Wildlife Artist John Spies.
Leyland’s Australia.
"John, now in his 68th year, has seen a lot of life’s ups and downs. His faith in humans has been severely tested from his early childhood in Nazi occupied Holland, to his various battles with
bureaucracy in Australia. As a result he has a great passion for animals."
Presentation To The 50th Queensland Parliament.
Dorothy Pratt
"John's life is one which I could not convey in the short time allotted. I cannot show his tenacity in adversity and his intense desire to become a good Australian. The life of John Spies is one that
portrays all the elements of society and shows society's willingness to persecute anyone who may be different and perhaps a trusting, easy mark as John's injuries had left him."
