#1368 Wednesday 12 October

 The link below will take you to an extract from QandA on the ABC ...... it's an eye opener on the issue of child abuse in detention.

Q&A on the ABC

The video has been posted by Get Up .... the video is really important to watch as it shows that the number of people in detention is minuscule compared with Australia's annual migrant intake ..... so why are there people in detention?

The figure of 800,000 is comprised of the number of visa grants per year in the Temporary (long-stay) and Permanent Migration Visa Program.  Surely there is room for compassion in this issue?

Back to our VIP .....
This morning Kaylia had a plaster cast taken of her body so that a back brace can be made for her.  The brace will straighten her upper spine and her body will slowly learn to conform to a healthy shape.


Kaylia will need to wear the brace 23 hours per day for a few years.
