There’s a hell of a lot more than 74 who are guilty of child sex abuse…….

Can someone please explain why the hell Brett Gale (who is a convicted child sex abuser) still is able to have information given to him about kids at Smithton High School.
Me thinks Jenny Gale (his sister) has some explaining to do.

The Tasmanian Government must act, they must listen to the Commissioners, the experts, & the voices of those who came forward to the Commission of Inquiry, & they must close Ashley Youth Detention Centre immediately. Not next year. Not next month. Immediately.

The Greens will be pushing the next govt to act on the Commission of Inquiry’s recommendations and close Ashley Youth Detention Centre, to make laws that protect aboriginal heritage, to give the EPA some real fangs, and to properly ban harmful conversion practices.
It’s no coincidence that children are only ever taken away by CPS from families who are at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale.
I’m not saying that in most cases it’s not warranted but if a government institution is going to take a child away they had better be making damn
