me on a day to day basis don't realise is, it's not just the pain. What are the meds doing to my kidneys...not to mention my stomach/bowels (sorry)? The lack of mobility has put my diabetes up and down and I have stacked on weight, and lets not forget mentally where I am. I've lost all my friends, my life. I can't move back out of home because I can't tie my own shoelaces.
I wanted to study midwifery. Spinal specialist told me not to waste my money.
You don't even wanna know what I was told falling pregnant and carrying a baby would be like for me and what kind of damage natural birth could do.
Even after surgery I will never be pain free. But at least I may have some sort of quality of life back. But hey, at least I'm not in a wheelchair hey...
I hope your sister fights it too.
Sorry for the rant and for the wall of text. I needed to get that off my chest.
Don't be sorry, Dani.
I can roughly relate to what you're going through - my girlfriend hurt her back, too, and the hoops she's being made to jump through to MAYBE get things sorted one day is a joke.
I hate lawyers - they are scum IMO. Greedy, narcissistic scum. But they are a necessary evil, and I am confident they can help you out.
Stay strong (>")>
Sounds to me like someone above her is making excuses for her work being merkins. There has been no such policy change that I'm aware of as a Workcover trained manager and even if there was staff would still be covered until their existing EBAs ran out
Less porn?
Isn't Didgi studying law????
If he is, then I apologise - but I stand by what I said.
