Breaking the Law in OZ

Question:

I understand that Australian practices were modeled on UK and US policies. Frightening reading, isn’t it? ****** www.angelfire.com/de/lilyorigins Veronica "What person can forget that he or she bore a child?" — Steve White, physician and teacher of medicine, Univ. of Chicago

Response:

The following appeared on a web page for the inquiry into adoption practices that is currently happening in Australia.

That sentence could be misread Veronica.  The inquiry (I assume it is the New South Wales inquiry) is currently happening, but it is inquiring into past adoption practices and the legality/illegality of the processes.  I first read your sentence to mean that the inquiry was to look at practices that are currently happening here … As I understand it, the inquiry is not yet finished, so no conclusions or final report could yet have been published.  I would be surprised though if it doesn’t find past practices to have been abhorent, callous and at times illegal.   Post the URL so we can see who wrote the comments please…  Otherwise they have no credibility.

It would really be helpful when mentioning a web site to give the URL. Yes, we can use search engines to seek out sites on the given subject and might luck out and find the mentioned site. Some of us work though  for a living and have limited computer time so  having the URL saves time. I won’t have time to look for this site until I finish this 12 day stretch of work . — Elizabeth "You  cannot legislate stupidity." Governor-elect Jesse "The Body" Ventura, 11/7/98

Of course, actually citing the URL so that we can look for ourselves is beyond you. Frightening reading, isn’t it?

That there is someone as disturbed as you? Indeed. steve Reply to:  stevewhite at ce dot mediaone dot net

Yes, it is. What’s most frightening about it is that it happened to so many thousands of women and their children, for so long… yet it’s been kept so quiet. Another thing that’s frightening is that many people either won’t believe it, or will accuse the author of exaggerating, for whatever reason. I think that a lot of people want birthmothers to shut the hell up.  That’s true even on this ng, where most posters have a personal stake in the issue. And it says a lot… a whole lot. Tough shit.  We’re not going to shut up, and we’re not going to go away.  Been there, done that, and had more than enough of being told what to do by people who are uncomfortable with the truth.
