New laws to implement findings of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse have been introduced by Attorney-General Gordon Ramsay. The Royal Commission was established in 2013 to investigate institutions that have failed to protect children or respond to allegations of child sexual abuse.
“We now know that tens of thousands of children have been sexually abused in many Australian institutions. We will never know the true number. This is a national tragedy, perpetrated over generations within many of our most trusted institutions,” Minister Ramsay said.
