The Forgotten Australians ask us: what sort of country are we really? : Comments

By Angela Sdrinis, Richard Hil and Nick Rose, published 7/11/2007

If compassion for those in need is an 'Australian value', we must give our attention to those who suffered abuse in institutional care.

Thank you for responding to my email.

I find it most interesting that you and I are the only ones communicating on this page.

Are we being politically "incorrect" in raising this issue?

I have the persistance, tenacity and resilliance in order to move my issues forward in seeking compensation for all Child Abuse Victims whilst institutionalised in homes from the 1930's to 1980's.

I am only one voice, but there are voices like myself out here doing our bit in seeking justice for all abused children.

I wish you and your family a very merry christmas and a Happy New Year.

Good on you Michael. Hang in there mate. It takes guts to do what you are doing, and determination too. Lots of people are thinking of you at this time.

All the very best.

Michael - you had BETTER hang in here......there are many people behind my voice - and many others - who have certainly not forgotten the attrocities that occurred to you all as children "our children".
This is the first time since Federation that both State and Federal Governments have been Labor - don't know as yet if this is a good thing or a bad thing....but I can assure you there is absolutely no further excuses can be made by State or Federal in saying oh this issue belongs to the State or visa versa as they are both in the same camp - so to speak.
Let's now see who will be the Ministers with "balls" enough to take this issue right to the top to enable the State of Limitations be lifted, seeking a Royal Commission Enquiry and compensation for all abused victims.
Merry xmas huff and puff - want you to keep viewing this page for updates.
