The constable kept telling me that I had been dismissed from (my own) company. Police moved my Prado and trailer to Coles carpark and transported me handcuffed, lying on the floor and crying in the back of the Divvy Van to Morwell. We arrived at 2:30 am—100 km drive. Bail hearing at 4 pm, Six Custody Officers moved me from cells to the courtroom, and I walked barefoot & handcuffed with my hands in my back to the Court, shaking & following a sneezing custody officer, escorted & sat in the dock, between them, shoulders touching & no masks. The Police prosecutor made every effort to have me locked up; she could not pronounce LinkedIn, used my surname for my partner (who is denying having a relationship) and made many other mistakes. After the magistrate told me how frightening
my posts were to my partner and that I needed to be much more caring for him, she bailed me to reside at a bush caravan park in a tent, and the PSO is in place until 2060. My sister was expected to make a 500km trip to take me to get my vehicle. To comply with Bail conditions, I would have to drive about 80 km while traumatised, exhausted and hungry. It was degrading & traumatic. And now I'm stranded without my vehicle. Pains around my heart, I left the police station in Morwell carrying a plastic bag and crying 2hrs on the main street of Morwell, waiting for my sister. The perpetrators locate me again, and it is a Criminal offence for me to go to my residential workplace & my estranged husband is further emboldened and validated by the Police. Hundreds of documents have been generated by one abusive event that occurred in my workplace. Police did not allow me to report the breaches of the FVIO or report the DV that I am subjected to. I have been living in my 4WD since June 2019 and have criminal charges on the say-so of the perpetrator, who is the one engaging in the behaviours that he has had me charged with. I have lost everything, my health is failing, I am lonely and frightened, and they have even taken my daily companion dog. The noose is tightening in this never-ending, escalating domestic abuse carried out in my workplace.
