Steel,
You have shown yourself to be the most ignorant, blabbering idiot I have come across. huffnpuff is to be much admired and his untiring efforts to seek recognition for those who suffered terribly in state institutions, humbles me.

There is an icon at bottom/left of each post that gives a posters history. You should read that and also a Federal Government report called "The Forgotteh Australians".

If you did that you may just begin to see where huffnpuff comes from and a profound apology would be in order. But You wouldn't have the principle for that. Frankly, you are disgusting!

Even now, state wards often don't make it past primary school.

That is, the government, which is not only supposed to be looking after these kids but also mandates that children must go to school, doesn't bother making them go to school. They end-up ill-educatate, usually unemployed and often homeless. Their lack of education and status means that other people don't listen to them or take them seriously.

It is OUR fault. We vote for the people who continue to let this happen.

Take care of yourself huffnpuff.
I wish we could deal with these scum én masse, but in general we can only deal with them one by one, and sooo slowly. Their 'rights' are protected in a way that their victim's rights never were.

It is a long and continuing battle, and you must stay mentally and physically strong to fight to have YOUR rights recognised.

Do not be weakened by what they did to you; that means that they are still affecting your life, and the abuse in effect, continues.

Don't let them do that.

Be well, and keep up your fight.

RObert,
I am sorry to intrude on your thread and off topic, but I simply could not let the critisism of huffnpuff pass without comment. I do hope Barbara makes contact, that would be most interesting.

Huffnpuff,
Keep at it old son, you will win eventually. Your posts have inspired me now to write to my NSW pollies with some pertinant questions. I hope others do similar.

I said he sounded like a raving lunatic, and i stand by it. his post looks similar to one under god's. none of you can refute my words, instead you leap to conclusions about how i must be a denialist. typical kneejerk responses. I did him more a favour that all of you did not, by giving him implicit constructive feedback that his posts needed improvement. We do not need hysteria about "child abuse" after what has taken place recently. Hysteria and these witch hunts threaten to become destructive to society and the indviduals in it.

Steel I hold you accountable for the post still you are not the only one who has pointed out to huffnpuff that his posting in caps harms the post.
But it was done to help not hurt, and the answers came back telling of education and computer problems.
The dreadful story behind the posts, the pain beyond belief this man had inflicted on him.
The fight for so very many forgotten Australians that he just will not give up, speak for huffnpuff.
It is people like him that make an impact on our country.
You lashed out without thinking,if you can point to any constructive criticism in your post show me.
It hardly however calls for the death penalty read the history of the issue and tell us what you think then.
Yes we have turned a thread sorry RObert hope Barbara returns already I have learned from the thread.
Vanilla if only we had a party that truly stopped this crime maybe one day we will have only maybe.
