    I have been to a hearing with the AIRC for unfair dismissal and the commissioner has ruled in my favour (yah, I represented myself and they had a barrister) and now I have to go to a conciliation conference. What outcome can I expect, as in monetary terms? It is not possible for me to be reinstated (who would want to go back there now anyway). It has been 3 months since I left and I have suffered from depression because of it, my Dr says it will be another six months before I will be in the right state of mind to work again and even then there is no guarantee, since I would have been out of work for 9 months – with no previous reference and given the current economical state and the high unemployment rate there’s not a great chance. Also my husband and I have seperated and this whole things has been a major contributing factor – my depression. I have to move because I can’t afford to stay renting where I am. I can no longer apply for the first home owners grant, because I don’t have a job. Please help with with an amount of money that would be reasonable for me to expect. I cant afford legal advise.

      Question for Aussies who know the law.
      Okay, long story. I only have two points left on my license because of four speeding tickets I’ve had in the last few years. Yesterday, in the mail, I got another ticket on which I lost three more points. This takes my total to minus one, but that shouldn’t come into effect until after I pay the fine, as far as I know.
      So, I have a few questions:
      1. Is it right that the points won’t be actually lost until the fine is paid? I’m fairly sure, but is anyone 100% certain?
      2. Can I pay extra and just use my license for work? I’ve heard that people who have been caught for DUI can do this, so does it also apply to speeding fines?
      3. If I get a license that will enable me to go to and from work, will it also enable me to drive while I’m at work? A small part of my job will involve driving people around to different places.
      4. I found a bit later on the Legal Aid website that the Dept. of Transport write to people who use up all their points, and offer them either a 3 mth suspension OR a 1 yr good behaviour period. Here’s the website:

      http://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au/Legal+Inf…

      It seems that it’s okay to drive until I get the letter from the Dept. of Transport. Is that correct? Anyone know for sure?
      Thanks for any advice/info.!

        Thank you for your useful reply, syzygy. It helps me a great deal, but my question was actually directed to Australians who know the law. I have been driving for over 25 yrs without having an accident, and no-one with any brains believes that speeding causes accidents.
        Hopefully I’ll get some replies that actually answer my question/s.

          Ok.. here’s the scenario..

          We met and within a week were intimate.. we decided a month later to live together and then for the next 6 years were in contact dialy.. not a day went by that we didnt talk..

          My girl at the time had no assets and a basic job paying K.. I was an executive, living near the beach I owned a business was earning six figures and drove a new BMW..

          6 years forward.. she runs off one day.. only a week after I had relocated my office and life 500 meters from her family home.. i have never seen her since !!

          I then heard she was preganant and already married to another guy !!

          so clearly she cheated me clearly..

          but she denies it all.. she has told everyone we had broken up years ago.. but i have proof we were still living together .. thats easy to prove..

          i can also prove i spent 0,000 just in food, bills and rent as we lived either 20 meters off the beach or somewhere with sweeping city views for 6 years.. and i usually paid all the bills and most of the rent.

          we also had businesses together.. and i had registered one in her name.. as we planned ot marry so she was gonna work it while pregnant.. how convenient.. she took that too and no doubty is working it now with her new husband.. she stole everything i owned in that business.. including stuff she aasked to borrow only weeks before dumping me suddenly..

          i now lost my company and am unemployed living off my savings..

          meanwhile.. she is living a comfortable life now.. and is rich.. married and already has kids..

          i am still stuck 500 meters from her parents home !!

          i can sew her under de facto laws but no solicitor seems ot be interested..

          does anyone know my rights here.. coz this feminist has completely robbed me.. and she did it with a smile on her face.

          all info appreciated..
          haha.. funny replies.. YET when it happens to YOU.. you’ll be the one down at the pub winging.. Stuart.. she took nearly a million dollars in property.. i got ZERO !! and she lied to me so badly you have no idea.. but yeah i realise it is poiuntless tryna sew a female in australia.. i will let it go.. and let kharma do its work.. revenge will be sweet !!

          and thanks.. now i know not to EVER give a rats about anyone elses problems ever again .. thanks for liberating me from the social repsonsibility i thought i had.. now i know.. and that means your wife is not safe either !!

          so dont winge and hate a guy for doing it with your wife.. blame your wife.. then post here for pity so i can say TOO BAD.. like you all just said to me..

            This organization is trying to claim I got a job through them and pay them a fee… Can they legally get my pay stub from my current company and claim that is enough evidence to charge me?

            Can my company hand over the pay stub without my consent?
            Are there any other information that my company can do without my consent?

            Thanks for your help in advance

                    I employed a solicitor to carry me through the legal system to get my job back for unfair dismissal. We went to court for mediation which didnt get my job back rather a court hearing formally.
                    It was revealed to my solicitor by my jobs representing councellor that the boss didnt like me and that he would not have me back. I thought that was a very good grounds to get my job back or at least compensation.
                    My solicitor said those comments cannot be used in the court hearing even if it was told to him it would be deemed as hear say.And the most I can claim is 00 dollers compensation out of that his 00 fee comes out and I am left with 00 no job, and no reference for the years I have been with this company.
                    My solicitor keeps reasurring me he knows what hes doing. But is he correct. Need to know the answer urgent. If theres a solicitor or somebody that can put me on the right track.Id much appreciate it or give me advice on how to handle difficult representatives that refuse to consider ethical principles over legal politically correct proceedures.
