NSW dept sacked manager for helping police

NSW dept sacked manager for helping police

The NSW transport department sacked a manager for serious and wilful misconduct when he gave information to homicide detectives.

The police were investigating the 2018 murder of Nicole Cartwright, allegedly at the hands of former departmental employee Dennis James Pietrobon.

Forensic manager Thomas Wood saw media reports of Pietrobon's arrest in May 2020 and immediately approached police, telling them of his investigations into the accused before Pietrobon's dismissal in 2019.

One investigation concerned an allegation that Pietrobon stalked and sexually harassed a colleague and had used fetish dating apps at work to download naked pictures.

Another centred on Pietrobon's failure to disclose a conviction for punching a school student.

Well, that's messed up. Seems like those managers better go back to privacy and confidentiality school, and learn what the law is.

"The employee after all was obliged to tell police of the information, as per the law against concealing information related to serious offences, she (Judge Scmidt) said."

Glad to see he won his case against the Transport Dept.

Pretty disturbing that a government department thinks the law doesn't apply to them? Uhhh just because you're the government doesn't mean you don't have to follow the same laws as everyone else!

Yes, agree wholeheartedly. Hope he receives adequate compensation.

Wow Transport for NSW seems to think they are above the law! Disgusting that this man was fired for doing what is lawful, THE RIGHT THING.
Yet the snr manager that was engaged in an illicit affair that went on for years & helped him secure jobs ‍ STILL works there.. sounds like corruption to me

It doesn’t seem like it.

Inquest into the killer's death is same week and location as Melissa Caddick's inquest.
Upcoming inquests

Apologies - in my excitement I missed the words "direction hearing". The inquest itself apparently is not yet on.

There had been more reporting on the sacking of the manager at Transport NSW a few months ago:

Wood told detectives he had investigated the accused, Dennis Pietrobon, for alleged stalking, intimidation and sexual harassment at Transport for NSW, as well as using its resources to view *advertiser censored*.

Wood also alerted police to the existence of records held by Transport for NSW about Pietrobon. The department had earlier failed to turn over those records in response to a police request and incorrectly claimed there were “nil complaints” about Pietrobon on file.

Department was warned before sacking employee for helping with murder probe
