What? How? Why?
Surely there are alternatives? Safeguards? Backup plans?

No back ups. No safeguards.
I'm screwed.

To explain the story, please see this letter, writen to Today Tonight, and several other media authorities
warning rather long and winding, keep in mind the target and take with a spoonful of salt.
warning rather long and winding, keep in mind the target and take with a spoonful of salt.
- "My story":
- My name is Thomas Thurnham, I am 18 years old and live in the small town of Millmerran QLD, being born with a severe physical disability which has left me confined to a motorised wheelchair; I suffer from numerous disadvantages, all of which increase the difficulty involved with the already challenging feat of pursuing my goals to become a qualified child psychologist.
Though battling illness in my later high school life that lead to my missing out on the 4th term of my 11th year, I managed to complete year 12, and take the QCS test like everyone else last year. Achieving a lower than expected result I anxiously awaited news as to whether or not I would be accepted into the only university in my area, The University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, I gained acceptance into the course I applied for, then came the rush of activity as my family and I struggled to arrange the extra care I would require in the following year, as my only option for study, given my location, was to live on campus or else miss out on the social interaction that i so desperately need. We arranged to meet the head of Disability Services from USQ, unfortunately my great grandfather died shortly before the scheduled meeting, which meant that my family and I needed to go to Sydney for his funeral. We were informed that the head of Disability Services was booked and that the earliest we could arrange a new appointment was the 1st of February. During this meeting we were informed that Disability Services does not actually help with securing accommodation, and that because we had not launched an application for on campus accommodation, the two wheelchair accessible units had been allocated to other students.
These students, while having disabilities of some description do not require wheelchair friendly units and could do perfectly fine in the rooms elsewhere, but due to some bureaucratic errors they are somehow booked into them.
I also do not understand that of the 400+ on campus units there are 2 disabled friendly units. That’s a ration of 200:1 or .5% of all the students that can live on site are allowed to require wheelchair friendly units. If that is not discriminating then I don’t know what is. For a university that wants to be known for helping each one of its students and treating them like heroes, it sure has an odd way of helping its disabled applicants. Somehow there must be a way for me to still attend University just like everyone else that doesn’t have a disability.

I'll read it, then probably edit to comment.

Re: I leave my life to ou
I see. So, how did you resolve that?
Did you send that to A Current Affair as well? After all, you'd want a reputable, impartial program to air your views.
Alex, how dare you. It wasn't really that long, and for such an upstanding member of the Resplect community, you should show more interest. After all, it's not like you don't have enough time on your hands.

I'm glad it was resolved. Who else is heading to USQ?

Not I.
Alex is off to the big smoke (technically I'm already here, see the internet speed thread).
