To this date I have not been allowed Freedom of Information.
But I have established that my official Queensland Department of Education "records" have been extensively falsified.
Many of the falsified documents are described in detail at - http://badapplebullies.com/thefalsifiedrecords.htm
My Freedom of Information applications are detailed at -
http://www.badapplebullies.com/freedomofinformation.htm
I anticipate that my experience will be the sort that is portrayed to you as a "problem with a vexacious applicant".
But I would suggest that it is not my applications for these missing "lot of allegations" in the "lots of pieces of paper to prove how things may have happened" that is the problem.
It is the refusal of the acting principal to either produce these documents or to admit that there were no allegations against me, and to remove her offensive and deeply unprofessional letters to me from my official Department of Education files.
The problem is not the policies, it is the practices.
My Freedom of Information experience suggests to me that the real problem is not a problem with the official Department of Education policies, but with the abusive workplace practices of Department of Education administrators.
The bully administrator is able to establish inappropriate "mobbing bonds".
My own bully administrator managed to form inappropriate "mobbing bonds" with other administrators and even with Head Office staff, including -
- a very senior officer who was controlling the investigation into my complaint
- and also one officer who was involved in "searching" for my FOI documents.
I have found the documentary evidence of these inappropriate "mobbing bonds" in the FOI documents.
These inappropriate "mobbing bonds" have affected my FOI applications.
You are so right when you say that there is nothing wrong with the Policies and that the problem is with the practices.
I too have witnessed the abuse of process by the NSW DET with regard to FOI and the handling of complaints. They seem to have destroyed documents specifically requested to be set aside under FOI, they seem to have tampered with and manipulated documents, they seem to have presented misrepresentations and presented my actions in trying to seek justice and protection for my children as the actions of a vexatious parent and they have refused to investigate the allegations whilst representing them as having been investigated.
They have failed to afford our family procedural fairness and natural justice and it seems that the majority of people do not care.
That is why they get away with it.
I will fight this to the bitter end. Lets just hope that eventually they crack.
