Peter Hojgaard-Olsen gave us an update on his son Phillip, who is enjoying Denmark so much, he has no intention of returning to Australia, and has become a dual citizen. However he acting as an integrator for more Australians to visit Denmark to see the great work being done there. The government's NDIS scheme now makes this a lot easier. Great to hear that Phillip has progressed to being able to sail. We wish Phillip all the best.
