NSWGT-EXPOSED COMMENT: There are oodles of info about the existence of an Aussie bloke named Jon Blake. Unfortunately, his life took a turn for the worst while he was still relatively young. To compound his challenge, some awful people took advantage of his circumstances (including the NSW Public Trustee), which had a devastating effect upon his entire family. If ever there was a memory, of a persons legacy worth fighting for, truly it is Jon Blake’s. To Jon and all his family, I hope that the delayed justice that you never got, is bestowed upon you tenfold.

JON BLAKE’S life was lived in two acts, and he came formidably armed for both.

In the second, he deployed more mysterious blessings: an inner spirit whose expression was limited by the few tools of his trade he had left.
JON BLAKE
He was hailed as the next Mel Gibson. An actor’s weapons are his face and his body. Crippled and silenced by an accident that should have killed him, Blake found a way to use both. A thumbs-up meant yes. A thumbs-down, no. Lips pressed firmly together might indicate a protest. A firm blink confirmed understanding. This was the script he was stuck with; what else went on inside will always be his secret.
