Re: Mystery woman ... Cornelia Rau

She was mishandled by 3 separate Govt Depts - the Mental Health Dept assessed her (previously diagnosed as Schizophrenic) as having a few minor problems but perfectly sane - Immigration (because she was speaking only German) contacted several countries to try to identify her (so she was classified as a 'non-citizen'!!!!!) - and she was placed in solitary in Baxter - where she was locked up for 20 out of 24 hours - when let out, she would sit on the ground and eat dirt and mumble in German.... nobody checked with the Police Depts Missing Persons List... a family friend heard about this woman with strange behaviour and checked her out and was surprised...

Makes you wonder just how many other insane Australian 'non-citizens' have been deported.....
