You are being tested!!!!! I have even gone so far as to object to all of this under proclamation 217A (iii) proclaimed by the united nations 1oth December. 1948. As I qm limbo caring or a ather-in-law in palative care? I havent got the reply back rom my wife as yet 1800 k's away. 1st all people need to realise that over paid and over numberred adminis are never in the communities interst! My heart goes out to these people even as a "Honky" white fella!!!! I have 3 children can claim heritage

You were right June - No-one is safe. The Government is seizing the Port of Hastings in Victoria because it does not want local dissent to get in the way of progress. But still, people down here don't get it.

Many thanks June for giving us the real perspective from the front line of this insane intervention. The whole of Australia needs to hear you voice - thanks SEP Australia for getting the ball rolling.
