I will investigate the ins and outs of a Class Action... Can't do it until Monday though - tied up with appointments tomorrow and Friday.

The only problem I can foresee is that Legal Aid may not cover the cost - so it may mean that those who want to be involved will have to dip into their own pockets and the cost will likely be massive.

The major part of the cost is the solicitor/s involved. The cost of their time putting together each and every individual case to create one case. Using a hypothetical of 2000 parents - one solicitor can't do it alone. It would take at least 5 solicitors at a minimum.

And what would the aim be... Compensation? An apology? There needs to be an aim.

But, tweaking the idea a bit and going down a different path... If 2000 parents were to write their stories it may evoke reaction.

Especially if these stories were copied 3 or 4 times and sent - at the same time or even together - to 3 or 4 different places... Parliament House, the biggest newspaper in Australia, the biggest TV station in Australia and elsewhere.

All these places, they get letters from parents all the time... But they're single letters and from random parents.

They don't get letters or stories en mass all at once. It's unheard of, it's shocking... And it's an idea.

Sending a massive amount of stories in one hit is better than sending them individually and running the risk of many being lost on someone's desk.

You cant lose a massive box of mail.

And we could make the buggers sign for it too. Then we would know they definitely received it.
