Family blasts Qld for funeral limits despite Origin crowds
The heartbroken family of a Bali bombing survivor have lashed out at the Queensland government’s double standards, which forced them to turn people away from their loved one’s funeral while more than 50,000 were allowed to attend State of Origin.
Jake Ryan, who survived the 2002 Bali bombings, died last month in a freak accident while on a holiday in Italy with his girlfriend.
Mr Ryan was jogging with his headphones in when he was hit by a train in Noto, Sicily on October 13.
The 39-year-old was also a talented AFL player and the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium offered to host a large funeral to allow all of Mr Ryan’s friends and family to celebrate his life.
