Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements (Resumed).

 

I make no case for those who perpetrated terrible crimes against young people not only because they were in a position of trust, but above all because they were dealing with the most vulnerable members of society. On the other hand, if we are to do what is correct in this instance, we must act urgently, in a focused manner and without political expediency. This must be done because it is right, society demands it and, above all, because if we do not correct and somehow compensate for the injustices which have taken place, they will revisit and haunt us again and again in the long run.
