CLAN 🇺🇦 Michael Daley Chris Minns As a former NSW State Ward,I say former as I tremor at the thought of reliving my childhood, I am sincerely interested in why CLAN has received no response. Please respond to our letter. Our members are not looking for charity just the simple common decency you can provide.

CLAN 🇺🇦 Always a good read!
I look forward to sitting down with a cuppa and reading each copy the day it’s delivered. It’s a great way to stay connected, and to keep up to date with what’s going on in the Redress space.

CLAN 🇺🇦 Amanda Rishworth MP I quite honestly want nothing to do with the perpetrators who covered up my childhood trauma. It’s hard enough learning to live with it without having personal contact to heal their conscience & public relations mistakes.
💙💛

CLAN 🇺🇦 Amanda Rishworth MP Chris Minns & Amanda Rishworth MP Personal apologies are not taken by many care leavers because the organizations that give them don’t mean anything they say. I’ve received at least 6 or 7 from the Salvos Australia. They all lacked meaning, sincerity and genuineness.

CLAN 🇺🇦 Amanda Rishworth MP A Direct Personal Response from those churches, charities & others who abused us in care is,in most instances,a waste of time & merely a PR spin exercise. It was said of the Salvos Australia that they valued their money & good name rather than the people they abused.

CLAN 🇺🇦 I can hardly bear to read of such cruelty and callousness. Justice for ALL!

CLAN 🇺🇦 Amanda Rishworth MP No. Not for me, not again...I do not want empty and cold apologies as I got from the Nuns from the Convent.

CLAN 🇺🇦 Amanda Rishworth MP Government apology 🙄 Scripted at best. No respect or justice for Careleavers

CLAN 🇺🇦 Amanda Rishworth MP I am so sick of government and sisters of mercy saying they didn't know stop pretending to be sorry you all were supposed to protect us and turned blind eyes to what was happening and didn't care . Where is our redress for torture, pain, and suffering.
