What About The Children?

[the_great_she_elephant]

I am amazed and disgusted that in all the indignation over what Gillian Triggs should or shouldn't have done or who said or didn't say what to her, not ONE SINGLE POLITICIAN  except, finally, Malcolm Turnbull, has commented in any way on the contents of her report..

She found that  over a 15-month period from January 2013 to March 2014, spanning both the Labor and Coalition governments  there were 233 recorded assaults involving children and 33 incidents of reported sexual assault. 

If these findings are true - and as far as I know nobody has so far disputed them -   then what is going to be done about it? Who had the duty of care? who is going to be held responsible. What measures are going to be put in place to stop this abuse happening in future?

Both Gillian Triggs and George Brandis are astute and comparitively wealthy adults able to instruct top  legal practitioners to protect their reputaions - but who is going to protect the safety of these children? How many more children have been abused since March 2014? Is a child perhaps being abused in a detention centre  even while you are reading this post? 

Surely to goodness after all that was learned from the Children In Care Royal Commission this report cannot simply be put in a "don't want to know" basket while both sides of Pariament try to gain political mileage out the motives of the Human Rghts Commissioner or the behaviour of the Attourney General.

At some point -though probably not in the lifetime of this government  or even  the one that follows it - there will inevitably be a Royal Commission into the treatment of children in detention centre. what do you imagine its findings are likely to be?

Those hearings are not related to the subject of this thread.

If you're going to post Video try one of Macdonald while sitting in the chair interrogating Triggs.

OK.  Fair enough label from someone that has to live with his single girlfriend and her children on welfare.

Sorry, if that sounded hostile.  There is loads of derogatory clips and hardly any of the true picture.  😄

She lied, she's biased, she hates the LNP, she denies she did something then says she did, then retracts it.

I mean, come on, she sounds like Senator Hanson Young getting confused over a TV show and reality.

Snuggling up to Labor ministers to work out the timing of the investigation and report, all very convenient.

I wonder what job Labor will parachute her into in 5 years time ?

No doubt some cushy number that she wants on a nice fat salary.

Tanya and Wong have probably already got it worked out.

Why do you insist on slandering a well respected female Person of the Law?

You know nothing you have said is true.  Not a single word of your fabrications about Triggs are true.  Just pure slander.

Well...Gillian Triggs herself put her own severely disabled child into foster care because she felt she should focus on her abled children.

So...

This poor excuse for a human being has no credibility, her actions damn her and her bias is rampant.

She is doing what the left has always done, use children for politcal purposes and she is being exposed for it.

The left are exposed for their support of her and its patently obvious why.

I did provide proof. You just refuse to acknowledge the truth.

That Gillian Triggs is a well respected, highly accomplished Law person that was treated appallingly by Brandis and the childmen.

He even used a past student of hers to try to push her out of her job.  

Moraitis said he took the message to her, on behalf of Brandis, but didn't ever think she would accept the offer.   

Of course he lost the notes. If not, the police would have been forced to investigate both him and Brandis.

Proof or it didn't happen. What's that, housewife rubbish round the LOSEE lunch table after morning tennis ????

Want to play that game ? I'll post that every time you post your L&I's

You call everything a lie that doesn't fit your agenda !

Look on youtube, heaps of them. Here The Full Scene is one

Or if you want something really funny, search on Tv Show Sea Patrol is real

where she can't distinguish between a TV drama and reality. Doh !

You said Sarah Hanson-Young has been censured by the Senate the same as Brandis was today.

I asked for proof or it didn't happen because I knew you were wrong.  She never has been censured by the Senate.

But look at that, all you can come back with is a whole pile of rubbish which does nothing to back up your false claim.

So no, it is not me telling lies. That is all your domain.

She has criticized ALP as much as LNP, it is just that ALP is in the past and not responsible for what is going on now.  It is the LNP who need to act.  Your problem is that you just parrot Bolt, Piers and Jones, without actually knowing what is the truth.
