1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Afternoon. It's been a big day for the survivors of

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: abuse in state and faith based care. The government has

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: finally officially apologized for the horrific abuse that they suffered,

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: but a lot of today's attention has been on the

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: solicitor to Solicitor General Uner Jegosi, who also apologized but

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: was booed and heckled by survivors so they want to

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: strip from her job. Leonly McEnroe is a Lake Alice

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: survivor who attended the apology today. Haleone sura, how do

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: you feel about that apology?

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: Then? Well, I think for many people, I would hope

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: that for many people components of it it helps towards

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: healing and the closing of this end of the journey.

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: There are some that were really unhappy, and I guess

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, as the Prime Minister says,

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: weren't are important, but their need to be accountability in

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: redress and the fact that that was not actually in

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: alignment with today's apology in words, is really disappointing.

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Who did you go see the Solicitor General was arguably

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: the one who cop the most heat today. Why the

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: strength of thread towards her?

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: Oh, it's an appropriate that she retains her position as

22
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: the highest example of law in the country. She has

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: actively been a part of denying, dismissing survivors claims. She

24
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: has fought vigorously. She is the bully of Crown law

25
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: in the way that she has behaved towards survivors. She

26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: has not handed over documents as the Flicitor General and

27
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: the police required them. Could have seen doctor Leek's charged earlier,

28
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: but when asked can't sort of understand the reasons why

29
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: that was never done and in fact laid the responsibility

30
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: at a junior Crown lawyer's seat. You know, she's completely inappropriate.

31
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: She needs to stand down. She has caused so much

32
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: continued harm and former by the way that she has

33
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: specifically been involved in survivors claims. Yeah, you know, we

34
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: had laid a complaint against her for under the Climes

35
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: of Torture Act, obstruction of justice and access three after

36
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: the fact. And why she felt that or anyone felt

37
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: it was appropriate for her, with her legacy of betrayal

38
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: to survivors in a very legal, aggressive legal way, to

39
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: stand in front of survivors and try and speak is

40
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: the stupidest pr stunt I've ever seen. It was the

41
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: sense that she was.

42
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: There all right, Leoni, thank you very much, really appreciate

43
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: its Leonie McEnroe, who's a Lake Alie survivor.

44
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to
