Child abuse survivor slams government’s 8-year extension of national redress scheme deadline

The federal government has given institutions named and shamed in the royal commission into child sexual abuse an extra eight years to sign up to the national redress scheme.

It is the second time the deadline has been extended, this time until 2028, a transcript of the parliamentary inquiry into the operation of the scheme shows.

An independent review of the scheme is due to be finished by the end of February which should canvass issues that include further ways to ensure institutions join the scheme.

Of the 158 institutions mentioned at the royal commission, three have not flagged their intention to join.

A further 16 have said they are intending to join but have not yet signed up, and there are 11 institutions that have been assessed as “unable to meet the legislative requirements”.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses is the only national organisation to declare they will not be joining.

Jehovah’s Witnesses abuse survivor and advocate Lara Kaput said it felt like the government was “buying themselves time” while they decide how to handle institutions who have not signed up.

“There is no clear government strategy to make the Jehovah’s Witness leaders accountable that has been shared with survivors,” she said.

All part of Satan's wicked world, both JW Org and the Australian government. 

Same in America, the government and CCJW / Watchtower all under the Devil's control. 

Child Sex Abuse Victims are just treated as collateral damage, and just pushed aside by the Leaders of the JW Org and the governments.
