REGARDING the proposed closing of old folks homes, I don't know which "banana" councils are responsible for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if half of them were still sucking their dummies or not even born.
Do they not realise that a lot of men and women who are being terrified now over their future are the ones who were terrifed 50-plus years ago -- in the prison camps and the jungle hoping to give freedom to those who are proposing these closures? I know quite a few.
