"A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones." -- Nelson Mandela
(“I would like to acknowledge all the children from Lake Alice who have courageously lived through the trauma and the consequences of our time spent there.”
“Children that were defenceless and left unprotected in the most horrible ways, and then left to
navigate our lives as best we could.”
“It is my hope that the outcome of this inquiry is more than just another list of reports and recommendations that are shelved, left gathering dust, and overshadowed by still more reports.”
“That the voices who have so bravely spoken to you, in whatever form, are
honoured and respected and valued enough to make a change.”
Quote from Leoni McInroe testimony to the royal commission )
and we would like the one point five million that was carefully worked out as fair compo for the loss of earnings inflation-adjusted to today's value and paid to every Lake Alice torture victim now and not made to wait 5 more years for the royal commission's rulings as the only fair way to make up for the state perverting the course of justice and the detrimental effect on our lives and our children's lives also the legal fees paid by the first round of claimants who got half that of subsequent rounds to be inflation-adjusted and refunded as this was totally unfair.
The way totally inadequate compo was worked out on time spent in Lake Alice and not how the treatment had effected our lives as that was totally the wrong way to go and being blackmailed into excepting due to our lawyer going broke and saying if
we did not expect we would get nothing better from the state and a bill from him for his services.
You also had a Lake Alice staffer who was one of Dr Leeks righthand men for many years run the sensitive claims unit at ACC turning down all Lake Alice requests for rehab even now we try and access rehab we are refused on technicalities that force us to spend money fighting the decisions in court when the evidence is overwhelmingly clear what happened to us
