Apology By the Australian Parliament For Institutionalised Child Abuse 22 October 2018
Some words have such power
To us who hear them in this hour
To know when children alone cried
And justice for them was denied
Evil once ruled when children were abused
Their anguish was the truth then refused
To soothe the damage that was done
Sorry is said from everyone
Harken world we have now said
The deeds done are believed now instead
For we know in coming years
Justice will be served and not more children’s tears.
