Family and friends are encouraging everyone who knew the Spies family to celebrate their life.

Friends and family are paying tribute to the three members of the Spies family who lost their lives in a fire at a caravan park in Mandurah on Wednesday morning. Paul Murray spoke to David Ullyett who coached 13 year old Georgie Spies. David told Paul, Georgie was on track to become the AFL's first female umpire.

We can house the thousands of illegal immigrants coming into this country yet we can't house this family or the others suffering from the rising costs of living? This Government is trying to tax us left, right and centre, is trying to take away our Medicare rebate which is going to push up everyone's health insurance by at least 10% and yet is spending millions on new facilities to take in MORE illegal immigrants! This AUSTRALIAN family deserved better and the government should take responsibility for their loss.

Why is it okay to be discussing the financial and personal situation of a man and his family who were killed in caravan park at Mandurah.
How has Mr Spies' Centrelink business or tax issues become public.
Dont these people have any privacy rights now they are gone? A bit disturbing I would have thought.
