@CLAN_AU @sueWhittin38539 @ChrisMinnsMP @pruecar @michaeldaleyMP @hugh_mcdermott @jihaddibmp @NSWLabor @KateRWashington @smh NSW would probably follow the example of other states. 1. Establish Redress 2. Accept submissions 3. Wait very long painful years 4. Wait for unfortunate victims to die 5. Keep $$ in bank 6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 indefinitely Victims poorly treated continuously 💙💛

All blokes were in #Orphanages, #BoysHomes are they want NSW to establish #Redress ⁦@ChrisMinnsMP⁩ ⁦@pruecar⁩ ⁦@michaeldaleyMP⁩ ⁦@hugh_mcdermott⁩ ⁦@jihaddibmp⁩ @NSWLabor⁩ ⁦@KateRWashington⁩ #CareLeaversNeverGoingAway ⁦@smh⁩

He was a fixture of Aussie television but behind the laughter lay a spiralling battle.

@CLAN_AU I’d guess it’s a religious apparatus given to girls in Catholic homes.
