Do not forget. Victims of abuse have been banging on the doors of our political allsorts and Parliaments across Australia. As individuals and in groups for far too long! Consider “Charles” visitors and workers in NSW parliament have all seen him. He is now a frail old man who has protested outside our NSW Parliament for almost two decades with elected representatives and officers of the court walking past as if he is not there. Acting like what his signs expose is nothing of importance! This long overdue and very overt flurry of concern and activity for long suffering victims of pedophiles, by those very same people and political parties who have for the most part ignored our complaints and maintained an offensive yet effective barrier between unsupported abuse victims, our elected representatives and the church. Should be over sighted with suspicion, by those who have won this first battle with government for a Royal Commission because there have been many other enquiries and RCs which have not truly and effectively satisfied the victims by helping expose and lift their heavy burdens. How this Royal Commission plays out will be entirely up to those who have won the first battle (a promise of a Royal Commission) to keep going and have faith in themselves with the overt support of the wider community to achieve everything they are entitled too.
