I felt the need to add a section on the British Inquiry on Child Migration, as contempory attitudes to Kingsley's legacy are somewhat different to the attitudes 'of the time'. My father and aunt were taken to Fairbridge Pinjarra and if it wasn't for Margaret Humpheries, and the Child Migrant Trust we would not of ever met our family back in England. Same for the British Government that paid for my father to travel to his homeland to meet them. petedavo 08:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
