Verity, Gerard go on morale boost at Carenne

Verity Firth and Gerard Martin made a 'surprise' visit to their friends at Carenne Special School today after opening a new block at Lithgow High School. The visit was an obvious attempt at boosting morale at a school beset with problems and endemic with corruption.

The delegation arrived after Police made a sweep of the area to ensure "Indymedia troublemakers" were not present. During the brief visit, Ms Firth visited a number of classrooms, told staff how great they were and how it is one of her favourite schools before inspecting the Riding for the Disabled site and the RDA/Carenne therapy farm where part of $3.7 million was siphoned to.

Staff claim it was nothing but a "farce".

Before leaving, an interview was held out the front by media.
