The point of view of the Rau family, which was criticised in the press, comes through well and is quite understandable. Also it is clear that Cornelia knew her name all along, perhaps not when she became really ill, which is what I suspected. The 6-day stay at the Princess Alexander Hospital for observation and diagnosis is still perplexing as to how she got the all clear. I do recall a nurse on the radio saying that the place was badly designed for patient observation. Everywhere she was the common folk around saw clearly that she was ill, tried to help in their own way and reported to the authorities, who, with the possible exception of the cops in NQ, stuffed up completely. DIMIA comes through as worse than bad, and Minister Vanstone completely unconvincing. Some-one should put the cleaners through the place! Very briefly, it’s worth a look and adds new detail.
