I had lemons placed everywhere.

People walked on the other side of the corridors.

No one would talk to me.

I went into a really bad depression.

We had lots of meetings and organisation and more demonstrations.

I just ran to those because if it wasn't for those, I don't know what, I probably would have gone back into the closet.

I just was so depressed at the way that, oh, I'm still not normal.

I'm hated for what I am.

And I have to say the only way my job was saved was Michael.

He was my HR manager.

He was an American.

and he was gay he was a closet gay and he told me he called me up and he said you've got to keep your head down the only reason you've got this job is because I've saved it and I'll be ever thankful for that man I would have lost my job like I think others did on that night so it was very nasty for a very long time

Yes.

I called a friend of mine who lived in Maroubra.

She was there within 40 minutes because I was naked.

I mean, I was completely in shock.

I didn't know what to do.

She came.

She called rape crisis and she put the phone on.

She said, my name's Anne.
