More than 2,700 redress applications have been lodged but Mr Fletcher said of those, in cases where the institution could be identified, nearly half related to organisations that had not signed up. "And that is why I am calling on institutions which have not yet joined the scheme, where historical child sexual abuse may have occurred, to take the necessary steps to join the scheme as soon as possible," he said.

Fifty-one people have received payments so far while 31 offers had been made. A Senate estimates hearing was told the average payment was $79,000.Cardinal George Pell's conviction for child sex offences"Whenever there is public attention and media coverage of incidences of historic child sexual abuse, we have experienced with the operation of the scheme, an increase in the number of applications that come in," he said.

"So I think that it is likely that the news of this week will prompt more survivors to apply for redress."

Thousands of allegations of sexual abuse against migrant children revealedThe complaints include allegations of inappropriate touching, staff members allegedly watching minors while they bathed, and showing pornographic videos to minors. Before or after they became migrants? Trafficking is a huge part of this mess and why so many kids are separated. I doubt the adults are their parent in many cases. Australian politicians and institutions can make decisions for their benefit, not ours. Funding investigative journalism is an exceptionally effective way to establish examples. We fund the ABC, in part, to monitor our democracy on our behalf. monitoryDemos auspol Nice try ABC, but we know how you operate now, time to leave your hate bubbles.

California couple who kept their 13 children captive plead guilty to child abuseThe abuse came to light when one of the captives, an emaciated 17-year-old girl, escaped through the window of her parents' house and called authorities. Ah California people 💩ing on the streets & now this, a Leftist's paradise. The death penalty- Justice - swift and sure! It is hard to imagine the very long term abuse of 13 kids within one suburbia family wasn't noticed by close/distant relatives and/or neighbours. It is a true sad indictment and a miserable failure of our current society...............
