Victim compensation schemes are important to those Forgotten Australians who suffered harm in Children’s Homes. The dedicated website Cuts to victims compensation details current changes to the NSW victim’s compensation scheme and associated campaign events for responsible victims compensation provisions.
This is more abuse by the Government! To treat all residents of NSW with the distain shown by this act is cowardly behaviour. The Government pays more to keep the perpetrators of crime in goal than for the CITIZEN Victims who are expected to get on with it after they have been traumatised, and left to build their broken lives. Adding insult to injury is the fact that the government has also reduced funding for lawyers who act for the victims. It is outrageous that they fund overseas programs and as usual their own go to hell. My Grandmother used to say that charity begins at home, if the home is strong then you can help others. The government is making it harder on the taxpayer who will pay in the long run.
the abuse we suffered as children remain with us as adults i totally believe my life was altered because
