This article is in 2 parts, as I am angry.

I am angry at a MP, Joe McGirr, who is a GP, and since 2018, my local member for the seat of Wagga Wagga, for letting his office admin gaslight me after receiving this email i sent on the 9th March, and I am attaching the video under this paragraph.

I wrote this email to all members of NSW Parliament, as some of those members, may have been in Government or opposition in 2002, and current members of the HCCC (Health Care Complaints Commission) oversight committee. Here is the letter. This letter was one of 2 that became this article.

9th March 2026

To: Members of the Parliament of New South Wales Parliament House Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000

Subject: Systemic discrimination, historic misdiagnosis, and denial of redress for people with mental health conditions

Dear Members of the New South Wales Parliament,

I am writing to formally raise serious concerns regarding the treatment of people with mental health conditions within New South Wales government systems, including the public health system, employment practices within government departments, and barriers to accountability when harm has occurred.

My experience highlights a broader systemic issue affecting many people living with chronic mental health conditions in this state.

In 2003, while receiving care through the former Greater Southern Area Health Service, I was given a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder by a practitioner who was originally employed as a General Practitioner but hired to work in a psychiatric role. This diagnosis was incorrect. In 2014, after further assessment, my correct diagnoses were identified as Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and Chronic Schizophrenia that is non-episodic and non-violent.

This misdiagnosis had profound consequences for my life. It shaped how I was treated within the health system and influenced how other institutions perceived me. Borderline Personality Disorder is a diagnosis that carries significant stigma within healthcare and government systems, and the label itself resulted in prejudicial treatment rather than appropriate therapeutic care.

When I attempted to raise a complaint regarding this historic misdiagnosis, I was denied the opportunity to properly pursue it through the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) due to statute of limitation rules. In effect, this means that people who were harmed by misdiagnosis within the public health system may be permanently denied any meaningful pathway for accountability or compensation simply because the harm was discovered too late.

This creates an unjust situation where the system can make serious errors affecting a person’s life trajectory but avoid responsibility because of procedural time limits. For people with complex trauma and long-term mental health conditions, it is often many years before the true nature of their illness is properly diagnosed. By that point, the statutory limitation period has often expired.

I also wish to raise concerns about discrimination in employment within government-related organisations. I have experienced situations where departments such as NSW TrainLink and the Murrumbidgee Local Area Health District (MHLD) have not employed me due to the presence of a mental health condition. This reinforces a pattern in which people with mental health diagnoses are effectively excluded from meaningful participation in the workforce.

The reality is that many people with chronic mental health conditions are capable of contributing to society when reasonable support and fair opportunity are provided. Instead, the current system often treats us as liabilities rather than as citizens with rights.

More broadly, I believe the New South Wales Government does very little to genuinely support recovery for people living with chronic mental health conditions. The system often appears designed primarily around containment rather than healing. People are hospitalised, stabilised, and then discharged without adequate long-term therapeutic support.

At the same time, people with psychosocial disabilities who receive support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) are frequently directed back toward the public mental health system. However, the public system often refuses to provide treatment if the person is already seeing private psychologists or psychiatrists. This creates a contradictory situation in which individuals are forced between systems that refuse to cooperate with one another.

The result is that people with chronic mental illness fall through systemic gaps, receiving neither consistent therapy nor coordinated care.

Another serious concern is the fear of retaliation for raising complaints about government departments or services. Many people living with mental health conditions believe that if they formally complain about government agencies, they risk informal blacklisting from employment opportunities or other services. There are also widespread concerns that people who challenge public authorities may face indirect restrictions, including difficulties accessing services such as public transport or government employment pathways.

Whether or not such actions are formally acknowledged, the perception of retaliation alone creates a chilling effect that discourages vulnerable people from seeking justice or accountability.

For these reasons, I am formally requesting the opportunity to meet with:

• The Premier of New South Wales • Relevant Ministers responsible for Health, Mental Health, Disability Services, and Transport • My local Member of Parliament

The purpose of these meetings would be to discuss:

1. The systemic impact of historic psychiatric misdiagnosis.

2. The unfair application of statute of limitations preventing legitimate complaints through the HCCC.

3. Discrimination against people with mental health conditions in trying to gain government employment.

4. Failures within the public mental health system to provide meaningful therapeutic care for chronic conditions.

5. Structural gaps between the NDIS psychosocial supports and the public mental health system.

I am seeking a fair and constructive resolution that includes acknowledgement of the harm caused by historic misdiagnosis, a formal apology, and appropriate compensation where systemic failures have occurred.

If these discussions do not lead to meaningful outcomes, including recognition of the issues raised and appropriate remedies, I will have no option but to consider pursuing legal action. Such action may proceed as a test case examining potential breaches of the human rights of people living with mental health conditions in New South Wales.

My intention in writing this letter is not confrontation, but accountability and reform. People living with chronic mental health conditions deserve dignity, access to proper care, protection from discrimination, and a fair pathway to justice when systems fail them.

I hope the Parliament of New South Wales will take these concerns seriously and engage in constructive dialogue toward meaningful reform.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Sean Campbell

Last paragraph of this letter was redacted, as I am not airing that here..

Now in part 2, I will continue this by giving an example of a rejection a person with lived experience goes through looking for work.
