Governor-General plea

-

THE tribunal decided on a resounding yes and the masterful politician­s have said no. I believe the Australian public would like this decision to be vetoed and the medal awarded. What power does the GovernorGe­neral have? A fine military man, and a General of the Australian Army. I wonder if a whispered word in the ear would settle the matter in the affirmativ­e. Let us pray that justice will be done for Teddy Sheean who in a moment decided to give his life for his shipmates and for this nation.
