If the local paper was correct then I too feel outrage that one of the 'victims' was compalining that her parents were not invited on the taxpayer funded trip as they suffered through association as maybe her friends and their friends and ....gawd are you serious!!!
I think we need to move on and put the hand back in the pocket and victims please fund your own trips now. I mean do we have one every year for ever???? It says a lot about the 'pay me' mentality we have. When is enough enough?? Free travel accommodation transfers ... paid by the taxpayers to fly people up to Bali to a memorial after 10 years is silly. Say your prayers at home or fund the trip yourself and let the pollies do what they do best. Unsustainable self indulgent junkets!
