Re: Anniversary of "Rainbow Warrior" bombing

Gordon - I've just spent some time reading through your thread about the Maralinga veteran's issue. The neglect of, and indifference towards these men (and their families) is almost beyond belief - not to mention the cover-ups and just plain lies. The saddest thing is how few of those concerned would be left alive to benefit from any compensation that did eventuate.
