I am appalled by the narrow-minded attitude of bureaucrats towards Jon's impassioned and enlightened project.

The Govmnt fails to see that their IGNORANT & blind decisions affect the lives of young Victorians who have every right to make a choice. These young Victorians will one day get to VOTE, what fools. State Govmt are here to serve all the people, not just those who fit into their pre-determined moulds. Power to the people, stand up, be heard, fight for choice!
