ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Tasmanian abuse report finds children ‘disbelieved’ and failed by state institutions | ABC News” – below is their description.
Tasmania’s children have been abused in the government’s institutions — from hospitals to schools — and failed by a state response that has “too often been inadequate”, a commission of inquiry has found.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff addressed parliament after the tabling of the long-awaited commission of inquiry report — a hefty document that makes 191 recommendations across eight volumes and 3,500 pages.
The inquiry examined the responses of the government institutions to allegations of child sexual abuse dating back more than 20 years.
The moment is a turning point in the long road for justice for the many victim-survivors who have come forward to tell their stories of abuse at the hands of teachers, nurses, carers or others working within state institutions.
