30 years ago... the days of a progressive state government, and
sweeping changes granting some of the freedoms that modern
'enlightened' society allows & now cannot be discriminated against
without prosecution. I am led to believe that prior to the
anti-discrimination laws the 'dunking' of the persons concerned who
used to congregate on the bank of the Torrens, was 'de rigeur', &
there was an accidental death. A most unfortunate & regrettable
incident, which I remember even though I was only five or six.
