The Guardianship
Board:

filing applications with no intention of helping me
or my husband.

assist in getting my husband into hospital.

condition once in hospital.
Margaret Watson from the Guardianship Board refused
to allow Norma Furner to close a sale for the
business property in February 1997 even though a date
for a hearing had not yet been set, and there was no
reason at that time to believe that Mr Furner’s
finances would eventually come under the control of
the Protective Commissioner, since I was the only
applicant.
Margaret Watson from the Guardianship Board and Dr
Skarbek from Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital, before
the hearing had occurred or a date set, had my
husband on a list awaiting placement in a nursing
home in Sydney without my knowledge.
Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital and Balmain Hospital
staff denied me information as to my husband’s
medical treatment and results of that treatment.
Guardianship Board tried to get an injunction against
me re “protecting my husband’s business
premises” from being sold by me when they
knew this was a physical and legal impossibility.
(Extraordinary Hearing 27 March 1997)
Margaret Watson from the Guardianship Board seconded
‘witnesses’ for the hearing proper
(April 4th 1997) , when she was only supposed to be a
‘collector of facts’.

to coerce Mrs Norma Furner into “siding with the
Board’ in order to obtain an injunction against
me.(Extraordinary Hearing 27 March 1997)

O’Neil, President, Guardianship Board) to
withdraw the hearing and applications once my husband
had returned home to Queensland.(April 4th 1997)
Dr Skarbek (Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital) after a
‘case meeting’ with the
Guardianship Board decided that I should not be
permitted to take my husband out on day leave even
though he was an ‘informal’ patient. She
lied about his incontinence.
Dr Skarbek (Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital) did not
provide the Hearing with up to date, truthful medical
facts about my husband.(April 4th 1997)
Staff at Balmain Hospital were permitted to make
comments for the Hearing, which was accepted as
‘evidence’, about my
husband’s and my financial position when they
couldn’t possibly have had any knowledge of the
circumstances.(April 4th 1997)
Guardianship Board broke with “standard
procedure” by not making the
Guardianship Board Report available to me prior to
the second hearing.(April 4th 1997)

review of their procedures regarding the April 4th
hearing.
