Dr Susan Moriarty, Industrial Law Consultant, 231 North Quay, Brisbane, 4000, (07) 3236 3933. Email: admin@kerinandco.com.au Susan spoke at the conference on Workplace Mobbing that was held in Brisbane in October. The conference papers can be found at http://www.workplacemobbing.com/. Susan is a former adviser to Queensland's Anti-Discrimination Commission. She has spoken out about the abuse of Section 85 to bully Public Service employees in the Sunday Mail. As a result of the articles in the Sunday Mail and on ABC radio, Susan was contacted by many people needing immediate legal assistance. She was unable to attend to all of their needs because she already had a full caseload. In 2005 Susan will be writing a book about the nature, effects and consequences of workplace change in the Queensland Public Service 1989-2004. She will also be providing training to QPS agencies in "best practice" human resource management calling on practices in the Scandinavian countries to compel real interest in changing the current punitive culture to a gentler culture.
