British
nurse Kelly Wainwright who got a job in Mount Isa thought she would be living
her dream, but it very soon turned into a nightmare.
She took
a manager's role in the sexual health unit of Mt Isa Hospital, a position that
had been vacant for almost two years before she arrived.
Six weeks
after she arrived, Ms Wainwright's government-provided home was broken
into. Not long after that, her home was targeted by teenagers, who
allegedly brutally assaulted a 14-year-old relative staying with her.
Ms Wainwright
reported the attack to police but said she was told: 'You live in Mt Isa, I
suggest you go and learn how to fight.'
Her employers were so concerned for her
safety they asked senior health officials to move her and her teenage cousin to
a safer home but the request was denied.
Ms
Wainwright soon found she could not cope with the situation any longer, but as
her visa was specifically tied to the Mt Isa Hospital job, she decided her only
option was to go home to the UK.

The ACT's electronic
voting system was the first of its kind to be used for parliamentary
elections in Australia. The electronic voting system was first used at the 2001
ACT Legislative Assembly election and has been used at all subsequent elections
in 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020. The 2024 election will also feature
electronic voting at multiple locations across Canberra’s main town
centres.
