well they could of put me on the radio and put me on a lie detector and it would of proved i was raped and abused at daruk boys home windsor new south wales australia now known as the john morroney correctional centre windsor new south wales australia ,

the boys home the state of new south wales still continues to cover up about and have had the log books of misconduct records log books , excursion record log books , and isolation cell record log books ,

if the rapes and abuse were not true of what i have stated since 1997 why would the state of new south wales destroy these records , provinga victims case ,

where is the justice in our courts for us forgotten australians the victims the goverment of australia still cover up about ,

im real victimthe state of new south wales continue to cover up about , as of many other victims from other girls and boys homes and orphanages , state ward homes , state run church homes , out of home care , and many more other institutions in our country australia

I agree with huffnpuff

If the populist do-gooders and “social opinion shapers” of the sort Houellebecq aspires to be, when he grows up - (imho I think he would make a better card-carrying libertarian despite his leftie past)

As I was saying ….. If the populist do-gooders and “social opinion shapers” were to address the real issues instead of pursuing the short course to their own “15 minutes of fame” we might have fewer disrupted and torn lives to deal with.

And like I said before, the judgmentalistics and self-righteous seem to make a point of avoiding the role of the attendant mother in this pathetic freak show.

Houellebecq RE 'we are barbarians.'
Speak for yourself. I take no responsibility for someone else's entertainment. I didn't even know about the show.”

Exactly, we live in a reasonably liberal society. I am not responsible for the poor behavior, manners or sense of responsibility of others.

I do not steal and of seek excuses

I brought my daughters up without sticking them into a three ring circus for public entertainment. Admittedly, I did not get any free tickets to see Pink but I have reared two productive, participating and contributing members of society with values such that they do not cheapen themselves for monetary gain.

Nina, thank you for your response to my article.

I don't for a moment think that all disclosure is inherently re-victimising.

I think it's really important to note that very, very few victims of sexual assault will ever have an opportunity to disclose in a public arena, even though they might very much want to. There just isn't a forum for this.

I sometimes wonder if we ought to have a regular media report on sexual assault and domestic violence statistics, just as we have regular reports on the ASX and road deaths.

It is perplexing and worrying that even though there is probably more public awareness of sexual assault than ever before in human history, that has done nothing to reduce the number of assaults. The same can be said for domestic violence. Clearly, raising public awareness is not leading to less violence, sexual and every other kind. I could suggest many explanations for this, but there isn't room for that here.

I don't know what Hetty Johnston 'has to answer for.' I don't actually know of anyone who doesn't have to answer for something in somebody's opinion.
