These five organisations refuse to join the child abuse redress schemeThe Families and Social Services Minister has threatened sanctions against six organisations that have left 55 survivors of childhood sexual abuse without a clear path to justice. I can’t believe these organizations didn’t sign up. Why not? What are they concerned about! A pony club, Adventist’s among the six. Shameful. Are they all white European Australian Christian organisations like the European Australian Catholic Church with devout Christian Pell preaching with children's bottoms? macsween_prue Have you sern the amount that redress is? Its obscene considering the destruction of lives. Employees wrongfully sacked have been awarded 100x more. Fcking Rebel Wilson was awarded 1000x more for “Words” against her. Fck Family & Social Services this is all a smoke screen.
