Sensing that the the destruction of evidence was imminent, I filed an interim order application seeking an order that all eCert access logs be retained. On the morning of the hearing on 17 July 2018 I received a letter from the Crown Solicitors Office telling me my application had no tenable basis in fact or law and that if I didn't withdraw from the interim order hearing scheduled for noon then Sydney Local Health District would seek an order of costs. Here, I call up Richard to get his advice. Unbeknownst to me, evidence had already been destroyed, something which I would only come to realise about one year later.

9:45 am - 17 July 2018 / Phone call to Richard on morning of interim order hearing

On 15 December 2017 I called up Victoria Monahan who is the Senior Privacy Officer over at NSW Health asking her if she had forwarded my letter notifying Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) and other Local Health Districts that I was withdrawing my consent to using my records for eMR training, as well as any other secondary purposes I was unaware of. 

This call was lawfully recorded under lawfully under section 7(3)(b)(i) of the Surveillance Devices Act ('SD Act') as it was reasonably necessary for the protection of my lawful interests. 

Ms Monahan thought that withdrawing consent was my personal opinion and that you can't actually withdraw consent.

I subsequently received a letter from Hon Brad Hazzard (NSW Minister for Health) informing me that SLHD and other LHDs had been notified that I did not consent to the secondary use of my records. 

On 1 March 2018 I received 'fake internal review' from Natalie Szulgit 'accepting' my 3 November 2017 'request' to restrict my records for eMR training.
