NSW Government accused of stalling national compensation scheme for abuse victims

he New South Wales Government has been accused of holding up a national $4.8 billion redress scheme for children who suffered abuse in institutions.
The scheme was recommended by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in August last year. It recommended a national scheme be set up under the auspices of the Commonwealth Government, which would provide the support and back up.
