I was one of the presenters at the public forum in Victoria on Sept 16. There were several comments at the venue regarding the almost complete lack of media coverage before and during the event. If we trusted our government to actually be working for us this could be excused as a non event in a news day filled with the glaring reports of the rape of a sixteen year old girl at a teenage party. The media and the government need to get their priorities re-adjusted. Can we rely on the Cohen Commission to accomplish this?
