Woman Pretended To Be A Doctor To Issue Fake Covid Exemptions

The woman charged with posing as a doctor so she could allegedly issue more than 600 fake Covid exemption certificates has appeared in a Gold Coast court.

She arrived at court on Thursday dressed all in black and wearing significantly less makeup than she does in her social media pictures, ignoring questions from a large continent of reporters.

Ms Pau seemed taken aback by the size of the media presence. Maskless, she took one from her bag and put it on when security at Southport Courthouse asked her to do so on entry.

A large media contingent pursued Ms Pau as she left the court. She is due back in court on November 18

Inside Court 1, Ms Pau's matter was quickly adjourned until November 18 after a request from her solicitor Ali Rana of Armstrong Legal and was released on bail.

Ms Pau was chased by the large media pack as she exited the court accompanied by a Salvation Army support person.

Police charge sheets obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Ms Pau faces five charges related to allegedly posing as a health practitioner on August 6 and August 25.

She believed she had the authority to hand out medical documents, police claim.

Ms Pau, 45, from Darling Heights, near Toowoomba, was arrested at an address on Robert St, Labrador on October 13.

Police allege she charged $150 per certificate to clientele located across Australia.

Detective Acting Inspector Damien Powell from Taskforce Sierra Linnet said Ms Pau was arrested after a tip-off from a member of the public.

'She's of the belief that she's entitled to issue those certificates,' Det Inspector Powell said, alleging Ms Pau was 'anti-Covid'.

'She does not hold a medical doctorate degree. And as I indicated earlier, she's not registered with AHPRA (the Australia Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), nor is she registered with Medicare,' police alleged.

Ms Pau has since disabled many of her social media accounts but previously had an extensive online presence.

She had founded a charity, Coaching With Substance, which aims to help people overcome addictions, 'improve their life skills and reclaim a sense of self-worth'.

She said her charity is 'multi-award winning' and that she is an international best-selling author who has written over 150 articles and academic texts regarding wellness and recovery from addiction.

In an online bio, Ms Pau's doctorate was on 'measuring the effect of coaching in subjects with substance use issues using the mind-body-spirit framework coined "Collaborative Peer Recovery Coaching"'.

'ARE WE REALLY STILL penalising those without FACE MASKS OR giving energy to A VIRUS with a less than two per cent death rate. I'm so confused as to how the COVID can still be the number one talked about subject when it is now COMMON PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE that our ENTIRE WORLD is being systematically controlled by a Global Elite PEDOPHILE RING.

Penalties for offences of this nature included a fine of up to $10,000 and potential imprisonment.

Thinking About Organizing Marijuana Testing In Your Company?

Marijuana regarded as a safe recreational drug by a large group of people worldwide, but it can still create unrecoverable problems for a person who is tested and proven positive. Although, very common problem amongst people these days, it is still increasing day by day in the form of filled with the original content of cigarette hence it mixes with the nicotine and turns out to be more injurious. In other forms, Marijuana can also be taken as a tea or mixed in foods. After getting a new job, meeting with an accident at a current job, or for sports or academics, one may be asked marijuana tests. Marijuana is that narcotic that is most probable to stay in human body for days, weeks, or possibly a whole month prior to the last time one has intake it. And for information, traces of marijuana can even displayed after half a year of its intake, with the help of hair tests.

And Besides Its Medical Use

The Supreme Court has ruled in a 6-3 decision that Congress has the right to outlaw medicinal marijuana, thus subjecting all patients to federal prosecution even in states where the treatment is legalized. Meaning that doctors can still give medical marijuana in states where it's legal, but the DEA can bust down the door of a person using the drug to fight off a spinal injury and put them in jail. Which makes, well, no sense at all. You can debate this issue on and on, but the fact of the matter is...medical marijuana works. I will never cease to understand the constant struggle to have it be used to treat ill patients suffering from various debilitating diseases and injuries in which a controlled use of cannabis would greatly benefit their recovery and coping process. And just because a drug is frequently used (and abused) recreationally isn't just cause to make it illegal for those in need who could use its benefits. After all, Ritalin, sleeping pills, Adderall and many other...

As Marijuana Use Grows, Researchers Want To Know How It Affects The Heart

We need a lot more research," said Dr. Robert Kloner, chief science officer at Huntington Medical Research Institutes and professor of medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "It's inevitable that more and more states are going to legalize marijuana for medical and/or recreational use, and the cardiology community and the users need to know more about the impact." Doctors should be asking their patients about it, said Dr. Ersilia DeFilippis, a cardiology fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City. We need to ask patients about marijuana use. In what forms it's being used. They need to understand it may interact with some of the medications they are taking, and that it can better help us evaluate their risk." More people in the United States are using marijuana-and doing it more frequently, according to the World Drug Report published last year by the United Nations. Annual use increased from 10% to 15% in t...
