Hoekom is ek nie verbaas nie?

Of wag!

Eintlik is ek verbaas, ek meen, wat is die definisie van ’n maagd in OZ?

Natuurlik is sy ’n tienjarige dogter wat vinniger as haar pa en broers kan hardloop!!

Ons lees in Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/03/australia-child-sex-abuse-inquiry:

Australia has launched a national inquiry into allegations of child sex abuse in state and religious institutions and NGOs, a process in which more than 5,000 victims are likely to give evidence.

A panel of six commissioners launched the inquiry, known in Australia as a royal commission. Witnesses can be compelled to testify and risk imprisonment for lying.

The inquiry was unlikely to achieve the late 2015 deadline set by the government because so many people wanted to give evidence, said Justice Pete McClellan, the commission's chairman.

McClellan said he expected at least 5,000 people would want to give evidence, but the number could be much higher.

"The task we have is large; the issues are complex," he said. "But we are now in a position to actively begin the work of gathering the stories and examining the responses of institutions."

The prime minister, Julia Gillard, announced the commission in November in the face of a string of sexual abuse accusations against priests and claims of a Roman Catholic church cover-up.

The New South Wales state government had ordered an inquiry a week earlier into allegations of a sexual abuse cover-up by Catholic priests in the Hunter Valley region north of Sydney. Victoria state officials had also begun investigating a separate series of priest sex abuse allegations in their state.

Since the federal inquiry was announced, more than 6,000 people have contacted staff in writing or by phone.

The government has offered free legal advice to people who want to make submissions to the inquiry before public hearings begin after September.

Gillard said the royal commission was an important "moral moment" for the country.

"It is going to require our country to stare some very uncomfortable truths in the face," she told Australian Broadcasting Corp radio.

Nee maar mooi so!

Hou dit dig in die families en in die kerke en saak is reg!

Moet net nie julle perverte frustrasies hier in SA kom uithaal nie!
