These quotes and these agency hearings are relevant because, sadly, much of the officials' time, and now royal commission, has been spent justifying this bill, which they tell us will improve oversight and monitoring of our child protection system. But the response from Keith Wiffin, a survivor, to that was: "That is hugely disrespectful to survivors, because we don't think that's the case." He went on to say, "You could have at least acknowledged the serious reservations we have about that because what you're doing is essentially retaining power and control over the processes and asking us to trust you." End quote. So because of a decision made by the lovely Labour Government, precious time that should have been about honestly fronting up to the past in detail and committing to working with survivors to prevent future abuses was spent again telling survivors that their concerns don't matter, that the Government knows better.
