Did the state conspire to have you taken from your family in NZ and sent off to a 'Christian' boarding school in Woop-Woop for... 'education'? (Or should that read 'special treatment'?)

It hurts me too much to discuss it.
Just let me wallow in self pity till i get an opportunity for free legal aid and financial recompense from tax payers.
They will feel better then, it'll be a new beginning .........

They did have a terrible time in many of these state institutions. It wasn't the children's fault they were separated from their parents, who thought they were doing the right thing sending their children to safety.

They should have been looked after properly, but I can't figure out why so many of them were never reunited with their families after the war.

The mark of a great society is the extent of its fidelity to justice.

Quality of justice is measured by the price we're prepared to pay to see it served.

There are many acts the state commits in your name as a citizen that you didn't personally commit. Should compensation not be paid nor an apology offered when a citizen acting for the state, while in the course of his duties, injures a member of the public?

Just curiosity;
Why Australians should always apologize for the crimes done by British? The Queen hasn't Apologized to anyone, neither to Aborigines nor to British children who were sent by her government as slaves in Australia.
As I understand this is suppose to be strictly Pome  business, what does it have to do with Kevin Rudd and Australian tax payers?
Let British tax payers to pay compensation for the crimes done by their Queen and her governments.

The Australian Governments of the day between 1920 and the 1960s conspired with British Governments to populate the empire with white stock. They did so by abducting children from poor parts of working class Britain and sending them as 'orphans' to Australia where many were used as slave labour and phsyically and sexually abused.

Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister plans to make a formal apology on behalf of the British Government early in the new year.

You know what. What you’ve just said is just another Pome deceit. When it happened Australia was British colony (with British Queen as a head of Australian state) and Australian people didn’t have any say in that matter.
Those people were simply adolescent refugees expelled from Britain by their non democratic authoritarian monarch Queen of England who was and still is head of Australian state.
Does it mean that Australians should pay compensation and apologise to refugee’s children from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries who were also forcefully expelled by their non democratic regimes.
This was a crime of Queen of England and her government and she should apologise and pay for what she and her government did to those poor kids and Australian Aborigines.
By the way she also in the same way expelled Maltese children and non talks and apologies to them http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090901/local/maltese-child-migrants-to-get-australian-apology.

Finally why Poms always have to have special privileged status in Australia?
