What does Peter Ford know?

Ross and John on the ins and outs

UPDATE: Ross Stevenson has confirmed via 3AW Breakfast reporter Peter Ford, who made contact with Olivia, that she does not remember Steve Tucker and has no interest in getting in contact with him.

She has no interest in going public to 'reveal herself', she told 3AW.

REPORT: A Canberra public servant, looking for love, is in trouble after firing off an email to nearly 7,000 work colleagues to find a mystery woman.

Steve Tucker's searching for a fellow public servant, known only as Olivia, who's tall and olive-skinned and he met briefly at a party.

He's contacted thousands of colleagues in the Immigration Department.

In his note he admits using the government email system wasn't the most appropriate thing to do and it seems his bosses agree.

The matter is now being investigated.

Here's an excerpt of what Steve emailed:

Mr Tucker sent the email to the entire ACT branch of the Immigration Department, listing his direct extension, email and snail mail.

''There is a person that works here at DIAC [Department of Immigration and Citizenship], who has a housemate by the name of 'Olivia'. This message is for you,'' he wrote.

''Olivia is tall and olive skinned. She moved to Canberra from Sydney last February to work in the Public Service."

''Briefly, I met Olivia on the Saturday night just passed. She left a strong and positive impression on me. Unfortunately, people got in the way after we met and I didn't get to finish our meeting how I wanted to. This has been bugging me ever since."

''If you can kindly let Olivia know that I would like to get in contact with her or alternatively get in touch with myself, I will be very appreciative."

''Disclaimer: I understand this is not the most appropriate channel. It is not my intent to misuse this email address. I have struggled to write and send this message. It has taken all of my willpower to do so.''

Should he be sacked or helped in his quest for love?

  • Come on you old farts~! Haven't you ever done anything on the spur of the moment, just because someone had such a profound affect? It's all part of the growing process, give the guy a break~! When it comes to love, sometimes logic goes out the window~! lol

  • I think he is gay but he needs to be advertised and chose to promote himself knowing the girls would not have liked him anyway. Follow that.

  • Is that not the new Aussie male? Or conversely the opposite type is the foul act boyz stuff. Girls find it difficult to get any good thing in between.

  • Just one look at this guys eyes and you know he looks mental, This guy is either a complete stalker or trying to get his own reality dating show so he can maybe get laid for the first time.

  • An investigations?
    How about a suffice
    "Don't do that again or you will risk losing your job"
    Takes 20 seconds with no costs.

    The public service is so disfunctional. The time and money they waste over trivial matters is outrageous.

    Any wonder the people of Australia can't get any satisfaction with Public...(non service.)

    Oh well, I suppose these investigations give someone a fat pay packet and drops unemployment statistics.
