Our nation is going through heartbreak. The data emerging from the
Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
distils tragedy and crime that all but defies belief and can leave no
rational person other than wrenched with grief and fury.
Before we ventilate some of that data, which was revealed on Monday as the royal commission resumed hearings that have been running for more than three years, we would like to pay profound respect to survivors who have shown such courage by speaking out. Their harrowing testimony will surely limit – and hopefully eradicate – the widespread sexual abuse of children by people within institutions.
