There are those, in positions of power who could, at the stroke of a pen or by making a telephone call end this agony for someone, who through no fault of her own is not only in a world of extreme physical pain; but one of exquisite mental torment.
It's not good enough, no where near.
The Minister could fix it. Mrdak could fix it. Pel Air could fix it. Insurers could fix it. The AsMA could exert enough pressure to get it fixed. For the sake of the cost of one years executive lunches a life of pain, grief and misery could be altered.
Strange place Australia; mountains of public outpouring for those who are dead and cannot be helped; politicians wailing, rending flesh, crying buckets of public tears and no expense spared. Yet to raise a pinky finger to help one solitary soul is a step too far, but gutter tactics are deemed acceptable, even laudable. How cynical, how low, how disgusting is this country becoming? ask Ziggy, for surely she has seen the absolute worst of it and must live each day with that certain knowledge. Shame for Australia.
Othello - If thou dost slander her and torture me,
Never pray more. Abandon all remorse.
On horror’s head horrors accumulate,
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed,
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that.
Selah....

Pel-Air Aviation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regional Express Holdings, denies Dr Helm, who lives in Britain, and Ms Casey are entitled to damages.
However, Pel-Air says the 1999 Montreal Convention applies, and although the plaintiffs launched legal proceedings within the two-year limitation period, they did not plead a specific cause of action under the convention and are therefore out of time.
Translation - If you’re slandering her just to torture me, then it’ll be no use to pray for mercy or say you’re sorry. You might as well go ahead and commit every unspeakable crime you can think of, because there’s nothing you could that would top what you’ve already done! (Spark)
