How terrible. Her bereaved mother accuses the Australian Government of murdering Theda because they don't want to admit that Australia isn't Lyme-free. Do you agree? If it's true that there's a cover-up, I wonder why.

I wouldn't call it a cover up as such BUT the government has for the past 20 odd years denied the existence of Lyme here on the basis of one study, and in contradition to many other studies and the growing number of us who are ill. The good news is though that this is under review.
It can't happen quick enough.
