I got one, so what about Sonia?
A state funeral is the least we in Sydney should offer this remarkable woman.
After all,she wore a dress in the early seventies that no other women in their right mind would wear. A cut to the thigh any butcher would be proud off.
Bring it on Sonia, we will miss you.
