While it was WA Day for everyone else in our great state, for me, my family, pastoralists, exporters & myriad small businesses in the live export sector today marks 10yrs since Joe Ludwig & Julia Gillard acted unlawfully to deliver a “capricious & unreasonable” blow to us all./1

Thanks to everyone for all of the messages of support.Our little girl is doing fantastically & has full movement in all her limbs, toes & fingers.She only has to spend the next 3 months in the Aspen brace while her neck heals, which is a far better hand than many people get dealt

I’m not a cryer, but I couldn’t hold back the tears just now when I saw my beautiful daughter wiggle her toes when the ER Dr at PCH gave them a tickle.Still a long road to recovery but it’s a better start than many get🤞.
