Merged Arday life and death

[SpuriusMaximus]

Easy.

If @Vixen thinks you're credible, and you say things that comport with her chosen narrative, then you are referenced by the epithet "Highly Respected" (like Dr Dewi Evans).

Of course, when she disagrees with you, she'll say you're some unknown guy nobody even heard about. She already did that flop about professor Harris in this very thread.

Let me add Australia to the other countries where it is illegal to have staff medical conditions on personnel files.

This you???

Dr Phil Hammond is a specialist in sexual health and paediatric chronic fatigue, but he is NOT, repeat NOT an expert or a specialist in the paediatics of premature births. He did not work with Letby or deal with premature babies on a daily basis (unlike the doctors at the unit who did both).

He also did not testify at the trial.
His opinions are at odds with those of his colleagues who DID testify at the trial and those doctors ARE experts in the paediatrics of premature births. One of those was Dr Dewi Evans

Maybe YOU should DM Dr Hammond and tell him to contact his colleagueDr Evans, who will explain it all to him!

I get it. You've got your panties in a bunch because I found a more qualified medical expert than yours.Well Boo Hoo!

There is no point in debating further with you. It will just waste time for both of us.

This was you promoting Dewi Evans as a "more qualified expert" and on the strength of his qualifications refusing to debate the Letby issue with me.

It's ironic, donchathink, that you often refer to people as "intellectual cowards" while hiding behind the block button when someone brings up inconvenient facts.

How do you guys know whom to allow in the more accessible parking slots?

If you really don't know your ignorance is profound.

Ed. Ah, just realised angrysoba was addressing Smart Cooky, not moi.

Former response: The thread is about Arday. Weird when people think threads about Letby or other issues are relevant to all issues. I don't recall promoting Dewi Evans as a "more qualified expert" (than yourself, presumably?), do you have a citation? I do think people hired to an official position such as a court-appointed expert witness cross-examined under oath to have more weight than a random on a chat list. Likewise, Mr. Afzal as Chief Crown Prosecutor will certainly have been well-versed in knowing the difference between opinion and established fact. If he says Arday was autistic, then I am confident he knows that for a fact.

Just waiting now for someone to claim Arday was his mother's ventriloquist dummy.

My ignorance of Australian laws and norms is practically limitless.

Why would they need to? Is that even a thing?

 

[d4m10n]

Why would they need to?

Where I live we have these parking slots labeled like this: ️

The government issues people parking passes based on demonstrated need, and many of those people are also government employees. No one seems to think it untoward that their employer knows about their medical condition.

In most countries, no doubt yours included, accessible parking permits are available to qualified persons without any "personnel files" at all.

Ah so you do know how disabled parking works without any access to personnel files.

 

[d4m10n]

…accessible parking permits are available to qualified persons without any "personnel files" at all.

So…the records about persons held at the motor vehicle department (or federal or local equivalent) don't count as files about personnel? Seems a bit narrow.

Why would they? A person does not require an entry in any employer's personnel file in order to be qualified to use a disabled parking stall.

Nobody is this confused.

Noobdy is this confused, either.

Why are you pretending?

 

[d4m10n]

A person does not require an entry in any employer's personnel file in order to be qualified to use a disabled parking stall.

Pretty sure it needs to be filed somewhere in order to ensure that only the right people have the right accommodations.

Are employees in Australia allowed to request flexible working arrangements on account of disability? If so, are employers required to destroy the documentation of the condition leading to the request? That seems incredibly inefficient.

Are pregnant people in Australia allowed to request maternity leave? If so, are employers required to destroy the documentation of the condition leading to the request? That seems incredibly inefficient.

 

[Mojo]

How does one get to be "highly respected" anyway? Asking for a friend.

Have you tried posting photographs of IQ test results with your screen name superimposed on them?

In the US, employers don't need to know the diagnosis of the employee. All they need to know is the specific restrictions documented by the employee's physician, so that the employer can work with the employee on accommodations for those restrictions.

 

[d4m10n]

In the US, employers don't need to know the diagnosis of the employee.

Requests for maternity leave tend to give away the underlying condition, and we're not talking about the U.S.

What I'm wondering about here is how Australian law prevents employers (including government employers) from documenting medical conditions which are relevant to work.

This is voluntary stuff on the part of the employee. Not stuff the employer is entitled or permitted to seek out and document on their own initiative. In the case of pregnancy leave, it's also a necessary exception. In the case of maternity leave, there is no medical condition. Rather, it's the fact of having newborn children, which is not a medical condition at all. Just a thing we like to offer time off for.

I doubt that Australian disability law is much different from US law in that respect. Some de minimis documentation of specific symptoms that might require accommodation, and mandated agnosticism about what the underlying condition might actually be.

What exactly is the nature of your concern? You question whether the US can manage it, so therefore you question whetherAustralia can manage it as well? Or you believe that the US can manage it, but for some reason question whether Australia can do the same?
