Having been born and educated here in Australia, I feel I do represent the “mloda Polonia” (younger Polish generation in Australia), and consequently, I am horrified and embarrassed when I read the way in which you respond to people, in your capacity as President of the Federation of NSW. I wonder what people around the world think now about Polonia NSW.

I fully support Mr Szerszen in his questioning of the manner in which Federation is run and in the questions he posed relating to “Fundusz Wieczysty”. In fact, I undertake (with Mr Szerszen’s permission) to translate the questions in his article into English, mainly because, I want those same answers too, and I’m sure the subject matter is of interest to others in the same position as myself who know and understand Polish quite well, but for whom English is our first language. The matters are of interest because we do care about the future of Poles and Polonia in Australia, and so we should.

I am well-informed as to the manner in which you run your Federation organization, and I feel it is high time that Polonia NSW DEMANDS greater competence, skill, fairness and culture from someone who seeks and claims to represent it.

A man was walking on the beach and saw another man throwing starfish back into the surf. Thousands of starfish had been washed up onto the beach, and they were dying. The second man said to the first man, “why do you bother?” “Its not going to make any difference – there are thousands washed up on the beach every year!”. The first man replied and said “Well it made a difference to the one I threw back!”

PS: Calling all starfish ………its time to speak up!
