hi to all the forgotten australians i again thank all for helping

(1) live export i went to the web site but i didnt know how to get access into it let me know please as all help is needed for us forgotten australians i will go back into the site after i post this email and try again

(2) vanilla thanks for letting know about the article in the age i printed it out least their is one news paper willing to write things for us its a real shame what we suffered some worse than others though their was no need for any of this to happen to any of us forgotten australians and that of us being children i have meet ms sheedy many times and she is one lovely lady and has been trying to get justice for all of us for a long time as of her colleauges

(3) for all out their i can only hope that the goverment and the states will act for the better

(4) Now the australian goverment is taking away the carer payments from them and they are the people who look after people like me i find it copletlely disgraceful of what the goverment is doing not only to the forgotten australians But now that of the carers who care for a lot of us

(5) so the goverment can hand over multi millions of dollars to other countries yet they will not even help their own country and their own people of this country the money that the goverment is giving to other countries would be better use for our own people that are still suffering from the abuses they suffered when they were children

(6) when the goverment takes the cares payment away from the people who care for us is this a stage that they the goverment are going to end up making people to rebel and commit crimes

(7) its not only the forgotten australians who are going to suffer i now those who are careing for those in need

kind regards micheal

Seeing the publication of a story about the 'Forgotten Australians' in The Age on Saturday,
(http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/pain-of-a-lost-childhood-remembered/2008/03/07/1204780065968.html)
I wrote the follwoing short letter in response. It will be interesting to see if they publish it.

How tragic that the elderly ‘Forgotten Australians’ have to struggle into Victorian courtrooms to seek compensation for a lifetime of grief brought about by the State (‘Pain of a lost childhood remembered’, Carol Nader and Dewi Cooke 
The Age, March 8, 2008).

The Victorian government makes it next to impossible for those who grew up in their ‘care’ to seek redress for the years of vile abuse and shameful neglect. Queensland, Tasmania and WA have set up redress schemes but Victoria with record budget surpluses is mean-spirited and cold-hearted.

If social justice is to mean anything more than a cliché, Mr Brumby, it’s time to stop using legal muscle to prevent real justice. It’s not too late to care for the ‘Forgotten Australians’.
