> Dear all <br>
> This is a REALLY important issue and it seems only about 722 people have
"signed" the e-petition - so please FWD this to AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU
can ASAP and also please sign yourself.<br>
> As you will all (probably) know, my sister, Penny, is autistic and
severely mentally disabled, her hostel is managed by ANGLICARE which seems to
be running badly short of money.<br>
> ANGLICARE's (loosley) affiliated "Kingsdene" school for disabled
kids is under funding threat as neither the bloody NSW or FED Govts will cough
up the $1 mill or so extra to keep this vital place <br>
> functioning, the Govt probably wastes this much in paperclips every 5
minutes!!!!<br>
> Please sign the petition ASAP - it is on line at -<br>
> <br>
> http://gopetition.com.au/online/33791.html<br>
> <br>
> For more details about the problems in this area check tonight's (16 Feb)
repeat of FOUR CORNERS (was 1st on last night) - may be repeated on another
night on ABC 2 or 3 - I don't know).<br>
> Info is on the ABC's website under the story title 'BREAKING POINT"
about families and carers -<br>
