Bloodied Brains & Bureaucrats

Bloodied Brains & Bureaucrats

- Default Title
Description
A car accident leaves Leo Brodie disabled and dependent on ineffectual disability services and government bureaucrats. The past is forgotten and the present chaotic. Service providers complain that Leo does not accept his new status, although his anger achieves action. Other people with disability look to him for leadership. He is articulate and charismatic despite his brain injury. But Leo is not all he seems. Clients of disability services strive to obtain control of their lives in contemporary Australia. Some workers are supportive while others are out for what they can get. Occasionally clients and workers forget their roles and come together as people first. Meanwhile their lives are turned upside down through changes wrought by public servants and politicians jostling for power. Projects get cancelled, services get reorganised and scapegoats are found for failures.
