Not Cystic Fybrosis (Thats a Lung Disease), he has Cerebal Palsy (which is a
brain defect) and I honestly think that Countrylink and/or Cityrails
treatment is absolutely inappropriate. They have a responsibility and that
is to take care of their clients/passengers etc and all this guy needed was
someone to help him drink and eat. Is that too much for Countrylink staff to
handle?

Well I hope they treat my grandmother a lot better when she comes up on the
Brisbane XPT and goes back on the Murwillimbah XPT.
