Hi huffnpuff
IN ANSWER TO YOUR POST 05/09/2008 Quentin Bryce must work to derail the republican movement
I have read many of your articles you have posted online here. You write from the heart and draw no quarter, I admire the fire you have regarding the plight of Forgotten Australians.
The classic part with our Governor Generals if they are seen to take a stand they are seen to favouring one party over another. Although this might not be the case this is the way it is seen.
A couple of days ago I was reading an article written by Andrew Bolte who I must admit, has not the greatest idea about life in general. But he got wind of our new Governor General siding with the Rudd Government and immediately he starts to bag her. He accuses her of taking sides rather than look at the real issue and maybe see there is some merit in it, instead he would prefer to bag her than admit that she was right.
Don’t get me wrong I hope to god she does take a stand for us, heaven knows we need someone that has some clout, not like the useless senators that heard our submissions and also read them, all they let us do was open our hearts and souls for them , reliving our morbid past in the hope they would help but all they did was wept and have done nothing since.
Jump back on line huffnpuff keep yelling there are still more of us and sooner than later, like a Tsunami they wont be able to stop us.
Remember when we were kids they thought we would never talk because of the fear and shame put into our minds. Well guess what huffnpuff “we can talk” maybe that should be our slogan for Forgotten Australians “WE CAN TALK”

I am and always will be a FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN until the day I die.

And to all you Forgotten Australians out there I say,

STAND UP, STAND UP, WE ARE THE FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIANS

We will have our day

Hi Polycarp
Sorry about my slow response, but for the life of me I cannot see what Forgotten Australians and what you posted has anything whatsoever to do with what I had posted.
I have read your post about 10 times and I don’t see any relevance at all. If we were to go along with the adage of never expect anything from a politician, the children that were raised in institutions in Ireland would never have succeeded into getting the Irish government to compensate them for wrongs that were done to them.
Today in Ireland these children that were raised and abused in these institutions have everything that we are trying for here. If Ireland can do it, there is no reason why we as Forgotten Australians can’t do the same here.
And as long as I’m alive, I will dwell on the past, so I can ensure what happened to us as children will never happen again.
I am 62 and I can assure you I do enjoy my life, and I might add I am enjoying it more so now that I ever have. As long as I have breath in my body I will keep telling those that will listen what happened to us as children, and whether you want to know of it or not it is a very important part of Australian history. This is my way of filling in the gaps.

I am and always will be a FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN until the day I die.

And to all you Forgotten Australians out there I say,

STAND UP, STAND UP, WE ARE THE FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIANS

We will have our day and it will be like a Tsunami

Dear Bazzah,

I just came across an article that was done
by Dr Ben Mathews on 9 Sept. 2004 entitled:

"Senate report into the forgotten Australians:
Child abuse in institutional care."

You can find it on:

http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=2531

That was four years ago. And, although it's a
good article, I still feel that people need to
know through an updated article, on what hasn't been
happening to date.

Please, think about doing this...
