The cost, the toll, the harm it doesn’t matter which way you shape it
Up, it feels the same. It feels rat shit at best. We set out from day one of being locked out of our house with our priority to keep our girls safe and not living in worry or fear. We didn’t know how much asbestos they had been exposed too and the fact is because of the negligence and attempted cover ups, we will never know, but that’s how these people wanted it, safe guarding their precious corporate entity.
22nd of October 2021 was the last time we got to see our things, our kids personal stuff, our personal stuff, we didn’t know at that stage that was it, that in 10 months time every thing we owned, would be buried in a hole in the Pilbara desert. We didn’t know that Sodexo employees directed by Toby Ellis from Rio Tinto were going to break Tenancy laws, enter our home without our knowledge or consent and pack up all our belongings , go through our personal draws and dressers and throw everything into rubbish bags.
All just to hide evidence of their wrong doing.
For 9 months we lived in a caravan and a spare room at a family members with nothing, the clothes we walked out in, did they ever offer assistance, no, nothing, they constantly tried to fool us.For 9 months and still today(over 20 months) we have had to fight, like we have done something wrong, like we made the mistakes. They compensated us for our belongings...they had to, we couldn’t use them, they were contaminated . They made us sign a deed knowing very well we were under duress, that after everything they had put us through they thought they would eventually break us and in some ways at that point they did. They tried to trick us by waiving all future health liabilities on a few occasions, even for our children but they didn’t realise they were up against some parents that care and loved their kids and each other. They tried to bully us with their big lawyers, they nearly got us. I remember the evening, stepping out into the darkness, leaving my family sleeping, sitting crying, starring into the sky with an over powering feeling of guilt and shame for putting my family who I love so much in harms way, blaming myself. For taking that job and that shitty house, that shitty money for that shitty bunch of humans.
I couldn't figure out how to end my life, I didn't want to scare my girls, I just wanted disappear, the noise was deafening, death was so close I could taste it. I was broken and couldn't hide it any more. But the warrior in me stepped forward and stood up, they broke me, but didn't finish me. We are going to finish this for them, hold them accountable for what they have put our family through, the lies, the negligence, the disrespect, the ignorance, the coverups, the colluding and arrogance is all going to be their undoing. We will not rest until we have what we come for.
Truth. Accountability.
