Some time ago there was a thread about reference checking with regards to QF but I guess the technique could apply to any organization. A poster stated that if someone got a bad serve from a past employer, the prospective employer would then ask the referee to put their concerns in writing. If the referee then backed out you could be fairly certain that the referee was not being particularly objective.
I think a certain Operator in East Arnhem land has now become so infamous across the land, that putting them down for a Reference would not be such a great idea.
