I have also been a panelist on Q&A as a result of “Becoming Julia” – it was hosted by Tom Ballard.

Full Q&A program

Two minute excerpt from Q&A

My crashing of Cory Bernardi’s Press conference and challenging him on his comments about marriage equality leading to beastiality. I couldn’t say what I really though because just behind me out of camera shor were four of his very big body guards telling me to move on – yes, I was frightened of them.

My transition was documentaed over tow years in the film “Becoming Julia” and screened nationally and internationally when transgender was still very much taboo and not spoken of outside of the “Pink Triangles” of our capital cities. “Becoming Julia” brought transsexualism into the loungerooms or main stream Australia in prime time, bringing about greater understanding and acceptance of trans people in society.

I was wrongfully sacked in 2002 from my NSW Government bus driver job in Sydney soon after my transition. A litany of demonstrable lies has been told to governments from this time to justify this. The willingness of governments to blindly accept these lies without giving me the right of reply has resulted in my being diagnosed with “Serious Clinical Depression” and today I am a broken down impoverished, depressed wreck not a shadow of the person you see in “Becoming Julia” NSW Government and NSW Transport Autorities use the depression they, and only they have caused me as a reason to not talk to me or redress this as Gladys Berejiklian and Barry O’Farrell promised when they were in opposition.

Will one of these high profile gay/lesbian journalists take up my case for compensation. Initially all I wanted was reinstatement but that would not be possible now after the lies told about me. Please.
