THANK YOU - Funding request closed - Update soon
Former Origin Energy executive and whistleblower Fiona Wilson was detained by the new Queensland Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (QFTAC) and injected against her will and without any charges laid against her. Fiona has since been released but must report monthly. Injections have ceased subject to deterioration in her mental state, although she lives with the constant threat that she will be detained & injected again.
Fiona is appealing this and the next hearing is on 22nd January 2019 in Brisbane. Fiona is still desperately looking for a barrister with experience in mental health cases to represent her in court. The current push for more donations is to pay for that. To date we have paid for the various medical reports from psychiatrists and psychologists, plus legal briefs for her appeal.
It is the opinion of all independent psychiatrists and psychologists (including the Head of Psychiatry at a major Sydney hospital, a Clinical and Consulting Psychologist, and a qualified Counsellor), that Fiona was/is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following the ordeal of blowing the whistle on the coal seam gas industry - and is NOT delusional, as the QFTAC have claimed.
The QFTAC are interpreting very broad definitions in Fiona's case. Fiona was merely trying to contact the relevant Queensland Minister about the evidence that she was exposing. Instead of acting on Fiona's evidence, the Minister referred her to QFTAC.
Details of the QFTAC and Fiona's case are on Twitter here:

Proactive intelligence agencies undoubtedly have their place, particularly in an ever-more-sophisticated world of anti-government activity. But so, of course, do concepts of open government, transparent and accountable law enforcement, and the right to dissent.
Unfortunately, the online QFTAC brochure is long on why ‘fixated persons’ must be monitored, but regrettably short on whether, and if so how, its own activities are. With no mention of any kind of public interest monitor, we’re left to wonder just precisely who is fixating on the people fixating on the fixated people.

Fiona has since moved hundreds of kilometres away from Brisbane to begin a new life with her partner, but is still trapped in this new system. Fiona has exhausted her bank account fighting this to date but now needs a barrister to appeal the QFTAC's harsh new laws.

This update from Fiona, dated 13th December:
Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤big hugs to the beautiful souls who were there in support of justice and helped me get through this ongoing drama series.
I don't want to say anything that can interfere with current proceedings but I am happy with the outcome of events which have afforded me the opportunity to keep building a stronger case.
After yesterday's proceedings I was left feeling a sense of excitement and can't wait to attend the next round for a bigger and stronger fight.
Action plan already set to ensure im given more opportunity to correct misleading statements and present my concerns instead of having statements made and decisions granted with no opportunity to have any say.
Steps are in place to avoid reoccurance of this
Despite barriers, I was able to force the recommencement of the hearing after the Judge closed proceedings without opportunity to challenge or make any requests.
I simply can't allow myself to hand over all rights to others to make my decisions and not have any say.
After a short adjournment to reconsider their plan of attack, having heard my concerns, a decision was returned which left me shocked on how it even came into play?
No point trying to understand. Im sure these steps are justifiable and would hold up to public scrutiny. Time will tell of course.
Countdown is on.....22 January 2019 in preparation for the next round of surprises and opportunities to fight back!!!! Truth walks slowly ❤❤❤ much love to all the amazing supporters x
