Scott McCarthy & Catherine LOFT – 29 May 2022
Catherine LOFT with Scott John McCARTHY 17 January 2017:
Lifelong commitment is not what everyone thinks it is. It’s not waking up early every morning to make breakfast and eat together. It’s not cuddling in bed together until both of you peacefully fall asleep. It’s not a clean home and a homemade meal every day.
It’s someone who steals all the covers. It’s sometimes slammed doors, and a few harsh words, disagreeing, and the silent treatment until your hearts heal. Then…forgiveness!
It’s coming home to the same person everyday that you know loves and cares about you, in spite of and because of who you are. It’s laughing about the one time you accidentally did something stupid. It’s about dirty laundry and unmade beds without finger pointing. It’s about helping each other with the hard work of life! It’s about swallowing the nagging words instead of saying them out loud.
It’s about eating the cheapest and easiest meal you can make and sitting down together at 10 p.m. to eat because you both had a crazy day. It’s when you have an emotional breakdown, and your love lays with you and holds you and tells you everything is going to be okay, and you believe. It’s about still loving someone even though sometimes they make you absolutely insane.
Living with the person you love is not perfect, and sometimes it’s hard, but it’s amazing and comforting and one of the best things you’ll ever experience.
Go ahead and share a picture of the person you love and copy and paste this, make their day
— with Catherine Loft.

Liverpool Police Officer – Detective Cameron Thomas a Detective stationed at the Liverpool Police Area Command Detectives Office.
He is the son of retired Chief Inspector Stephen. W. Thomas. While he was stationed at Marrickville in 2017, he and two other Police Officers were called to the Telstra Store at Marrickville, regarding a customer refusing to leave the store.
The customer M.D. refused to leave the Telstra Store after months of battling with the telco.
Having spent hours on the phone, making some 80 calls, to Telstra trying to get his NBN connected properly installed, he had enough and staged an impromptu sit-in.
Police were called and Detective Cameron Thomas, Probationary Constable Christopher Williams and Senior Constable Scott McCarthy, attended and started negotiating with Telstra on the customers behalf.
“They (police) understood. They used their excellent negotiating skills to negotiate what I hadn’t been able to in the last four months. One was technically minded and got it. He knew what I needed.” said M.D.
The Police moved and negotiated between both parties and eventually solved the issue.
The next day a Star Track Express Van delivered all the things we needed to our new home. It was important to me working from home in the film and television industry. As a result of the Police sorting out the problem, we had internet the next day.
This was a big win for ‘community policing’ and a giant fail for the telco.
Family and Friends are invited to a funeral service to celebrate Scotts Life on the 6th of June at the Chapel at Norwood Park Crematorium commencing at 1:30pm.
Livestreaming for Scott’s service will be available on the Norwood Park Website.
Offer a heartfelt message to the family of the deceased.

Dear Family of Scott’s
Not a day went by in the workplace when Scott didn’t say something lovely about his children. He was super proud of his social work daughter, his adult girls, the daughter who did martial arts, his son’s footy and all other things. He was a generous hearted man and I am sure you will all continue to make him proud. I hope you all will find ways to see light in the darkness. From my family to yours- we send you love.

Love the Ryan family

NBN protester’s problem solved by police called to remove him from Telstra store
By William McInnes and Kate Aubusson
Updatedfirst published at
When Matt Dooley refused to leave a Telstra store after months of battling with the telco, the last people he might have expected to fix his problem were the police called to remove him from the store.
Having spent hours on the phone to Telstra trying to get his NBN connection properly installed, he had had enough and staged an impromptu sit-in at the Marrickville Metro store.
When the store called security, and then police, to have him removed from the store, he was surprised by what happened next.
The three officers – Probationary Constable Christopher Williams, Senior Constable Scott McCarthy and Detective Cameron Thomas – started negotiating with Telstra staff on Mr Dooley’s behalf.
“The cops kind of took our side,” Mr Dooley said. “They understood. They used their excellent negotiating skills to negotiate what I hadn’t been able to in the last four months.
“One was very technically minded and got it. He knew what we needed.
“This cop was running back and forth between us to negotiate so we didn’t have to talk to each other, talking about cables and routers and modems.”
Mr Dooley said he and his girlfriend sat by the front door as the police moved back and forth, negotiating between the two parties before eventually solving the issue.
“Lo and behold the next day there was a Star Track Express delivered to our house with all the things we needed and just all sorted out,” he said.
“As a result of police coming to the store we had internet that afternoon and cable the next day.”
The successful negotiating of the police ended a months-long saga for Mr Dooley, who had been trying to get internet at his new house since September.
Working from home in the film and television industry, he needed good and reliable upload capacity so chose an NBN plan through Telstra.
“It was horribly mishandled,” he said. “A handful of technicians came and didn’t install it properly. Everyone just didn’t know what they were doing.”
He tried calling their support line, making over 80 calls to the telco in a bid to rectify the issue. He said he was often passed between four or five people who were all unable to help.
“The aim has got to be for Telstra to get rid of you. They just don’t care. If you call and ask to speak to sales you’ll get through to someone right away.”
He took his complaints to the industry ombudsman but was found that he was just one of many putting in complaints about their telco provider.
“They were so overwhelmed by complaints they couldn’t do anything effectively. They told me they were backlogged by a month of cases they can’t get through.”
“I was temporarily disabled at the time. I had broken my leg and I was losing thousands of dollars in money not being able to do work because had no internet from home.
“I’m convinced it affected my mental health. I got so angry and frustrated. It sounds really whingey but internet is so essential but also my lifeline for work and being laid up for months,” he said.
“What really got frustrating and got me down was in the end there was no one accountable.”
After $3000, 100 hours on the phone and a temporary ADSL connection, Mr Dooley had had enough.
With a still-healing leg, Mr Dooley went with his girlfriend to the Telstra Marrickville Metro store on Wednesday.
Although he had managed to get the NBN cable installed, he still needed a modem, router and cable.
“I said just give me that stuff at least and I’ll run it out the window. They said they couldn’t help and I said we’re not leaving so they called security.”
While he was lucky to have three cops step in to assist, Mr Dooley said that there were others not so fortunate.
“I think about people who don’t know about tech who are elderly or don’t speak the language properly. They would never be able to deal with this. What really got frustrating and got me down was in the end there was no one accountable.

“[While we were in the store], an elderly man came and congratulated us saying ‘I think it’s great what we’re doing’,” Mr Dooley said.
“A whole lot of people came up and told us their horror stories of telstra problems.”

Heartfelt condolences to Scott’s family. I worked with scott at Goulburn. Always professional and yet always good for a laugh… he will be missed.
Dear Family of Scott’s
Not a day went by in the workplace when Scott didn’t say something lovely about his children. He was super proud of his social work daughter, his adult girls, the daughter who did martial arts, his son’s footy and all other things. He was a generous hearted man and I am sure you will all continue to make him proud. I hope you all will find ways to see light in the darkness. From my family to yours- we send you love.
Not a day went by when Scott didn’t share with me, at work, something about his children. He was super proud of his adult girls, the social worker, his daughters’ martial arts, and his son’s footy. He was always beaming about something his children had done. I hope you manage to find some light in the darkness, and feel the love that surrounds you.
Love the Ryan family
