Gillian Sneddon was one of the driving forces bringing damning evidence against her former employer Milton Orkopoulos.
Ms Sneddon helped convict Orkopoulos, collecting evidence for police during her time as his electorate officer in the Hunter seat of Swansea.
But telling the truth meant she paid the ultimate price with her career. She was sacked on the day she began to give evidence in the child sex and drugs trial.
Ms Sneddon has since labelled her sacking as a disgrace and maintains revealing the scandal was the right thing to do.
"If I had not told the truth I would still have my job, but Milton would still be the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs."
"I'd like to know the reason why Robert Coombs didn't want me to work in his office.
"I believe it was because I told the truth. Or he's been perhaps even warned off me by head office of the ALP."
"I'm not going to get well until all of the people concerned, their antics are exposed."
Opposition leader Barry O'Farrell says it is unacceptable to treat a witness in this way.
"The public will be shocked that the very person who unmasked Milton Orkopoulos and led to his conviction as a pedophile has been sacked.
"This is not the way whistleblowers are meant to be treated and it's certainly not the way we should treat someone who's helped put a pedophile behind bars."
Mr O'Farrell has demanded to know who knew about allegations made against Orkopoulos and why Labor MPs didn't contact police.
Former MP Bryce Gaudry has admitted he was told about the allegations against Orkopoulos a year before his arrest, but did not go to police.
Mr Gawdry said he doesn't regret keeping quiet, claiming when he questioned his former colleague about the allegations a year before his arrest, Orkopoulos said he had contacted police himself.
