Victorian government’s “lack of humanity” is “disgusting”

Victorian Liberal MP Tim Smith said that he was “disgusted and angry” with the ruthlessness and lack of humanity of the state government and did not allow exemptions for the number of drowning boys’ funerals. Cooper Onyett, an 8-year-old boy, drowned in the school camp. His family asked for exemption from funerals for more than 10 people, but their request was rejected by the authorities. Mr. Smith told Sky News host Chris Kenny: “I want to make it very clear that I will never politicize the death of this little boy.” “But I am very disgusted and angry with this cruelty and lack of humanity. “Of course, someone can say “yes” to his poor family… Of course someone can intervene to ensure that the family holds a funeral for their son. “I can not believe it.”
