Niresh,

1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.

Thanks

Hi Kyle,

Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion

Hi Niresh,

My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager’s discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.

Thanks

"Following an investigation into AAPT's email records, we can confirm the email exchange between two of our employees ... never occurred," the telco said in a statement.

"This issue will continue to be dealt with internally, as a matter of standard company process."

A company spokeswoman would not elaborate on any theories about how the alleged email exchange became public or could have been created.

The latest developments, however, will create speculation that the exchange was cooked up by trouble-seeking colleagues of Mr Doyle and his boss.

Meanwhile, Mr Doyle, who lists his political views as "Liberal Party of Australia", has been uncontactable and AAPT staff were ordered not to discuss their most famous colleague.

However his incriminating Facebook page now lists his status as "trying to hide :/." It has also been innundated with messages of support - including 175 personal messages.

When Mr Colvin's boss, Paul Davis, replied to the email, he copied the entire office.

"Thanks for letting us know - hope everything is OK in New York," he wrote.

"Cool wand."
