Alice's brother had to arrange for the Taiwan Embassy Sydney to order the passport returned. The embassy was very helpful and brought the passport to the brother personally, but this did not happen until Alice had already been hospitalized for weeks and was already in the 2nd hospital. The Taiwan embassy rep even went to visit Alice personally in the hospital (in pouring rain!) - very compassionate man.
So the first hospital had some legitimate concerns about Alice's immigration/visitor/visa status in Australia, but could not get much done because she had no immediate family member in Australia (yet). Her brother arrived the day she was transferred.
(As a note, one hospital staff member assumed Alice was an illegal immigrant, but then after seeing the quality of her suitcase and the documentation within it (provided a few days after Alice's arrival there), saw that she was quite middle class.)
An Australian OSA rep arrived at the first hospital very shortly after Alice got there by ambulance. He had another man with him (identity unknown to us). Hospital has camera footage of the Scientologists - at the time, they were claiming Alice "attempted suicide" and Alice stated she was told to say this. She was also told to say she was "reaching for the stars". At first the OSA rep was trying to deny Alice living at Dundas, but this was easily disproven by the documentation left in her luggage that was in Taiwanese. Apparently the person who pulled EVERY Scn book and note about Scn out of her suitcase could not read Taiwanese and missed a few vital dox in her wallet. I saw them. We have them. Another footbullet - and one doc named her recruiter. Alice described how she was told to say the Taiwanese woman who recruited her (Tina) was her mother and the Scientologists were her brothers and sisters. Alice's mother died when she was a child.
