What will the voting public of Vic think of this story in the Herald Sun?
"The family has chosen to keep Jack out of the public spotlight since Dr Napthine became premier, but Mrs Napthine spoke of his battle during a wide-ranging pre-election interview. She said the disease had left Jack — who is autistic — with a terrible rash over his body and in his mouth, as well as raw blisters. Jack has been largely too sick to leave his house. “He’s really, really unwell. He’s been on steroids for two years and it has not been of much effect at controlling it,” Mrs Napthine said. “We never mention him being ill. He does not like to talk about it. He likes to pretend it’s not happening.” She said the experimental treatment had involved two large infusions of drugs to try to counteract the disorder. So far, Mrs Napthine said, there had not been any significant change in his health."
