It's embarrassing for Australia that this entire saga occurred within in the last 10 years. Not some long ago scandal when general community sensibilities were different. While it was occurring it didn't pass the pub test, yet it carried on for 4 years.

I hope some of the criminal/corrupt activities that have been referred to law enforcement by the royal commission result in meaningful consequences for those responsible.

That potato head fucker can fuck right off. The pack of them bastards 'gleefully' implemented an obviously idiotic scheme that resulted in trauma and deaths throughout the most vulnerable. They are on par with the Irish priests in the Ryan Report who argued that "No-one told us it was wrong to rape kids"
